Routing/Firewalling - two gateways on Head Office LAN segment

Hi all,

I've hunted through the forum but I am unable to find precisely what I am experiencing.  I think my issues is related to firewalling.

I have a network with two gateways.  One is a managed router controlling access to all of our remote sites.  The second router is the XG330.

I wish to set the XG330 as the default gateway for the local network and have it route traffic for our remote sites through the managed router on the LAN interface.

I cannot reconfigure the network to place the managed router behind the XG so I am stuck with this configuration.  I had a UTM9 (AG220) prior to purchasing the XG330 and this configuration worked.

I have been playing with the new router for the last few days and have managed to get it to publish some of our internal services to the internet but I cannot get it to allow traffic initiated from the remote sites.

However, if I ping a PC at the remote site and have the remote PC ping back the packets arrive at their destination from the remote PC.  Once I stop ping from my local segment after a short time the remote PC is unable to ping my PC again and receive request timed out.

Below is the Unicast Route configuration

Below is the Firewall Rule for LAN to MWAN traffic

Any suggestions welcome but I am unable to reconfigure the Managed Router so it has to stay as is.

  • Hi Dale,

    I suspect issue is Asymmetric routing, Your traffic from Local to remote must have traversed via Hostmachine>XG>Router(LAN)>Remote Site and the reply went from remote>Router(LAN)>Hostmachine.

    If that is the case configure bypass rule for remote network.

     

    Console>set advanced-firewall bypass-stateful-firewall-config add source_network 1.1.1.1 source_netmask 255.255.255.0 dest_network 2.2.2.2 dest_netmask 255.255.255.0

    Console>set advanced-firewall bypass-stateful-firewall-config add source_network 2.2.2.2  source_netmask 255.255.255.0 dest_network 1.1.1.1 dest_netmask 255.255.255.0

    Output:
    Set BypassFirewall Successfully Done.
