Trying to setup Static Route

I am replacing a Cisco ADSL router with a Sophos XG Firewall

The Sophos is the default gateway at 192.168.49.2 and there is an ISP managed gateway at 192.168.49.1

The managed gateway connects to a remote site on 192.168.46.0/24 subnet

For those who know the Cisco Configs: ip route 192.168.46.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.49.1

 

I setup a Static Route as follows:

Destination IP/Netmask: 192.168.46.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.49.1
Interface: LAN interface
Distance: tried 0 up to 3

Nothing seems to be working
Can anyone help?

  • For testing you could set up the following on both firewalls:

    Zone: LAN, Network: 192.168.49.0 -> Any to Zone: Any Network: 192.168.46.0

    On the other side the other way around.

    You do not need masqureding for that, but you definitely need a FW rule on both sides that allows traffic.

  • Thank you so much for your help Pascal, everything working properly now.

  • Retract that, when I replaced the device on the other side I found that the Static Route is now working and traffic is leaving, but it isn't getting past the router on the other side

    I've created firewall rules on both sides that should be allowing full access to each subnet 

     

    Both sides have

    LAN -> Local Subnet -> Any Service      to      Any Zone -> Remote Subnet -> Any Service

    and

    Any Zone -> Remote Subnet -> Any Service      to      LAN -> Local Subnet -> Any Service

     

    I can only get as far as the Sophos router in either direction.


    HELP!?!

  • Issue was asymmetric routing over the ISP managed WAN. Resolved it using advanced firewall setup to route around the asymmetric routing found in another thread
