LAN routers in two datacentres 3 different subnets

Allan Pumphrey

I have two LAN routers in two datacentres with a private connection joining them. I am trying to communicate from one datacentre to the other but haven’t been able to get the rules/routes sorted. The details are as follows:

 (Datacentre 1) 172.16.5.X/24 (GW: 172.16.5.254)<-> 172.16.0.1/30 <-> (Datacentre 2) 172.16.0.2/30 <-> 172.16.6.X  (GW: 172.16.6.254)                                                                                                

 

I can ping 172.16.6.254 from Datacentre 1 and can ping 172.16.5.254 from Datacentre 2. I can tell by the ping duration that the traffic is moving between the datacentres but cannot ping 172.16.6.1 from Datacentre 1 or ping 172.16.5.1 from Datacentre 2. Configuration screen shots are as follows:

 

Datacentre 1

 

 

 

Datacentre 2

 

 

 

 

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi there,

    to determine if everything is configured correctly, the configured Gateways would be helpful.

     

    What you could try to do is the following (without knowing the configured Gateways):

    Datacenter 1:

    Change your Interface Route to Gateway Route with the following Gateway:  172.16.0.1
    Disable MASQ in your Rule

    Datacenter 2:

    Change your Interface Route to Gateway Route with the following Gateway: 172.16.0.2
    Disable MASQ in your Rule

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the fast reply! Is this what you are looking for?

     

    Datacentre1

     

     

    Datacentre2 is the same as Datacentre 1 but with different ips/network

     

    Thanks

    Do you have a policy route and a static route?

    Your static route you posted before wasn't that wrong.

     

    You should remove this policy route and make the changes mentioned above to your static route you posted before.

    OK, Got it! I have removed the Policy Route and "gateway" from my previous change to revert it back to the configuration when I posted this question. Then as you said... I removed the "Interface" from the route and populated the "Gateway" with the IP from Datacentre 2 172.16.0.1 and its now working. Thanks for so much... made my day!

     

    Datacentre 1's Route is shown below
