  • XGS2100_RL01_SFOS 19.5.0 GA-Build197 HA-Primary# ip route get 192.168.131.110
    192.168.131.110 dev ipsec0 table 220 src 192.168.123.1 uid 0
    cache

    The WAF has source on Port2 with is the WAN Port. is this the issuse? 

  • Hi   Is System NAT Applied for 192.168.131.110 to NAT it via Firewall LAN Interface IP or any LAN device IP which is part of the tunnel network? If not yet applied then try the same as per the below KBA and confirm the status.

  • Hi

    There was no SNAT rule. I have now added one with following command:

    set advanced-firewall sys-traffic-nat add destination 192.168.131.0 snatip 192.168.123.1

    Result:

     NAT policy for system originated traffic
            ---------------------
            Destination Network     Destination Netmask     Interface       SNAT IP
            192.168.131.110         255.255.255.255                         192.168.123.1

    But it still does not work...

  • Hi  : Thanks for sharing the latest update, After SNAT try to check TCPDUMP on both the XG during access WAF on WAF Server IP to confirm and validate more and if required you may log a support case to investigate it further and to conclude it.
