Dropped packages and Firewall violations even though Allow All rule

Hey everyone,

we have an SG 105 on the main branch, network is 192.168.42.x and a RED 15 on a subsidiary branch which is 192.168.9.x

The RED serves fine DHCP on 192.168.9.128 until 254.

Being on the remote subsidiary, I am able to for example ping 192.168.42.65 and 192.168.42.1, I also am able to log in to the main SG 105. Tracert is nicely routed via the RED host.

We now try to get to our telecommunications device which is on 192.168.42.20 but no connection is possible. It is exactly the same way connected as .65 or .1 as mentioned above.

Is it possible that there are additional FW restrictions active? Why? I have an allow from all to all (Hummelbühl 9 is the RED NW):

 

but for example the following log entries:

Why is that? What can I do further?

  • Hi Bob,

    there is absolutely nothing to find in the Firewall logs regarding the .42.20! Mabye it's worth to mention that in the log, I only can find PACKAGE DROPs.

    I just made a tracert from the RED location (.9.x) in question to show the problem:

    So, maybe the thread title is a bit misleading: I am currently not sure whether it's an actual DROP or whatever. Seems the routing doesn't work as intended?

  • Oh boy, I've solved it: the device in question 192.168.42.20 had an incorrect subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. Setting it to /24 (255.255.255.0) did it...

    I was mislead by the fact that it worked fine in the internal network while it didn't via the routed one...

    Thanks for your support guys, I've learned a lot already!

    have a nice evening!
