How SNAT through existing IPSec tunnel - routing problem

Hello anyone,

I have the following problem:

I have a site-to-site IPSec VPN up and running between our SG120 and a customers Cisco ASR Router. However I am not able to get my traffic through the tunnel.

The problem is - as I assume - that I was given an IP address from the customer that I should use as the source IP within the tunnel. This IP is from a public range (66.x.x.x). Now this IP is specified at my side as the local network for my IPSec definition. Otherwise the tunnel will not come up.

When I try to ping any IP on the remote side I don't receive a reply. Also the guy from the "other side" doesn't see any requests from my network through the tunnel. That is no wonder as a traceroute is going out to the internet.

How am I supposed to configure my UTM to send traffic for the destination through the tunnel with the given IP as source address?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

  • it is a really bad idea to use a public ip adress for that.

    i think you need to change that first before you can go into troubleshooting.

  • Thanks for you reply but:

    "... this is public IP address but it is not routed on Internet. All our VPN partners are provided NAT IP address in this range..."

    So if this is a problem I assume it is not a general one but one with Sophos UTM.

  • then you have a routing / firewall rule  issue

    check your mentioned kb article again.. it should also work with public adress if you configure it proper on both sides.

    i use snat for some ipsec tunnels also (cause customer uses same lan adress) so i cant think its a utm problem

     

    if you want more specific help we need more specific details form your config.. screenshots form ipsec-tunnel config / nat-config / firewall-rules will help us..
