Brendan,

You have to use a IP-Pool for your NAT'ed network (for example
10.61.17.0/27) which is not included in the IP-ranges from your FW
interfaces!

Friendly regards,

Subject: [FW-1] SecurePlatform AI + IP Pool NAT


Hi there, wondering if anyone has seen this.

SecurePlatform AI trying to do IP Pool NAT.

FireWall has 3 interfaces

Eth0 = external = 203.4.5.6/28
Eth1 = internal = 192.168.2.254/24
Ethh2 = dmz = 10.61.15.1/27

IP Pool NAT network is 10.61.15.0/27

Now of the 10.61.15.0/27 network is a frame connection to say
10.61.16.0/24, the route to 10.61.16.0 network is access via a cisco
router (unknown IOS) @ 10.61.15.14 which then routes down to the
10.61.16.0/24 network.

Now if I SecuRemote in I am able to make connections to 192.168.2.0/24
and I can see the source being say my pool NAT address 10.61.15.4 or
something - works like a dream.

BUT if I attempt to make a connection through the vpn to say 10.61.16.8
(a machine running there) I can see the router @ 10.61.15.14
consistantly trying to arp for the IP Pool NAT address, and obviously it
is unable to resolve the MAC.

Now if I ssh into the SP box and attempt a connection from the firewall,
it connects to 10.61.16.8 fine, I can tcpdump the dmz interface and see
the router @ 10.61.15.14 arp for the firewalls physical IP of
10.61.15.1, it sees it fine and the packets go through fine.

But the IP NAT pool, on the same interface does not.

I have tried adding arp -s 10.61.15.2 etc etc with the MAC of the
firewalls 10.61.15.1 interface, but that does not seem to help, the
router is still arping for the pool address and can not find it.

My only solution I can think of is

A) add static arp entries into the cisco router for each pool address?
B) this is somekind of bug in SecurePlatform? Anyone seen anything like
this before.

If anyone has any ideas, or has come across this kind of thing before I
would love to know about it.

Cheers,
Brendan
