I guess that LAN_2 is not an official IP network or is it?

Because this configuration as you describe it is possible. LAN_2 should be
accessed by a different IP address than the firewall itself.

If you are more specific with addresses, I should be able to help you
further.

Subject: [FW-1] VPN domain and non-encrypted traffic


Hi all,


I have a module and mgmt on the same machine running splat NG-AI R55.
The vpn domain for this gateway is defined as LAN_1 and LAN_2, which are
separate networks behind this firewall.

A VPN exists between this firewall and another firewall, call it FW_X
protecting LAN_X (I don't have access to the firewall, since it belongs
to someone else). People in LAN_X can access parts of LAN_1 on my
network via the encrypted VPN as expected - I have a rule on my firewall
like this:

SRC: LAN_X
DST: LAN_1
SVC: any
VIA: COMMUNITY_X
Action: Accept


The Problem:

On LAN_2 there are some public services, which I would like LAN_X and
all the rest of the world to access unencrypted.  For this I have a rule
like this (which is after the rule above in my policy):

SRC: ANY
DST: LAN_2
SVC: smtp, http, ftp
VIA: ANY
Action: Accept

All the world can access services on LAN_2, but LAN_X cannot, and the
firewall is complaining about:
 'encryption failure: Received a cleartext packet within an encrypted
connection'


What is the expected behaviour of FW1 - Is it possible to have traffic
from LAN_X to LAN_2 to go through un-encrypted ?

I would have expected this to be possible but on my setup it is not
working, so I would like to know if I should be doing further
troubleshooting of my config, or else if this is a limitation that
cannot be overcome, then I should not need any further troubleshooting.

Removing LAN_2 from my VPN domain allows the traffic to flow
unencrypted, but this is not a good solution since it breaks other
things for me.



Thanks to all


Mark
