IPSEC VPN Issue with the SRX5308
Hi guys, We are trying to use the NetGear SRX5308 as a VPN solution to connect to our server network. We have SSL VPN working but are having trouble with IPSEC. I should note that the NetGear ...
You are reading it right. The idea was that even in case the sonicwall goes down we could still have access to the server network through VPN.
But if this is not going to work we could add another LAN (different subnet) to the sonic walls configuration and use that to enter the network.
So, for example
L1 - 10.10.0.0/16 - our server network
L2 - 10.21.1.0/24 - network between sonicwall & SRX5308
L3 - 10.21.2.0/24 - client VPN subnet
The thing is, in the sonic wall config the vpn range L3 must be INSIDE L2 (otherwise it drops the packets) and on the netgear it must be OUTSIDE. But I guess this this can work out with an assymetric configuration.
We will also need a static route for L1 on the netgear and I'm not sure this is going to work in combination with IPSEC. Will it?
