Multi homed network not going through ipsec vpn

I have a srx-5308 VPN firewall with an lan network 10.10.10.0/24.  To IPsec VPN to another site I need to either re-ip the entire network or use a new network such as a multi home network to 10.100.10.0/24.  The reason is the second office already has a vpn to a network that is the same IP scheme as mine.

 

I have added a multi home network 10.100.10.0/24 and computers with this IP scheme can connect to the internet.   The VPN is working from the remote site to a computer with this IP scheme.   However the traffic from my network on the multi home 10.100.10.0/24 network does not seem to go through the VPN.

 

Is there any way to send a multi homed network though a IPSec VPN connection?  Thanks,  Mark

  • And another strange piece of data, the remote site can ping my 10.100.10.0/24 compter over the VPN but I cannot ping there the remote site.

      Problem solved.  I made the main network 10.100.10.0/24 and the multi home network 10.10.10.0/24.    Both networks can get on the internet and the IPsec VPN works over the main network.   Thanks to me for figuring this out as no one commented on this post.

  • Glad you figured it out.  I was going to say that the easiest way would have been to just change the home network, but sometimes that's not the easiest way for other reasons.
