SRX5308 Multi-homing working strangely
Hello, I have an SRX5308 configured to be the gateway for our local network. DHCP is disabled on the Netgear firewall, and is taken care of by a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller instead. ...

Hi T-Support,
Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:
Would you kindly consider redesigning your existing network? If yes, then I would recommend using VLANs instead of Multi-homing. It is because enabling routing between VLANs is possible. Then, on the IPSec VPN setup, it will be necessary to add a VPN policy for the extra subnet as per this link.

Update: I followed your tutorial link on VPN policies, and now the VPN works over the second subnet. I did not realize I had to create the policy on both ends, duh! Thanks for that.

Hi T-Support,
I am glad that the VPN works over the 2nd subnet. :smileyhappy: Welcome!

Thank you for that. :smileyvery-happy:
But what about my earlier question? I asked to your first reply: What do you mean by "redesigning my exisiting network?"

Hi T-Support,
What I mean is consider implementing VLANs instead of setting up Multi-homing. Its because for me, I think that would be a smarter way.

I see. If I cannot reconfigure the network setup, is it possible to make this work with Multi-homing?
