Hello, I bought an SRX5308 for use with hosting Virtual Private Servers and hoped it would be able to do everything I needed, mainly because of the gigabit WAN-to-LAN throughput. The setup I require is like so:
I have a single gigabit WAN connection from my datacenter, which supplies me with all my IP public addresses that I am wanting to assign to the virtual servers behind the firewall. These IP addresses have multiple subnets and gateways, which is currently not possible on the SRX5308 with a single WAN port, however I have contacted support and am awaiting a solution to this.
The setup will be that each VPS has their own single IP on thier own VLAN, and is assigned a public IP address through the firewall for external access. Currently I have a single physical server that is connected to LAN1, which will have multiple virtual servers on it.
I have been able to accomplish my setup using the default VLAN 1 (192.168.2.x), so using secondary WAN 1 ip addresses as the external IP's for VLAN 1.
I then tried to setup a VLAN 2 as 192.168.3.x and have a CentOS VPS server setup with a static IP on this range:
I then try and ping an address using this VPS and i get nothing. It is as if the VLAN 2 is not working at all. Also, when I go to the "LAN Groups" view, I can only see the single server I have assigned on VLAN 1 (192.168.2.203), nothing for VLAN 2.
It is not the network configuration in the VPS, because if I change it to:
Thanks for the reply. I have decided to scrap using the SRX5308 as it cannot accommodate all that I need. I have chosen to use a dedicated CentOS server with multiple Gbit NICS along with iptables as my firewall, as this allows for greater flexibility.
