routing between firewalls

keith.osullivan — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 15:39:44 GMT

I have a couple of ASA's on the same network, one pointing to the internet and a second pointing to other networks. The problem i have is if i use the internet ASA as the default gateway i cannot communicate with the other networks through the second ASA. Is there something which stops routes being redirected out the same interface.

Many thanks in advance

Keith,

The ASA's will not act as routers, traffic destined for another IP subnet will not be routed out the same interface it was recevied.

You either need to installe a router, or change your topology.

the firewalls can run routing protocols, will that solve the problem until i am able to change my topology?

Many thanks
