accessing the external ip of hosts within the same vlan

[rathinilesh]

Hi All,

We have a requirement where-in hosts within the same vlan need to access each other on their public addresses. Can this be achieved using the ACE or the FWSM or any other Cisco device? Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Hello Nilesh,

If the servers are layer 2 adjacent behind the ACE, you can source NAT the server to server traffic to the public IP's assuming you have an extra IP on the same segement that the ACE would be configured to source nat the connections to.

Thanks.
