Spoofed packet

solid_978
Level 1
Level 1

We have a server was having connection issue, from further analysis I discovered that our firewall getting dropped due spoofed packet,
in my opinion it is a false positive, my topology L2 is following:

S1-->S2-->Nexus-->Firewall

then firewall come back on nexus and nexus route toward different interface where is the final destination. S1 has a default route with next hop layer 3 of firewall

S1 and Firewall has common broadcast interface Layer 3

Perhaps Firewall detects two net coming from same mac (in imput and output with same mac: the nexus MAC) and apply rule about spoofed

Am I correct?
However if I disable spoofed rule into FW every packet flows in right way.

Any advice?

Does all the internal traffic enter just one interface on the firewall?  Does the firewall have a Portchannel to anything?

Are there more than one L3 routed path between some devices so that asymmetric routing could be happening?

Hi Philip,

yep previously there was asymmetric routing and then I try to fix with static /32, at the moment I have just /32 route vs firewall, as side firewall has two /32 route too, one for LAN pointing layer 3 next hop of S1 (source) and other one face common layer 3 between nexus and firewall,the interface are 2 normal interface but I have still spoofed packet

Does someone have any advice for fix this situation?
