I am studying NAT configuration and have setup two routers for in/out NAT and redundancy. I want to setup the LAB likes this, if the R1(2509) wan link goes down, the floating route come up and the traffic are route through R2 (3700).
But I have a problem on R1 when the wan link is DOWN. The traffic does’t routes to R2 even the correct route shown in the routing table.
When I ping the remote host (192.168.80.3), R1 just simply reply the icmp directly (it acts as the remote host), but the traffic does’t transmitted to the target host…
If I replaced the R1 with a Cisco 3700 then the fail over working well….
If I removed the “ip nat outside source” statement and access the remote host directly (192.168.60.1), the fail over working too. .
Anyone tell me why the configuration does't work on the 2509 ?
R1 – 2509 12.1(27a)
R2 – 3700 12.3(15)
Here is the configuration of the R1.
