FWSM- Route based on nameif

[vinothnil]

Dear All,

Host A(10.10.10.10) is in inside network and it is behind the interface with nameif INSIDE. Host A wants to access the HOST B(20.20.20.20) which is behind the interface with nameif OUTSIDE. Can anyone help me how static route lookup will happen here.

Because I can see that static routes are configured with the name which we used in interface nameif command. Will it check only the routes belongs to INSIDE routes in our example to reach the Host B? if there is no route in the INSIDE statement, what will happen?

ex: route INSIDE 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.255 10.10.10.1 (Interface IP in FWSM)

Hi

This static route looks incorrect, if the IP 20.20.20.20 is a remote host (not connected to OUTSIDE interface) it should be

route OUTSIDE 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.255 <IP Address of the Next Hop> 

The IP address of the Next Hop represents the IP of remote device connected to your OUTSIDE interface. 

Hope it is useful
