Solved: Re: How to Configure Multiple VLANs on a Firewall with a L3 Switch

Tom101 · ‎03-31-2022

Hi,

I have been struggling to configure a 5505 firewall with a on L3 3560 switch for a couple of days.

To make things easier, i have provided an attached screenshot with a packet tracer file.

The network design consists of an inside network with 3 VLANs. The inside network has a L3 switch that is connect to 3 separate PCs, all on different VLANs. This switch has been setup with interVLAN routing.

The switch is connected to a firewall with a trunk port, that is connected to an outside network. The firewall has three separate objects for each VLAN.

Below is the firewall configuration.

interface Vlan1
    nameif inside
    security-level 100
    no ip address
!
interface Vlan2
    nameif outside
    security-level 0
    ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
!
object network vlan-10
     subnet 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
     nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface
object network vlan-20
     subnet 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0
     nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface
object network vlan-30
    subnet 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0
    nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface
!
class-map inspection-default
 match default-inspection-traffic
!
policy-map global-policy
 class inspection-default
  inspect icmp 
!
service-policy global-policy global

Is anybody able to take a quick look at my network and let me know what i'm doing wrong? or kindly explain the steps i should be taking to configure this firewall so that the inside network can ping the outside network.

Take a look.

I had to change some things.

First create a L3 segment between switch L3 and firewall.

Added route on the firewall to inside pointing to 192.168.0.0 as well as to outside pointing to 20.20.20.0

Corrected the default gateway of the PC.

add one more ip address on firewall to talk with l3 switch.

change de default route on switch l3

That´s it. Pinging now.
