route problem?

suthomas1

Hi,

I have attached a rough network diagram of our scenario.

Existing:-

A 3750 is connected to an unmanaged switch. to this unmanaged switch, there is a 3845 router and a

netscreen firewall connected. The 3750 is doing eigrp as is the 3845.

3750 has servers connected to it.(10.96.0.91/10.96.0.95)

There is a second unmanaged switch, to which the Netscreen firewall and Internet modem is connected.

The netscreen is connected to both the unmanaged switch.

There is an ASA firewall , which connects to the second unmanaged switch so it links to the ISP modem.

Planned change( highlighted in red):-

Aim is to remove the Netscreen firewall and insert another juniper firewall as second firewall to the existing ASA.

Juniper srx lan portion connects to the First unmanaged switch ( shown with red line ) and the lan port of juniper

srx will be assigned ip in the same range as 10.96.0.50.

Routing:-

Servers connected to 3750 need to go out to some internet located destinations bearing ip 200.200.1.1.

3750 routes all traffic destined for above and few other internet ip's to the 3845 router.

From the 3845 , these internet destinations are routed towards the netscreen firewall which then goes out via

the ISP modem

Routing for change:-

insert routes in 3845 router for 200.200.1.1 pointing next hop as 10.96.0.50(Juniper srx firewall) and

remove old routes pointing towards netscreen firewall.

In the ASA appropriate nat rules are added for the sessions. Route on the ASA and Juniper srx is changed to

reflect the new path accordingly.

Problem:-

Even after changing the route on 3845, the server still goes out from the old path, i.e  the netscreen firewall.

If netscreen is disconnected, the server doesn't communicate.

We've tested with a server connected directly behind the Juniper srx firewall and it successfully communicates to

the internet ip 200.200.1.1 when the SRX is connected to the ASA, hence proving there is no problem between

that path.

Query:-

1. Do we need to clear any arp on any devices? Considering , interconnections are via unmanaged switches?

2. What could be wrong here and how should it be made working. Any other ideas?

Appreciate all inputs.Thanks in advance!

thanks again. So , i should remove the redistribution and test?

No there is no need for it.

Ok. In that case, can i please take the liberty to ask once again, what exactly should be done to test this out so the traffic flows to the new firewall after changing the routes on 3845.

First try to change static ip routes on 3845 pointing toward Juniper.

To verify routing table on 3845:

show ip route

Then try a traceroute from 3845 if it's goes through Juniper. And ensure that there is no static routes on servers by checking with command, I suppose they Windows machines.

route print

Then if it is still not working check static routes on Juniper.

Thanks.

I'll check this again when we run the tests. However , we have tested part of this.

After changing static routes on 3845 to point to juniper, Trace from 3845, shows that the packet doesnt reach juniper, it still goes to the netscreen. Upon disconnecting the netscreen totally, the packets drop.

When the juniper is connected to the network, i can ping it from 3845 router and see the arp entries forming on either devices.

Hi,

From what you are saying on 3845 there possibly might be a PBR that routes traffic to Netscreen even with route pointing to Juniper.

Can you show run output of interface that has an IP 10.96.0.13 from 3845

sh run interface Gigabit X/Y

sh route-map

Hope it will help.

Thanks again!

Hi,

By looking at your outputs on 3845 looks like PBR is not configured. But if Netscreen's IP is 10.96.0.50 there is one issue

On 10.96.0.91 server:

Active Routes:

Network Destination        Netmask          Gateway       Interface  Metric

          0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0       10.96.0.13       10.96.0.91     10

          200.200.1.1  255.255.255.255        10.96.0.50       10.96.0.91      1

As you can see a route to 200.200.1.1 is hardcoded on one of the server.

And here you can run simple test from second server 10.96.0.95 because it doesn't has this route:

ping 200.200.1.1

tracert 200.200.1.1

But Juniper should be running and routes need to be pointed to it with correct IP.

Hope it will help.

Best regards,
Abzal

Ok, so it means the route needs to be changed on server.

If you're going to replace Netscreen it will be good to remove that route.

And to make sure test with second server with IP 10.96.0.95.

Hope it will help.
