Re: [FW-1] Site to Site VPN Question



You are correct so far as I know-- if you do a hide NAT for all your
internal nets and use that within your encryption domain, that should do the
trick.  If the traffic is getting out bearing 172.16.x.x source addresses,
then this boils down to how the NAT is being handled at your end rather than
this being a network addressing problem.

On FW-1 4.x this was weird but straightforward.  NAT was done last, so your
encryption rule for outbound traffic specified the 'real' internal address,
and you would couple this with a NAT rule that hid everything.  The rule did
its job first, the NAT did its job next, packet hits the other side with a
translated source address.

On NG I'm not sure how NAT gets done, although I gather it has changed as
well as being configurable.  I'm also not sure how automatic rules get
applied by default in this scenario.  But I *am* certain that if your NAT
gets applied before the security policy rule, and the rule itself is based
on how the packet looks pre-NAT, then it obviously won't work.

This just begs for a sniffer, or at least a really close look at the logs...
What do your logs tell you?  Anything?

I don't really remember if it had the source address or the hide NAT
address, I will try to setup the test again tomorrow.  The VPN is me
----> him (one way) and it is my internal networks (encryption domain)
that is a conflict on his side. From articles I have found it sounds like I
should be able to do a hide NAT for all my internal networks and he use that
as my encryption domain fine.

Thanks for the help, I will keep trying.

Hmmm.  Let me ask you this.  With the test net that you set up
(successfully), what did the traffic look like that was coming out of your
firewall?  More specifically, when your vendor receives a ping (or
whatever)
through that VPN from your side, does the packet bear a source address of
172.16.x.x or does it bear your hide NAT address?

If the latter, then I'm lost as to why this doesn't work when you shift back
to your production net.  If the former, your automatic NAT isn't doing squat
with respect to the VPN traffic, and may in fact be the very source of your
problem.

BTW guys, feel free to jump in anytime :)

I'm looking at a one way VPN with all traffic being generated from me. So in
my current setup I have all my internal networks Hide NAT to an
IP(public)that is different than checkpoint external nic's ip. This
IP(NAT) would than be considered my encryption domain with my vendor instead
of my internal network ip scheme being used(the one in conflict with another
client of the vendors)?????

On my fw in the global properties for NAT I have checked: Automatic rules
intersection Automatic ARP configuration

Not checked:
Perform destination translation on the client side

So would I have to still add manual NAT rules since the automatic option is
chosen????


Example of my IP's
My external interface FW: 206.289.2.20
Hide NAT for internal network: 206.289.2.25
My internal network: 172.16.x.x  (Vendor has another client configured for
this encryption domain)

Vendor's IP's
Network I will be connecting to: 197.188.64.x
FW external IP: 165.69.54.88

Thanks for the help
Kevin

You shouldn't have to renumber your network or anything that drastic.  I
have a client who has this situation occur frequently; in such cases, we use
NAT rules on the Checkpoint to translate our internal addresses to something
else when talking to the hosts on the other side.  You should be able to set
up something similar.

Basically, in the addressing policy, we're talking about a rule that looks
something like the following if the access you need is strictly him -->
you:

Rule 1:

Original Packet:
His IP or net (src) --> Fake host IP for your internal box that doesn't
conflict w/his net (dest) --> Any (svc)

Translated Packet:
Original (src) --> Actual IP of your internal host (dest) --> Any (svc)

Rule 2:
Original Packet:
Actual IP of your internal host (src) -->  His IP or net (dest) --> Any
(svc)

Translated Packet:
Fake host IP for your internal box that doesn't conflict w/his net -->
Original (dest) --> Any (svc)

You should have one pair of NAT rules for any internal host that your vendor
needs to touch.

Hope this helps.

I need to set up a VPN site to site with a vendor. I gave the vendor my
encryption domain and he said he already had that IP scheme used by a
different client.

I setup a test network with an IP scheme he didn't have being used by anyone
else and we can get everything to work great.  The problem is I need to be
able to set it up using the IP scheme used through out or company. Any
ideas?????

I am running checkpoint NG FP1
I have all my internal networks configured for hide NAT behind an IP
different than the external IP of the firewall.
