network to network connection with iSession over the Internet

We want to achieve a L2L connection over the Internet, with iSession: encryption, compression. And no NAT (similar like a L2L IPSec tunnel)

We have 2 LAB VE LTMs (11.4.1, LTM and AAM provisioned), the WAN is only simulated with a VLAN: LAN1 (10.31.5.0/24)---(10.31.5.246) LTM1 (1.1.1.1)---WAN---(1.1.1.2) LTM2 (10.31.29.246)---LAN2 (10.31.29.0/24)

LTM1 has an interface in LAN1, which is 10.31.5.246 LTM1 has an interface in WAN, which is 1.1.1.1 LTM2 has an interface in LAN2, which is 10.31.29.246 LTM2 has an interface in WAN, which is 1.1.1.2

We successfully created the iSession between the devices, and advertised the networks through the iSession. Please check below there is the output from LTM1.

Diagnostics: Acceleration ›› Symmetric Optimization : Diagnostics : Diagnose WOM Configuration also shows everything is OK.

There is NO route added to the device (we believe iSessions should handle routing through iSession advertised routes): Plus we can successfully ping LAN2 from LTM1 and LAN1 from LTM2 without additional routes.

On the LAN1|2 servers we added routes, routing the other LAN to the LTM device self IP.

We have created iSession virtual with wizard: Acceleration ›› Quick Start : Symmetric Properties

We have created name: iSession-TEST, which is forwarding(IP) virtual servers, all sources, destination 0.0.0.0/0, all VLAN, all ports, all protocols

So again, iSession is UP traffic is OK when initiating from LTM. But when initiating from the LANs, it is not working. We receive: Reply from 10.31.5.246: Destination net unreachable. in the LTM tcpdump 10:34:30.864869 IP 10.31.5.21 > 10.31.29.21: ICMP echo request, id 1, seq 16887, length 40 in slot1/tmm1 lis=/Common/iSession-TEST

We see the request hitting the LTM, but not transferred through the iSession.

Please advise!

  • Addition to the above: PING was NOT using the iSession, it was using the management port. So learned routes never worked, iSession never worked.

     

    If we static routing, access works, but not through the iSession.
