Routing between 2 networks connected via stub network not working as expected
By ChrisBint on July 29, 2022
I am trying to work my way through an issue I am having with connecting 2 networks (datacentres) together via a private link. I have configured a stub network at both ends and this seems to work as expected, I can ping the remote end by both the stub IP and the switch IP, this shows me the link is up. What I can also do, is ping the default gateway on the remote side from the switch. What I cannot do, is ping anything else.
On the remote switch, I have the following routes defined;
and on the remote gateway;
What I am able to do;
Ping 172.31.255.2 from switch1/site1
ping 192.168.210.5 (switch2/site2) from switch1/site1
ping 192.168.210.1 (asa2/site2) from switch1/site1
ICMP echo request from 172.31.255.1 to 192.168.210.1 ID=608 seq=2
len=0
ICMP echo reply from 192.168.210.1 to 172.31.255.1 ID=608 seq=2 len=0
ping 172.31.255.1 (switch1/site1) from asa2/site2
ping 192.168.210.5 (switch2/site2) from asa2/site2
What I can't do;
ping 192.168.210.6 (a device/site2) from switch1/site1.
It does not appear to be hitting the ASA. When I ping 192.168.210.1 from switch1/site1, I can see this in the icmp debug
ICMP echo request from 172.31.255.1 to 192.168.210.1 ID=608 seq=2 len=0
ICMP echo reply from 192.168.210.1 to 172.31.255.1 ID=608 seq=2 len=0
I do not get anything in the icmp debug when I try to ping 192.168.210.7 which to me means it's not going to the default gateway and staying on the switch?
Ultimately, I am trying to connect both sites up, but working my way through issues as I go and this is the first.
Any suggestions?
