2 way communication between 2 subnets 2 interfaces

Tue May 01, 2018 9:50 pm

Hi,

I need communication between 192.168.20.0 subnet and 192.168.0.0 subnet both ways. With the configuration i have now 192.168.20.0 can talk to 192.168.0.0 but not the other way around. Please let me know what need to be done. thanks.

I have an RB750Gr3.

I have default config loaded on this router and i just change 192.168.88.0 to 192.168.20.0 and as below.

ether1 internet coming in via PPPoE
ether2 master for 3,4 192.168.20.0/24 DHCP enabled on here.
ether5 192.168.0.223 (no dhcp, this port is connected to sonicwall router which has 192.168.0.1/24

First thing I would state is scrap your work and reset to latest software version 6.42.1
and then repost. But I do have the following comments.

add address=192.168.0.223/24 comment="ament" interface=ether5 network=\
192.168.0.0

Thats a weird setup? Why not....?
add address=192.168.0.1/24 comment="ament" interface=ether5 network=\
192.168.0.0

You are missing the IP Pool for your second LAN.
You are missing the DHCP server for your second LAN
You are missing the IP dns static rule for your second LAN

Would add this to the bottom of my INPUT Filter rules (its default rule that should be in place with latest software I think).
add action=drop chain=input comment="defconf: drop invalid" connection-state=\
invalid

Remove all your masquerade rules and the single srcnat rule except the first masquerade rule.

(in the new firmware I would put both LANs on the same bridge).

Hmm I missed the part about ether5 attached to a sonicwall.
My bad.
Still you should update your software.

What is the function of the sonicwall?
Is it in router mode and getting internet via the MIkrotik??

Assuming the above, clients on the sonicwall may be able to see the mickrotik LAN clients but
the sonicwall is a one way door in router mode, it blocks any view onto its LAN by mikrotik users.

Thus I think you are mistaken, the mickrotik 192.168.20.X devices will not be able to see the 192.168.0.x devices.
There is no way to break that barrier unless you frig with the sonicwall setup.

The sonicwall was is in router mode. I cannot mess with that one.

The sonicwall has its own internet source.
The mikrotic has its own internet source.
But the 2 networks need to talk to each other.

The way its setup now the mikrotik port5 is plugged into lan port on sonicwall.

Currently all mikrotik users can access everything on sonicwall side.
sonicwall users can access nothing on mikrotik side.

I am not mistaken about the access. .
Thanks.

Hi there,
Okay thanks for the additional info.
That means the sonicwall has been setup on its side with rules such that it can accept incoming from the mikrotik port (LAN traffic) and work with it.
Now the challenge is to do the same with the mikrotik.

So I see what you are trying to do now.
Create the same network infrastructure such that the interface/etherport has a fixed IP address as the SONICWALL LAN.

So you were attempting to ensure every lan device on the mikrotik would get its IP address changed to that of the SONICWALL LANIP assigned to ether5.
Thus be magically useable in the sonicwall.
However that means that traffic originating from the sonicwall will only be able to see and talk to the single ether5 IP and never get to the mikrotik devices...........

I see your problem and perhaps there is another way to solve this.........

2 LANS, 2 DIfferent Routers, 2 Different Subnets (connected by each others etherports).
Hmmmm, something tells me maybe routes is the key (static maybe?) Have to think on this one.

Sonicwall is a firewall device, not a router although it does have limited routing capabilities.

I suspect your problem is on the sonicwall side, either firewall rules or routing, but without the necessary info from both devices, makes it difficult to help

For starters:

1. IP / Network Diagram
2. Full firewall (Filter / NAT / RAW) and route info from Mikrotik
3. Full routing, NATing and firewall rules of Sonicwall (You will have to do this via command line interface (CLI))

I doubt if the people responsible for the Sonicwall will give you this, actually I would hope not as it is a security device, so rather work with them and explain the problem, together you will be able resolve it

Re: 2 way communication between 2 subnets 2 interfaces

Fri May 04, 2018 6:07 am

thanks for the replys.

Solved.
Should anyone come across this in future this is how i got it to work. Not perfect but it works.

I made no changes to sonicwall because i did not really know what to change on there to allow sonicwall devices to see devices on mikrotik network.
So i just went to server network adapter and added 192.168.20.95 as an additional ip. and server can now see everything on mikrotik network and mikrotik devcies could already see everything on sonicwall and this now allows everything i needed.

The only reason i say not perfect is because i would have like to have done this without adding the addition ip to the server and but instead having the routers do the negotiating.

The reason why your solution to the problem works is because you have both L3 (IP) subnets sharing same L2 (ethernet) network. Shoukd this change it will stop working.
Proper solution (apart from changing configuration on sonicwall) would be to add route on the said server (instead of adding IP address) saying that 192.168.20.0/24 is reacheable through gateway with address 192.168.0.223.

Could you tell me how to do this:
"add route on the said server (instead of adding IP address) saying that 192.168.20.0/24 is reacheable through gateway with address 192.168.0.223."

Also is it possible to have a bridge with port 2 - 5 and have dhcp on that bridge but exclude port 5 from receiving dhcp?

Exact command to add a route highly depends on server's OS. I'm pretty sure you didn't mention it in this thread.

On linux command looks like this:
route add -net 192.168.20.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.233
But then, on linux, this solution works until server restart. Permanent change is done in server configuration, and that even more highly depends on OS and its variety.

Answer to your second question is: no, it can't be done. Not easily at least, perhaps it's possible by deploying some nasty layer2 filtering but I don't know if MT has such mechanisms.

Thank you to all that replied. im learning so much about networking and about mikrotik!

What ended up working perfectly for me was creating a route on the sonicwall to the 192.168.0.223 port which is on the mikrotik.
