Is it possible to have IPSec VPNs that split between 2 VDOMs like Cisco tunnels? I need to have many tunnels using a public interface in the 'root' VDOM, but routing/terminating in a different VDOM...
Solved! Go to Solution.
If I understand your question right. You are having 2 VDOM. The first one which is the root VDOM which is connected to the public Interface and the 2. one which is the VPN VDOM and that is connected to the 1. one via inter VDOM-link. Is this correct?
If so, you need a public IP on the inter VDOM-link of the 2. one. Alternate you can have this public IP one the 1. one as a VIP and forward the traffic to a private IP on the inter VDOM-link to the second VDOM.
