ping fail from wan interfaces

hey all

 

first off, my english is not great, so if anything is confusing, please let me know

 

okay, i have remote sites under my control connected to my main site via multiple VPN tunnels, one for each physical WAN interface IP

 

in these remote sites, some have only have internet access via the main tunnel and some also have another ppoe connection on wan2 via some other local isp, some have sd-wan configured, but in all of them, for some reason, i can't ping from wan interfaces to outside

 

when i try, it either gives me :

 

remote-site1 # exe ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

 

or when directly specifying the interface:

 

remote-site1 # exe ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
sendto failed: 101(Network is unreachable)
sendto failed: 101(Network is unreachable)
sendto failed: 101(Network is unreachable)
sendto failed: 101(Network is unreachable)
sendto failed: 101(Network is unreachable)

 

no matter what interface or source ip i specify, it will not ping, but internet is working fine on every site

 

and as for the most obvious setting, yes i do have it enabled for every site/interface under allowaccess ping, and i also tried creating every kind of policy, but nothing changes

 

any ideas i could try? traceroute also doesn't work, also tried running diagnose but same thing, says unreachable

 

remote-site1 # diagnose sniffer packet any 'host 192.168.88.10 and icmp' 4 0 l
interfaces=[any]
filters=[host 192.168.88.10 and icmp]

Hi Mac

This is usually seen when WAN IP has more than 1 IP address. In that case this can be fixed by selecting the source IP address. And FGT services can be set with local out routing.
