strange routing behaviour (sslvpn > site HQ > ipsec site Y)

Hi, having a strange issue on a basic setup...  

 

Basic setup

site HQ: Fortigate 100F R7.4.1.  Internal IP 192.168.17.252/24

site X: Fortigate 60F R7.4.1.  Internal IP 10.254.28.1/24

site Y,Z, ...: Fortigate 60F R7.4.1.  Other subnets (so, no overlaps)

 

site HQ

  • IPSEC tnl1_siteX exist (HQ WAN1 -> site X WAN1)
  • IPSEC tnl2_SiteX exist (HQ WAN2 -> site X WAN1)
  • same towards site Y, Z, ... --> tnl1_siteY + tnl2_siteY, tnl2_SiteZ, ...
  • static route pointing to 10.254.28.0 (site X) via tnl1 + tnl2 (same distance/priority).  Als tried with the route pointing to the SDWAN zone "RemoteSites" (which has all the tunnels towards other sites in it)
  • policy present from SSLVPN towards "RemoteSites" (= the SDWAN zone with the tunnels)
  • SDWAN rules present: from "all", towards 10.254.28.0/24 via tnl1_SiteX + tnl2_SiteY

site X

  • IPSEC tnl1_HQ exist 
  • IPSEC tnl2_HQ exist
  • static route towards 10.212.130.0/24 (= ssl of HQ) points to RemoteSites (= SDWAN zone with all the tunnels in it)
  • SDWAN rules exist towards HQ (from all, destination LAN of HQ + 10.212.130.0/24), via tnl1_HQ + tnl2_HQ (tnl1 = preferred)
  • policies exist (from RemoteSites towards LAN)

 

Behavior I see

  • VPN connection towards HQ.  Gives me IP 10.212.130.1 (= OK).  Route print of my laptop shows 10.254.28.0/24 exists (via VPN)
  • Ping from laptop towards 10.254.28.1 = ok (reply).  
  • SSH, HTTPS, ... towards 10.254.28.1 does not work.  
    • doing a diag debug on HQ -> shows the packet from 10.212.130.1 (vpn address) towards 10.254.28.1 is sent over the correct IPSEC tunnel
    • doing a diag debug on siteX -> shows the packet is received, but the return traffic is going to a wrong tunnel (tnl1_SiteY instead of tnl1_HQ)

Strange thing, I had this issue with 3 of 4 remote sites.  

I tried giving a different IP (or adding a secondary IP) to SiteY and for some IP's the problem is resolved (so https, ssh, ... work).  When reverting back to the original situation, so SiteY has only 1 IP (the original one), it kept working.  

 

So, in short...  Ping works.  SSH, https, ... do not. I see the packet is received at the correct site, but the return traffic is using the wrong tunnel.

 

Workaroud = the static route on SiteX, instead of pointing to the SDWAN zone I have to point to tnl1_HQ + tnl2_HQ 

 

I'm not really sur if this i a know issue in R7.4.1 (there are similar issues in the doc, ex bug id 961796 - they are related to an incorrect routing of the response packet).

 

 

Some relevant code & diag debug output.

ps. for this post, I changed the names to tnl1_HQ, tnl1_siteX, ... (in real life it's using a different name - I tried to replace the info in the code below) - if it's too confusing I'll change my post.

 

I checked the policies, routes, ... via GUI (visual + using the policy+route lookup buttons) + CLI.  They seem fine (this is a setup I'm using for multiple clients, so I know what has to be configured).

Hello

Is there any related policy route on siteX?

Also please share the following commands:

  • get sys settings | grep asymroute
  • get sys settings | grep auxiliary

For SiteX, the only policy routes are the SDWAN rules.  the output is below.

The relevant line is id=2131361796, with 10.212.130.0 - .255 as destination

Auxiliary-session is disabled (but tried with enabling it before)

ps. I realize all the outputs are maybe confusing due to other IPSEC tunnels (different naming, ...).  I'm going to make a similar setup in our lab environment so I can minimize the code...

Hello POMA,

 

>I'm not really sur if this i a know issue in R7.4.1 (there are similar issues in the doc, ex bug id 961796 - they are related to an incorrect routing of the response packet).

Most likely you are indeed matching the internal ticket you mentioned. The setup is very similar to other setups linked to that internal ticket and basically, the issue is related to the incorrect routing of response packet when activating HTTPS access on a SDWAN member interface.

The internal ticket is still under investigation and we can not share more information regarding it since it is internal information. 
Feel free to open a ticket in case you have a valid support contract for your devices. 

Thank you for sharing your issue and the workarounds you have found.
