GW Unable to Ping VIP

techman50 — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 20:26:26 GMT

Having a bit of a pickle at the moment.

I am unable to get my GW or any of the internal addresses to ping a VIP interface.

Can see the ping traffic from monitor but not getting any reply.

Would like to have some guidance on what to check please

TIA

Version/JHF of gateway?
What precise device is pinging the VIP?
In terms of troubleshooting, perhaps look at the debug command here: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk26874

I second what phoneboy gave you, makes sense. But also have alook at the zdebug and logs you get, it should help you.

Thanks for the link. However, have manage to sort the issue out. It was a manual NAT Rule that needed to be done.

Thank you

It might not work as you expect in all scenarios per sk102327.
