Unable to ping Checkpoint Gateway ip from gns3 router

Hello,

 

Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

I am new to checkpoint and have started learning. I am trying to set up lab for this in Vmware. I am almost done. The problem is i am unable to ping Checkpoint Gateway IP from Gns3 router or vice versa. Both share the same Vmnet adapter(subnet). I can see the logs but unable to ping. Tried many things but no luck

 

Please help

However I am able to ping Checkpoint gateway from Checkpoint Manager.

Does the router in gns3 have a route configured for the 192.168.197 subnet?

Hello PhoneBoy,

Thanks for replying, yes default route is present in gns3 router. Although it is directly connected network, it should ping even if there is no route.

Could you show what you have configured in Network Management settings of the gateway and what are the general settings of both interfaces from SmartConsole?

Thanks.

The endpoints need to know how to route traffic to each other.
What is the precise routing table on:

1. Your management VM (the one at 192.168.0.10)--get that with the command route print. There needs to be a route for 192.168.197.0.24 in there somewhere.
2. Your gns3 router--refer to the appropriate documentation. There needs to be a route in there for 192.168.0.0/24.

If either end is missing the correct route, then you will not be able to ping.

Even though gns3 router has default route towards gateway, it cannot ping directly connected network (192.168.197.x/24). I have posted all snaps. I have also allowed policy from router to gateway on smartconsole. Not sure whats missing.. 😥😔

 

Thanks.

If you do a tcpdump on the gateway interface facing the gns3, what do you see?

Is the IP address of the GNS3 router 192.168.197.52 or 192.168.197.152?  Your diagram says .52 but your rule allowing ICMP says .152.  Assuming that is not the problem, from GNS3 try to ping the firewall at .151, then immediately display the ARP cache on the GNS3 router.  Is the GNS3 router able to successfully map a MAC address to the firewall's IP address .151?  If yes the firewall is blocking it (probably due to the typo in your rulebase, but you can run fw ctl zdebug drop on the firewall and try the ping again to see why it is being dropped otherwise).  If no MAC address is shown with the firewall's IP address on the GNS3 router, you have a connectivity problem (or an IP configuration problem) between the GNS3 router and the firewall in VMWare.

Hi Timothy Hall,

Gns3 router has 192.168.197.152 ip address configured. By mistake its .52 in diagram. Please find below output

Ping from Gns3 router to gateway ip. The yellow colour highlighted logs is when i tried pinging from gateway to router interface IP. I tried disabling my windows firewall, but no luck. whats shall i do to make this work.

Hi Nick,

do you have this behaviour just wih icmp or also with ssh?
Taking a look to "debug arp" provided, it's seem R1 get an arp reply from the gateway at 05:03:46.371, after several failed attempts...

Can you check if this entry is then kept in R1 arp table?
What about gateway prospective? Can you check if it's aware of arp entry for R1 G10 intf ip, and from your computer?

arp -a

Check please the network driver configured in .vmx file (for each vm). The relevant row starts with:

ethernet0.xxxxx
ethernet1.xxxxx

and the driver used on the gateway via ethtool -i eth1

As previusly suggest,could be usefull perform a tcpdump -i any -e on the gateway before the ping to see if all the arp requests are seen

Hi,

what happens if you run cpstop?
Would be interesting to see if the issue persists when no policy/fw kernel is in the way.
