Maestro Madness
Hello
I have three CP appliances connected via 192.168.20.0/24 network with internet access via 192.168.20.1.
GW-Central:
WAN IP: 192.168.20.70
LAN IP: 10.94.0.100/24
GW-SiteA
WAN IP: 192.168.20.80
LAN IP: 10.0.80.1/24
GW-SiteB
WAN IP: 192.168.20.90
LAN IP: 10.0.80.1/24
I used this document as guide:
How to Set Up a Site-to-Site VPN with Check Point Gateways Managed by the same Management Server
So I have defined:
Local-LAN: 10.94.0.0/24 with NAT to 192.168.20.70
SiteA-LAN: 10.0.80.0/24 with NAT to 192.168.20.70
SiteB-LAN: 10.0.90.0/24 with NAT to 192.168.20.70
In gateway properties I've change VPN Domain to defined LAN network.
For GW-Central Local-LAN is selected
For GW-SiteA SiteA-LAN is selected
For GW-SiteB SiteB-LAN is selected
I have created VPN star Community, set GW-Central as Center Gateway, GW-SiteA and GW-SiteB as Satelitte Gateways
In VPN Routing I've selected "To center or through center to other satellites, to Internet and other VPN targets"
I've added Access Policy to allow traffic between Sites and Center GW and Sites to Internet
It works almost fine, so:
I have internet access from LAN in both Sites (via Central GW) - checked with traceroute
I have full network visibility between LANs (Site A to Site B, Site B to Central, Site A to central and so on)
I'm unable to synchronize clocks via NTP on Satellite appliances.
From CLI on satellite appliance, I'm unable to ping 8.8.8.8, 192.168.20.1. DNS resolution doesn't work.
However I'm able to ping Central and other Satellite LAN addresses.
In the same time, I can find log entry with dropped packet from SiteA/SiteB to 8.8.8.8 with "Security warning: received a cleartext packet within an encrypted connection.
What am I missing?
I've found solution.
This is the part I was missed
Hello again
One more problem appear. I'm unable to use Application Control Blade
"Update failed. Could not resolve 'secureupdates.checkpoint.com'. Check DNS and Proxy configuration on the gateway.
I'm not using proxy in my environment, and DNS is set to 8.8.8.8
I've found solution.
This is the part I was missed
Let me know if there's anything else that we can do to help.
