Palo alto static routing issue

L4 Transporter

Hi,

 

We are configuring a new routing scenario but we are expecting problem taking the correct route.

 

This is our static route table:

 

destination     interface       gateway        metric 

10.50.1.0/24    eth1/1     10.50.250.1      1

10.50.2.0/24      eth1/1     10.50.250.1    1

10.0.0.0/8      eth1/5       10.50.50.4       10

 

If we run a "test routing fib.....", we can see all traffic going to 10.0.0.0/8 route. Although we have two /24 routes.

 

If we run a session to ip 10.50.2.10 (second route). The firewall is sending the traffic to gateway 10.50.50.4. Why???

We have two routes more restrictive and with more metric in order to take preference but its not working.

 

I undertand that the static routers election is:

1) Metric (less metric. more preference)

2) Restrictive route. Mask /8 is less preference than /24.

 

Why FW is taking the route /8??? We have had to create PBR in order to solve it.

Hi,

 

This is routing table:

 

flags: A:active, ?:loose, C:connect, H:host, S:static, ~:internal, R:rip, O:ospf, B:bgp,
       Oi:ospf intra-area, Oo:ospf inter-area, O1:ospf ext-type-1, O2:ospf ext-type-2

Is this a dump of show routing fib ?  It looks a bit different on my 8.x device?    Any chance you have policy based routing configured?

PanOS version is 6.1.x.

The previous command was "show routing route"

 

The issue was solved configuring PBR in orfer to force the correct interface. That was done because routes werent working (even with more metric and restrict mask).

Hello,

The PAN has two routing tables, one for the routes and another for forwarding. The forwarding will be the one that the PAN uses to send the packets. As @mlinsemier pointed out, check out the FIB table as well.
