Layer 3 Sub-Interface Question

L1 Bithead

All,

  I have recently set up a test lab with a PA440. In the lab I have created a WAN and LAN zone from two different physical interfaces.

  In addition, I have created a sub-Interface from the physical ethernet port 1/3. This is what the ethernet port 1/3 looks like:

 

  Ethernet 1/3 (Physical Port)

      - Sub-Interface Eth1/3.25 ~ L3 (IP = 10.10.25.1/24)

      - Sub-Interface Eth1/3.35 ~ L3 (IP = 10.10.35.1/24)

      - Sub-Interface Eth1/3.55 ~ L3 (IP = 10.10.55.1/24)

 

Each Sub_interface has its own zone and mgmt profile with the service to ping. Each interface has a tag of its interface number. 

I have taken a laptop and assigned it to Ip address: {10.10.25.55/24 with gateway 10.10.25.1} and connected directly to Port1/3.

I have another latop on another port that does not have an sub-interface, just the physcial (Eth1/6) port with IP = 12.12.12.124.

 

My issue is that I can ping my gateway (12.12.12.1) on my laptop (12.12.12.12) from a Physcial interface (Eth1/6). From the same laptop I can ping all the IP's gateways from each sub-interface {10.10.25.1, 10.10.35.1, 10.10.55.1} but I cannot reach any device behind those IP's. I have no switch, just testing connection from one laptop to another each, directly connected to its ports. The laptop that is connected to the eth1/3 port cannot ping any none of its own sub-Interface IP's nor the eth1/6 IP address.  

 

 Not sure what I am missing?

Hello,

Check the unified logs to see if/where the traffic is getting blocked. Since you have the different IP's in different zones, you'll need security policies. I prefer to make my physical interfaces layer 2 and have a layer 3 vlan. This can be tricky for external interfaces however.

 

Regards,
