NAT question for stretched external IP and different internal IP

L0 Member

The setup is 2 data centers with 2 sets of PANs (5060).  An AS is stretched between the 2 data centers /24 primary in each data center, so if one ISP fails /24 block will enter the other data center.  Normally for just internet failures internal IP is preserved.  When a data center outage occurs, internal IP are changed.  How do you configure NAT in the PANs to reflect a internal IP changes for DR situations?

 

Thanks

Use Dynamic IP and port with Address type 'Interface Address', (Inerface setting with correct interface selected) and IP address valuse set as none.

Tho if you have PI public address network just use PI address for NAT?

Not sure if I explained my situation correctly.

 

There are 2 data centers with 10G link between.  There is an external AS with /24 primary at each data center, when internet failure occurs, the /24 gets routed at other site.

 

A pair of PANs at each DC.  NAT takes place at each location for say 12.12.12.12 to internal IP 10.12.12.12, which is primarily at DC1.

 

During a complete DC 1 failure, server 10.12.12.12 moves over to DC 2 and has IP 10.112.112.112.  We would like to continue to use the 12.12.12.12 as it is now routed to DC2.

 

We want both NATs in the FW at DC 2 for an automated failover process.
