I'm trying to use the static routes in an RV042 in conjunction with a VPN on the same device.
Here is an example:
An RV042 terminating a single VPN tunnel. The firewall rules allow all LAN traffic - as usual. I want to route packets destined for a "foreign" subnet to a particular gateway on the local LAN subnet (192.168.109.0) like this:
route 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.109.254 metric 1
where the LAN side of the RV042 with this routing rule is 192.168.109.198.
To test this route, I do a tracert from another client on the LAN using an added route on that client to first direct the packets to the RV042 .198 as follows:
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.109.198 metric 1 tracert 192.168.1.4
I would expect to see a "bounce" from .254 after the RV042 routes the packets there. I do see a response from the RV042 but nothing back from .254 subsequently. So, I'm suspecting that the routing on the RV042 isn't working as expected.
Note that the VPN really isn't involved with this test. In operation I want packets to come through the VPN and be routed as above. This seemed like a reasonable test to see if it was working.
Any insights?
Thanks,
Fred
