We are trying to configure the FVX538v2 to work in our network which has a Cisco 1602R router that is used as a gateway for the individiual workstations. It routes 131.* traffic to a searial-attached modem and all other traffic to the firewall (been trying a Watchguard Edge and Netgear).
I can connect to the Internet directly with 1 PC going into the Netgear. However, when I introduce the network into the Netgear and use the Cisco as a GW, if I run a 'show arp' command on the Cisco, the ARP/MAC address of the Netgear shows as "Incomplete". The IP address of it is correct though. But, I cannot ping the Netgear (times out) from inside the Cisco. I can also not ping the Netgear on the PC that is directly connected to the Netgear (when the Network is also plugged into the Netgear as well).
Of note: running 'arp -a' on the workstation does display both the IP address and MAC address of the Cisco. I can also see both using the "Groups and Hosts" option in the GUI for the Netgear. But I cannot ping the Cisco from the directly connected PC and the ping in the Netgear interface also fails (times out).
We do have a working Watchguard SOHO in place but noone can get into the config since we do not have the username/password and we are trying to replace it with the Netgear. With the SOHO in place, everything works fine.
Below I have pasted the Cisco router config so you can see that there are no ACL's set up.
