Firewall reads Controller IP and not client IP

  • 1.  Firewall reads Controller IP and not client IP

    Posted Nov 29, 2021 12:08 AM
    Hi, our customer have a deployment of 7010 and a few RAPs. The 7010 is on the data center, but the client traffic that goes through firewall only gives the IP of the controller itself, and not the clients, therefore, the Firewall cannot enforce the rules.

    Is there any way to solve this?

    Then probably you have source NAT configured somewhere either on the VLANs or on the roles. Best to go through your configuration with your partner or Aruba support.

    Hi Herman,

    Correct me if im wrong, but don't we need to use Source NAT on Split Tunnel deployments?
    Also you mean that its possible for the traffic to not get NATed and for the firewall to see the real IP right?

    For split tunnel, you should only do Source NAT for the local breakout traffic (route + snat); for the central traffic, you just do a Permit, without NAT.
