Radius Authentication over SD-WAN

I have radius authentication working locally from the Sophos Firewall to the local radius server for both VPN and for WiFi authentication, however I am unable to get the authentication working from the Sophos Firewall to another radius server at a remote location over the SD-WAN link.

The SD-WAN link is working perfectly from any PC on the network and they can reach the remote Sophos Firewall, and anything on the remote network and vice-versa (including ping).  If I try to ping from the local Sophos Firewall to the remote network (Diagnostics page, or advanced console) I get 0 replies.

I have checked the configuration and both routing System-generated traffic and reply packets over the SD-WAN are enabled.

Any ideas on why I am not getting system generated traffic over the RED tunnel/SD-WAN?

Version: v20.2 Home - then updated to  v21 GA home

Thanks in advance

Ian

  • Hello  ,

    Thank you for the update. I suggest using the static route for now. 

    To understand it further, which scenario is hitting. We may need your network diagram with the connectivity details along with the packet captures to identify which condition is being hit from the above mentioned KBA.

    You seems to have pointed the correct option, however, I suspect any of below seems to be the case in your scenario

    1: One WAN interface (default gateway) or static route is necessary for PBR to work for system-originating traffic. You need the WAN interface (default gateway) or static route for proxy traffic match in the reply path

    OR 

    2: The SD-WAN policy route (policy-based route) that has higher precedence than the VPN policy route based on the route_precedence configuration will be disregarded by system-originating traffic if a match with the latter policy is made. Sophos Firewall will not follow the route precedence in such a scenario. However, if the system-originating traffic matches a static route, it will apply the route precedence configuration between the static and VPN routes or between static and SD-WAN policy routes.

    Also, like  mentioned, select source as any in SDWAN route and help us with the output.
