Layer 3 Routing

B.R.O.

Has anyone had to overcome Asymmetric Routing in your LAN similar to these diagrams?  There is alot of serial communication traffic being converted to ip traffic then needs to route to a server on the remote lan.  10.141.12.1 uses 10.141.12.86 as the gateway to 10.255.1.71.

Inside the 10.141.12.86 router there is also nats routing 10.255.1.71 to another network.  

 

Can I configure interfaces on the UTM to ignore all Asymmetric Routing or should I get my hp 2510 to do the layer 3 routing totally bypassing any stateful traffic inspection?

    UTM is optimized for filtering traffic between trusted and untrudted devices.   You do not want it in the middle of this internal traffic, assuming that both sides are equally trusted.  If one side is not trusted, then separate subnets should be used and UTM should see all traffic in both directions.

      Asymmetric routing should  be avoided as much as possible in any network configuration.

    Stateful inspection requires a device to see all traffic in both directions.

    Ok this was a nightmare trying to make it work with the UTM in the middle of this internal traffic last year.  Its unavoidable and has to be allowed on my network.
