Hi there,
I have some difficulties with configuring multiple internet links on an Astaro ASG320 v8.300. I went through the threads in this forum regarding this topic, but still can't figure it out.
The current situation is as follows: I have a 10/10 fiber channel connection and a 100/10 cable connection for internet uplink. The firewalls are in HA active/passive setup. The fiber link and the cable link run over a switch to distribute them to the two security appliances. The connection over the FC link works just fine and is used for all user internet traffic as well.
The interface of the cable modem is set to type "cable modem (DHCP)" and recieves an internet IP address from the modem.
What I want to have is the following: The FC link should be used for SMTP, Servers, etc and the cable modem for user internet connections.
The problem I am facing right now is that first of all I cannot ping the external IP of the cable modem from outside - which should IMHO be possible, as I have set the firewall to be ping visible. Is there anything else that needs to be considered or set regarding a setup like mine?
Second issue is that I have not really understood how to redirect traffic of normal clients to the cable line. I though of using policy routes as the way to go...Now the question is..
...first step is the policy route...do I have to set NAT rules and Firewall rules after I have created the route? I guess so, right?
Thanks for any input.
Best regards
Martin
