Router – Routing from VLAN to Internet via L3 Switch

gatewaynetworkingroutersonicwallvlan

Please excuse the brain-dump – trying to solve a problem that's had be running around in circles for an entire day!

TL;DR – Clients on two networks separated by a L3 switch can see and ping eachother, but only VLAN 99 can access the Internet, despite a default gateway being set (and routable) on the switch. Packets end up reaching the gateway and go no further, proven by traceroutes.

VLANs:

  • 192.168.50.0/24 (Legacy – VLAN 99)
  • 10.50.1.0/24 (New – VLAN 1)

Kit:

  • SonicWALL NSA220 with a LAN interface on 192.168.50.1 and a WAN address. The SonicWALL is configured to NAT all LAN addresses to the WAN.
  • HP 2920 Layer 3 switch, with interfaces on 192.168.50.254 and 10.50.1.254 and default gateway set to 192.168.50.1.

Default gateways:

  • VLAN 99: 192.168.50.1 (SonicWALL)
  • VLAN 1: 10.50.1.254 (HP)

Implementation details:

  • I have pushed a static route via DHCP for 10.50.1.0/24 with the gateway 192.168.50.254 to avoid ICMP redirects from the SonicWALL to 2920.
  • I have 10.50.1.0/24 statically routed to 192.168.1.254 and zoned as a LAN network on the SonicWALL.

Routing table on the 2920:

Please comment if anyone needs further detail.

The SonicWall needs a route to the 10.50.1.0/24 network via 192.168.50.254. 10.50.1.0/24 is not directly connected to the SonicWall so it has no idea how to route traffic back to that network.

Also, I don't understand this statement:

I have pushed a static route via DHCP for 10.50.1.0/24 with the gateway 192.168.50.254 to avoid ICMP redirects from the SonicWALL to 2920.
