Routing feature required for FusionHub

We have a client where FHB routing capability is required.
On the diagram below, host from LAN 172.16.3.0/24 (30Pro) needs to reach a host 10.3.111.5 in the private network via FHB that mediates between two balance routers (30Pro and 305). Both balance routers have SF tunnels towards FHB. The private network is connected through a WAN interface of 305.
From LAN 173.16.0.0/23, host 10.3.111.5 can be reached using outbound policy of 305.
A static route towards network 10.3.0.0/16 is added at FHB however, host 10.3.111.5 is not reachable from LAN 172.16.3.0/24 (30Pro) even if it’s confirmed that this route has reached 30Pro as shown on screenshot below.

This particular use case has the restrictions below:

  1. No control to enable OSPF at the private network side
  2. Will not establish SF between 30Pro and 305 directly
  3. Will not establish IPSec tunnel betwenn 30Pro and 305 directly

Thanks

  • Can the Fusionhub ping 10.3.111.5?
  • Is the Balance 305 WAN connected to the MPLS network in IP forwarding mode?
    If it is, Does the MPLS network have a route for 172.16.3.0/24?

Whats the destination IP?

hello @MartinLangmaid

  • Can the Fusionhub ping 10.3.111.5?
    [rt] i cannot exactly remember but most likely yes it was able to ping. also chasing if someone can check this again on the setup.

  • Is the Balance 305 WAN connected to the MPLS network in IP forwarding mode?
    [rt] this is not the case, only NAT.
    If it is, Does the MPLS network have a route for 172.16.3.0/24?
    [rt] we do not have control of the private network however from LAN of 305, we are able to ping 10.3.111.5 at private MPLS network.

The destination host ip in this example is 10.3.111.5
or if you mean next hop address, it is 10.2.28.1.
I have asked if it can be changed this to LAN ip address of Balance 305 but did not get feedback yet.

thank you!

Moving the MPLS network under B305 LAN or VLANs network will able to help for your case. As long as 10.3.0.0/16 is added as static route for the B305 LAN network then OSPF will advertise the route to the remote devices.

@sitloongs this could be the solution.
let me check and feedback on this.
