On a variety of 3rd party platforms, I often establish an SA between two IPSec devices with a /16 of RFC 1918 space on one side and a /24 on the other (sometimes as much as a /19).
This "uneven" size subnet arrangement prevents the need for full-mesh in a large corporate network. It allows for hub & spoke. I remember an OpenBSD 3.6-era bug, which I was certain was PR'd and fixed, that caused this configuration to fail. On a remote branch office policy router, I have the following ENCAP family routes (below) Here's the problem: 1) Traffic sourced from the internal interface (192.168.64.1/24) for the directly connected subnet 192.168.64.0/24 is transmitted accross the tunnel in ESP 2) Traffic from the locally connected subnet reaches the interface of the internal (64.1/24), but reply packets are attempted to forward accross the tunnel instead of back out of the physical interface Routing tables # netstat -rn -rf encap Encap: Source Port Destination Port Proto SA(Address/Proto/Type/Direction) 192.168/16 0 192.168.64/24 0 0 206.210.89.200/esp/use/in 192.168.64/24 0 192.168/16 0 0 206.210.89.200/esp/require/out # netstat -rn -f inet Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface default 71.166.xxx.xxx UGS 11 173981 - em2 71.166.245/24 link#3 UC 1 0 - em2 192.168.64/24 link#1 UC 4 0 - em0 Strange as hell.... $ sudo tcpdump -i em0 -s 256 "!port 22" $ ping 192.168.64.100 PING 192.168.64.100 (192.168.64.100): 56 data bytes [but, what is seen on another terminal] [1] sudo tcpdump -i em2 -s 256 "!port 22" 20:00:28.610672 esp xxxxx.east.verizon.net > vpncxxx.pub.collaborativefusion.com spi 0x0ACAEE17 seq 89 len 116 ICMP packets giving me the old slip-a-roo out the back door >:} -- Brian A.
