Inter vLAN comm doesn't work

@johnpoz Yes, Windows VMs can ping every VM from any VLAN.
Sniffing / tcpdump will be a bit challenging since this is a "production" pfsense and so much going on there.
But, here's my netplan example
network:
ethernets:
ens1:
dhcp4: false
addresses:
- 10.10.50.15/24
gateway4: 10.10.50.1
nameservers:
addresses: [10.10.50.1]
routes:
- to: 10.10.60.0/24
via: 10.10.50.1
version: 2It was without the "routes" section, I just recently added that, still same. What else I can check?
All VMs can ping pfSense on their own /24 range IP, meaning
VM with 10.10.50.10 IP, can ping 10.10.50.1, without "routes" above, it couldn't ping 10.10.60.1 (still pfsense), with route, I can ping pfsense on other vlan, other IP range, but not VMs under that vLAN -
@johnpoz
I think I found something super weirdroot@vm1:~# ping 10.50.0.1
PING 10.50.0.1 (10.50.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

2 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 1002msYou see "WAN_IP_HERE"
It seems like its related to 1:1 NAT for WAN_IP bindings to these VMs and funnily enough Windows VMs don't have IP bindings....
Does this give you any clues?
P.S. Actually... The WAN IP is invalid...
My WAN IP is /25 range. But it's my main first WAN IP minus 1... so instead of 130, its pointing to 129 which I don't own, thats my WAN gateway IP

What is your outbound nat look like in pfsense? You doing a port forward with 1:1 natting should have nothing to do with clients talking to another local IP on some other vlan..
Again I ask if you have any sort of policy route on your rules.. Do you have a gateway set?
These clients that show that wan IP here - do they have more than their single 10.50.0.X IP?
-
@johnpoz No, they have 1 single vLAN internal NAT IP and in pfSense I do 1:1 to give them WAN IP as well so I can SSH into them remotely.
But I shouldn't see my WAN gateway IP erroring out in PING from inside that VM, that's really weird and strange
As for route policy, as far as I know I only have 1:1 NAT, that's it. Anything else I should check?

@johnpoz
As for Outbount NAT,I have a bunch of auto generated stuff that I can't delete/edit.
Then I have nothing manually added there in Mappings. Should I have some stuff in there?

Yeah trying to wrap my head around that myself.. hmmmmm? Maybe there is something with the 1:1 nat I am not understanding.. Have to play around with it on a VM and see if can duplicate your problem.
But in general - doing a 1:1 nat from public IP to rfc1918 IP should have zero to do with that rfc1918 address talking to some other local rfc1918 on a different vlan of yours..
-
@johnpoz I can even give you TeamViewer access if that's possible instead of you setting things up. It's just weirdest thing to me. No matter what NAT reflection method I chose, no matter what I did with NAT rules, I can't get VMs to ping internal IPs on other vLANs. It goes to gateway.... and errors out
-
@itestandroid maybe we can set that up tmrw if that is ok with you... I want to watch the new dave chappelle special on netflix.. And then should be about time for the MLB playoff game to start.. Lets go yanks - have money on them! Love that sports betting is legal - makes baseball exciting ;)

@johnpoz Sure, I'm around. NY Yankees FTW!
Just one question till tomorrow, I have an automatically generated rule:
127.0.0.0/8 ::1/128 192.168.1.0/24 10.10.50.0/24 10.10.20.0/24
in source and source port, destination and destination port is * and NAT Address is pointing to "WAN address" and its for all ports, not static port.Is this normal/OK?
-
@itestandroid that is just normal auto outbound nat, like this..
Those should be all your networks/vlans and tunnel networks for say openvpn, etc.
or do you mean somewhere else?
I have an automatically generated rule:
Picture always worth 10k words if you ask me.. What gets me thinking your not talking about outbound nat is ""WAN address"" ?? That would be like a port forward?
