Scenario: MX250 as a hub for all site to Site VPN. All spoke sites use this MX as their Default Gateway. I would like to introduce a default route to internet for the hub MX250 to be a directly connected A.N.Other Firewall as opposed to the WAN1 or WAN2 of the MX. Why? To have another firewall do what it does in-line with the MX. Any ideas if this is possible?
Thanks
Peter
If I'm understanding your question correctly, you can configure the MX as a one armed concentrator that would be on the inside network behind the other firewall:
Thanks for replying, Russ. Honestly, I do not know if this will give me the level of VPN availability I currently enjoy when using both MX WAN interfaces connected to separate ISPs. Unless I could perhaps try to do some Policy Based Routing on the "other" firewall" to allow each WAN interface of the MX to route out through a different ISP interface of the other firewall thus maintaining multiple VPN connections between the MX and the remote sites. Possible you think?
If you want to keep using routed mode. You can set a static 0.0.0.0 route on the lan side of the mx hub . And advertise that 0 route into vpn
Like this?
Yes.
I think it has to be 0.0.0.0/0.
And dont forget That next hop need to route back aĺl vpn and local vlan subnets back to your mx
