Hi,
It is actualan old question which was leave one wanos ( here was the core ) on inpath broke whole network.
reproduce
looking for
client --- wanos(edge) --- route --- wanos(core) --- server
1. build network
client --- route --- server
everthing works : client can http ftp cifs server
2. put wanos (core) into network
client --- route --- wanos(core) --- server
nothing works: client can not http ftp cifs server
3. put wanos (edge) into network
everything works again.
As my understanding, step 2 should be working with no optimization. My test environment is vmware workstaion 10 with dedicate wan0 and lan0 interfaces.
Or, I am missing something over here. Otherwise, in reality, there is no way you can put core and edge device up at the same time.
