DSI_MyAuchan

Hello,

I have an equipment on ip 10.45.36.170 ( nat to 10.114.3.36) over a VPN tunnel.

It communicate in udp to a server 10.171.6.20

my LAN is on X0 interface / WAN on X1 inteface.

Why is it consumed and not forwarded ?

Hi @DSI_MYAUCHAN,

Thank you for visiting SonicWall Community.

Since you have performed a NAT over a VPN tunnel, the firewall will consume the packets from IP address 10.45.36.170 and will perform NAT operation to change the IP address to 10.114.3.36 and forwards the same packets over the VPN tunnel to destined IP 10.171.6.20.

Hence both consumed and forwarded packet status are shown.

Please take a look at the below KB article for packet status types in SonicWall.

Hope this helps.
