Send Flow data to On-premises Analytics from a specific interface

Hello,

¿Does anybody knows if there is any way to force traffic towards on-premises Analytics to be generated from a specific interface on the Firewall?. This is because I have the Analytics appliance deployed in the internal network, but it seems that the firewall always tries to send traffic only from WAN interface, even though I set a specific route to reach the analytics, firewall ignores it. Due to this, the firewall can not be added successfully to On-prem analytics.

WAN Interface:

Traffic is always generated from WAN, ignoring the static route:


Thank you so much in advance for your help:

  • @Yuber_Sierra,

    Have you mentioned the On-Prem Analytics IP address under MANAGE | AppFlow Settings | GMS Flow server?

    I tried this on my test firewall and can see the firewall generating traffic using X0 IP.

    You can refer to this KB for more details.

    Thanks!

  • Hello @shiprasahu93 , I did mentioned the On-Prem Analytics IP address under MANAGE | AppFlow Settings | GMS Flow server.

    I also have found that On-Prem Analytics is behind another sonicwall Firewall connected via tunnel interface VPN. I assigned the object 10.0.1.231 (On-prem analytics) to VPN Zone on branch firewall, but test fails, even setting the "source IP to use over VPN tunnel":

    This is the scenario. VPN tunnel is up, but test to On-prem Analytics still fails:


    Thank you.
