sma 500v client to client communication help

Hello,
Wondering what I'm missing to allow communication between clients connected to the SMA vpn? If I try to ping between two netextender clients on the VPN they fail. I added some client routes on the SMA, but that didn't seem to help.
Not looking to connect site to site, just to enable communication between clients connected to the same VPN appliance.
Thanks!

In order to ping from client to client, you need to have a netextender client route set up for the subnet you are assigning vpn client ips in.

If you're using AWS/Azure this many not work
But if you're using other SMA models client should be able to ping each other provided both are getting same Tunnel IP address.
Try with Tunnel All mode.

We have the virtual appliance installed on-prem.
We are using the NetExtender client.
I don't want to force all traffic through the tunnel, is that the only way to make this work?
Thank you
Hello, I did add a client route for this, but I'm still unable to ping back and forth.
When I do a traceroute I see it going across the VPN tunnel to the built in interface on the SMA/ x2, but then it never goes anywhere from there.
You may have it being misrouted or possibly a software firewall block. If its a required functionality for your setup I would ask you open a support ticket for us to investigate further.
FYI I did get this working with the client route add, forgot I needed to have the other VPN client logout/login to get the new routes.
Thank you!
Great, thanks for the updates. we need to reconnect to get the new routes/resources updated for the users...
