Hi Markus,

Out of curiosity, why is it important? It's also odd because in a simplified VPN policy, which is required for managed Edge boxes, the external interface of regular FW-1 boxes are automatically included in the encryption domain.

Is it possible that the Edge external interfaces are but the traffic you're using is getting accepted on an implied rule (which are always before the VPN rules)? It doesn't sound like it because of the group thing you're doing, though.

Hi

We're talking about VPN-1 edges with the latest firmware and a NGX R61_HFA01 Gateway/Management.

I have the following Situation: A central Gateway and some Edges (with dynamic Adresses) living in a Star Community. The Traffic from beheind the edges (their encryption Domains) goes perfectly through the VPN, while the traffic originating directly from the edges does not.

In SmartDashboard, I have Network Objects for the edge's encryption Domains. These Network Objects are used for manually defining the edge encryption Domains. A workarround is to replace these network Objects by group Objects, containing the network Objects AND the edge Object. This seems ugly to me, but it works.

Is there a better way? Is there a switch like "the gateway is allways in the encryption Domain, or something like that?
