1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending out a SYN packet to a
receiving server on the WAN.
2 The ZyXEL Device reroutes the SYN packet through Gateway A on the LAN to the
WAN.
3 The reply from the WAN goes directly to the computer on the LAN without going
through the ZyXEL Device.
As a result, the ZyXEL Device resets the connection, as the connection has not been
acknowledged.
Figure 70 “Triangle Route” Problem
12.2.2 Solving the “Triangle Route” Problem
If you have the ZyXEL Device allow triangle route sessions, traffic from the WAN can go
directly to a LAN computer without passing through the ZyXEL Device and its firewall
protection.
Another solution is to use IP alias. IP alias allows you to partition your network into logical
sections over the same Ethernet interface. Your ZyXEL Device supports up to three logical
LAN interfaces with the ZyXEL Device being the gateway for each logical network.
It’s like having multiple LAN networks that actually use the same physical cables and ports.
By putting your LAN and Gateway
A in different subnets, all returning network traffic must
pass through the ZyXEL Device to your LAN. The following steps describe such a scenario.
1
A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving
server on the WAN.
2
The ZyXEL Device reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2.
3 The reply from the WAN goes to the ZyXEL Device.
4
The ZyXEL Device then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.
