No connectivity to blade servers through VPN

[Andrew Hammond]

We recently changed our VPN solution for remote users and can no longer connect to any of our blades (c7000 enclosure, bl480c servers) remotely through the VPN. I can remotely access (ping, RPD, SQL Query, etc...) all non-blade servers which are in the same rack and connected to the same switch as the blades. And when on the local 192.168.x.x subnet I can access all servers.

The servers are on a 192.168.x.x subnet and the MobileVPN users are on a new 172.31.x.x subnet. The only thing I can think of is that the blades or enclosures are denying all traffic except for packets from the 192.168.x.x subnet.

Where is this deny happening? server? ethernet pass-through? enclosure? and where is the setting configured at?

How about the Firewall ? It has protocol filtering because the decision to forward or reject traffic is Dependant upon the protocol used.

Sounds like a bad or missing route/gateway configuration somewhere: either on the blades or in the VPN configuration.

It should not be anything to do with the VPN configuration or the Firewall because I can access everything else in the network, including other non-blade HP servers.

I will double check the gateway configs on the blades.

Sometimes it is the simple things that get overlooked. It was the default gateway setting on all the blades.
