PIX 7.0.4 NAT Issue

dspdss — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 08:38:50 GMT

I recently upgraded from version 6.3.4 to 7.0.4 on a new PIX firewall. Now it appears that mapping multiple outside IP addresses to a single inside IP, which was supported in 6.3.4, is not longer supported in 7.0.4. Is this true, and if so, are there any workarounds? Thanks.

providing different static statements are used for different ports, you can configure port forwarding instead of one-to-one mapping.

e.g.

static (dmz,outside) tcp 172.16.1.10 9443 192.168.3.3 9443 netmask 255.255.255.255

static (dmz,outside) tcp 172.16.1.11 9080 192.168.3.3 9080 netmask 255.255.255.255

I've just had a response back from TAC on this exact issue

multiple to 1 NAT is not, and has never been supported in PIX/ASA

wrt it previously working in 6.3.4, (and other versions.) TAC response is "may have worked.... but it is not guaranteed to work all the time".
