Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

dink — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:50:01 GMT

I'm trying to impliment this exact senario that Cisco lays out in this article. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_configuration_example09186a0080094763.shtml

Document ID: 15244

The problem is, I can't get it to work. I have a PIX535, and 2 7206 routers. I've put in the commands exactly as seen here, with the exception of a few commands that arn't correct. i.e. they left out a few things in some of the access list commands. One command i'm not sure what to replace. Like this one: access-list 110 permit udp host 10.10.250.5 0.0.0.255 this command appears to be quite messed up or from an older version of IOS. Anyway, what it comes down to is the PIX config works fine, but once I add in the access-lists to the routers, all communication through, inside and out, stops. According to the logs, all internal traffic going outside is denided by the internal router's access list. I like the concept here and I would like to get it to work right. I'm not an access-list wiz so i'm unsure where to go from here.

Thanks

it seems like the access-list is incorrect. we need to see the access-list that you have configured and the ip addresses. infact the complete configs (hide external IP addresses)

we focus on PIX config, i dont see any access-list applied. What access-list you are applying ? and what is getting blocked. Please provide breif problem description.

thanks

Nadeem

Re: Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

dink — Thu, 30 Dec 2004 19:32:54 GMT

Weel, like I said in my first message, The senario is one of the sample pix configs with 2 routers setup to protect it. The pix config alone works fine, but once I apply the access lists to the 2 routers, It doesn't work like the documents says it should. No traffic is allowed in or out.

Re: Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

alutsik — Thu, 30 Dec 2004 20:11:03 GMT

I think main thing here is a difference in "GLOBAL" statement on the PIX. Example has:

global (outside) 1 131.1.23.12-131.1.23.254

But your config:

global (outside) 1 interface

Hence second line of ACL 110 on outside router blocks return traffic:

access-list 110 deny ip 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 any log

access-list 110 deny ip any host 131.1.23.2 log

access-list 110 permit tcp any 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 established

You have 2 options:

1. Change Global on the firewall

2. Change order of lines in ACL 110, switch line 2 with line 3

Regards,

Alexander.

Re: Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

nkhawaja — Thu, 30 Dec 2004 21:19:42 GMT

i think the problem is with this line in the access-list applied to inside router

access-list 110 permit ip 10.10.254.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.250.0 0.255.255.255

this should be changed to

access-list 110 permit ip any 10.1.4.0 0.0.0.255

just change the access-list 110 on outside router too as follows

acess-list 110 permit ip any host 131.1.23.2

access-list 110 permit ip any host 131.1.23.11

Thanks

Re: Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

dink — Thu, 30 Dec 2004 23:30:10 GMT

Ok, I think i have it all working now. I used a combination of the 2 and traffic is flowing now. Just to make sure i'm blockign what I need to be, like spoof attacks and such, do my access-lists look ok now?

OUTSIDE ROUTER

access-list 110 deny ip 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.225 any log

access-list 110 permit tcp any 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 established

access-list 110 deny ip any host 131.1.23.1

access-list 110 permit ip any 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255

INSIDE ROUTER

access-list 110 permit udp host 10.10.250.0 0.0.0.5 10.1.4.250 eq syslog

access-list 110 deny ip host 10.10.254.1 any log

access-list 110 deny ip 10.10.250.0 0.0.0.255 any

access-list 110 permit ip any 10.1.4.0 0.0.0.255

Also, would it be any more beneficial to run the AUTO SECURE command on these routers?

Re: Cisco Secure PIX Firewall with Two Routers Configuration

dink — Fri, 31 Dec 2004 01:08:25 GMT

oops, Sorry, I had some type-os in there. here are the access lists again.

OUTSIDE ROUTER

access-list 110 permit tcp any 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255 established

access-list 110 deny ip any host 131.1.23.1

access-list 110 permit ip any 131.1.23.0 0.0.0.255

PIX

access-list 101 permit udp host 131.1.23.1 host 131.1.23.11 eq syslog

INSIDE ROUTER

access-list 110 permit udp host 10.10.254.0 0.0.0.255 10.1.4.250 eq syslog

access-list 110 deny ip host 10.10.254.1 any log
