traceroute througth asa is not working when ecmp error inspection is enabled

Eugene Khabarov — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 20:42:57 GMT

Hello, dear All!

I have problem with icmp traceroute configuration. When I enabling icmp error inspection in global policy, my traceroute results through ASA 8.2.4 looks like this:

My traceroute [v0.75]

Tue Jun 7 13:33:01 2011

8. destination.lan 0.0% 1 29.2 29.2 29.2 29.2 0.0

When ICMP error inspection is disabled, my results looks better, but still not all hops in the path:

icmp inspection and ttl decrement on ASA is enabled. Also I configured ACL on outside interface to permit ICMP completely.

What's the problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi Eugene,

I would request you to follow the doc below to configure ASA for traceroute:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_tech_note09186a0080094e8a.shtml#intro

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Varun

Hi! Thanks. But I already performed this at first step.

Can you please paste your MPF configuration? This should include all class-map, policy-map and service-policy commands you have configured. Note: you can use "show service-policy" to see if your configured policies are being matched.

Thanks,

Brendan

brquinn — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:33:25 GMT

I suspect the class-map is not getting hit at all so the TTL is never being decremented. The reason is due to the ASA

only matching the first class it finds for each feature type. It is not matching the class you intend, instead I think it is matching your NETFLOW_ALL_CLASS class or possibly your csc_class. How are these classes configured?

Feature Matching Within a Service Policy

Brendan

but still two hops missing.

brquinn — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:55:18 GMT

You're missing 'inspect icmp error'. Also, not all traceroutes use ICMP traffic. Are you sure your traceroute program isn't using TCP or UDP and the traffic is being blocked by an ACL? Note: The replies when the ttl expires are always ICMP.

Thanks,

Brendan

Eugene Khabarov — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:59:47 GMT

This is the core problem. When I enabling icmp error inspection - I can't see any hops except first and last as I already said in first message.

This traceroute program using only icmp. Standard unix traceroute with flag -I say the same - two hops missing without icmp error inspection and only first and last shown if there is icmp error inspection enabled.

Kureli Sankar — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:16:14 GMT

For trace route to work, in addition to icmp and icmp error inspection enabled you also need to allow

icmp time-exceeded and icmp unreachable via ACL from the outside to the inside (low to high) allowed.

Refer this link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_tech_note09186a0080094e8a.shtml

If you need the ASA to show up as one of the hops then, you need to do this in addition to the above:(you already have this configured)

Re: traceroute througth asa is not working when ecmp error inspe

Eugene Khabarov — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 09:28:55 GMT

Thank you. But as i already mentioned, all icmp traffic is allowed in outside acl.

ASA OS was upgrade to 8.2.5 also.

Re: traceroute througth asa is not working when ecmp error inspe

Kureli Sankar — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:24:17 GMT

I would get to the two devices that do not show up and see if they are not blocking/not sending time exceeded message.

Re: traceroute througth asa is not working when ecmp error inspe

Eugene Khabarov — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:46:55 GMT

You right. The problem was with intermediate devices. But I still can't make it works when ICMP error inspection is enabled.

Well, got to go with asp drop captures and icmp packets ingress and egress.

Thank you. Looks really that it is CSCti20726. I will be wating for the new release.
