ACE Source NAT + inspect ftp

[acennami]

Since upgrading to the A2 code from the 1.6.3 code you must apply inspect ftp on a layer 3 class.

This has broken my outbound NAT when using FTP, and I'm wondering what the workaround is. In A2, all of the 'inspect ftp' statemens below are invalid. But I also don't know how I would be able to match the servers on a layer 3 basis to get the inspect ftp command to accept inside the class??

Right now I'm stuck on 1.6.3, which has a serious bug that warrants upgrading, but I'm not sure how to get FTP inspection inside my NAT classes.

you should only apply the inspect ftp command to a class-map that matches x.x.x.x:21.

Do not apply it to anything else.

Make sure to run version A2(1.2)

OK, but how do I apply that on the outbound NAT, which is matched against a Layer 3 ACL?

(I also noted I could not create Layer 4 ACLs after upgrading)

[Gilles Dufour]

You only need to inspect the control channel (normally port 21) on inbound.

Inspection should detect all your nating (inbound and outbound) and do the rest correctly.

It was broken in A2(1.0) and was fixed in A2(1.2).
