NAT ASA5512 8.6(1)2 in and out

[jadragna1]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post so please forgive me if I miss something. I have an ASA5512 running 8.6(1)2 that I am trying to NAT a public IP address from my ISP to multiple phone systems on the inside of my network. One of these phone systems is at the same site as the ASA5512 and I have no problems getting this one to work with my current config. The problem comes when I apply the same type of NAT rule that works at the main site to allow NAT to the other sites. These sites are connected via a point-to-point system from our ISP. The point-to-point does not seem to be an issue as I can ping any device at our other sites and I can RDP into computers and servers at the others sites. I can also call internally between sites but when I try to call the other sites from my cell I cant get through. Also when I forward one of the extensions at the others sites to my cell and then call internally I do not get an outside line.

In the config below you can see that Ive applied the same NAT and ACL rules to the adminphonesystem and the deltaphonesystem objects. The adminphonesystem can make calls and recieve them with no issues. The deltaphonesystem cannot make or recieve calls from outside our network. Only internal calls are working for the deltaphonesystem. Ive done packet traces in every which way and corrected any issues that I have found with no fix to the problem. So I cleaned up my config and posted it here. Really hope someone can give me a few pointers in getting this problem solved.

On another note I have a Cisco ASA5505 with smartnet support. So i throw it in place of the 5512 and call cisco support. A tech calls me back and we get everything working perfectly on the 5505 with a few simple rules. I say thank you and have a nice. Then I throw the 5512 back in and replicate the rules from the 5505 that were working. Both of these units are using the new NAT setup that was released after 8.3. To my surprise the 5512 doesnt work even though I have the same rules as the 5505. If anyone can answer that side question please do.

Hi,

If I am not mistaken then atleast one big problem is the source interface in the other NAT configuration command

You have this

nat (Inside,Outside) source static DeltaPhoneSystem DeltaPhonePublic no-proxy-arp

Yet you have this "object network" and "route"

object network DeltaPhoneSystem

host 10.1.96.225

route P2P 10.1.96.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.99.1 1

So seems to me that your NAT configuration should be

nat (P2P,Outside) source static DeltaPhoneSystem DeltaPhonePublic no-proxy-arp

Just as a side note, I personally prefer to configure Static NAT with Network Object NAT. With those configurations your Static NAT configurations would look like this

object network DeltaPhoneSystem

host 10.1.96.225

nat (P2P,Outside) static 76.320.333.51

object network AdminPhoneSystem

  host 10.1.99.225

  nat (Inside,Outside) static 76.320.333.48

Also one very important note, if you are using multiple public subnets on your ASA "Outside" interface then the way this is implemented by your ISP has a lot of meaning.

• If the ISP has configured one public subnet between its gateway device and your ASA and routed the other subnet(s) towards the ASAs "Outside" interface IP address then there is no problem.
• If the ISP has configured both (or all) public subnets on their gateway interface (others as "secondary" subnets) then you will (to my understanding) run into a problem with ARP with nonconnected networks on the ASA.
  • To correct this you would require you to either change the setup to the first option with the ISP or update your ASA software to 9.0(2) or possibly 9.1(2) to get access to the command "arp permit-nonconnected"

Here is the section from the patch notes that also explains the commands purpose

 ARP cache additions for non-connected subnets 


 The ASA ARP cache only contains entries from directly-connected subnets  by default. You can now enable the ARP cache to also include  non-directly-connected subnets. We do not recommend enabling this  feature unless you know the security risks. This feature could  facilitate denial of service (DoS) attack against the ASA; a user on any  interface could send out many ARP replies and overload the ASA ARP  table with false entries. 

 You may want to use this feature if you use: 

 •Secondary subnets. 

 •Proxy ARP on adjacent routes for traffic forwarding. 

 We introduced the following command: arp permit-nonconnected. 

 Also available in 8.4(5). 

If you want to take a look at a NAT 8.3+ document I made here on the CSC then follow this link

Hopefully the above helps with your problem
