access rules seems not following

[TECH-JEFF]

Hi, I haven't rebooted the Cisco ASA (our firewall) but might need one since I'm encountering weird stuff. On the interface where our users are running in this policy or access rules. Originally it only has ip service, so when I thought of adding icmp so that we can check by pinging outside ip etc, it worked for me but right after I removed the icmp, weird is that it can still ping a hostname and outside dns server like 8.8.8.8 (Google) etc

Device is Cisco ASA 5520 with OS version 8.2

Thanks

Jeff

Hi,

Could you share the access rules configured on the outside interface ?

Above is the access-list or policies. the x.x.x.x is one of the NAT'ed IP's going outside but we can ignore that for the moment.

Hi,

I see that you are using access-list outside-etpi_access_in line 2 extended permit ip any any

So there is no need of using permit  icmp any as the above statement will allow every traffic.

You can use a packet tracer to confirm the access-list that is being hit on the ASA.

Ok, what I did was remove the ip for the service and just put in domain. I was able to browse but icmp was not working. So I changed it from domain udp/tcp to ip and it worked both, was able to browse and was able to ping.

I now moved to my next issue, if I can ping a website, dns, etc, I'm not sure why I can't ping my ip block. the outside-etpi or ISP1 is our main which has a block of /29. I can ping our gateway (which is the ISP side). If for example his IP is:

GW(ISP): 192.168.67.113 --> pingable

FW port(our side): 192.168.67.114 --> not pingable and the other IP's

Did I miss something in our config?

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

By design you would not be able to ping ASA outside interface IP from the inside network.

I see, thanks for the input Aditya and thanks for the patience for a novice like me. So by design, regardless if I NAT'ed a local IP to a WAN IP, it will still be not pingable. What I did was setup a FTP server with a local IP, NAT'ed this local ip for example: 192.168.11.3 to a WAN IP for example: 192.168.67.117 and our gateway is 192.168.67.113.

Thanks

Hi Jeff,

Only interface IP should not be pingable.

All other IP's should be pingable.

ok, copy that, so that clarifies everything. The only problem now is that I need to check why I cant ping the other IP's in this block.

Thank you and have a great day ahead!
