ACL help

[davidfield]

ello All,

I've got a problem on a router with CBAC and an ACL on the outside interface.     When I apply the Access-group INTERNET I loose DNS access from inside.  The DNS server is the router and name servers 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4

Can anyone see what I'm  doing wrong here?  I've been looking at this for hours and I'm getting the mind blur.

Thanks in advance

Dave

ip inspect name CBAC-1 tcp router-traffic

ip inspect name CBAC-1 udp  router-traffic

ip inspect name CBAC-1 icmp router-traffic

With that, also the outgoing packets from the router are inspected and the answers are allowed in.

If you want to do it only with the ACL you have to configure it the following way (assuming 109.X.X.81 is your outside IP):

permit udp object-group ABCD eq domain host 109.X.X.81

Thanks Karsten,  Exactly what I was missing was the outbound traffic allow

permit udp object-group ABCD eq domain host 109.X.X.81

[Karsten Iwen · Accepted solution]

But the version with the "router-trafic" keyword is much more elegant as you don't need all the lines for return-traffic that is sourced by the router. That also can be outgoing pings, ntp and so on. Give it a try ...

Yeah I like it much better.  Thanks for this.
