alias replacement to satisfy asdm

[dlumsden]

Hi there,

I am using alias command to give access to a server via it's public IP address (the dns server returns a private one). The syntax is:

alias (inside) 192.168.51.125 195.x.y.z 255.255.255.255

This works great. However asdm doesn't like alias command, there is something about bi-directional nat etc. I have tried to configure it but I failed, unfortunately don't have a chance to test it (they really need access to it almost all the time).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I would recommend using the STATIC command here. The syntax would be:

static (inside,outside) 195.x.y.z 192.168.51.125 netmask 255.255.255.255.

If DNS points to your private address, this should work just fine.
