allow inbound range of public IPs to pass through the ASA to reach my email server behind the DMZ

[Abdulkader Naji]

Dears,

I have emails server server 10.10.10.249 hosted on-premise  with public address NATed at ASA outside interface and recently installed application which require to allow a set of IPs to access the server the IPs are :-

74.201.84.80 

74.201.152.59

74.201.154.214 

165.254.168.201 

I'm sure the server can reach all services outside but what shall I do?? 

The ASA Configuration 

=========================================================================================================

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

 nameif outside

 security-level 0

 ip address 82.X.x.x 255.255.255.252

access-group 140 in interface outside

access-group SMTP_Restrict in interface inside

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 82.147.202.137 1

route inside 10.10.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 1

route inside 10.10.12.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 1

============================================================================================================================

I think this rows should be omitted to resolve the issue

nat (inside) 0 access-list no_nat
access-list no_nat extended permit ip 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0 any
access-list no_nat extended permit ip any 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0

How do you figure that removing the no-nat will solve the issue?  the no nat is defining an internal address of 10.10.20.0/24 while your server is on 10.10.10.249

you need to create a NAT statement for each of the public addresses pointing to the 10.10.10.249 server.

and then access-lists permitting the traffic.

Are you having issues with the original server setup using the outside interface?

Iam not sure how to do it? can you tell me what commands exactly?

[Marius Gunnerud · Accepted solution]

Here is an example of what you can do.  But you will need to change make changes with regards to the ports so the correct public IP is translated with the correct port.  And in turn you will then need to adjust the access-list configuration.

static (inside,outside) tcp 74.201.84.80 http 10.10.10.249 http

static (inside,outside) tcp 74.201.152.59 https 10.10.10.249 https

static (inside,outside) tcp 74.201.154.214 pop3 10.10.10.249 pop3

static (inside,outside) tcp 165.254.168.201 smtp 10.10.10.249 smtp

access-list 140 extended permit tcp any 74.201.84.80 eq http

access-list 140 extended permit tcp any 74.201.152.59 eq https

access-list 140 extended permit tcp any 74.201.154.214 eq pop3

access-list 140 extended permit tcp any 165.254.168.201 eq smtp

what I want to allow internet public IP as I listed above to be able to accessing my email server.

I'm not sure but I think the direction should be from outside to inside.if I'm not wrong.

Thanks

[Marius Gunnerud]

The example I gave is from outside to inside.  Static NAT i bidirectional. and access-list 140 is the access-list configured on the outside interface.

you need to figure out what port your email server is using.  Normally it is port tcp/25 (smtp), outlook web access uses port tcp/443.  If you do not know which port your mail server is using then I suggest you talk with the server administrator to find out.
