Hi;

Hello guys,

I have a ASA 5540 that I'd like to configure for my brand office. Below my network topology:

Comcast---->Cisco ASA 5540 ----> L3 switch----> PC.

The ASA 5540 is reset to factory default setting. The goal is that I'd like to get my PCs online from this brand office.

The ASA has code version 9.1(5). Here is what I've configured so far:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
speed 1000
duplex full
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 12.3.4.5 255.255.255.0
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
speed 1000
duplex full
nameif Inside
security-level 100
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

object network net-192.168.1
subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

object network net-192.168.1
nat (Inside,Outside) dynamic interface
route Outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 12.3.4.1 1

I connected my PC to the L3 switch, I can ping the 192.168.1.1 (ASA inside) but unable to ping the outside and also can't get online while using google DNS 8.8.8.8 for my PC.

Any ideas why it doesn't work? Thanks.

To get ping working you'll probably need to add something like:

policy-map type inspect dns preset_dns_map
 parameters
 message-length maximum client auto
policy-map global_policy
 class inspection_default
 inspect ftp 
 inspect h323 h225 
 inspect h323 ras 
 inspect ip-options 
 inspect netbios 
 inspect rsh 
 inspect rtsp 
 inspect skinny 
 inspect sqlnet 
 inspect sunrpc 
 inspect tftp 
 inspect sip 
 inspect xdmcp 
 inspect icmp 
 inspect icmp error 
 inspect pptp 
 inspect dns preset_dns_map

Hi Guys,

I still can't get to the internet and also can't ping any public IP either.

Thanks.

Hi;

What is you ISP gateway is 12.3.4.9 or 12.3.4.1?

If its 12.3.4.9 then please modify you static route (route Outside 0 0 12.3.4.9) and verify.

If not can you also share the output of show nat & show xlate command.

Thanks & Best regards;

Marvin Rhoads · ‎07-29-2016

Ditto to what ahmed suggested.

Packet-tracer confirms the ASA setup is OK. You have an issue with / getting past the upstream gateway (Comcast router).

tinhnho123 · ‎07-29-2016

Hi Ahmed, the ISP's default gateway is 12.3.4.1.

ASA-Lab01# sh nat

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (Inside) to (Outside) source dynamic net-192.168.1 interface
translate_hits = 106, untranslate_hits = 87
ASA-Lab01#
ASA-Lab01# sh xlate
0 in use, 101 most used
ASA-Lab01#

Hi Marvin, I thought the Comcast router was having issue early today too so I setup a router with IP 12.3.4.9 as its outside interface, the route is working fine with the internet. My router can ping the ISP gateway and 8.8.8.8 and I can ping the ASA 12.3.4.5 and vice versa. I think I'm going to reboot the comcast router to see if it would help. I'll update you guys later. thanks.

ahmedshoaib · ‎07-30-2016

Hi,

You see the both output packet tracer and show nat both shows that its not a nat issue.

Mostprobably it's router issue.

Thanks

Marvin Rhoads · ‎07-23-2016

Philip is correct regarding ping.

I would also advise that ping is a poor tool for troubleshooting. More useful would be packet-tracer. It has both a GUI (ASDM) and cli version.

For instance:

packet-tracer input inside <tcp or udp> <source ip> <source port> <destination ip> <destination port>

...will show you the logic the ASA uses for a given packet with the specified 5-tuple (protocol, source ip, source port, destination ip, destination port).

johnlloyd_13 · ‎07-24-2016

hi,

is there a typo? make sure the NAT statements coincides with the nameif given.

nat (Inside,outside) dynamic interface

could you post show int ip brief and ping 8.8.8.8 from the ASA?
