ASA advertise dynamic and static NAT?

MARK BAKER

I've been trying to find a way to have an ASA advertise static and dynamic NAT through a dynamic routing protocol without luck. There appeared to be a way to use static routes along with NAT to do it with 8.2 and earlier, but I don't think that works anymore. I am setting up ASA clustering, so proxy-arp is no longer an option.

The goal is to have the ability to configure NAT on a tenant ASA context (self-service long term goal) and have it advertised into a dynamic routing protocol without any other configuration like creating a static route each time you configure a NAT mapping. The tenant contexts would have an outside interface on a shared public IP subnet that is different than the public NAT IPs that can be used by any of the tenants. Pre-allocating NAT IPs to each tenant and pre-routing the range would be wasteful as we don't know how many IPs each tenant would require now or in the future.

Since the ASA can't do proxy-arp while clustering in individual-interface mode at least, it would be nice to be able to inject mapped IPs into a dynamic routing protocol like can be done with the 'add-route' keyword on IOS devices. Does anyone know if this is on the road map for the ASA?

Thank you,

Mark

Did you ever find a way to do this?

Probably not, although I am not sure what he was actually chasing here.

He did mention the old 8.2 way and IOS way, but neither had "dynamic routing "support for NAT. 

So what is actually the request here?

Here's a post I made with a similar question (before I found this post).

 

https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/vpn/asa-s2s-transition-to-new-cluster-with-dynamic-nat-address/m-p/3345332#M121326

 

Basically, we're moving from an old cluster to a new cluster. For us, I'd like to dynamically advertise each individual S2S NAT space as they tunnels come up so that more specific routes can take precedence and we don't have to make manual routing changes as the end points re-configure their connections.

 

 

I am aiming to P level on Security as we speak, but I don't think what you need is possible on the ASA.

 

Had you use VTIs - that's another story, but on the old policy mode that ASA employs for VPNs, I see no ideas. 

What I can think is EEM but the effort for creating the script might get close to just migrating one tunnel at a time.
