ASA Basics: v8.6 not passing traffic

[S.Srivas_2]

Access-list ALL IP any any

Access-list all ICMP any any

access-group ALL applied to all interfaces, in and out

traffic not passing through

from ASA ping external IPs work via some interfaces and not other

Need your help to get the traffic through the ASA.

Any instrctions required?

[Jouni Forss]

Hi,

Are you sure you have configured NAT for all users?

Can you share the ASA configuraitons?

Hi,

The are some oddities/problems with the configurations.

First I would suggest changing the "security-level" values to something more basic

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

security-level 0

interface GigabitEthernet0/2

security-level 100

Also it seems to me that you are lacking some NAT configurations.

For example the Dynamic PAT for basic Internet access for the LAN networks

object-group network DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE

network-object 10.74.132.0 255.255.255.0

network-object 10.112.64.0 255.255.248.0

nat (INSIDE_SIT,OUTSIDE) after-auto source dynamic DEFAULT-PAT-SOURCE interface

Also you have some "object" and "nat" configurations for a local address that I dont see in your "route" commands or interface network ranges. Specifically this one

object network obj-Switch-10.98.74.2

host 10.98.74.2

nat (INSIDE_SIT,OUTSIDE) static YYY.111.27.8

I can't see a network including the address 10.98.72.2 anywhere on the above ASA configurations? There is no route for it and there is no interface configured which has that address space.

Also even though you have opened all traffic I would suggest the following configuration

fixup protocol icmp

I would also recomend removing these ACL. Partly because they are not needed, partly because they pose a security risk.

no access-group ALL in interface OUTSIDE

no access-group ALL out interface OUTSIDE

no access-group ALL out interface INSIDE_SIT

- Jouni

[S.Srivas_2]

Thank you for the above.

I changed the security levels. For now I am interested in passing traffic through and will look at the static NAT later.

The problem I have at the moment, if I ping from outside PC (gatewway) via interface inside-sit local link to router 10.112.64.222, it does not work, telnet does not work too.

PC(xxx.44.38.41)-----(outside XXX.44.38.44)------>ASA------(inside_SIT 10.112.64.1)---------->router (10.112.64.222)

Strangely, I can ping from the outside pc (.41) to outside interface (.44) but ASA cannot ping the outside PC (.41)!

The new config listing is given below. Appreciate your help on this.

Hi,

Try to configure this

icmp permit xxx.44.38.44 255.255.255.248 OUTSIDE

Naturaly replace the "x" with the actual public network address. After this try the ICMP from the ASA to the outside PC.

To be able to ICMP/PING the Router behind the ASA from the Public network you would need a Static NAT for the Router.

Provided you have a public IP address to spare for this you could configure

object network STATIC-ROUTER

host 10.112.64.222

nat (INSIDE_SIT,OUTSIDE) static

- Jouni

[S.Srivas_2]

Hi Jouni,

We have just tried that, but still not working.

Any other suggestion?

[Jouni Forss · Accepted solution]

Can you specify what is not working as there was multiple things that were not working.

If the ASA outside and the PC on outside are in the same subnet they should be able to see eachother directly. Are you sure the PC itself isnt preventing the ICMP? It wouldnt be anything uncommon if the PC has firewall settings preventing this.

On the ASA you can naturally use the "show arp" command which should list all the host that the ASA sees in directly connected network. If you dont see some host directly connected you can always ping those IP addresses and then re-issue the command "show arp".

If you mean that also the connection to the router behind that ASA doesnt work then can you share the NAT configuration you made for it?

Also seems you have not added the ICMP inspection

policy-map global_policy

class inspection_default

inspect icmp

inspect icmp error

- Jouni

[S.Srivas_2]

It works.

The config was OK. The end stations (Laptop and Switch/Router) routing was not accurate. It is now fied.

Thank you Jouni Foress for all the help..
