ASA SSH / Telnet

jwood1650 · ‎03-19-2013

I just configured my ASA so I can remote access via SSH but I can't seem to get it to work. I have my ASA (10.0.10.1) with my wireleess router (192.168.0.1) connected via the WAN port. I should be able to access the ASA from my laptop (192.168.0.105) correct?

Here is my current config:

Hi,

In addition to the current SSH configurations you will need to issue the command

crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048

to be able to use SSH into the ASA

I'm not sure if you had problem with Telnet also? For that you dont atleast have the configuration allowing Telnet connections.

telnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 inside

added that but now I can't ping from my ASA to my laptop....but I can ping my ASA from my laptop.... are my routes correct?

Firewall# show route

Hi,

The command really shouldnt have any effect on any connections. Its a basic configuration needed on an ASA to enable SSH management connections.

Your route seems to be pointing to an address 10.0.1.10 which IS NOT part of the network 10.0.10.0/24.

So seems to be a typo there. Probably should be 10.0.10.10?

yep type, corrected and still can't ping from my ASA to my laptop:

We dont know how the router is configured.

We for example dont know if its doing some basic Dynamic PAT translation for the network 192.168.0.0/24 when traffic crosses from that network to the interface which is connected to the ASA.

It might be that you can PING from the hosts on the network 192.168.0.0/24 to the ASA interface IP address 10.0.10.1 BUT COULDNT PING the network 192.168.0.0/24 from the ASA. A NAT being on the Router might explain this behaviour.

If the router isnt doing any sort of NAT and is just simply routing then it should work with the ASA configurations.

So for you to be able to ping the network behind the router, the router can not do any type of NAT for its network 192.168.0.0/24

Sorry..my current config is at the top post...I am away from my ASA right now and can't repost it. But the NAT starement is: NAT (inside) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1

I think you missunderstood me

To me it seems you have the following setup

- - 10.0.10.0/24 - - 192.168.0.0/24

And you are telling on the ASA that the network 192.168.0.0/24 is located behind the IP address 10.0.10.1 which to my understanding would be the interface IP address of the Router towards the ASA.

Now what I mean with the NAT is that I think your router is possibly doing a Dynamic NAT or Dynamic PAT between network 192.168.0.0/24 and 10.0.10.0/24 and therefore the router would block the PING.

What makes me think the router is doing NAT is because the PING doesnt work AND the fact that almost every basic router will by default do NAT between its LAN and WAN interfaces.

But again, I dont know how the router is configured but I dont see any problem on the ASA preventing from PINGing the network behind the router

You can add "icmp permit any inside" if you want but not sure if it will help in this case.

Ok...I misunderstood what you were saying....I'll check my router and see if I can fix it
