ASA5506X is not bridging traffic

Hello!

 I am trying to configure Cisco ASA5506X in transparent mode using bridge groups. I follow all the official guidelines, but ASA does not bridge traffic... 

 

The layout is:

 

Host (10.200.80.7) ---------- ASA Gi1/2.200 (vlan 200) --- bridge group 200 (10.200.80.2) --- ASA Gi1/1.59 (vlan 59) ----------- Gateway (10.200.80.1).

 

Test results:

  • 10.200.80.7 can ping 10.200.80.2 and cannot ping 10.200.80.1
  • 10.200.80.2 can ping anything.
  • 10.200.80.1 can ping 10.200.80.2 and cannot ping 10.200.80.7

 

The configuration is below.

 

ciscoasa# sh run

Stanislav,

I see both interfaces have security level 100. try adding following command.

same-security-traffic permit inter-interface

Ashish

Produced no effect.

Interface gig 1/1 and 1/2 do they connect directly to host or a switch. As you have sub-interface with VLAN 200 and 59 make sure interfaces on switch are trunk ports and VLAN 200 and 59 are allowed.

Ashish

They are connected to a switch. The interfaces on the switch are configured correctly, otherwise ASA could not ping its neoghbors, but it can, as I wrote before.

Can you check logs of SFR ? Or try 

policy-map global_policy

class global-class

  no sfr fail-open

Above step is to disable SFR features on ASA, This is just for testing.

Ashish

Hi all!

I managed to locate the problem, and it looks the same as here:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11426276/asa-5505-843-not-responding-arp-requests-different-subnet

The problem is that ASA blocks ARP replies. When I ping a host from inside to outside, the host sends out an ARP request. With a packet sniffer, I see that the request reaches the host (10.200.80.1 in my case), and the host replies, but this reply never reaches the ping inititator. Any idea how to solve it? I am currently thinking it is a bug of 9.5(2) and planning to upgrade to the latest version.

Could you please try adding icmp inspection and see if that helps.

class-map inspection_default
match default-inspection-traffic

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default

 inspect icmp

service-policy global_policy global

-AJ

Hi Ajay,

Done. Problem not solved... 

Could you please run the following debugs and also attach the syslogs from the ASA:

debug icmp trace

and take level 6 syslogs.

-AJ

Hello Ajay,

debug icmp trace showed no ICMP requests. And I decided to go down to ARP level. See my posts below.

level 6 logging showed nothing interesting, no drops.
