ASDM Access from a different sub-interface/vlan

Zaleon
Level 1
Level 1

I did a quick Google search but couldn't really find anything with the terms I searched for, but maybe someone here knows how. Is there any way to access the ASDM from a different subinterface/vlan?

 

For example my ASA is connected internally to an L3 Cisco 3650 switch with 5 VLANS configured on the switch and ASA. I will have all my PC devices on VLAN10 with 10.10.1.x IP addresses, but the ASA wouldn't allow me to use that address for the Management1/1 as it is assigned to the GigabigEthernet1/2.10 subinterface for VLAN10. So I gave the Management1/1 interface and SFR a 10.5.1.x IP address, but then I can't access ASDM from any of my PCs on VLAN10.

 

Is there a solution to fix this problem?

 

My complete ASA config is below.

So after taking a break for a while from this, I finally fixed it using some previous post from you (Marvin) and this PeteNetLive website which has alot of good information on configuring ASAs. https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001173

 

I ended up removing the ip address, nameif and security level from y ASA's management interface. I then went back into the Firepower setup using 

session sfr

command and changed its IP address to one that is on my VLAN10 such as 10.10.1.3/24. I think took an Ethernet cable plugged it into the Management port on the ASA and connected the other end to one of my 3650 switch ports. I assigned this switch port as an access port on VLAN10. Once this was complete I had no problems accessing the ASA or Firepower through the ASDM application.

You can either allow ASDM access via the VLAN 10 subinterface directly or else add a management-only route to that subnet from the management interface.

 

By default an ASA only has a single routing table. So your traffic from VLAN 10 may reach the management interface but then the ASA will try to reply out the VLAN 10 subinterface and the tcp 3-way handshake will never complete successfully.

And how would I do either of those?

1. http <subnet> <mask> <nameif>

2. route management 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <gateway>

 

(Assuming the nameif for your Management interfaces is "management".)

 

More info:

 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa95/configuration/general/asa-95-general-config/route-overview.html#concept_40C0C8DE2C1247319250B9F7706C54A5

Actually I tried this and when I do the routing, what should the gateway be? The address of the management interface and the address of the VLAN return the same error message.

 

ERROR: Invalid next hop address 10.10.1.1, it matches our IP address.

So I tried changing the management interface to ip address 10.5.1.5/24 and then adding

route management 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.5.1.1

That was accepted, but I still can't access ASDM on 10.5.1.5 from my laptop on VLAN 10 (10.10.1.25). 

Looks like a routing issue still.

 

Does your laptop's gateway know how to reach the 10.5.1.0/24 subnet?

Not that I can tell. When I do show route on the ASA I get:

Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2

       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, + - replicated route
Gateway of last resort is 10.55.1.1 to network 0.0.0.0

When I do show route management I get:

Routing Table: mgmt-only

       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area

       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, + - replicated route
Gateway of last resort is not set

Even though it shows in the running config this:

route management 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.5.1.1 1

You may configure a manage vlan on you L3 Switch and connect one access port to your Fw.

Hi Jose,

  In that case, would I create a VLAN 5 for example on the switch then make a sub interface on the ASA as GigabitEthernet1/3.5? Would I need to do any routing on the ASA?

Mmm sorry,  I didn't think on traffic inspection.
