Cisco ASA: transparent mode / bridge group / DHCP traffic blocked

tom.fransen
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

 

I am stuck trying to get the following setup to work on an ASA5506 running in transparent mode.

We use this setup to filter some traffic between our device and the corporate network.

 

We use the ASA5506 (running firmware 9.14) in the following setup:

- Port 1: outside zone (Corporate network)

- Port 2: inside zone

- Port 3: inside2 zone

 

Goal:

- We want to apply some simple filtering rules to the traffic that comes into and goes out of the outside zone.

- Devices connected to port 2 and 3 can communicate without any restriction (no rules)

- The DHCP server is located on the outside zone so DHCP should be allowed.

 

Problem: The firewall however not allow the DHCP traffic to pass from port 1 to port 2 and 3

 

The logging shows:

Oct 22 2021 13:13:35: %ASA-7-710005: UDP request discarded from 0.0.0.0/68 to inside:255.255.255.255/67

 

Questions:

1. Why is the DHCP traffic blocked?

2. Can I have 3 ports that are part of the same BVI or is there another way to get the required functionality?

 

Regard,

T

 

Here is part of the configuration:

 

firewall transparent

interface BVI1 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 ipv6 enable interface GigabitEthernet1/1
nameif outside
bridge-group 1
security-level 0

where is the DHCP Server - add below rule and test it

 

access-list XXXXXXXXXXXX extended permit udp host 0.0.0.0 eq bootpc host 255.255.255.255 eq bootps  (XXXXX  direction in or out)
