Hello. I've been trying to resolve some "Deny ICMP reserve path check" messages and I'm coming up short. Can someone solve this mystery?
I've got an ASA 5516-X connected on the outside interface at W.X.Y.Z and the inside interface as 192.168.4.1/24. My default NAT entry any interface IPs going to the outside interface to W.X.Y.Z. The inside interface connects to a Cisco access switch and VLAN with no ip or routing. I've got a PC at 192.168.4.2 on that same VLAN. Everything seems to be working great.
If I run "tracert -h 1 8.8.8.8" ("-h 1" means only take one hop and then end) on my PC I immediately get three of these in my ASA log:
Deny ICMP reverse path check from 192.168.4.1 to [W.X.Y.Z] on interface outside
It's clear why I get three; tracert is trying three times. But, the tracert actually works and I see 192.168.4.1 as my next hop. Plus, I see the blocked packet in a packet capture. A NAT translation has occurred.
Again, I don't have any issues with how my network is functioning, I just have these messages that I can't explain, and I wonder if I have something misconfigured. So, can someone provide some theories about what's happening and/or an explanation of something I don't understand? TIA.
