Solved: Re: Failed to block SIP traffic using ACL on ASA

Hamdi Kadri · ‎11-03-2017

I have trouble blocking SIP traffic that crosses my ASA appliances in both HQ (ASA 5515-X) and Branch (ASA 5510) offices :

The goal is to block all traffic from the IP-Phone 10.1.16.7 to the CUCM1 Subscriber 192.168.150.2 which will make it register with the CUCM2 Subscriber 192.168.156.1.

When I apply the ACL though, traffic still passes through the Branch ASA !

access-list inside_access_in line 1 extended deny ip host 10.1.16.7 host 192.168.150.2
access-group inside_access_in in interface inside

I tried to block the traffic using the HQ ASA and it didn't work either.

Is there something that I am missing while trying this configuration?

ASA version: Branch 9.1(4) & HQ 9.6(2)

UPDATE: I was able to block the traffic using an extended ACL in my LAN Switch.

It could be that the ASA already had an existing connection for the traffic after you applied the ACL entry for that phone. Due to order of operations for ASA, if there was an existing connection for that flow the ACL check is skipped. Might be an idea to clear any connections on the ASA for tha phone IP then test.

It might help to see the config of the Branch ASA.

One thing to note also is that if you want to block access to only that server you should add another line on your ACL (at end) allowing all other traffic otherwise you will block everything (if applied properly) as there will be an implicit deny at end of ACL.

Thanks @GRANT3779, the implicit "permit ip any any" is configured already and I have no trouble with that.

Good, can we see output of

sh access-list

and

sh run access-group

What Interfaces are all configured on the ASA?

Hamdi Kadri · ‎11-03-2017

Sorry for the long output. Notice that the ACL in question is the first one applied to the inside interface. Yet SIP traffic is not dropped to 192.168.150.2

It looks like the specific ACL line for your SIP traffic is set to inactive / disabled.

access-list inside_access_in line 1 extended deny ip host 10.1.16.7 host 192.168.150.2 (hitcnt=14) (inactive)

Hamdi Kadri · ‎11-03-2017

I am aware of that, I set it inactive after the test failed.

GRANT3779 · ‎11-03-2017

What makes you think that SIP traffic is getting through to CUCM1?

Is it maybe hitting CUCM2 first and then being routed back over the WAN to CUCM1?

Hamdi Kadri · ‎11-03-2017

I am sure of that because:

1. The phone stays registered with CUCM1, which can be verified on the phone and via CUCM web interface;

2. Traffic passing through ASA is captured with ASDM packet capture.

GRANT3779 · ‎11-03-2017

It could be that the ASA already had an existing connection for the traffic after you applied the ACL entry for that phone. Due to order of operations for ASA, if there was an existing connection for that flow the ACL check is skipped. Might be an idea to clear any connections on the ASA for tha phone IP then test.

Hamdi Kadri · ‎11-04-2017

That should be it! I tried again this morning with the Branch ASA and after clearing the connections nothing passes through the appliance. Thanks a lot.

Good tip @GRANT3779

When changing ACL, "clear conn" (or at least clear conn for the specific host(s) affected).

When changing NAT rules, "clear xlate".
