Hi,

I have a 5525 firewall in routed mode in HA configuration which was initially being used as a router (i.e. hosts gateway was firewall). There were quite a large number of issues with routing and NATTing which I have addresses but there are still some issues that are bothering me.

So the setup at the moment is

HOSTS (VLAN 1,2,100 etc)

| |

Connected to Layer 3 Switch (the uplink port is trunk with required VLANs tagged)

| |

Connected to ASA Ether0/1

| |

ISP Router (ASA E0/0)

So, to clear a few things.. InterVLAN routing is enabled on Layer 3 switch and traffic does not traverse the firewall if I want to talk between hosts connected to VLAN 1, 2 or 100.

On the Layer 3 switch the default gateway is the firewall and all hosts (physical or virtual) connected to Layer 2 have their gateways as the HSRP address of the Layer3 switch.

From a host connected to VLAN 1 (10.0.0.x) or VLAN 2 (10.0.2.x) I am able to talk to outside world (internet) and also internally (Layer3 doing that for me).

From a host on VLAN 100 (10.10.1.10) I am unable to connect to internet but can ping internal hosts on VLAN 1 & 2. The default gateway of this host is the Layer3 switch (10.10.1.1). If I change the default gateway to interface of the firewall (10.10.1.254) I can get to internet !

Obviously the desire is to use Layer3 switch to handle the routing element and ASA which sits behind the switch to do firewalling business.

So here are my list of issues. I would appreciate if these can be addressed one at a time.

1) My main desire is to use the Firewall to restrict access to new production VLANs. Note that there is only 1 uplink to the core switch with all the VLANs tagged. VLAN 1 & 2 are in use at the moment and these won't be changed but going forward all new VLANs should be firewalled. Is this possible looking at the current setup ?

2) So in order to work in the new world I need VLAN100 to work. However, as I stated, when I assign a host (10.10.1.10) in VLAN100 an IP address and gateway address of the Layer3 switch, I am unable to access internet. VLAN100 is a connected network on the firewall and I am not sure why I am getting routing failed error.

looking at logs I get the below from the firewall

Hi,

If i understand the issue correctly , You have hosts on VLAN 1 and 2 and 100 for example.

The hosts on 1 and 2 VLAN's have the D/G as the switch. These are not going thru the ASA device for inter VLAN communication.

Now , u configure the D/G as ASA for hosts in Vlan 100 and the internet does not work.

Possibly because of the Proxy ARP issue for the Router and ASA device acting as the Layer 3 Hops in this case.

I would say best design would be to have ASA act as the Layer 3 Hop and act as the device for Inter Vlan routing as well.

Question:- I have on average in excess of 60,000 connections & an average of 600 NAT XLATES on the firewall. Is this correct ? This can only be answered by looking at the "show xlate count" and "show conn count" , "show perfmon" outputs.

3) I have on average in excess of 60,000 connections & an average of 600 NAT XLATES on the firewall. Is this correct ?

4) Possible Scan & SYN Attack rate average at 120, 35 :- This can be ignored as these stats are polled using the threat detection.

5) quite frequently I get the below messages on Log

Jul 27 2015 12:18:42 162.13.132.32 33024 10.0.2.80 56735 Teardown TCP connection 173554186 for INTERNET-WAN:162.13.132.32/33024 to DEFAULT:10.0.2.80/56735 duration 0:00:00 bytes 3604 TCP Reset-I

This would be seen if the RESET is being sent by the device on the Higher Sec Zone.

7) Getting the below messages often

Jul 27 2015 12:53:50 305006 10.0.0.97 216.58.208.46 regular translation creation failed for icmp src any:10.0.0.97 dst INTERNET-

These should be normal as these are generated depending on the traffic rate on the ASA device.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Vibhor,

Correct. Hosts on VLAN 1 & 2 have their gateway as layer3 switch. With this setup everything for the hosts work absolutely fine. I.e. local networks are reachable and internet is accessible.

Now keeping in mind that I have a layer3 switch which is routing traffic internally, when I add a new host on VLAN100 and assign that host a static IP address with gateway IP of the Layer3 switch, I can access all local networks i.e. hosts on VLAN1, 2 etc but I cannot access internet.

If I change the gateway address of host in VLAN100 to the firewall I can connect to the internet but then unable to connect to anything on VLAN1 or 2. The issue with connecting to local subnets can be addressed by possibly enforcing state-by on VLAN 100.

I do not want to use ASA as the gateway as it has a backplane bandwidth of 650MB and some of my applications are very chatty and thus will eat up all the bandwidth.

So question is why a host on VLAN100 is unable to connect to internet. From a routing point of view, this host has a gateway address of the switch. Switch has a default route of the firewall which has a default route of internet router.

Do you see any abnormality in the config ? I have worked with Sonicwalls, Juniper firewalls & checkpoints and not sure if I have used the right syntax.

Help much appreciated.

Also, I am seeing these messages quite frequently

3 Jul 29 2015 16:25:50 305006 10.0.0.X 216.58.208.46 regular translation creation failed for icmp src any:10.0.0.97 dst INTERNET-WAN:216.58.208.46 (type 3, code 3)

I've done a lookup on the public IP address and all IP addresses in question are registered to Google.
