Hello -
I am trying to open up ping through my ASA. The ASA is connected via L3 link on the inside interface to a L3 switch. Same thing on the outside
interface. I am trying to ping switch to switch via the ASA.
I created the ACLs as follows
access-list outside-in permit extended icmp any any echo
access-list outside-in permit extended icmp any any echo-reply
access-list inside-out permit extended icmp any any echo
access-list inside-out permit extedned icmp any any echo-reply
I applied this ACL to the interfaces
access-group outside-in in interface outside
access-group inside-out in interface inside
I also enabled icmp inspection under the global service policy.
inspect icmp
inspect icmp error
In addition I opened up icmp to the ASA interfaces
icmp permit any outside
icmp permit any inside
Pinging to/from the ASA inside/outside interfaces works fine.
However, when I try to go switch to switch via the ASA it fails. Outbound, I see the echo-request come in on the inside interface and be forwarded to the outside interface in the icmp debug trace output. But no echo-request from the inside L3 switch interface.
Now when I ping from the inside L3 switch to the outside L3 switch I do not see any echo-request come in on inside interface. The "icmp debug trace" output has nothing. So what other things can I look at that would prevent echo-request from coming into the ASA when the destination is on the inside? I can ping the ASA's inside interface from the inside L3 switch. I see those echo-request/replies no problem.
Thanks

Update: I looked at the routing configuration on the inside L3 switch. There was a problem with the config. All is working now. ICMP through the ASA in both directions.

Hi,
what does a debug ip icmp on switches tells you?
Maybe you have a routing problem on the switch you're pinging or an ACL blocking echo-requests/replies.

Alain, yes thanks for the reply. Bascially, the L3 switch did not have routing enabled. Just a couple static routes tracking the upstream router using an IP SLA. Once I enabled routing the IP SLA began to operate which uses
icmp echo. I also was able to finally ping manually via the ASA from switch to switch.
So this was not an ASA problem. The steps above work for allowing icmp through the ASA.

Chuck
