Modbus TCP Through ASA 5505

Level 1

Greetings,

I am trying to communicate two IoT devices that use ModbusTCP to communicate through an ASA 5505.

The topology is below. ** I must say that I am not an expert in firewalls and I have been educating myself reading the configuration guidelines and the terminal commands help. **

I am specifying the IoTClient to route via ip address 192.168.1.6. I don't have any Default Gateway IP address configured in any of the edge nodes.

My understanding is that traffic coming from a higher security zone (inside) to a lower security zone (outside) is allowed to pass through by default (no restrictions), so I am not configuring any ACLs for the incoming traffic from the IoTServer in the inside zone.

I can't get any traffic through. Below is the ASA running-configuration. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Since you dont specify gw in node 

Add this command and check again 

arp  permit-nonconnected
