folks
i have a basic nat query on an asa 8.2 i'm hoping you can help with
i've a dynamic nat to translate all traffic from the inside to outside to the external interface's IP
i also have a number of inside to outside exempts for some public IPs i have on the inside
no nat-control is configured
my query is this
when i try to initiate a connection from an outside server to an inside server it fails and packet tracer tells me it due to nat (i have an ACL in place to allow traffic)
if i configure a nat exemption from (outside, inside) if fails
if i configure a nat exemption from (inside, outside) if works
why do i need the nat when no nat-control is enabled
thanks to anyone taking the time to read this or to post a reply
greatly appreciated
