Not able to reach DMZ host from inside hosts

[rao.anirudhk]

Hi I am new to ASA configuration. I wanted to configure a web server on a DMZ. I have followed Cisco configuration guide to set this up. The DMZ is stable and has internet access. Also the inside hosts have internet access. But I am not able to ping the DMZ host from my inside host also I am not able to ping the inside host from the ASA. Surprisingly the inside host is able to reach the internet. My inside host as an IP of 192.168.5.4 and the web server on DMZ has an IP of 192.168.10.11.

My Config is is attached to this discussion.

Also I have run the packet tracer and it says the re is no drop and all flows are allowed:

Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to make sure that the inside hosts are in communication with the DMZ host and vice-versa

Hi,

Can you enable "fixup protocol icmp" command and then test this ?

Aditya

I am also experiencing similar issue with my host from the inside interface of the ASA unable to communicate with a host i setup in the DMZ interface. From the Outside interface i am able to reach the host in the DMZ interface however from the inside interface i am having problems. 

I also ran packet tracer and it had no drops and allowed both my access-list rule and my NAT entry.

@Aditya : i will try the "fixup protocol icmp" command you suggested.

Hi Dapo,

Sure thing.

I have ran into another problem, the inside host is able to reach the DMZ but the DMZ is not able to reach the inside host. This is my config :

I am simply not able to solve why the trafiic is being denied from DMZ to the inside host.

Can you please help me out

Hi,

Under the interface config of DMZ:

interface Vlan10
no forward interface Vlan1

You have no forward interface configured, please remove the same and you should be good.

Hi Aditya,

Thank you so much for helping me out, Really solved a lot of problems for me. So I went ahead and created a web dispatcher on my DMZ machine, but it is not accessible from the outside or the internet. This is the last step. This is my config:

Hi,

Under the interface config of DMZ:

interface Vlan10
no forward interface Vlan1

You have no forward interface configured, please remove the same using the no form of the command and you should be good.

Aditya

That worked!!

Thanks Aditya, you're awesome!!

[rao.anirudhk]

Thanks Aditya, that solved the problem. Just as a note also my Windows machine firewall was blocking the pings, not sure why.

Really appreciate your help,
