PIX 501

[fcatalao]

This is my situation.

PIX 501 connected to Alcatel ADSL router. The Alcatel router is connected to the internet (fix ip add) and performing PAT. In between the alcatel and pix outside interface I´m using add 192.168.100.x.

In my pix I have the following;

names

name 10.51.225.2 Smtp_Server

ip address outside 192.168.100.253 255.255.255.0

ip address inside 10.51.225.253 255.255.255.0

global (outside) 1 192.168.100.100

nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

static (inside,outside) 192.168.100.253 Smtp_Server netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

When I enter this information first time I can recieve mail from outside. After pix reload my mail ceases to work.

Can ayone tell why?

Regards

Fernando

I know this sounds basic...but you are doing a 'write mem' after putting in your config, so that its saved after a potential reload ??

Hi jlebaron,

Yes obviously I am. But I found the problem.

I changed line "static (inside,outside) 192.168.100.253 Smtp_Server netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0"

to

static (inside,outside) tcp 192.168.100.253 smtp Smtp_Server smtp netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Thanks anyway

Regards

Fernando
