Port forwarding with PIX 501

[blazing10]

I'm trying to get my PIX 501 to forward traffic on port 1412 with both TCP and UDP to use Direct Connect, and the problem I'm having is I can connect to a DC hub, but cannot make connections with users.

I've added the following to the factory default config with partial success:

access-list outside permit tcp any host 192.168.100.20 eq 1412

access-list outside permit udp any host 192.168.100.20 eq 1412

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 1412 192.168.100.20 1412 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 1412 192.168.100.20 1412 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

In the debugging log I setup for the access list rule I these type of errors:

Deny tcp src outside other.users.ip.addr/3099 dst inside my.public.ip.addr/1412 by access-group "access_outside_in"

Tcp request discarded other.users.ip.addr/2362 to outside my.public.ip.addr/45961

I'm pretty lost as to why it's not working when I think it should. I've tried multiple ways, opening port ranges, and no luck getting a sucsessful forwarding of the port.

You have two ACL's on the outside interface, one for TCP and one for UDP but your static does not match the UDP ACL!!

Try changing to:

access-list outside permit tcp any host 192.168.100.20 eq 1412

access-list outside permit udp any host 192.168.100.20 eq 1412

access-group outside in interface outside

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 1412 192.168.100.20 1412 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

static (inside,outside) udp interface 1412 192.168.100.20 1412 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Save with: write mem and issue: clear xlate

Hope this helps.

[OK]

It's the default with just those lines added, and a clear xlate afterwords.

[jmia · Accepted solution]

Can you change you outside ACL to the following:

access-list outside permit tcp any host eq 1412

access-list outside permit udp any host eq 1412

access-group outside in interface outside

Again save with: write mem and also issue: clear xlate

Let me know if this works.

That works!

Can you explain how or why that command works versus the standard one that should work?

Also, thanks for your help Jay.
