Simple PAT/NAT on asa

[Snakekick]

Hello,

i have a easy setup.

an outside interface with the ip address 172.21.241.205

and a ssh server on the inside interface with the address 192.168.242.200

i create a network object :

object network FileServer
host 192.168.242.200
nat (inside,outside) static interface service tcp 22 22

then

access-list outside permit tcp any 192.168.242.200 255.255.255.255 eq 22

access-group outside in interface outside

but now when a client try to access the server i get this error:

Can you post a "sh nat".

sorry for the delay..

Manual NAT Policies (Section 1)
1 (inside) to (outside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 324345, untranslate_hits = 566120
2 (inside) to (Private) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 874, untranslate_hits = 0
3 (Private) to (inside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 106, untranslate_hits = 0

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)

1 (any) to (outside) source static FileServer interface service tcp www www
translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

[Jon Marshall · Accepted solution]

The problem is it is hitting rule 1 in section 1 so it never gets to section 2 where your rule is and you can see this because there are no hits.

So either move your static NAT rule to section 1 and make sure it is first in the list (you can use line numbers) or move rule 1 in section to section 3 using the "after-auto" keyword.

As a general rule you would usually put the dynamic NAT general rules in section 3 to avoid this type of thing but note that moving it to section 3 will affect service temporarily whereas moving your static NAT statement won't as it isn't working anyway at the moment.

There is a great document on this site explaining all of this and a lot more, I'll see if it can find it for you.

something is still not work :(

sh nat

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (any) to (outside) source static FileServer interface service tcp www www
translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

Manual NAT Policies (Section 3)
1 (inside) to (IB2_Private) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 4, untranslate_hits = 0
2 (IB2_Private) to (inside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
3 (inside) to (outside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 1796, untranslate_hits = 977

[Jon Marshall]

In your original post you are giving access to port 22 but in the NAT statement it is for port 80 ?

Can you clarify and also can you run a packet tracer to see where it is failing.

[toc:faq]

sorry 80 is correct.

According to the output it is working ie. it matches the correct NAT rule and is allowed through.

Are you still not seeing any hits on that rule in a "sh nat" ?

Jon

[Snakekick]

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (any) to (outside) source static FileServer interface service tcp www www
translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 7

Manual NAT Policies (Section 3)
1 (IB2_Private) to (inside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 7, untranslate_hits = 0
2 (inside) to (outside) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 8073, untranslate_hits = 3659
3 (inside) to (IB2_Private) source dynamic any interface
translate_hits = 4, untranslate_hits = 0

[Jon Marshall]

So it is working according to that.

Is the server on the same IP subnet as the inside interface and is the default gateway of the server the ASA ?

Jon

[Snakekick]

but this look like some thing is still wrong 

Phase: 4

Subtype: Resolvecisco 
Result: ALLOW
Config:
Additional Information:
found next-hop 172.21.241.129 using egress ifc outside

[Jon Marshall]

Phase 2 picks the right interface and if you look at the very end it is saying the inside interface is the output interface.

Are you sure there is not a problem with the server ?

Jon

[Snakekick]

thank you. the asa work.

my server has a nic in the same subnet like the asa outgoing interface ;)

thanks for you help

now all work

[mickyq]

try looking at the xlate to see if its using the right one;

show xlate local 192.168.242.200
