Static NAT problem ASA 5525

[szczyrk80]

Hi All,

I have a problem with setting up static mapping on 5525 with the latest software,

Configuration attached.

Briefly, that has been implemented on ASA5525 object network sqldr host 192.168.10.205 access-list acl_out extended permit tcp any object sqldr eq 1433 object network sqldr nat (inside,outside) static 158.69.20.23 access-group acl_out in interface outside When checking access-list acl_out I can see some hits when trying telneting that server from outside: access-list acl_out line 4 extended permit tcp any object sqldr eq 1433 (hitcnt=3) 0x6b735618 access-list acl_out line 4 extended permit tcp any host 192.168.10.205 eq 1433 (hitcnt=3) 0x6b735618

Checking what's my IP on server .10.205 still showing global outside address 158.69.20.20 instead of 158.69.20.23

Also can not telnet that server from any external IP on port 1433

Any advice much appreciated

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Sebastian

The main-problem is that your NAT-order is wrong. The dynamic PAT always has to go to the end. You can correct it the following way:

no nat (inside,outside) source dynamic Generic_All interface
nat (inside,outside) after-auto source dynamic Generic_All interface

Hi Karsten,

That works like a charm,

Server now is getting public it as wanted,

However, telnet connection from outside on port 1433 is still failing,

As before I can see hits in access-list, 

access-list acl_out extended permit tcp any object sqldr eq 1433

object network sqldr
nat (inside,outside) static 158.69.20.23

nat (inside,outside) after-auto source dynamic Generic_All interface
access-group acl_out in interface outside

I have checked that port externally and internally and it is still blocked despite heaving access-list in place

Obviously, firewall on that server etc. all disabled

Is there anything to do with access list?

Thank you,

You can use packet-tracer to find the reason:

packet-tracer input outside tcp 1.2.3.4 1234 158.69.20.23 1433

And test the port from the firewall:

ping tcp 192.168.10.205 1433

Hi Karsten,

Thank you for that, my results below:

I used my external ip: 119.158.174.195 (laptop at home)

Do you think that can be a problem:

NAT divert to egress interface inside
Untranslate 158.69.20.23/1433 to 192.168.10.205/1433

For interall server IP: 192.168.10.205 results below:

That's what is expected. The ASA would handle the connection as needed. You need to continue troubleshooting on the server.

Great, thank you

All working as expected, there is no response on port 1433 because nothing is using it

Creating allow access list for rdp 3389 works like a charm

Thank you for your help !!!
