VPN trough ASA5510

billetj09
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have a problem that I have some trouble to understand and find a solution.

I am using a ASA5510 for 2 months now about to be between an internet connection and a network of multiple VLANs, corresponding to multiple companies sharing the same internet connection.

One of this companie has problem with its VPN connection. For couple of weeks, it works, and then no more. When I am plugging them directly on the internet, their VPN is working, but when I put the Firewall, no connection.

They are using a windows client and it is normally PPTP (GRE) connection.

On my configuration that you can see below, I am using the command "inspect PPTP" and have also tried the command "inspect ipsec-pass-thru".

But still, no connection to their remote server.

Anyone have an idea ?

Here is the config file :

Just tossing this out there, but I have a feeling that since you've implemented the static NAT translation and are now using the interface IP for both the static NAT and the PAT, the global NAT xlate entry (created by initiating traffic from 10.3.74.69) is 'overriding' the PAT xlate entry. So in a sense return inbound traffic is being caught by the global xlate entry and thus being directed to the wrong server in VLAN_ZZZ.

Do you have the ability to use a unique public IP address for either the static NAT entry or the global entry, other than the interface ip?

You have the config:-

access-group Internet_access_in_1 in interface Internet

However there is no acl in the posted config of this description?

Even though you are allowing the PPTP to bypass the firewall inspection - it's generally a good idea to allow the specific protocols & TCP/UDP ports thru your perimeter ACL.

Also there is no NAT statement - how are the remote users connecting to the server? What is the IP address?

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

So, what I have done earlier yesterday is adding some rules to open the traffic for that VLAN.I have maybe forgot to tell it but my problem is around the VLAN YYY.

********************

object-group protocol DM_INLINE_PROTOCOL_2
  protocol-object ip
  protocol-object icmp
  protocol-object udp
  protocol-object tcp
  protocol-object gre

access-list VLAN_YYY_access_in extended permit object-group DM_INLINE_PROTOCOL_2 any any

************************

For the NAT, it is using "nat (VLAN_YYY) 101 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0"

Now, what I can see in the log is :

*******************

I think I have located the problem but I don't understand why it is doing that.

So the company YYY is on a VLAN with network address 10.3.75.64 255.255.255.192.

I have another company using another kind of VPN. Let say company ZZZ which are on the network 10.3.74.64 255.255.255.192, and for that company ZZZ I have on my firewall a static NAT rule "static (VLAN_ZZZ,DNA_Internet) interface 10.3.74.69 netmask 255.255.255.255 ".

All the other company are using dynamic rules for NAT.

As we can see on the log, for YYY company, until the "Build outbond GRE", it is using good inside address. But for "Build unbound GRE connection", it is starting to use the ip address from ZZZ company, the ip address defined in the rule.

I don;t understand how this is possible.

OK so the problem is with VLAN YYY - but where is the PPTP VPN termination device?  Where are people trying to connect from and two?

You cannot have someone on the "internet" try and initiate an external connection to an internal host on a dynamic NAT IP.

The client is in my VLAN YYY and he is trying to connect to his VPN end point in his own company in another countrie. It has worked before and stopped to work like 3weeks ago. I would say that it stopped to work at about the same time I have created this static NAT rule for company ZZZ.

OK - can yout post the below, remove sensitive information:-

acl applied to VLAN YYY interface

acl applied to VLAN ZZZ interface

NAT statements

Dynamic NAT statements

Lets start with ACL

Hello,

So I have made a change based on what you've said :

static (VLAN_ZZZ,DNA_Internet) 1.2.3.5 10.3.74.69 netmask 255.255.255.255

1.2.3.5 being another public IP address, not the one from the interface.

Now I am waiting the feedback from the company.

Thank you

Thank you very much, it is working now.
