Packet Tracer ASA Help

NoviceMember
Level 1
Level 1

Howdy 'yall,

I am currently a student who is far over his head. But, with a professor that won't answer emails or help in class, I've come to the community board. For my question, I am using Packet Tracer, not real life gear.

Here is my current topography (Ignore Server-PT DHCP Server, forgot to remove it)help1.png -

 

I've tried to include as much detail as I can with my current status. 

My current goal is to:

1.) figure out how to ping the ASA1 and PC5 with PC1/2.

My future goal is to:
1.) create a functional inside network that has access to the DMZ but not outside network.

2.) create an outside network that can access the DMZ but not inside network.

3.) create an internal network that holds 5 different 'buildings' (interconnected routers using EIGRP) that can also draw from the DHCPD.

 

So, I suppose this is a roundabout way of asking - Why can my PC2 and PC1 not ping a single thing, yet pull from the ASA1 DHCP? (They cant ping fa0/0 on Router0, nor 172.16.0.1)

PC1 config: IP:172.12.0.12 || Subnet: 255.255.0.0 || Gateway: 172.16.0.1

 

Thank you to anyone who attempts to help me with this incoherent mess.

 

From a student over his head,

NoviceMember.

Hello,

 

the easiest and fastes way to get help is to post the Packet Tracer project file (zip it first otherwise you cannot upload)...

If PC1 and PC2 are successfully receiving IP addresses from ASA1’s DHCP but cannot ping Router0 or other devices, the issue is likely related to routing or ACLs rather than addressing, since DHCP works at Layer 2/3 for IP assignment. In Packet Tracer, this usually means the ASA or routers either don’t have proper routes back to the PCs, the PCs are on a different subnet without a default gateway pointing to ASA1, or there are access-lists/firewall rules blocking ICMP. To fix it, ensure that each device has the correct default gateway, that the ASA allows ICMP from the inside network, and that Router0 has a route back to the PC subnets; once routing and ACLs are aligned, PC1 and PC2 should be able to ping ASA1, Router0, and other devices in the network.
