ASA 5505 - NAT inside to outside not working

[matthew.norman]

Hello all,

I have configured the following for any traffic going from inside the ASA to the outside:

object network INTERNAL-NETWORK

subnet 10.30.0.0 255.255.0.0

object network INTERNAL-NETWORK

nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface

For some reason it does not appear to work. If I ping from host 10.30.11.4 it doesn't apply any NAT rules and just carries on with the private address.

Am I missing any configuration?

Appreciate any help.

Matt

Hi;

There is no issue with reference to Nat configuration, the issue might be routing issue, firewall policy or interface configuration.

Can you share the firewall configuration if its possible?

Thanks & Best regards;

Hi;

The issue which I found in firewall is due to configure route. Take a example

route inside 10.30.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.30.11.1 1 (10.30.11.1 is the wrong gateway configure on firewall)

It should be - route inside 10.30.11.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.X (where X is the IP address of the device which have the routes of 10.30.X.X network. 

Please remove all the route 10.30.X.X network and re-add the route with proper gateway 10.1.1.X.

Thanks & Best regards;

Hi Ahmed,

I have amended the routes as suggested.

I still however can't get an outbound ping to follow the NAT rule.

On a trace it states that it does not match any NAT rules and just passes the packet with the private IP address.

I have even just tried applying NAT to the single host that is generating the ICMP request and it still doesn't work.

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt;

Can you share the output of packet tracer?

packet-tracer input inside tcp 10.30.11.X 80 8.8.8.8 80

Thanks & Best regards;

Hi Ahmed,

Unfortunately I am simulating this setup in Cisco Packet Tracer which doesn't have that command available.
