NAT/PAT and IPSEC

[ROBERTO TACCON]

IOS router with a static configured PAT from public to private and nat for internet use

!

interface FastEthernet0

description # LAN connection

ip address 172.16.189.254 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

!

interface Dialer0

description # internet connection

ip address negotiated

ip nat outside

crypto map ipsec

!

ip nat inside source list 199 interface Dialer0 overload

ip nat inside source static tcp 172.16.189.1 3389 interface Dialer0 3389

!

and on the same router an IPSEC tunnel between 172.16.189.0/24 to 10.10.10.0/24 configured with the following acl

!

access-list 199 permit ip 172.16.189.0 0.0.0.255 any

access-list 199 deny ip any any log

!

when i try to connect from host 10.10.10.1 to the 172.16.189.1 all ports are ok

but

if i try to connect on the port 3389 the nat start. How can i modify this NAT order of Operation within this configuration ?

Thanks in advance.

Please refer to the document http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/556/5.html on the order of operation.

Your problem is that the static NAT always takes precedence over the access-list based NAT.

I had exactly the same problem when using some static NATs with some Cisco VPN clients connecting to the same router.

You need to do this:

(1) Create a loopback interface, and give it any spare address. The subnet mask is unimportant.

(2) Create an access-list like this:

ip access-list extended no-nat-3389

permit tcp host 172.16.189.1 eq 3389 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255

(3) Create a route-map, so that packets from 172.16.189.1/3389 are directed to the new loopback interface:

route-map port3389-to-loopback permit 10

match ip address no-nat-3389

set ip interface loopback0

(4) Apply the route-map to the interface:

interface FastEthernet0

ip route-cache policy

ip policy route-map port3389-to-loopback

DO NOT apply "ip nat inside" to the loopback interface.

The way this works is that the route-map directs packets from 172.16.189.1/3389 to the loopback interface. The loopback interface is not marked as a NAT-inside interface, and so NAT is not applied.

I had some trouble getting this to work. You may need to ensure that the loopback interface is included in the ACL for the VPN tunnel.

BUT now i can't ping fromt the HUB LAN to the SPOKE LAN !!!

- ping from 172.24.64.2 vs 172.16.189.2 OK

- ping from 172.16.189.2 vs 172.24.64.2 DOESN'T WORK

If i remove the policy map on the spoke ALL is OK again !

Very old thread but I see that it doesn't look to have been answered. I'll leave this guide here for future reference. Here's how you do this guys.
