Unable to access hosts behind ASA

[malw11163]

Hi All,

I have a ASA 5505 configured as a VPN server, when connecting the connection is successful,
however the remote users are unable to access the hosts on the LAN behind the ASA.
Please find my config below and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which specific subnet and/or ip address do you try to access behind the ASA?

A few things to check:

1) Did you try to ping? If you do, please add the following:

policy-map global_policy
      class inspection_default

          inspect icmp

Also, from the config, it doesn't seem that the policy-map has been applied: service-policy global_policy global

2) Please add "management-access inside", and test if you can ping the inside interface ip address of the ASA when you are connected to the VPN?

3) Also add "crypto isakmp nat-traversal 25" so if the VPN client is behind a PAT device, ESP will be encapsulated to UDP/4500.

Please advise the result after adding and testing the above.

If it still doesn't work, please connect through VPN, and obtain the output of the following from the ASA:

- show crypto isa sa

- show crypto ipsec sa

Bring up the ASA GUI and go into Configuration and into sub-tab Device Setup

Go over to Routing and down to Static Routes.

Add a route to your inside interface

ip address: 0.0.0.0

netmask: 0.0.0.0

Gateway IP: (the gateway address of your inside interface)

Under options select "Tunneled, default tunnel gateway for VPN traffic)

Click apply,  then save the config.

Disconnect and reconnect your vpn.

PS:  Also upgrade your ASA code.  Version 7.x is horrible. 

Don't even bother trying to work with the ASA until you move into version 8.x

Some tips for trouble-shooting:

Let's assume you have IPsec SAs establishes cusessfully.

Most common reasons: NAT-T not enabled, ESP blocked, routing issues for the VPN packets

or acls somewhere on the end-to-end path blocking packets.

You have at least three networks on the "inside":

196.0.x0.0/24, 10.129.0.0/24 and 10.140.0.0/24

There is also another Layer 3 device involved, which routes the 10.x.x.x networks.

Do you have a matching route for the vpn-clients on that device so that VPN return-traffic

arrives on the ASA?

verify routing on the client (secured routes should either be 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 or the

internal network(s), depending on your split tunnel settings) and verify routing on the ASA side

(hosts on the asa side, the layer 3-device, hosts on the10.x.x.x networks):

verify packets encrypted/decrypted (in this example packets are sent to the tunnel but nothing returns):

compare these numbers with the ipsec sa on the ASA (Show crypto ipsec sa):

#pkts encaps: 0, #pkts encrypt: 0, #pkts digest: 0
#pkts decaps: 9, #pkts decrypt: 9, #pkts verify: 9

In this example the ASA decrypts packets but returns nothing.

The two examples combined could point to a routing issue or something NAT 
resp acl related on the ASA side: 
packets from the client are sent to the tunnel, will be encrypted, 
recieved by the asa, decrytped and then we don't know for sure.

Here's where troubleshooting starts: 

• do you see an established connection on the ASA for the vpn?
• do see a translation for that connection?
  
• do see packets on the internal host?
• do you see packets returned from the internal host?
• do you see packets dropped by an acl?

Find trouble shooting strategies for other scenarios:

client packets encrypted 0, decrypted 0

asa packets encrypted 0, decrypted 0

personal firewall? client routing issue (dos command netstat -r)?

client packets encrypted x, decrypted 0

asa packets encrypted x, decrypted x

esp not arrriving on client? personal firewall?

hope thats a little bit of help
