I have FWSM in 6509 running the latest firware. It is inside of my network so when I refer to "outside" I do not mean the Internet I mean outside of the FWSM but still on my internal network. I have a different Internet firewall.

I can ping the management interface from outside addresses and I can also manage the firewall from "outside". I can ping it from the inside workstation and manage it.

My issue is inside workstations can not go further than the FWSM and "outside" systems can not access the workstation even though I have opened up the firewall a I have been troubleshooting. (Keep in mind again that it isnt open to the Internet just my internal network)

<Client-VLAN31-192.168.30.3>

<Inside-VLAN31>

<FWSM MGMT IP 192.168.30.2>

<Outside - VLAN30- IP Address 192.168.30.1>

I thought with transparent I used the Outside VLAN IP of 192.168.30.1 as the gateway for my inside clients? I have also tried the MGMT IP and neither work.

Switch config

interface Vlan30

ip address 192.168.30.1 255.255.255.0

no ip unreachables

no ip proxy-arp

end

VLAN 31 is a VLAN but not set as an interface

Firewall config

interface Vlan30

nameif outside

bridge-group 2

security-level 0

!

interface Vlan31

nameif inside

bridge-group 2

security-level 100

interface BVI2

ip address 192.168.30.2 255.255.255.0

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.30.1 access-list outside extended permit tcp any any

access-list outside extended permit udp any any

access-group outside in interface outside

(I do realize that I have opened it up not a risk at the moment)
