Level 1

Hi,

I have a scenario.

1. We are using Pix515E with Restricted license

2. Currently we have moved 9 servers behing the pix firewall

3. Now we are planning to move additional servers, but somehow pix does not allow it

4. NAT translations are ok

5. Configs has been verified to be ok

6. ACL are allowed

7. Inside servers can ping and reach/ browse the new webserver

8. New webserver is able to ping other inside servers and gateway-pix firewall

9. Outside hosts/ Internet users are not able to reach the new server

10. Pix logs does not shows anythings suspicious

11. Capture shows the ack is just not happening

12. We have tried to reboot / reapply the configs

Can someone please help to advise, what may be wrong

Hi Prasanna

Please post your running config and output of sh ver command.

"Now we are planning to move additional servers, but somehow pix does not allow it "

Can you describe this please? What error do you encounter?

Regards

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

Heres the running config edited before posting ;)

I could see the NAT translations happening

Required traffic is allowed on the firewall

We are currently moving a server in this setup behind the pix firewall.

Existing servers in this network could access the new server

But Internet users/ from outside interface we are unable to reach this server

Even from router I am unable to ping this server, though I have tried allowing the icmp from the router.

x.x.x es makes it hard to understand. Can you attach as a file (attached files exipre in time) . What is your inside server IP? (with subnetmask) Are 200.x.x.x public IPs?

Hi,

Thanks again!

I am attaching the configs, only deleting the object-groups. All other configs are intact.

Deleting object-group is just to shorten the cli, as we have a huge number of ip's under object-groups.

Yes, inside server ip is 203.127.218.207/26 are public ip's

Thanks for your time on config posting.

Here is te issue

static (intf2,outside) 203.127.218.192 203.127.218.192 netmask 255.255.255.192 0 0

static (inside,outside) 203.127.218.128 203.127.218.128 netmask 255.255.255.192 0 0

ip address inside 203.127.218.129 255.255.255.192

According to above lines, I understand that this server was previously located at intf2 because as you see 203.127.218.207/26 does not belong to 203.127.218.128/26. You have two options

1) Change the server ip in a range of defined static above (between 203.127.218.128-203.127.218.190) (Recommended)

2) We have to make a huge change in config to be able to keep 207 in inside if it is a must not to change the IP.

Regards

Yes, Indeed server 203.127.218.207/26 belongs to intf2 and subnet 203.127.218.192/26 and will remain there. We have tried moving to subnet 203.127.218.128/26 still the same results.

As we are using ver6.3, NAT0 alone is not sufficient, hence we are using static nat and could see the nat translations.

Config:-

ip address intf2 203.127.218.193 255.255.255.192

So let me rephrase and correct me if I am wrong.

Server X WAS! located at intf2 with an IP of 203.127.128.207/26 and now you moved it to inside interface. If correct,

1) Assign this server a public IP in 203.127.128.128/26 subnet.

2) Change the gateway of this server from 203.127.218.193 to 203.127.218.129

3) Run clear xlate and clear arp command in PIX

4) Run arp -d in command line of server for 4-5 times

Now here is the issue

"Outside hosts/ Internet users are not able to reach the new server "

You have the following acl

access-list 111 permit tcp any host 203.127.218.207

Now change this acl for the new IP address that you assigned Server X

Thanks for your efforts sir!

These has been tried before, and found to be not working.

Rephrasing the problem:-

If I add new servers either in Inside int or intf2, it does not work. Existing servers are working fine.

For testing, I brought down one of the production servers, and used its ip for the new test server. Now the new test server works. But with the new ip, say in .128 or .192 subnet, the new servers does not work.

Big THANKS to husycisco !

I have figured out the problem now. Unfortunately all the 3 test servers we had been using to test were faulty in a way or other. either nic card, or image ....

Thanks for your effort and time sir.

Highly appreciate your help.

Glad that you sorted it out :)

Regards
