Dear Marco ,

I am having a strange problem. Please help me out.

I made a TCP string base structure. Stringe is google. I configured the following Event actions for that signature.

Deny connection Inline

Request Block host

Produce Alert

Reset TCP COnnection

non blocking IP address is my Sensor IP addresses.

I have two internet routers connected with seperate ISP. Everything is working fine. In blocking devices I configured my second ISP router.So that when users who are using Internet of 2nd ISP browse Google. Their connection drop.

But as soon as I did this, Everything stop working. No browsing no internet connection at all. Even On Router A. Global IP of Router A even got block.

Before IPS block action i saw following access-list entries.

Router access-list is below

ip access-list extended IDS_GigabitEthernet0/1_in_0

permit ip host 172.28.92.50 any

permit ip any any

During

10 permit ip host 172.28.92.50 any (51 matches)

20 deny ip host x.x.188.38 any

30 deny ip host x.x.188.37 any

40 deny ip host x.x.188.39 any

50 permit ip any any (449 matches)

There is no pre and post acl configuration.No access-list is configured on router. Except the access-list that IPS will apply.

before this configuration I was assuming that whenever specific users who supposed to use 2nd Internet Router will be block when the try to open google.

But during blockage. Router in which IPS applied the access-list. I see in the access-list that router access-list that applied by the IPs

includes my all global IP addresses. Though these IP addressses are being used by router A for natting.

why it is so. How to solve this problem.
