Problem with ASA5505 VPN tunnel

cooper.dan
Level 1
Level 1

The business need is for an unrouted VLAN on site A to go directly out to an internet service at site B.

Site A and Site B are connected by a 100MB WES service.

Site A is a campus site with around 25 switches. The unrouted VLAN on site A is for engineer access only so they can access their companys remote access service. This VLAN needs to stay unrouted so there is very little potential for compromise onto the live corporate network.

The solution I just put in place is to put an ASA5505 as the dhcp server for the unrouted VLAN at Site A. All clients on this unrouted VLAN get a 192.168.100.x address. The outside interface on the ASA5505 at Site A is put onto the live network to allow a site to site VPN tunnel to be set up between the ASA5505 and the Internet Firewall - another ASA5505

The Site A ASA5505 has been set up with inside and outside interfaces with the same security level. 192.168.100.x subnet is exempt from NAT. Traffic is configured to pass over interfaces with the same security level and the L2L tunnel is coming up.

But I can't get any connectivity to the internet from any host on the 192.168.100.x VLAN.

This is made a little more complex because the outside interfaces on both ASA's are the corporate network.......

The default route of the Site B ASA5505 is 87.xx.xx.1, the ISP router.

The Site B ASA5505 plugs directly into the the ISP router.

I've spent a while on this and really need some guidance form the experts out there!

Can you help me find out where I've gone wrong?

There are some parts of the config that you posted which puzzle me, such as assigning the default route on the inside interface. But these things are not the core of your problem. I agree that probably the core of your problem is the nonat access list. If I understand your requirements correctly what you need is that 192.168.100.0 is not translated when going to addresses at B and is translated when going to the Internet. But your access list says to never translate 192.168.100.0 since your access list has the destination as any:

access-list no-nat extended permit ip 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 any

My suggestion is to rewrite this access list and change the "any" destination to be the addresses behind B (the LAN at B).

The first issue that I see is a mismatch between site A and site B abour the size of the network for 192.168.100.0. Site A consistently has it as a /24. However no-nat at site B defines it differently:

access-list no-nat extended permit ip 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.240 any

I suggest that you change this to a /24 mask.

The second issue that I see is a logical issue. site A treats 192.168.100.0 as a local network (it is the source address in the access lists) and this seems right. But site B is also treating 192.168.100.0 as the source address in its access lists and that does not seem right. Can you clarify what is going on at site B?

And lastly the no-nat says to not translate 192.168.100.0 going to anywhere. You do not want to translate these addresses if they are going through the VPN tunnel. But you certainly would want to translate them if they are going out to the Internet from site B. So some change in your no-nat at site B seems to be necessary.

There is also no access-list wootton-hall on second ASA.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the help!

The situation is that the 192 subnet at site A needs to get to the internet.

Site B is other end of the VPN tunnel to get them there. The 192 traffic from site A should be hitting the outside interface of site B, getting the global NAT of the inside interface xx.xx.xx.14 (valid internet IP address)and going out to the internet.

If I remove the 192 no-nat statement on site B the VPN tunnel does not establish.

Does this help?

I'll add a bit more code from the Site B end to clarify what I'm trying to do.

Thanks again

Hi Rick,

I've removed the no-nat statements and changed the inside/outside assignation on the ASA.

Now it works!

Thanks for the help Rick!
