all internal interfaces cannon communicate

evinogradov · ‎12-08-2009

I need help. I have ASA 55xx with the multiple public IPs setup on outside interface via PPPoE. I have most common activity on all my local interfaces (nated to statics outside) like www, 443, pop3, etc.

Here is config (I removed unnecessary)

Problem:

all remote clients(from cloud) can contact and communicate with SQL_server (see names). However, there are no communications from acc-protected interface to it. Also all internal interfaces cannot see each other.

Ivan Martinon · ‎12-08-2009

Communication between interfaces with the same security level is blocked by default, you need to enable it with the command "same-security-traffic permit inter-interface" along with the proper nat and access control rules.

evinogradov · ‎12-09-2009

Ivan, did you see my config before posting some average recommendation?

Isn't it enough: "same-security-traffic permit inter-interface". Do I need it double?

Ivan Martinon · ‎12-09-2009

My friend I was trying to help, my bad for not reading the whole config and just focusing on the BOLD text, as for your problem, I see that you have a nat applied to the acc-protected interface, having this nat here would require you to have a global on any egress interface, have you tried using a static nat to that server on the acc-protected interface? Can you maybe get some logs that wold reflect what the firewall is doing with the packet? Hope this is not as average as the other..

evinogradov · ‎12-09-2009

Ivan, I appriciate for such a quick response. Exactly, there are no visible issues with nat. I tried everithing: static on sql server, static to domain controller on inside interface instead of global. Could just suprise me with someting that I didn't try. I think that, IMHO, the problem related to ppp outside. First, it's obtaining xx.xxx.xxx.230 public IP by pppoe

ciscoasa#sh interface outside

Interface Vlan2 "outside", is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is EtherSVI
MAC address 0024.14f3.9a66, MTU 1492

      5 minute output rate 7 pkts/sec, 2070 bytes/sec
      5 minute drop rate, 0 pkts/sec
This static IP belongs to outside interface. All other statics outside I get manually by the global pools. After, I can't apply any static nat to the global pools. It's working but under global rules. So, kind of confising for myself.

Ivan Martinon · ‎12-09-2009

Well first of all we need to find out how are those hosts looking for this server, what IP address are they using to reach it? Can you ping this ip address? try turning on logs on the ASA when pinging this ip address and let me know what is the message you get there my point is first we need to confirm if it is due to a missing translation or something else but for that we need the logs and find out what is the correct symptom.

As for the nat I meant something like this

static (sql,acc-protected) tcp interface 1433 SQL_server 1433 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (sql,acc-protected) tcp interface ftp SQL_server ftp netmask 255.255.255.255

Has this been applied?

As well please go ahead and try this command on the ASA and paste the output here:

packet-tracer input interface acc-protected tcp 1024 192.168.2.10 1433 detailed

evinogradov · ‎12-09-2009

Ivan, here is my likely message for the last few days after

static (sql,acc_protected) tcp interface 1433 SQL_server 1433 netmask 255.255.255.255

P.S. I dont need FTP here
