ASA 5510 8.0(5) NAT problem (RPF-Check)

kharvey
Level 1
Level 1

This is my first post here, so I apologize if I make a mistake.

I have 3 interfaces on my ASA 5510 (Internal, External, DMZ) and I have been successful in getting traffic to flow every direciton except for DMZ to Internal.

When using Packet-Tracer and sending a packet from the DMZ to the Internal network I receive an RPF-Check error:

Phase: 6
Type: NAT
Subtype: rpf-check
Result: DROP
Config:
nat (IntNet) 1 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
  match ip IntNet 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 DMZNet any
    dynamic translation to pool 1 (No matching global)
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
Additional Information:
Forward Flow based lookup yields rule:
out id=0xd69fa5f8, priority=1, domain=nat-reverse, deny=false
        hits=3, user_data=0xd69fa3e0, cs_id=0x0, flags=0x0, protocol=0
        src ip=0.0.0.0, mask=0.0.0.0, port=0
        dst ip=10.1.0.0, mask=255.255.0.0, port=0, dscp=0x0

So far I have limited the problem down to one line in my config

nat (IntNet) 1 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0

But I have not been able to come up with a solution for this as of yet.

Here is my config:

This is just a test config, and I have a lot more to do to it, but I haven't made it past getting the traffic to flow properly.

The packet tracer that I am running is:

If you want to initiate a connection from the DMZ to inside then dynamic NAT rules will not work. You will need to set up either a nat exemption or a static NAT  ie.

NAT exemption

access-list NATEX permit ip 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0

nat (IntNet) 0 access-list NATEX

static NAT

static (IntNet, DMZNet) 10.1.0.0 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0

static NAT

static (IntNet, DMZNet) 10.1.0.0 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0

That worked perfectly.

I added the one line of

static (IntNet,DMZNet) 10.1.0.0 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0

And now I have traffic that is can go from the DMZ to the Internal.

I had attempted something similar, but I had them on two seperate subnets (10.1.x.x and 10.2.x.x) and it kept failing.

You are awesome, thank you for your assistance.

Ken

Many thanks for the kind words and rating.

Glad you got it working.
