Pix 501 configuring....

mikentosh
Level 1
Level 1

My client has recently purchased a fiber line. The ISP provided th following information:

IP routes:

Interface IP 216.x.x.x

Gateway IP 216.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.252

and DNS servers

They also provided "Routed Network Info", which is confusing to me.

Subnet is 24.x.x.x/29 with 6 usable IPs

Gateway 24.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.248

My first task is to try to configure a Pix 501 for insdie - out internet access

Second task is to set up the RDP access to individual computers on the LAN. I had done this before using DD-WRT port forwarding on a router where I could give the client the public IP with a port number (public:1234) and configure a forwarding table to relay each assigned port to their computer IP on port 3389. Now that I am introducing the Pix and the additional routing info from ISP I am way confused. Any help would be appreciated. I would settle for getting internet access from the inside at this point.

I will try to get what I have configured (but not tested) posted soon.

Thanks!

Gateway 24.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.248

This is an IP range that the ISP will route to you so you can use it to present internal/dmz servers to the internet eg.

static (inside,outside) 24.x.x.1 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.255

would present the inside server of 192.168.5.10 as 24.x.x.1 to the outside. You can also be more specific and use ports eg.

static (inside,outside) tcp 24.x.x.1 80 192.168.5.10 80 netmask 255.255.255.255

would present just port 80 for 192.168.5.10 as 24.x.x.1 on port 80 so you can use the same public IP for different ports and private IPs.

Your config looks fine to test with. Most people NAT the internal addresses to the outside interface IP but it looks like you have used one of your 24.x.x.x addresses. Nothing wrong with what you have done.

Hi Mike,  I know Jon will never get mad by adding additional info.. just wrote the answer but Jon's speed of light reply always takes me off guard :-)


Should be straight forward what you need to accomplish, and you have come to the right place here for us to help.

First lets star to understand  what ISP has giving you, it is always good to ask ISP when in doubt.

1 - IP routes:

Interface IP 216.x.x.x

Gateway IP 216.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.252

and DNS servers


Above information is provided for your PIX  interface facing ISP configuration ,and looking at your PIX configuration
it looks like  you have already acomplish that with outside interface IP address and default route for your PIX gateway.
DNS servers info  will be for your inside hosts in the event that you do not have local DNS server.

2- "Routed Network Info",

Subnet is 24.x.x.x/29 with 6 usable IPs

Gateway 24.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.248


Routed network in your ISP case simply means that they have provided you with a /29 public IP block , they will
route the the /29 block towards your oustide PIX interface IP,  meaning that you may use those /29 IP addresses as NAT
address or NAT pool addresses etc as John indicated .  Since it is expected ISP to route this block back to your PIX you do not need
to do anything other than, again, using those addresses for one-to-one NAT translations or global Pools as ilustrated by Jon.

Can you post output of "sh interface" from the pix ?

Can you ping the ISP default-gateway from the pix ?

Jon

View solution in original post

In addition  after you verify pinging the ISP gateway from the PIX itself  what Jon have suggested take note of following configuration to be corrected after you have confirmed ISP gateway is ICMP reachable from the pix.

Secondly :
You have two different access list for inbound access (outside_in) and(ANYRDP) and have not yet being applied  to outside interface.
For consistancy  in access-list naming try  using  one access list  for specified interface, as it will be much easier down the road to reference them per interface as suppose to different/many  acl names per interfaces.

Based on your static NAT translation you have these two acl statements shown bellow  , for the tcp port 1000 use the same acl name as the first one you have for port 3389


access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389
access-list ANYRDP permit tcp any interface outside eq 1000

Above acls should appear as:

access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389
access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 1000


apply the outside_in access-list to outside interface by adding bellow statement

access-group outside_in in interface outside

After you have corrected these above ensure the servers 192.168.1.253  and 192.168.1.55 are indeed listening on RDP , then test them from outside internet.

Hi Mike,

by default from the pix itself you should be able to ping the ISP router gateway ,  however plese add to your config ( icmp permit any outside)  for ping test to ISP gateway from the PIX itself.

Also if you are trying to ping from a PC in the LAN you need to allow the replies back in in firewall.

access-list outside_in permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any source-quench
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any time-exceeded

access-group outside_in in interface outside

With these above you can ping by IP address , try pinging  this opened public IP 4.2.2.2    either from PIX firewall or PC , post results.

Jorge Rodriguez

View solution in original post

Mike, you posted output of show interface which looks  interfaces are up for both inside and outside,   from the PIX console   can you post the output of "show arp"    pix#show arp  

Again you can ping the ISP gateway from PIX console

PIX#ping  216.x.x.229    <--  can you ping the gateway from pix?   if you can ping gateway , also try  other public IP like the one posted  ,  ping 4.2.2.2  from the PIX console, if you can ping these addresse form PIX you have connectivity to internet, then move onto next task but please first confirm you can reach ISP gateway and 4.2.2.2 IP.

Hi Mike, good that  you are making progress.

The  access-list outbound permit ip any any applied to inside interface s fine and you can leave it, simply it allows TCP/UDP outbound from any inside hosts, so you do not need these .

These three lines ca be removed - as long you leave access-list outbound permit ip any any applied to inside interface.
access-list outbound permit tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 any eq www
access-list outbound permit tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 any eq ftp-data
access-list outbound permit tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 any eq ftp


As for not being unable to ping the ISP gateway  it most likely is that ISP blocking icmps , but you have confirmed internet connectivity to 4.2.2.2 from pix and inside hosts after you added outside permit ip any any to inside interface.

As for Site to Site VPN go to this link and reference in mid page down Site to Site VPN (L2L) with PIX

They also provided "Routed Network Info", which is confusing to me.

Subnet is 24.x.x.x/29 with 6 usable IPs

Gateway 24.x.x.x

Mask 255.255.255.248

This is an IP range that the ISP will route to you so you can use it to present internal/dmz servers to the internet eg.

static (inside,outside) 24.x.x.1 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.255

static (inside,outside) tcp 24.x.x.1 80 192.168.5.10 80 netmask 255.255.255.255

I am grateful to both of you. I will hopefully be able to test it tonight. I will let you know what happens. Thanks again!

Darn! It didn't work......... Not even the first task (getting internet access). Here's the rundown:

I connected the ISP ethernet line (from fiber box) to Pix WAN, connected Pix to laptop with ethernet, successfully pinged Pix (192.168.1.2), got "hardware error" when pinging outside.


I know I am doing something wrong. Would probably be much easier if I could get the PDM interface to work, but that is another story. I am posting the config again hoping someone can tell me where I am screwing up.

Note- the ANYRDP acl was just to test if I could access a specific inside system by using 24.x.x.33:1000 for a sort of one-to-one mapping of outside access in via RDP.

Again, any help is greatly appreciated...........

Can you post output of "sh interface" from the pix ?

Can you ping the ISP default-gateway from the pix ?

Jon

Yes, I iwll post as soon as I can. I have to go there in the evenings after my "primary" job. I will get it tonight (hopefully). Do both of these commands require the pix to be connected to the outside (I know ping would). I have the Pix with me but am nowhere near the site. I can run sh interface, but probably wont be any results you are looking to see.

Thanks for taking the time to help me!

In addition  after you verify pinging the ISP gateway from the PIX itself  what Jon have suggested take note of following configuration to be corrected after you have confirmed ISP gateway is ICMP reachable from the pix.

Secondly :
You have two different access list for inbound access (outside_in) and(ANYRDP) and have not yet being applied  to outside interface.
For consistancy  in access-list naming try  using  one access list  for specified interface, as it will be much easier down the road to reference them per interface as suppose to different/many  acl names per interfaces.

Based on your static NAT translation you have these two acl statements shown bellow  , for the tcp port 1000 use the same acl name as the first one you have for port 3389


access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389
access-list ANYRDP permit tcp any interface outside eq 1000

Above acls should appear as:

access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389
access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 1000


apply the outside_in access-list to outside interface by adding bellow statement

access-group outside_in in interface outside

After you have corrected these above ensure the servers 192.168.1.253  and 192.168.1.55 are indeed listening on RDP , then test them from outside internet.

Thanks for any help!!!

Hi Mike,

by default from the pix itself you should be able to ping the ISP router gateway ,  however plese add to your config ( icmp permit any outside)  for ping test to ISP gateway from the PIX itself.

Also if you are trying to ping from a PC in the LAN you need to allow the replies back in in firewall.

access-list outside_in permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any source-quench
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list outside_in permit icmp any any time-exceeded

access-group outside_in in interface outside

With these above you can ping by IP address , try pinging  this opened public IP 4.2.2.2    either from PIX firewall or PC , post results.

Thanks for your patience! Yes, I was trying to ping from an internal PC, I couldn't connect to any known IPs either. Forgive me for being so ignorant about the PIX firewall, but can I ping from the console? The sh interface results I posted earlier were from the PC. Am I using the right gateway? Again this is what the ISP provided:

Interface IP: 216.x.x.230

Gateway IP: 216.x.x.229

Subnetmask: 255.255.255.252

DNS Servers: 69.1.30.18 and .19

Routed Network Information:

Subnet is: 24.x.x.32/29 with 6 usable IPs

Usable IP Range: 24.x.x.33 - 24.x.x.38

Gateway: 24.x.x.33

Subnetmask: 255.255.255.248

I must be plugging something in wrong because I just cannot get out. Does it look right to you where I have the GWs/IPs?

I will try what you suggested.

Thanks again!

Mike, you posted output of show interface which looks  interfaces are up for both inside and outside,   from the PIX console   can you post the output of "show arp"    pix#show arp  

Again you can ping the ISP gateway from PIX console

PIX#ping  216.x.x.229    <--  can you ping the gateway from pix?   if you can ping gateway , also try  other public IP like the one posted  ,  ping 4.2.2.2  from the PIX console, if you can ping these addresse form PIX you have connectivity to internet, then move onto next task but please first confirm you can reach ISP gateway and 4.2.2.2 IP.

Regards

jorgemcse,

Here is what I got when I did the ping test with the last configuration I revealed:

JMSBC(config)# ping 4.2.2.2
        4.2.2.2 response received -- 10ms
        4.2.2.2 response received -- 0ms
        4.2.2.2 response received -- 0ms
JMSBC(config)# ping 216.x.x.230
        216.x.x.230 response received -- 0ms
        216.x.x.230 response received -- 0ms
        216.x.x.230 response received -- 0ms
JMSBC(config)# ping 216.x.x.229
        216.x.x.229 response received -- 0ms
        216.x.x.229 response received -- 0ms
        216.x.x.229 response received -- 0ms
JMSBC(config)# ping 24.x.x.33
        24.x.x.33 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.33 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.33 NO response received -- 1000ms
JMSBC(config)# ping 24.x.x.32
        24.x.x.32 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.32 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.32 NO response received -- 1000ms
JMSBC(config)# ping 24.x.x.34
        24.x.x.34 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.34 NO response received -- 1000ms
        24.x.x.34 NO response received -- 1000ms

I have since added the following line to the configuration:

access-list outbound permit ip any any

After adding this, the pings went through from the PC. As I write this I am using the firewall connection to do so.

What did this command do? Is it ok to use it without vulnerabilities?

Dare I try to move on to remoting in???

Thanks for your assistance and patience!

My TERMSERV ACL is good for RDP. I can get in using 216.x.x.230:1000 and it routes to 3389 on the designated internal PC. Now what I need to do (if possible) is set a range of 20 individual connections similar. Is there a way to designate say incoming 1000-1020 to an internal router where I can do the port forwarding?

By the way in my excitement (and some tweaking) I lost the ability to ping out from the PC again. Connection works to internet, but can't ping out (can ping in though). Can you identify the error in the configuration below:
