Issue with the ASA Multicontext FW - please help

sidcracker
Level 1
Level 1

Hi Everyone,

I have configured mac-address auto on the system context because two of the contexts share the outside interface. I have configured NAT on the outside interface as a one-to-one nat to translate to a server ip.

I have configured the access-lists and nat rules and everything else. Now when someone tries to RDP to the NAT address, its able to recieve SYN packets but its not able to push it out to the server.

Is there anything wrong with my mac-address auto command. Do i need to do anything else? The

Router -----> Switch -----> Firewall ------> Switch ------> other  network devices

Above highlighted switch are the same. The switch sends it to the outside interface of the firewall and firewall sends it to back to the switch out the DMZ interface.

Below is my config

SYSTEM CONTEXT

================


mac-address auto

Sid,

What version of ASA software are you running?  Please provide any syslogs that you receive at the time of the issue - preferably at the 'debugging' level.  Also, configure a packet capture for the relevant traffic.  Here are a couple of tools that will assist us in finding out the reason that the packet is not making it through the ASA.

1.) Packet Tracer

For the flow that is exhibiting the issue, run the following command:

packet-tracer input outside tcp 1.1.1.1 5555 3389 detailed

This will provide the step-by-step of the packet through the Finite State Machine of the ASA.  Looking at this output, you will want to focus on the step that has a result of DROP - this often provides a hint as to why the ASA is not allowing the packet through the ASA.

2.) Packet capture (with/without the 'trace') command

On ASA 8.0(x)+, you can do a packet capture that will integrate the Packet Tracer output as above.  The packet capture command on 8.0(x)+ will look like the following:

capture interface trace match <[source ip] [mask] [port]> <[dest ip] [mask] [port]>

Did you perform the packet capture to confirm that the SYN packet did indeed arrive on the ASA?  Did an egress packet capture confirm that the SYN packet did leave towards the server?

3.) Routes Translations Permission:

For the flow, confirm that the Route, Translation, and Permissions exist:

Route - make sure that there is a valid route pointing out the correct interface to reach the server.  If this route exists, make sure that there is an ARP entry for the next hop router or, in this case, the server.

Translation - It seems as though you have the translation for the server.

Permissions - Make sure that you are allowing access to the server via an access-list/access-group pair.  If you are using ASA 8.3, make sure that this access-list entry is using the REAL IP address (ie the 192.168.12.10 address as provided in your example).

Any of the information that you can provide above (ie the packet tracer, packet capture, and syslogs) will greatly assist in our ability to diagnose this issue.

Best Regards,

Kevin

Thanks Kevin for the reply,

I will perform all the troubleshooting procedures that you described and give you the results.

I did perform the capture command and it was recieving SYN packets to the NAT address but not going any further. My doubt lies whether the mac-address auto is functioning properly.

I should update the result in t he next 1-2 hours.

Thanks

Sid

BTW i am using 8.0(4) IOS

I am unable to ping any of the 192.168.12.0 addresses including the SVI on the switch as well as the server ip. I can ping everything else.

Pls. check the following:

1. check the debug level syslogs in admin context

2. sh cap detail

check the source mac and destination mac and make sure it is the same mac that the "sh int" shows.
