asa interface ping

[suthomas1]

Hi,

We have just configured one of the interfaces (gig0/1)on asa 5585 with an ip address 10.58.1.1 /24.

There is a laptop connected to this interface gig0/1 with ip 10.58.1.100 /24 and for some strange reason the laptop is unable to ping the asa interface ip 10.58.1.1.

What could be the problem?

appreciate all help.

Hi,

There shouldnt be many reason for this in your situation as the host is directly connected to the ASA interface.

And by default ASA should allow ICMP to its interface if no additional configurations have been made

You can check the output of the command

show run icmp

And see if there are any configurations that deny ICMP to the interface in question.

Naturally make sure that the interface is not missing any configuration and that its enabled with the "no shutdown" command
