Cisco ASA5505 PPPoE no internet - Help needed

mark.mcelhenny
Level 1
Level 1

We currently use a linux software based firewall called IPCop that sits between our network and router (This is in bridged mode) IPCop conects over PPPoE and everything works fine.

However the system is not reliable and I fear not that secure so have purchased an ASA5505 now I have added the PPPoE info to the device using the ADSM software however although it picks up my external static IP I'm unable to access the internet. On IPCop I only had to enter the broadband credentials and it worked however I feel like I may have to add more to the Cisco, for example do I have to specify DNS servers and do I have to set a static route?

Here is my config file so far (Note I think I have turned on the abilty to ping from internal to external however if someone could confirm that would be great)

Please note I am new to this and most of my config I have done through the ADSM as opposed to the CLI

config looks good so far.

Are you getting an ip address on your outside interface? pls share the output of "show int ip brief"

Are you getting a default route? pls share the output of "show route"

Can you ping 4.2.2.2 from an internal host?

Is the ASA configured as a DHCP server or you are having an internal DHCP server/static IP?

Hi Jennifer,

Yes the outside interface in the ADSM goes from status [PPPoE] to my external static IP so I know the authentication is working.

As this is a live environment I'm unabel to switch the internet over to the Cisco ASA until after 5pm UK time so once I do that I will post back with the results of those questions you asked me.

Finally I have DHCP turned off on the the internal interface as our own domain controllers issue IP address's. Bascially I have my internet line going into my router which is set to bridged then an ethernet cable going from here to port 0 on the ASA, the an ethernet cable going from Port 1 to our main office switch.

Computers are given IP's from domain controller and each PC's is given the gateway address of 192.168.205.3 which is the lan IP of the ASA. (Its also the LAN IP of our current firewall IPCop but I shut this down whilst I have the ASA live)

Hope this makes sense!

Mark

Right I've done some more testing and it appears that I can connect to the PPPoE fine and I can ping IP addresses the problem is I can't ping host names so looks like a DNS issue should the Cisco be picking up DNS info automatically?

I tried enabling DNS on the outside interface and added a known BT DNS server and through the Ping tool in ADSM I was able to ping by host name however I was still unable to ping the host from the command prompt on my PC or able to access any websites.

My test laptop that is connected to the ASA is currently configured with static info (Normally it would be DHCP via our domain controllers) so has a gateway of 192.168.205.3 and DNS server of 192.168.205.3 (This is the LAN IP of the ASA) I'm presuming that this is correct.

Here is the output from the commands you asked me to run:

When I type both of those commands in it says they are incomplete.

That's weird, looks incorrect.

The public IP assigned is 81.137.203.172, but your default gateway is 217.32.145.1, completely different subnet.

Can you try to remove the pppoe command and re-add it:

interface vlan2

  no ip address pppoe setroute

  ip address pppoe setroute

And check the output from the command advised earlier again.

Jennifer, with PPPoE the DG does not have to in the same subnet.

As I've metioned before as this is a live system I'm not able to just plug teh CIsco in with it not working so will try the command suggested by c.spescha tomorrow evening.

With regards to the gateway IP when I switched back to our IPCop firewall last night I checked what it had as the gateway IP and it is the same as what the Cisco was picking up:

I've also been told that my config is missing this line:

global (Outside) 1 interface

Could adding this line solve my DNS resolving issue?

Cheers

Mark

No, that line "global (Outside) 1 interface" is old version of code (8.2 and lower), and as you are running version 8.4, that command doesn't exist anymore. Your NAT statement is already correct.

If DNS is the issue, pls add the DNS to your DHCP server as your internal DHCP server is the one assigning IP address to your internal host. BTW, don't turn off the internal DHCP server as you should keep using it to assign IP address including the DNS server information.

Hi are you saying I should add the ip addresses of our ISP DNS servers to our DHCP server? The only reason I ask is that when running the IPCop firewall we don't need our ISP DNS server entries on the DHCP server yet we are still able to resolve host names.

I'll give you our current setup for DHCP PC's

All the PC's on the network are assigned an IP address between 192.168.205.32 to 192.168.205.200 they are given a subnet of 255.255.255.0 a default gateway of 192.168.205.3 (Currently the IPCop firewall) and DNS servers of 192.168.205.6 (DC does DHCP and DNS) and 192.168.205.8 (DC only does DNS) Both Domain controllers only have each other as DNS servers and have 192.168.205.3 as the gateway. My understanding is that when I access the internet from my PC it goes to my two DC's for DNS lookup if it can't find the info in our local DNS table it then goes out the DC's gateway and retrieves it from our ISP's DNS servers so any request for something outside the network would go to our ISP'S DNS servers, I don't have the ISP DNS servers setup on any server or even in the IPCop firewall. All I have setup in IPCop is the PPPoE client and under DNS servers it is selected as automatic.

All I am trying to do is replace the IPCop firewall with the Cisco ASA hence why I have given it the same LAN IP so nothing needs changing. I thought it would be just a matter of doing a similar thing set up the lan side and then setup the PPPoE client on the WAN side however like I say although it connects fine but it is unable to resolve DNS.

My test laptop has its DNS server pointing to the firewall directly as it is plugged into the Cisco directly as opposed to through the switch.

Also enabling DHCP on the Cisco Lan side would surely mean that PC's could potentially pick up IP address's from the CIsco instead of our own DHCP server in which case it could allocate and already in use IP address causing a conflict?

Sorry for going into so much detail but just tyring to give you the full picture of wht we have and also what I would like!

You would also need to enable DHCPD on the inside interface so the ASA is actually acting as a DHCP server for inside network.

dhcpd enable inside

Need to also turn off your other DHCP server when you use ASA as the DHCP server.

Our network is part of a bigger network so we would not be able to use the Cisco ASA's DHCP client over our own to be fair most big companies will use there own DHCP server so the fact that to get his working means doing what you suggested is a definite no go.

If this is the only way to get it working over PPPoE then I will have to look at a different method.

If I was to switch the ADSL modem out of bridged mode and back into an ADSL modem can I place the CIsco ASA between our corporate network and ADSL modem? If so how would I go about configuring the ASA as again DHCP would still need to be turned off on the ASA like wise on the modem, they would both be assigned static LAN IP's in the same subent as our corporate network:

192.168.205.xxx
