How to connect to the internet with ASA 5515 X?

Eurosigma
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all:

 

I just got my new ASA 5515 X firewall and I got stuck in the first steps.

 

I can ping a public IP (8.8.8.8) from the device but I cannot ping it from my LAN.

 

I know I am missing either NAT rules or Access rules or maybe both, but I need some help, please.

 

Thank you.

Hmm, the configuration looks correct but for some reason the packet-tracer reports an implicit rule is prohibiting the flow. Since you are going from INSIDE to OUTSIDE (and the security levels are set correctly), the implicit rule should be to allow all traffic.

Can you make sure your running-config is saved and reload the ASA and retry it?

saved config, reloaded:

Joel,

Don't use your ASA inside address (10.9.250.2) as the source IP. Instead try any host address from that subnet (e.g. 10.9.250.3):

I'm not sure why it's saying NAT failed in the summary when the details indicate it is allowed.

Let's try a more specific NAT entry as follows:

object network inside_net

   subnet 10.9.250.0 255.255.255.0

   nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) dynamic interface

Try that and re-run the same packet-tracer.

Marvin, first of all - thanks so much for your help! Second, am I doing something wrong with my topology? I was given this to configure and would normally put firewall > router > switches, etc - the network designer on this wants router on outside of firewall. Didn't know if that mattered.

Just to remind us where we're at, here's the run config as it currently sits:

To the design question, either way should work. The firewall is often a convenient place to put the private-public NAT but it doesn't have to be. There are advantages to having a router on the outside - it can generally handle "real" routing much more capably than a firewall.

Thanks for the recap - I should have been clearer that the new NAT rule is in place of the old one. They should process in order of longest prefix match, but just to be safe, please undo the earlier one. i.e.,

object network obj-any
 no nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) dynamic interface

...and then, for good measure "clear xlate".

Then please re-run the packet-tracer.

I'm a bit perplexed. It looks very straightforward to me and should work.

Just for a separate data point, can you try packet-tracer with a TCP flow?

For instance:

packet-tracer input inside tcp 10.9.250.3 1025 8.8.8.8 80 detailed

Hi Eurosigma,

Can you post your configurations? As in I am specifically looking for object network configs. I have NAT, access-list, and static route in place. Yet not able to reach the internet. 

Did you not have it configured at all? I tried using the configs that you have attached, but still no luck.

Thanks for the help. Any help is appreciated.

Of course. Here you are. I hope it helps.

 

If you do not have an ADSL router in front of the Cisco, like I do, you would simply replace 192.168.1.36 address with your public IP. And 192.168.1.1 with your default gateway IP.
