Open ports on PIX 525

Sean McCoy
Level 1
Level 1

Our high school has a view only video conference coming up. I need to open the following ports on my PIX:

      H.323 uses these IP ports:

     Statically-assigned TCP ports 1718 – 1720 and 1731 for call setup and control.

     Dynamically-assigned UDP ports in the range of 1024 – 65535 for video and audio data streams.

     Port 5802 TCP and UDP

Video conference host IP is 216.27.100.165. Mask is 255.255.255.224. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello,

For this kind of video conference you will only need to open port 1720, the Inspection or fixup of the pix will dynamically open those ports. Would you please paste your config file? The ACL would look like this

access-list permit tcp any host 216.27.100.165

Where the name of the ACL is the one that is applied on the outside interface.

If you have any doubts just let me know.

Hello,

The line would be like this

access-list 101 permit tcp any host 216.27.100.165 eq 1720

Also, we need to know what is the real (Private IP) of the Video conference device in order to do the NAT translation.

Cheers.

Mike

Mike

Mike-

The video conference device is not on my network. I just want to allow those specified ports from 216.27.100.165 to any PC behind my PIX. Do we still need to do a NAT translation to the specific PC on my private network?

Hi Sean,

By default the ASA will allow oubound traffic and will block inbound traffic.

But the ASA will allow inbound traffic if that traffic is a response from traffic originated from the inside.

If you need to allow inbound ports through the ASA you need two things:

1. Static NAT

2. ACL permitting the ports

If  you need to allow those ports but it's part of a videoconference  application that originates from the inside, then the inspection engine  on the ASA will open those ports dynamically for you.

If the computers internal to the PIX will initiate the outbound connection to the videoconference server, then the H.323 inspection should handle the communication for you.

Question:

Have you tried the actual communication and it's not working?

Federico.

Federico-

I have entered the IP into the access list as Mike mentioned. I tried to connect via the URL provided from PC to the video conferene device and I get the following:

Call ended due to network errors

When the PC goes to the URL is going to 216.27.100.165 correct?

Can you add:

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
  inspect icmp

And then check if you can PING that IP address from the PC.

If the PING is succesfull, you know you have connectivity.

Next step is verify the application access.

I don't see from the configuration the ACL applied to the outside interface, please include:

sh run access-group

We might need to open those ports and that's it.

If the problem persists, we can then capture the communication between the PC and the Server.


Federico.

Federico-

I'm currently able to PING that address without adding :

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
  inspect icmp

When I put a filter based on that IP address in ADSM, I see no traffic. I get the following when I do the sh run access-group command:

access-group 101 in interface outside

Any other thoughts?

Hello,

Sorry guys I was having lunch, I saw that Federico is online today... great help. Would you please enable the real time log viewer on the ASDM and try to do the connection again? See why the connection is being closed? You can add a filter and put the public IP address of the Video conference device and check the logs only related to that.

Cheers.

Mike

Mike

Maykol,

I hope I have those 3-hour lunch you guys take ;-)

Sean,

Let us know how it goes please.

Federico.
