ASA 5505 not picking external IP from ISP

Hi geeks,

I've got a trouble as to the DHCP running on ASA 5505. It is not picking any external IP from ADSL router. Upon iterative modification and testing, still no luck in accessing Internet.

My set up is:

Internet--> DSL router--> ASA 5505

Here is the result after issuing "sh route" and "sh ip" command.

C 127.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 directly connected

C 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 direcly connected

Hi,

I am giving additional info regarding my setup here.

As i attempt to configure vpn using ASA 5505, the adsl router needs to be "half bridge". Before i launch any change, i already checked the adsl router alone was working properly. I also confirmed the capability that ASA 5505 can surf Internet when connected to ADSL router without "half bridge".

I think i must miss out something, could you please give me a clue on it?

Any comments or advice would be highly appreciated.

Anita

Sorry for the confusing stuff, i have posted the wrong result.

As i used Dlink 302g as "half bridge" previously. It just worked fine with ASA 5505, but no internet access. Then i tried NOKIA M1122, it can't pick any external IP.

My question is whethter dlink incompatible with ASA 5505. If no, how to fulfill Internet access using ASA 5505 and dlink.

Many thanks

Anita

Do you have a link light from the dlink router to the ASA? Are duplex/speeds set right? Also, can you pull an IP with a laptop directly connected to that router?

Hi Noran,

Thanks for your quick replies.

Yes, the link light from the dlink router to ASA was up. Duplex / speeds settings were auto.

Actually, the outside interface of ASA can pick IP address directly from the dlink router with NAT, for example, 10.1.1.4. It can also pick IP address 125.xxx.xxx.xxx from the dlink router with half bridge, but all other routers, like linksys, netgear, alcatel and nokia don't.

Therefore, I believe it comes to the half bridge problem.

Since i attamp to config remote access VPN, any advice on the dlink router settings would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

Anita

Anita,

Sadly, I have no answers for you but I am in the same boat. Any luck for you yet?

I have tried a dlink router and a Westell 2000 modem (with DHCP server built in) to provide a DHCP address to an ASA 5505. No luck. Both will provide DHCP addresses to other routers or networks no problem, just the Cisco won't pick one up.

If I configure the Cisco with a static IP on the outside interface, I can access the dlink's Web interface no problem. If I switch to DHCP and try to renew, I always get a "DHCP lease has not been renewed" error.

I checked the config on the Cisco and it is correctly "ip address dhcp setroute". But the ip address always shows up as unassigned.

I am running 7.2(2) firmware.

Help! I am a moron!!

Here is a solution:

If you are running 7.2.3 or later you have a checkbox in ASDM Configuration / Interfaces / Outside / Edit / General. Check the value in "For the client identifier in DHCP option 61" - "Use Mac address".

If you dont have 7.2.3 you can in 7.2.2 try this:

In ASDM open configuration / Interfaces. Click outside (in my case 0/0) and press Edit. Then open the tab Advanced and set the correct Active Mac address for outside. You will find the correct MAC address under the help menu / "About ASA".

Im sure there is some another way to do this but this is a simple "how-to" that works with Swedens biggest ISP and their standard DSL modem.

Hopa this helps!

It didn't work on my ASA with 7.2.2, but it seems that you are definitely on the right track. Also I only tried it so far with a dlink router as DHCP server.

I switched to static DSL at the same bum rate of 384-768MBps down (bad wiring in our area). Now I get to pay twice as much, so I will keep trying based on your suggestion. The DSL modem is still serving up DHCP.

Thanks for your excellent idea!
