ASA dropping UDP/53 traffic on inside interface

kenneth.eisner
Level 1
Level 1

Greetings,

I've spent the better part of a week trying to pound this out.

We have a Cisco ASA 5505 (v7.2(3)) with a "fairly" normal configuration yet we have a problem where it appears UDP/53 traffic is denied on our inside network.

here is output from our sys log:

SyslogID   Source IP      Dest IP    Description

305006      172.18.22.3                   portmap translation creation failed for udp src inside:172.18.22.156/42013 dst inside:172.18.22.3/53

To give some clarification:

172.18.22.3      is one of our DNS servers

172.18.22.156  is a device we're experimenting with.

We've bypassed the Cisco by using a 4G wireless router with this same device - and it works flawlessly.

Here is a [scrubbed] copy of our config. It is what I inherited from the previous admin - I'm not sure of all its finer points (I'm not Cisco certified -- perhaps I'm just certifiable.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without looking at your config: You need to find out why your client .156 sends the packets to the ASA when he wants to reach your internal DNS. As they are both in the same subnet, the ASA shouldn't see that traffic. Start your troubleshooting at the IP-config and routing-config of the client.

Hello Karsten,

Thanks for a very prompt response. I do apreciate it.

Sadly I do not have access to the IP-config nor routing-config of the client. They're "black box units". They obtain IP address from our DHCP server - that is pretty much all I know about them.

Any other suggestions?

Are there other clients with that problem? Have you doublechecked the DHCP-Scope?

Thanks again Karsten,

No - no other users.

Did discover that when pinging the device the reply is being rejected by the firewall. All are in agreement that this sort of traffic should not be seen at the firewall level so we're really not sure what is going on.

Almost seems like the subnet of the device does not match the subnet of the rest of the network but it is nearly impossible to check b/c the device is not capable.

-knme

Are the other clients getting their IP-config also from the same DHCP-server? You can capture the packets that are directly leaving the problematic PC. If the destination-L2-address is the ASA, then the problem is in the client-config.
