Question

Portmap translation creation failed

Asked by: kingging

Dear all,

i have currently got the above error message and i know it is a conflict between the newly create nat 2 and a static (prob the ftp one) but i dont know what the best way is to resolve it

normally i would test til it worked but i cannot have any downtime in the next 2 weeks and need to solve this problem yesterday

the config is posted below so any tips or advise about the above problem or in general for the config would be much appreciated

thanks

alex t

Can you post the complete error message? It should list the source and destination for the request that failed. We need that information.

 

by: kinggingPosted on 2005-03-14 at 05:41:44ID: 13534703

hi lrmoore,

i thought i would make this a new case instead of posting to the one you helped with yesterday

the complete error message is

portmap translation creation failed for icmp src inside 192.168.11.213 dst dmz:Ruhrgas (type 8, code 0)

i hope this helps

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2005-03-14 at 05:57:30ID: 13534836

Here's the issues. I've listed all the relevent config lines so you can see what the problem is easier..

>nat (inside) 2 access-list parentvpn 0 0
>global (dmz) 2 10.199.87.0-10.199.87.250
>name 10.165.23.13 Ruhrgas
>ip address dmz 10.46.7.240 255.255.255.0
>route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 193.177.103.153 1
>route dmz 10.155.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.46.7.240 1

1- Nat #2 acl "parentvpn" does not include source 192.168.11.213 and/or host Ruhrgas
 try adding
    access-list parentvpn permit ip 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 host Ruhrgas
2- Rout dmz does not include host Ruhrgas as a destination.
 add:
    route dmz 10.165.23.0 255.255.255.0 10.46.76.xx <-- where xx = next hop pix fw
3- Pix does not know to route this destination out the dmz interface.
4 - "route dmz" statements points to yourself, not the next hop. It must point to the next hop

I'll be out of touch the next few hours. Don't think I've given up on you....

looks like that error has gone but still unable to ping their firewall at our side which i can from our firewall and also unable to ping their server

so in other words unable to ping anything in the DMZ, i get a deny inbound icmp src dmz which i can resolve but i was hoping you could have a look at what i do have now and see if you can see anything that is realy wrong

>unable to ping their firewall at our side which i can from our firewall
You have to allow icmp in on the dmz interface with an acl

>and also unable to ping their server
What is the IP add of their server? This part could very well be their issue not yours.

>what time zone are you in
Central TZ, US

Morning lrmoore,

on the routers you can view or debug the ip nat translations, are you able to on the firewall to to see if the nat is working as that could be a reason why i can ping the firewall but not their server

thanks

lrmoore,

i had a brainwave, the ping should not work as we have a ISDN line as a link now and the reply is being sent back over that so we will make the changes at their end today and test it

they could see my ping's go through their firewall with the correct NAT'ted address

so for now i would like to thank you
