Cisco ASA 5505 Config help

Hi, I just purchased a Cisco ASA 5505 and built a config I thought would work but I'm running into some issues. I think the nating may be wrong but i'm not sure. It may be the Access rules as well. Basically I have 3 servers behind this firewall that are being hosted at a Co-lo. I have an internal network of 192.168.10.0 and each server has a 1 to 1 nat with the external addresses I was provided. 72.14.x.x/29. Right now, I want the servers to be able to access anything, and I want the servers to be accessible on port 80, 22, and a few others. Right now with my current config, I can ssh in to all of them, access 2 of them on 80 but thats about it. I built the config with the ASDM but I will paste the running config here:

Remove the outside,inside statics
no static (outside,inside) webserver_int webserver-ext netmask 255.255.255.255
no static (outside,inside) oracle_db_int oracle_db-ext netmask 255.255.255.255
no static (outside,inside) appserver_int appserver-ext netmask 255.255.255.255
clear xlate

>access-list outside_access_in extended permit ip any any
With this entry, you should have full access to any server on any port.
I would remove that line, and let the ones below it allow only specified ports.

>access-list outside_access_in extended permit object-group TCPUDP any object-group Blink_Servers_ext eq www
The object group TCPUDP is incorrectly used.
This entry should read simply:
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any object-group Blink_Servers_ext eq www

SSH works, because your SSH object group includes hosts, not protocols.

Thanks for the response, I can't try it out right now but as soon as I do I will update on progress.

With regards to Access list rules, should all rules be using the internal addresses since I have the NAT in place or do I have to use the external address still? Meaning should this rule look like this:
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any object-group Blink_Servers_EXT eq www

or

access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any object-group Blink_Servers_INT eq www

Ok I am still having major problems. Like I said, I can ssh into all the servers just fine, however I cannot hit them on Port 80. And none of the servers can get out on any port! Please help.

>access-group inside_access_in in interface inside
Start by removing the acl from the inside interface. Later we can lock down outbound traffic is you desire.
no access-group inside_access_in in interface inside

Also, try adding this:

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect icmp
inspect http

Check the default gateway on all servers. Make sure it points to the inside interface of this ASA..
What are these servers using for DNS? An external DNS server?

ok, really sorry about the last post. actually was a problem with my own firewall going out. I'm basically good to go now except some internal stuff which I will have to figure out.
I do have a question about port forwarding however. Is it possible to make a rule that states, anything coming in on port 80 hitting appserver-ext, be forwarded to port 2156 on webserver_int ?

Les Moore

Only if you use port xlates. Example:

no static (inside,outside) webserver-ext webserver_int netmask 255.255.255.255
static (inside,outside) tcp webserver-ext 80 webserver_int 2156 netmask 255.255.255.255

parlay_user

ASKER

so would that be the exact cmd I use?

Les Moore

Yes, copy and paste even if you want

parlay_user

ASKER

Thanks, that helped.

For some reson, each server cannot hit each other from there external ip? so if I try and telnet to each other on the ext ip on 80 it doesnt work?

ASKER

Here is 1 of the error msg's:

6 Oct 05 2007 12:33:45 302014 appserver-ext oracle_db_int Teardown TCP connection 3014 for outside:appserver-ext/80 to inside:oracle_db_int/51541 duration 0:00:30 bytes 0 SYN Timeout

Les Moore

No way. You cannot ever get to the external IP from another internal host.

parlay_user

ASKER

Ok understood, but I should be able to get from External to Internal correct? Here is the sequence of problems I'm having. I'm trying to hit an app for my network which succeeds

Then when I try to login it timesout

Les Moore

>302013 appserver-ext => appserver_int Built outbound TCP connection
From itself, to itself? This will definately break down.

parlay_user

ASKER

Normally I would say yes but all this worked fine with my other Firewall Astaro 120. And I was able to connect from server to server using external ip's. I need this to work.

With the old firewall i could run a wget server ext ip and get
Connecting to server ext ip... connected.

Les Moore

The Astaro firewall did not run the Adaptive Security Algorithm that the ASA uses in place of basic stateful inspection.
You can try this, but I can't guarantee it will work: add these entries back in that we took out earlier:

static (outside,inside) appserver_int appserver-ext netmask 255.255.255.255

parlay_user

ASKER

Now I just get:
3 Oct 05 200715:49:05 305005 appserver-ext No translation group found for tcp src inside:appserver_int/33095 dst outside:appserver-ext/80

Anything else I could try? I would think there must be away to do this?

Les Moore

I don't know what to tell you. The ASA is not meant to do what you are trying to do and this is a design "feature" of the firewall.
