port forwarding issue on a ASA 5505
I have configured 2 cisco asa 5505 and they are connected via VPN tunnel.
the emails are going through the first firewall and should be redirected to the second firewall,
so I added those lines to the first firewall but the forwarding doesn't seem to work:
access-list inbound extended permit tcp any interface outside eq smtp
static (inside,outside) tcp interface smtp apfelcore smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
where apfelcore is the name of the exchange server behind the second firewall.
FYI I can ping the server but when never I tried to telnet port 25 I got a connection time out
I tried to send smtp traffic to internal interface of asa1, then forward the smtp traffic from asa1 to asa2 but that didn't work either...
I am trying to forward the https port as well and I am having the same issue so I believe that I am doing something wrong and stupid :-(
thanks for your help

Are you using the external IP for 'apfelcore' and have a Static NAT rule to translate 'apfelcore' to an external IP?
your two lines are ok.
do you have bound you access list to outside interface like following?
access-group inbound in interface outside

access-group inbound in interface outside
FYI on ping you will get answer from asa not from exchange-server because you dont translates ICMP-requests. but you will have enabled ICMP to outside-inderface.
Why not connect to the internal IP address of the exchange server if there is a VPN tunnel between sites? Or you specifically want to route SMTP and 443 over the Internet instead of through the tunnel for some reason?
hi JFrederick29,
for internal connections exchange is automaticaly using internal addressing because of all internal DC's are registered in common AD. only when leaving your domain (oragnisation) exchange is using external dns servers. but always you need to recieve mails from external servers and https access to you server for funktionaliy like OWA, OMA and ActiveSync-protocol.

Are you using the external IP for 'apfelcore' and have a Static NAT rule to translate 'apfelcore' to an external IP? No I am using the internal IP address. for apfelcore... I think I tried with the external adrress.
yes I have that line: access-group inbound in interface outside
so now I am going to try
access-list inbound extended permit tcp any interface outside eq smtp
static (inside,outside) tcp interface smtp apfelcoreexternal smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
and on the asa 2
access-list inbound extended permit tcp any interface outside eq smtp
static (inside,outside) tcp interface smtp apfelcore smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
I let you know

if first asa has already translated the second one will get a translated package and so it hast to prevent such packages fraom tranlation. additionaly you have to enable same-security-traffic if incoming interface is on outside and VPN-interface as well.

ok this clears many things.
on first ASA you will get your smtp and https traffic. because of the redirection to VPN you need to translatem from and to outside interface:
static (outside,outside) tcp interface smtp apfelcore smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
static (outside,outside) tcp interface https apfelcore https netmask 255.255.255.255
then you must enable same-security-traffic
same-security-traffic permit intra-interface
your traffic-selection for outside_1_cryptomap does not include traffic from any to apfelcore smtp and https
add
access-list outside_1_cryptomap extended permit tcp any 192.168.125.0 255.255.255.0 eq smtp
access-list outside_1_cryptomap extended permit tcp any 192.168.125.0 255.255.255.0 eq https
prevent smtp and https also from translating
access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit tcp any host apfelcore eq smtp
access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit tcp any host apfelcore eq https
on your second asa you have to prevent this traffice from translation and to add this traffic to your tunnel.

hope my drawing is correct, what you're expecting. two sites connected by VPN. first has ip of MX but exchange-server is placed on second site.

thanks Heiko and JFrederick29:... you are wonderful I am going to check that configuration and give it another try
ASKER
OK i had more issue so I am going to restart from scratch.
Heiko, when you said that because of the redirection to VPN you need to translatem from and to outside interface using the following command
static (outside,outside) tcp interface smtp apfelcore smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
where apfelcore is the internal IP correct?
I thought that having a VPN tunnel between the 2 servers won't require any other forwarding or routing but it seems that I am totally wrong. so will it not be easier to forward the smtp traffic going to the interface directly to the external IP address of the apfelcore server and on the second asa, redirect the traffic from the interface to the internal IP of the server. that way we don't have to use the VPN at all... well let me test it and I will repost the configuration tomorrow morning
thanks again for all your help
