Disabled Rule Denying Traffic on Cisco ASA 5510

Hi all.

I have another question open that is related, but figured I would ask this separately. I have a ACL that is denying traffic between my DMZ and internal network. I've set up Rules that I think should allow this traffic through. I have also tried some different NATs to facilitate going from the lower security interface to a higher one (though I still am not sure if they are needed or not).

I have disabled the ACL (LAN_access_out) that is blocking this traffic, saved the changes, and done a clear xlate. The ACL is still denying traffic.

Below is from the Log Viewer:

4      Oct 20 2010      18:27:27            192.168.55.5      65348      192.168.7.10      53      Deny udp src DMZ:192.168.55.5/65239 dst LAN:192.168.7.10/53 by access-group "LAN_access_out" [0x0, 0x0]

Anyone know what's going on? I can happily post config info if needed.

Thanks!

The config would help.  Between ACLs and NAT, there are a number of ways traffic can be impeded.

hehe yeah, I'll say. I though I knew this stuff pretty well before. But it's been a number of years and I am a bit stuck on this problem. :)

Below is the sanitized code. I grabbed this from the other post since I am at home right now and not logged into work. I've changed the config slightly, but the only real difference is the disabled LAN_access_out ACL.

anyone know what this problem is?
In general, some of your ACLs don't make sense, and I think this is the root of your problem.  For example, your outside-in ACL uses some object groups, and part of what you're allowing in the outside interface is traffic sourced from your DMZ network (192.168.7.0/24).  Which, of course, should never be coming in your outside interface.

So when we look at the error, it's referencing your LAN-out ACL, which says permit source from the DMZ to anything, and then we look at your DMZ-in ACL, which is permitting traffic from 192.168.55.0 to host 192.168.7.0 -- which is in the DMZ, and that's what the error appears to be referencing. I would work on cleaning up your ACLs and making sure sources and destinations make sense given the topology.

yeah, that is odd to see for the ACLs. I was adding a number of different things to see what I would get Hits on as it flowed through the ACLs.

This is currently what I have for ACLs:

access-list LAN_access_out extended permit ip 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 any
access-list WAN_cryptomap extended permit ip object-group TBNETs object-group colo
access-list DMZ_access_in extended permit ip object stage_dmz any
access-list LAN_access_in extended permit ip object stage_dmz object TBLAN
access-list LAN_access_in extended permit ip 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 any

I still cannot communicate from the DMZ to the Internal network and still getting access denied from the LAN_access_out. Should this work, or is there a problem with my ACLs above?

Thanks!

I forgot to disable the LAN_access_out rule while i was testing something else:

so this is my current ACL:

access-list LAN_access_out extended permit ip 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 any inactive
access-list WAN_cryptomap extended permit ip object-group TBNETs object-group colo
access-list DMZ_access_in extended permit ip object stage_dmz any
access-list LAN_access_in extended permit ip object stage_dmz object TBLAN
access-list LAN_access_in extended permit ip 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 any

and the LAN_access_out rule is still the rule that is blocking.
Need some time to digest.  I'll try to get back to this tonight.

Good point, and I'm not completely sure I would have noticed that.  But you're right, you have a single-statement ACL which is inactive, which would mean the implicit deny would still be in effect.  Good catch for whoever pointed it out.

No other answer worked, I answered the question myself.
