This is just a general question... is there a good way to organize the ASA's access rule list to increase its efficiency? Maybe by service or hit count (Top 10). I am using the Cisco ASDM 6.2 to manage our ASA 5520.
Looking at it looks very unappealing and I'm in the process of adding names and descriptions to all the Network Objects.
We are moving from a different vendor to ASA 5520s. So far my "training" for Cisco consists of s Cisco press book, some white papers and guides, this website, and a bunch of mistakes. So, I have what is probably a pretty basic question for most folks.
What is the difference between Firewall Access Rules and ACL/ACE? And when to use which?
for example: on my ASA 5520s I've set up an Interface for my internal LAN: 172.16.x.x., a DMZ 192.168.2.0/24, and an interface for the Internet side. The 5520 is set up as a routing firewall betwen my internal lan, DMZ, and Internet.
If I want to allow my internal users Internet access for http and https would I use a Firewall Access rule?For most of my rules allowing outbound access from my 172 LAN and DMZ and inbound access to devices in my DMZ can I mostly utilize the Firewall Access Rules?
Our company has recently upgraded our firewall from a Borderware Steelgate v7.1 platform to a Cisco ASA 5520 platform. Needless to say the interface on the Cisco platform is much more complex and I don't have much experience working with firewalls. Our other IT guy is out of town and this is the first time I have worked on this setup.
I need to create the following access rule
I need to open port 4**0 to be allowed through the firewall from external ip address 10.XXX.XX.XXX only. Then forward port 4**0 to 10.XX.XX.XX port 80 tcp
I'm having a problem with the memory and also trying to create some rules on the CISCO ASA. The version that I got installed was the 8.2.5.33 on a CISCO 5520 with 512 RAM, the memory usage is on 99% used, 1% free and because of that when I'm trying to create a new rule the firewall brings me the next error..So what I did was a downgrade to the version 8.2 (4) 4 and the memory went down a little (82% used, 18% free) but I still got the error when I'm creating an access rule on the device. One thing and I'm not sure if this could affect on the performance are the number of access list and the object groups that are created.
I already open a case with CISCO TAC and they are checking if the problem is with the memory capacity or maybe a memory leak.Also the doubt that I got is with the memory that I got now available should I can create access rules or 82 is still to hig to create a rule or and object group?
We have a pair of ASA running 8.0 (old) version. The way we create outbound rules is done through ASDM and when we need to open outbound connections to a server in the internet, we create named object with IP address configured manually.But practically , this doesnt work, since the server is a server name which can resolve to multiple addresses. Everytime the server chagnes its IP the ASA rule needs to be updated.Is there a difference if we add rules through CMD prompt as against ASDM where we need to enter IP addresses?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm encountering what I think is an issue on logging system on FW ASA 5520 - Asa Version 8.4(2), ASDM version 6.4(5). When I disabled the logging inside a rule from ASDM, or from console with the "log disable" option inside ACL, If I check in ASDM logging real time window I continue to see all the entry related to disabled rules. This is a correct behaviour about ASA logging ? How I can "hide" the entry related to disabled rules (this is what I need for troubleshooting purposes) ?

I have a static IP block and need to route to various servers. I know I can use 1:1 NAT or Access Rules and have success with each. The problem is my mail server. When I use 1:1 NAT, the mail is sent from the correct IP - the address of my mail server - and there is no problem with reverse lookups. However, I cannot block any ports when I use 1:1 NAT. I have tried it every way I can think of and even some suggestions in the forums that did not work. No matter how I set access rules, all port stay open in 1:1 NAT.
If I delete the 1:1 NAT rule and use Access rules to open specific ports, the mail server sends out the mail from the WAN address. The reverse DNS does not match and mail server will bounce the mail.
I purchased a RV180 router, and would like set the Firewall Access Rules as below
- Action: Always Allow
- Service: HTTP
- Source IP: Any
- Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): private ip (192.168.1.xx)
- Use Other WAN IP Address: Enable
- WAN Destination IP: one of public ip (different of the router WAN ip address)
- Action: Always Allow
- Service: FTP
- Source IP: Any
- Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): private ip (192.168.1.xx)
- Use Other WAN IP Address: Enable
- WAN Destination IP: one of public ip (different of the router WAN ip address)
The firewall access rules no problem within 1 hour after setting. I can access the http / ftp services by the WAN ip address. After several hours, I can't access the services.
I can set the one-to-one NAT rather than use the firewall access rules, but I would like block all other ports, and one-to-one NAT will forward all ports to the private ip address. Administrator > Logging > Firewall Logs , when I enable the settings, where can I get the log of the firewall?
I wanna block the Lan IP address(eg:192.168.2.106) to visit wan web, and allow it to lan.How can i set it in access rules?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble setting up the correct rules on an ASA 5505 I'm using in my home office. I have a couple of IP Cams I need to access remotely.
I've tried setting up simple NAT(PAT) and/or Access Rules, but it hasn't worked. I have a single dynamic IP for the Outside interface. Call it 77.76.88.10 and I am using PAT. The CAM is setup to connect on port 80, but could be configured if necessary. I've tried setting up NAT Rules using ASDM as follows:
Match Criteria: Original Packet
Source Intf = outside
Dest Intf = inside

I'm afraid to use CLI only because I am not confident I'll know how to remove changes if I make a mistake.
Verifying the operation of the ASA when configured with Global access rules. Does the global rule overide the interface security levels? According to the ASA order of operations, the interface specific rule get's processed first and then the global rules, but It does not say anything about interface security levels. Observing an ASA in production that has global rules configured I see that an interface with a security level of 50 that has no rules applied to it, passing traffic to the outside interface (security level 0) drops the traffic. Syslog shows that it hits the global access rule implicit deny. Does the implicit permit any to any less secure interface not apply?

I have an ASA 5520 in my company which does all our NAT and Firewall access control. Currently there is a rule in place to allow an incoming connection on port 2222 from a specific ip address to allow access to a web app our developers created. This is a test before the web app is released live. Now the web app can communicate with the specific address and port but the incoming connection on port 2222 isn't getting through. Everything looks great in the firewall but how can I log any hits this ACL takes to identify any potential problems?

I am configuring a 2921 with enhanced security using the CCP. I have found a behavior that seems strange to me and I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something or missing a setting. It seems that if I create a firewall rule to "allow" traffic through, that traffic gets dropped, but if I set the action to "Inspect", the traffic comes through fine. I can actually reproduce this at will by setting up a rule from out-zone to self to allow traffic and I cannot telnet into it from an external ip, but if I change that rule to "inspect" i can connect fine (i dont want that rule set up permanently, was just using it to test the firewall).
If I set the allow rule to log, I see the following line in the application security log:
(target:class)-(ccp-zp-out-self:user-fw-ccp) Passing telnet pkt 1.1.1.1:58141 => 2.2.2.2:23 with ip ident 0
(where 1.1.1.1 is the external laptop and 2.2.2.2 is my WAN IP address of the 2921)
So it looks to be passing the traffic, but that traffic is getting dropped somewhere because the connection is unsuccessful.
Is this the expected behavior of "Allow" action? Is there something I can do to make sure "allow" traffic actually gets through?
Here is the current logical routing path of the network I've inherited:ISP_ASA_1800 --- P2P link_ LAN, However, the equipment is setup up in this inefficient physical topology: Internet_ASA_LAN switch --- 1800 --- P2P link_LAN, The 1800 is the default gateway for all LAN hosts. This means that all traffic not destined for the LAN goes first to the 1800 which has routes for the Internet and for the P2P. If traffic is destined for the P2P, this is no problem. If traffic is destined for the internet, then in my opinion this is an inefficient routing path because the traffic ends up doing this:LAN host > switch > 1800 > back to the same switch > ASA > Internet, So I am thinking of setting up the physical topology to match the logical topology like this:Internet, ASA_1800 ---- P2P link_LAN switch_LAN hosts This means I will connect the 1800 and ASA directly to one another. Am I on the right track? Is this the best way?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've got what is probably a very basic question - but i can't figure it out.I have: Internet (ADSL) -> 2851 (ADSL wic) -> 5520 -> internal LAN (192.168.1.x/24)
The asa has just replaced a Checkpoint firewall.I've set up the ASA to the point where all hosts on the internal LAN have internet access (using a dynamic PAT on that network). This all works well.
The problem i have is i am trying to allow access from the internet to an internal host on a specifc TCP port (as i had done on the Checkpoint) but i'm getting:
Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse flows; Connection for tcp src outside:111.111.111.11/52135 dst inside:192.168.1.252/5555 denied due to NAT reverse path failure
From what i have read i need to add a NAT exemption for this particular use case - to avoid the dynamic NAT i have setup, but im not sure how to do so.I'm running 9.1 on the ASA, no VPNs yet. Just this basic setup.
I am new in ASA, I have the DMZ (10.1.1.0/24) configured on ASA 5520 and I achieve the reach Internet from DMZ (10.1.1.0/24), but now need reach DMZ from inside (172.16.12.0/24) and inside (172.16.12.0/24) from DMZ (10.1.1.0/24), in other words round trip.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Pix 515, and a question about firewall rules/access lists.I have recently created a new VPN group, and IP Pool.I created a firewall rule that grants access via TCP to a specific IP address from this firewall. However, when I test the VPN from outside the company, I find I can get to whatever server I want to. There is no allow any/any. I do not think there is any other rule before it or after it that would give that kind of access as most of our rules are for specific IP's and protocols.
The only thing I could think of is that we are using the account management in the firewall to authenticate the users. I am giving the VPN users level 3 access.I will probably not post my config as it is my firewall config, and it would be against company policy.
