Nat – Problem with Cisco ASA 5512 NAT Configuration

cisco-asanat;

I need help to resolve this issue. I have a Cisco ASA 5512 and I’m trying to access to my FTP server from external IP but the packets are dropped. Please find the network diagram below:

I typed this commands:

object network FTPServer
 host 10.3.3.128
 nat (Inside,Outside) static interface service tcp 21 21
access-list Outside_access_in extended permit tcp any object FTPServer eq ftp

The packets are dropped by NAT rule, here’s the packet-tracer result:

Can anyone help me?

The IP address of FTP Server you used in packet-tracer input outside tcp 193.252.204.12 12345 10.3.3.128 21 is NOT correct, you should use 62.X.X.226.

Therefore, your correct packet-tracer command is as below:

packet-tracer input outside tcp 193.252.204.12 12345 62.X.X.226 21
You may need another similar object, rule and NAT statement for FTP Data Port 20 if it still does not work.

Your ASA configuration:

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1 1

This will provide a default route via the outside interface, but how will the ASA know how to reach subnets residing behind the Layer 3 Distribution Switch?

You'll need to add routes to the internal subnets via the inside interface using the Layer 3 Distribution Switch as the next-hop IP address.

ASA static routing example:

route inside 172.19.12.0 255.255.255.240 172.16.2.2
route inside 172.19.3.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.2.2
route inside 172.20.100.0 255.255.255.224 172.16.2.2

Your Cisco Router's configuration:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 200.200.200.200

Additionally, how will your border router know how to reach subnets other than it's connected routes, and the catch all default route via the outside interface's next-hop address 200.200.200.200?

Router static routing example:

ip route 172.19.12.0 255.255.255.240 172.16.1.10
ip route 172.19.3.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.10
ip route 172.19.100.0 255.255.255.224 172.16.1.10
ip route 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.224 172.16.1.10

You need to set up split-tunneling on ASA. That will allow you being able to access the Internet whilst using the tunnel. By default you shouldn't ever use "Default Gateway on Remote Network", so untick it.
