I have a Cisco ASA setup with two interfaces:

inside: 192.168.2.254 / 255.255.255.0 SecLevel:100 outside: 192.168.3.250 / 255.255.255.0 SecLevel: 0

I have a static route setup to allow PCs on the inside network to access the internet via a gateway on the outside interface (3.254):

outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.254

This all works fine.

I now need to be able to access a PC on the outside interface (3.253) from a PC on the inside interface on port 35300. I understand I should be able to do this with no problems, as I'm going from a higher security level to a lower one. However I can't get any connection.

Do I need to set up a seperate static route? Perhaps the route above is overriding what I need to be able to do (is it routing ALL traffic through the gateway?)

Any advice on how to do this would be apprecaited.

I am configuring this via ASDM but the config can be seen as below:

    Static route shouldn't be a problem; a connected route takes precedence. Can you try running a packet-tracer simulating the traffic, and provide us that output? Jun 1, 2012 at 16:54
  • can you post the config here Jun 1, 2012 at 18:02
  • Do you have any NAT rules dynamic or static, your right about the security level but I've never trusted it to work and generally find it good practice to add any rules I need. I agree with Shane run a packet tracer, it's pretty good at finding faults

  • If I do a packet trace between 192.168.2.150 (me) and 192.168.3.252 (device) it works fine. If I do the reverse, 192.168.3.252 > 192.168.2.150 it drops the packet at 'rpf-violated Reverse Path verify failed). I'm not sure if this matters though as the connections will always be initiated on the 192.168.2.x PC first

Do you have any access lists permitting that traffic? E.g. What does the outbound ACL look like? Are you setting this up via the command line only?

If you have access to the ASDM, run the packet tracer wizard to simulate the traffic you need.
