Ping Failure Because the ASA is Not Translating Addresses

Step 3

class-map ICMP-CLASS

match access-list ICMPACL

policy-map ICMP-POLICY

class ICMP-CLASS

inspect icmp

service-policy ICMP-POLICY global

Example:

hostname(config)# class-map ICMP-CLASS

hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list

ICMPACL

hostname(config)# policy-map ICMP-POLICY

hostname(config-pmap)# class ICMP-CLASS

hostname(config-pmap)# inspect icmp

hostname(config)# service-policy

ICMP-POLICY global

Enables the ICMP inspection engine and ensures that ICMP
responses may return to the source host.

For a host to access a lower security interface, you must enable
ICMP inspection. However, to access a higher security interface,
you must enable ICMP inspection and the preceding access list.

Note

Alternatively, you can also apply the ICMP access list to
the destination interface to allow ICMP traffic back
through the ASA.

Step 4

logging on

Example:

hostname(config)# logging on

Enables syslog message generation.

If the ping succeeds, a syslog message appears to confirm the
address translation for routed mode (305009 or 305011) and that
an ICMP connection was established (302020). You can also enter
either the show xlate or show conns command to view this
information.

If the ping fails for transparent mode, contact Cisco TAC.

For routed mode, the ping might fail because NAT is not
configured correctly (see

Figure 82-5

). In this case, a syslog

message appears, showing that the NAT failed (305005 or
305006). If the ping is from an outside host to an inside host, and
you do not have a static translation, the following syslog message
appears:

%ASA-3-106010: deny inbound icmp.

Note

The ASA only shows ICMP debugging messages for
pings to the ASA interfaces, and not for pings through the
ASA to other hosts.
