Clarification of authentication PIX NAT and BGP

Hi all

I did some tests on PIX and crossing this area of BGP traffic.

When I configure the PIX to do no config NAT (NAT 0) and configure a BGP session between two routers (one inside) and the other on the outside net everything works fine.

When I configure BGP authentication, I may add the keyword "norandomseq" NAT and STATIC commands cause BGP auth embedded TCP header for authentication information. It's OK.

But when I reconfigure the PIX to make real NAT between the inside and the outside network and reconfigure my routers, BGP session doesn't happen if BGP authentication has been disabled. If I enable authentication BGP, I had errors of MD5 authentication on routers. (Note "norandomseq" is enabled for NAT and STATIC instructions)

Now my question is BGP unsupported for NAT on PIX sessions? (for my tests, it has worked for NAT 0 config, also all the examples that I always found working with NAT 0 config)

I think the problem is that the TCP pseudo-header changes to the NAT device and therefore it will never work right? Or is there any correction internal bgp which should fix this? I think it's almost impossible that this is known with the password simple bgp, right?

Concerning

Michael

Your reasoning is dead the. BGP authentication works like this: the sending peer BGP takes and MD5 hash of the TCP header before sending the package and includes this hash in the TCP header option. The BGP receiver receives the packet and also did a MD5 hash of the TCP header. Then, it compares its value to the value sent by the sender of BGP. If they match, all right. If they fail, the packet is ignored and you get error messages, did you see.

Because the NAT will change the address source TCP, the TCP header will be changed which should bring a different MD5 hash for the receiver that the sender originally sent.

BGP peer by a PIX authtenticatio is supported only in a Nat 0 or static identity with the norandomseq option is enabled.

Make sense?

  • PIX NAT and STATIC commands

    Hello

    My script is

    NAT (inside) 0 access-list sheep

    What is the difference between these two?

    Hello

    Function of static and nat (inside) ACL 0 is the same, that is, traffic from inside the demilitarized zone and the opposite would be allowed. The real difference is, when configuring nat (inside) ACL 0, you are really turn off the nat for this traffic engine altogther. Using the static, you disable the nat on the pix engine, turn PIX translations sort of mistakes, as real sense his translation TI. Note: nat (inside) 0 0 0 is different from nat (inside) ACL 0. With ACL option, you can connect the two sector, with only nat (inside) 0 0 its only from the inside to the dmz, dmz inside No. In a moderated network environment, you won't see much difference in terms of performance. It's just depends on condition, you prefer one over the other.

    I hope that its clear! Thank you

  • PIX, PDM and AAA issues

    I have a PIX 520 in the laboratory running 6.3.3 and PDM 3.0. I tested AAA authentication and authorization to our ACS server and run into problems.

    I have two groups put in place on our ACS server. A group can be accessed freely, the other group is set to the top with a Shell command authorization set that limit orders so that they can watch the running-config and a few other things. Users of both groups can connect to the PDM or SSH/telnet/series in the unit and are authenticated and authorized correctly.

    The configuration below works fine, until I pull the ACS server off the network. Because it is not any backup authentication or authorization to order method I am dead in the water. When this happens, I can always connect via the serial console, by using the 'pix' username and password enable, I just cannot run the command 'Enable' mode privlieged or any other control besides. (I get an error "Permission has no orders").

    Here's a current configuration:

    GANYMEDE + Protocol Ganymede + AAA-server

    AAA-server GANYMEDE + (inside) host 1.2.3.4 123456 timeout 5

    Console telnet authentication GANYMEDE AAA +.

    the AAA console ssh GANYMEDE authentication +.

    AAA authentication GANYMEDE serial console +.

    AAA authentication enable console GANYMEDE +.

    Console AAA authentication http GANYMEDE +.

    order of AAA for authorization GANYMEDE +.

    Is it possible to set up a backup method for approval of authentication and control? If not, is there any other way the problem I'm running into?

    Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

    Hello

    Sorry, I missed this earlier. There is a failure on the PIX for this and we have an open enhancement request to add several methods of authorization to the PIX - CSCea04538. At this point, your best bet is to bug of your account team to get this feature added to the code of PIX to come. Sorry for the inconveinence.

  • NAT and Site to site VPN

    Hi all

    We currently have a PIX in our local network. There is a Site to site VPN tunnel between this PIX and another network abroad.

    We have several networks in our local network.

    The VPN tunnel is on a single network: 192.50.175.0 / 24.

    and the network of the other site is:

    192.100.24.0 21

    Part of the configuration:

    inside_nat0_outbound ip 192.50.175.0 access list allow 255.255.255.0 192.100.24.0 255.255.248.0

    NAT (inside) 0-list of access inside_nat0_outbound

    As I said before, we have several networks.

    In particular, we have 192.50.160.0/24 too.

    And we would like that this network can use the VPN tunnel also.

    But the other site does not want to carry our another network in their LAN.

    They suggest we 192.50.160.0 NAT / 24 to an IP address on the 192.50.175.0 / 24, users in a network 192.50.160.0 / 24 can also use the VPN tunnel.

    Do you know if it is possible to do it with my PIX? And how?

    It's a PIX-515-DMZ, v6.3 (5).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Good point. You can be good then.

  • Site ads continue to use the proxy settings and I get the message "Authentication required" time and time again. I have stop advertisements to use my proxy settings?

    I have put my school proxy settings and use them very often. On some Web sites, ads continue to use these proxy settings (probably to show me ads based on my preferences or I don't know), and I get the message "Authentication required" time and time again before the end of the loading page. It's annoying because if I have several tabs open and am currently on another page while loading the website with the ads, I'm brought back to this page to authenticate. Can I get asked 3 times to authenticate while this page loads, and it takes forever to load because of this. I don't want to disable my proxy settings because I use it very often. I tried to uncheck the "Accept cookies from Web sites" and nothing happens, it's always the same. I want these ads to stop going through my proxy settings. How do I do that?

  • Order of procedure SonicWALL for routing, NAT and policies

    I'm confused on the prescription that the sonicwall verifies a package.  The way I heard the order, it will:

    (1) check against the access rules,

    (2) check against NAT Polies

    (3) check the routing.

    Installation program:

    Subnet point of VPN endpoint - Internet - SW NSA 2400 (VPN) - sub-network B (from C subnet)

    A subnet is 10.1.100.x/24

    Subnet B is consists of three IPs, 192.168.99.4,.50, and 109.

    Subnet C is contains the host IPs 192.168.13.4,.50, and 109.

    I VPN configured to allow traffic from 10.1.100.x to the hosts on the subnet B, what NAT and the host subnet C.  This method works more large, is not a problem.

    I need to reduce access to certain ports.  Once I set access restrictions in the port, the firewall blocks ALL.

    When I look at a screenshot of packets when traffic is blocked, I see the following:

    Source 10.1.100.5--> 192.168.99.4 accepted

    Source 10.1.100.5--> 192.168.13.4 refused.

    Block of code indicates that it is because of politics.  However the policy review should have been checked and checked already.  If I change the VPN policy to represent both sides of the NAT (ie. 192.168.99.4 and 192.168.13.4) then passes the traffic.

    If anyone can explain what is happening?

    I tried to look through some KB SonicWall has publicly available articles. But I did not see anything that doesn't seem to help. In this case, I think you might want to give SonicWall support a call.

    They can help to look over your configurations and see if we have to make changes. They should also be able to answer your technical questions about how the packets are received or managed.

  • IPSec Tunnel between Cisco 2801 and Netscren 50 with NAT and static

    Hello

    My problem isn't really the IPSec connection between two devices (it is already done...) But my problem is that I have a mail server on the site of Cisco, who have a static NAT from inside to outside. Due to the static NAT, I do not see the server in the VPN tunnel. I found a document that almost describes the problem:

    "Configuration of a router IPSEC Tunnel private-to-private network with NAT and static" (Document ID 14144)

    NAT takes place before the encryption verification!

    In this document, the solution is 'routing policy' using the loopback interface. But, how can I handle this with the Netscreen firewall. Someone has an idea?

    Thanks for any help

  • Mutual redistribution between EIGRP and BGP and match statements

    Hello Experts

    I'm working on a problem of mutual redistribution between EIGRP and BGP

    The idea is a beacon (210) on traffic from our LAN on R2 - 2 so that it can be put in correspondence and denied the R3-7. The goal is to prevent routing loops.

    The routes are redistributed in R1 - 1, but I am not able to see if the roads are being marked.

    Can someone let me know how to check the roads are being filtered with course maps?

    TBH, I don't think the market at all.

    I have attached the configs and view orders.

    I read somewhere the problem was with match type internal route command, but I don't know if this is the problem

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Topology and configs are attached.

    See you soon

    Hello

    You have 2 points:

    1. Deny the redistribution of EIGRP routes tag in BGP: you already have with your route map
    2. You must filter the roads scholar eigrp on R5 to them are not propagated in R2. I'll use a roadmap for the tag and the EIGRP neighbor. The configuration looks like:

    IP access-list standard FROM_R4
    license to host 192.168.1.2
    !
    !
    EIGRP-TAG route map deny 10
    ! subnets from R4 with tag 210
    match ip route-source FROM_SLDC
    game tag 210
    EIGRP-TAG allowed 20 route map
    !
    Router eigrp 65100
    ! Filtering of marked routes
    route map EIGRP-distribute-list tag in
    !

    Currently, you are missing a piece to import these networks R5.

  • Issue of ASA NAT and routing

    Hello

    I have a question about NAT and routing on the SAA. I'm relatively new to ASA and don't know if it works or not. I have a pool of public IP (209.x.x.x/28) that routes my ISP to the external interface of my ASA. IP was assigned address for the outside of the ASA is an address of 206.x.x.2/24 with a default GW of 206.x.x.1. I intend using NAT to allow my web/mail servers on the DMZ (192.168.x.x) use 209.x.x.x addresses. However, I do know how to make it work since I'm not arping on any interface for 209.x.x.x addresses as they will be sent to the 206.x.x.2 address by the ISP. Can I just set up a translation NAT (on the external interface?) of the 209.x.x.x on 192.168.x.x address and the ASA will figure it out?

    Thanks for the help.

    Todd

    The ASa will figure it out, he will answer ARP queries for all that he has set up in a "static" command As long as th PSIA routes 209.x.x.x directly to the ASA addresses then it should all work fine.

    You just need to add lines like the following:

    static (dmz, external) 209.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.255 192.168.x.x

    for each of your internal servers in the DMZ. Then an access-list to allow only HTTP/SMTP/etc through these addresses 209.x.x.x.

    list of allowed inbound tcp access any host 209.x.x.x eq smtp

    list of allowed inbound tcp access any host 209.y.y.y eq http

    Access-group interface incoming outside

  • PAT/NAT and VPN through a PIX

    "PPTP through the PIX with Port address translation (PAT) does not work because there is no concept of ports in GRE"-this is an excerpt from a config PIX version 6.2 and below.

    1. how this problem has been fixed in 6.3? GRE is encapsulated in udp or tcp to use ports to follow the connection?

    2. is it "fixup protocol esp-ike" use the same technology - the source port created by the IKE protocol? -ISAKMP cannot be enabled when you use this command

    3. What is "isakmp nat-traversal? How is this different from fixup protocol esp-ike"

    Thank you

    RJ

    1. when the PIX sees outgoing PPTP (TCP 1723 port) packets it now opens holes for them to return, as well as opening a hole for the GRE packets, it has never done this before. The PPTP TCP packets can be PAT would be fine because they are TCP packets. GRE packets, I believe, are followed by the id field only tunnel in the package.

    2. we use the source port of the ISAKMP packet for ESP packets as well. The current limitation is that if you have this option, you cannot use the PIX to close the IPSec sessions, so you can not turn on ISAKMP any interface. You can also have only a single IPSec client internal to use this feature.

    3 NAT - T is a new standard for IPSec to work through a NAT device peers, because they detect changes of address during the negotiation of tunnel and automatically encapsulate packets in UDP 4500. This market allows the PIX and the other device (if it supports it) to automatically detect a NAT/PAT device between them. This differs from the "esp - ike correction '' that the PIX ends not in fact the IPSec tunnel with esp - ike, but it is the endpoint in nat - t.
