• How to limit the ICMP on the PIX firewall.

  Guys good day!

  I have a dilemma with regard to limiting ICMP users browsing to other networks such as other demilitarized interns.

  I know that, to allow ICMP to pass through interfaces, you will need to create an ACL such as below:

  access-list DMZACL allow icmp a whole

  Users require this config ping a server on the DMZ, but it is a security risk.

  To minimize, I have a group of objects created in order to identify hosts and networks is allowed to have access to the echo-replies.

  Again, this is a problem since many host who extended pings just to monitor the connectivity server and its application.

  Do you have other ideas guys?

  As to limiting the echo answers on the PIX. As first 5 echo request succeed with 5 echo-replies and the rest would be removed.

  This could be done?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Hello.. I don't think you can do this by using an ACL on the PIX, however, you might be able to stop the ICMP sweeps by activating CODES signatures using the check ip command you... For more information see the link below

  Guidelines of use Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS Cisco) provides the following for IP-based systems:

  ? Audit of traffic. The application of signatures will be audited only as part of an active session.

  ? Apply to the verification of an interface.

  ? Supports different auditing policies. Traffic that matches a signature triggers a range of configurable

  actions.

  ? Disables signature verification.

  ? Always turns the shares of a class of signature and allows IDS (information, attack).

  The audit is performed by looking at IP packets to their arrival at an input interface, if a packet triggers

  a signature and the action configured does not have the package, and then the same package may trigger another

  signatures.

  Firewall PIX supports inbound and outbound audit.

  For a complete list signatures of Cisco IDS supported, their wording and whether they are attacking or

  informational messages, see Messages in Log System Cisco PIX Firewall.

  See the User Guide for the Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System Version 2.2.1 for more information

  on each signature. You can view the? NSDB and Signatures? Chapter of this guide at the following

• Ping on the PIX firewall

  Is it possible to ping directly from low security high security without translations on a PIX?

  For example, 192.168.2.90 is currently natted to 10.0.0.4 by the pix. I want to ping directly from 192.168.2.4 to 10.0.0.4.

  I can certainly ping directly from 10.0.0.4 to 192.168.2.4.

  Please let me know if you would like to see the complete config.

  I hope I understand your question completely. You try to ping from one interface to another on your PIX. This URL explains how this can be done.

• VPN with usernames in the pix firewall

  Is there anyway to make my VPN connections in my specific user pix?

  I know it's possible with the concentrator 3000 but don't know if you can do it with a pix. I have about 10 people who need VPN in.

  Can each VPN cause a different password?

  Reason is: if I let go 1 person I don't want to have to worry about changing the passwords for all the world just deleting an account.

  Thank you

  Anthony

  In a PIX VPN connection should always be authenticated with a name of username/password extra for extra security. Up to v6.3 you used to have to store these names of user and password to an external Radius/GANYMEDE server, but to the point 6.3 now you can use the local user on the PIX database to store these.

  The commands are:

  > the client authentication card crypto LOCAL

  > user_name password

  You can have as many orders "... user name. "as you wish. If someone leaves your company simply remove it the name of the list.

• NAT order of operation on the PIX firewall

  Hi all.

  Can someone refer me to a document that clearly explains the order of operations on a PIX w firewall NAT / code 6.3 (3) or 6.3 (5)?

  The statements are first aveluated? Static Nat, static policy NAT, NAT/PAT dynamics and so forth, for outbound connections?

  And for incoming connections? I know that xlate table is checked on the first place for incoming connections, but, assuming that there is no entry corresponds to an incoming packet... What is the medal in which NAT set out are avaluated?

  TKS in advance.

• Configuration of the PIX firewall Interface

  Hello

  On a PIX 525 running ver 6.3 4 port 10/100 card installed it will be possible to configure interfaces as follows:

  E0 - inside interface

  E1 - failover stateful Firewall

  E2 - Firewall failover monitoring link

  E5 - outside interface

  I'm basically is unsure as to if it is possible to move the external interface to its default configuration as e0 to E5, and even if it will be possible to specify e0 as the interface instead of the default E1 confiuration inside = inside.

  Another quickie - I guess that with the additional 4 port 10/100 card installed my interfaces will be numbered e0 - e5. Is this correct?

  Thank you.

  Said Cisco documentation is not possible to change the name and the security level of inside interface, but I experience it is possible:

  nameif ethernet1 failover security50

  nameif ethernet5 off security0

  etc...

  I would not recommend doing in a production environment because it would create a lot of confusion...

  525 has two fixed interfaces e0 e1 - card expansion port 4 should therefore be numbered e2, e3 (from left to right)

  Hope that helps the rate if it isn't

• Outlook web app on the pix firewall

  Hi guru firewall,.

  Can someone here help me install my firewall cisco to work for external outlook web access. I changed a few settings and do turn internally... However I can't access outside.

  That means, when I open outlook web app on our LAN that it works, but when I try to open it via internet ISP I can not open it... "page not found".

  Pls advice how you it is resolved through the configuration of firewall pix if anyone of you has met the same thing.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Best regards

  Jeric

  Jeric,

  I am very surprised to read this thread. I really appreciate your effort to do this task.

  I said, listen to me, don't forget to add a statement static so that this works, but I'm not saying you port coz I'm still looking for it.

  I had a good conversation with our cisco consultant Ken. I show him the config and it's what Ken told me to do.

  We lack this static entry.

  public static tcp (indoor, outdoor) interface www inside_mail_server www netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

  also add to this list of access

  ACL_OUT list access permit tcp any host 203.125.100.246 eq www

  Pls let me know the result. Hope that the system will work.

  PLS, do not forget to 'Clearly Xlate' and save it.

  See you soon.

• Helps to configure the pix firewall 507e for e-mail access

  Dear experts,

  I called our provider cisco and ask for technical help regarding our current problem as we know on our set-up.

  She told me to convey my concern to the Cisco TAC. My friends told me to post it here under discussion Netpro.

  I am writing today to ask a few questions about my pix 506 firewall configuration.

  To give the implementation Details pls find below and attached seizures of the show tech command.

  We have subscribed the service DSL and Singtel give us 2 addresses valid public IP that is 203.125.100.246 255.255.255.252.

  I used 203.125.100.246 for my external interface of my firewall pix and singtel assign 203.125.100.245 to the DSL router. In this case, we will only use PAT for internet connection.

  Currently he works very well our Mail Server is resided in the Singtel Office having the ip address of 165.21.111.22. Not work that we can receive and deliver electronic mail on the internet, and we can also surf the internet.

  Now we intend to put our mail in our own network server, because sometimes we encounter slowness on receiving and sending emails. Pls check on the IP address below

  Our LAN IP address is 192.168.1.X 255.255.255.0

  default gateway, which is the IP address of the firewall pix inside interface is 192.168.1.1

  The new mail server IP address is 192.168.1.4.

  Here's what I've done so far.

  I created a static mapping for my mail server is here

  public static 203.125.100.246 (inside, outside) 192.168.1.4 mask subnet 255.255.255.255 0 0

  and modify the access list to allow smtp on our networks.

  192.168.2.0 ip access list ACL_OUT permit 255.255.255.0 any

  ACL_OUT list access permit icmp any host 203.125.100.246

  ACL_OUT list access permit tcp any host 203.125.100.246 eq smtp

  ACL_OUT list access permit tcp any host 203.125.100.246 eq pop3

  ACL_OUT list access permit udp any host 203.125.100.246 EQ field

  Access-group ACL_OUT in interface outside

  After doing it... I have loss all the internet connection, the email does not work... so I deleted immediately. because it causes network failure.

  I have rather edit it and create a static map like this.

  public static 203.125.100.246 (exterior, Interior) 192.168.1.4 mask subnet 255.255.255.255 0 0

  and modify the access list to allow smtp on our networks.

  192.168.2.0 ip access list ACL_OUT permit 255.255.255.0 any

  ACL_OUT list access permit icmp any host 203.125.100.246

  ACL_OUT list access permit tcp any host 203.125.100.246 eq smtp

  ACL_OUT list access permit tcp any host 203.125.100.246 eq pop3

  ACL_OUT list access permit udp any host 203.125.100.246 EQ field

  Access-group ACL_OUT in interface outside

  Saw what it did not cause a failure of network or interruption. I thought that it will already work with the config, I keep it and this is the current config now... But when I change the POP and SMTP settings so that it points on 192.168.1.4 which is the new mail server on our LAN. his does not work.

  To this day, we are in a discussion with my boss or not possible to create a static mapping on our new mail server address 192.168.1.4 to 203.125.100.246 which is already assigned as external IP address and is used for PAT.

  We are asking your help to know how to set up our internal mail server statically match our public IP address that is already used for PAT.

  Please check attached the tech release see the.

  Thank you very much!

  I'd appreciate your quick response.

  Your truth.

  Dennis Pelea

  Dennis,

  Can you please send to me your configuration full pix (unscrew sensitive information) to [email protected] / * /

  I am puzzled, why this configuration does not for you. I have several clients who use a public ip address for external intf more than several other services that use this single ip address.

  Thank you / Jay

• Integration with the PIX IDS firewall

  I read the Release Notes for Cisco Intrusion Detection System Sensor Version 3.0 S4 (1), and tripped on the new features of this version it pretends the integration with the PIX firewall

  How do implement you this? What kind of integration offer?

  Instructions for the sensor and the basic configuration of PIX can be found here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids8/13870_01.htm#xtocid23

  Instructions for sensor and PIX SSH configuration can be found here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids8/13870_01.htm#xtocid16

  You can configure the sensor to connect to the PIX via telnet when

  using the PIX inside interface, otherwise you have to use SSH.

  SSH with 3des encryption is supported in version 3.0 or later

  sensors for connections of PIX.

  Warning: If you use telnet with a version 6.2.1 or PIX more late or if

  you want to use SSH with encryption on any PIX, so you

  need a patch for your sensor. If so, open a case of TAC and demand

  the latest version of nr.managed engineering. Reference

  [email protected] / * / for any question.

• Telnet to the PIX from the outside

  I tried the task through several suggestions.

  None of which worked. My last try was using this link.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/customer/products/sw/secursw/ps2120/products_user_guide_chapter09186a0080089bd6.html

  PIX VPN client works fine however I am still unable to telnet to the PIX.

  In addition, the document speaks of configuration on the client.

  Step 3 in the VPN client, create a security policy that specifies the IP address of the remote party identity and IP gateway under the same IP address IP address of the external interface of the PIX firewall. In this example, the IP address of the PIX firewall outside is 168.20.1.5.

  I see there is only one place to put an IP address on the client. There is no place on the client to a gateway address. I tried to change my gateway machine and it still does not work.

  Does anyone have a config to work on how to Telnet to a PIX from the outside?

  The step that you are referencing is for users who use the old client VPN CiscoSecure. Do you really use that? I'm guessing that you are actually using the VPN client 3000, in which case you just have:

  (1) an acl of encryption that allows the traffic of your address has been assigned outside the pix

  (2) a statement of telnet that allows telnet address assigned from outside

  i.e.

  no_nat of ip host 200.1.1.1 access list permit 10.1.1.100

  Telnet 10.1.1.100 255.255.255.255 outside

• Dynamic PAT on the PIX

  Hi Expert,

  If I want the range of dynamic ports NAT in 5500 to 5800, in my address public IP that a NAT IP address private, how to set up?

  Here is an example,

  public IP = x.x.x.x

  address private IP = z.z.z.z

  NAT x.x.x.x port 5500-5800 to z.z.z.z port 5500-5800

  The PIX firewall running OS 6.3 (4).

  Customer actually needs to activate it for ftp trffic which allow customers can dynamic port within the range of 5500 and 5800.

  Hope someone can help me on this, thank you.

  Rgds,

  To the Shaw feel Yeong

  I checked your configs... the only option you have is of static type using 219.95.73.28 which is not yet used.

  public static 219.95.73.28 (inside, outside) 200.1.1.X netmask 255.255.255.255

  access-list 101 permit tcp any host 219.95.73.28 range 5500-5800

  I also see that remotely using remote desktop access from the Internet. Make your customer aware that this kind of access are a risk of security as user names and passwords travel on clear text. I suggest remote VPN set up for remote access. Anyway... the instructions above will solve your current problem.
