Question : traceroute from behind a pix not working properly
|
|
i have 8 clients that have the same configuration and the same problem
we have a pix 515e with the OS 7.0.1 i can ping out of the network from the machines on PAT and NAT
but
if i do a traceroute either from PAT or NAT i get the same problem:
only the last hop (the one that i am tracing) answers ie: Tracing route to www.yahoo.akadns.net [68.142.226.41] over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 * * * Request timed out. 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 * * * Request timed out. 4 * * * Request timed out. 5 * * * Request timed out. 6 * * * Request timed out. 7 * * * Request timed out. 8 * * * Request timed out. 9 * * * Request timed out. 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 124 ms 123 ms 125 ms p10.www.re2.yahoo.com [68.142.226.41]
i even tried to add, on top of the implicit outbound rule, two rules to permit icmp in and out. but no luck any ideas? thanks a lot TS

ICMP Inspection Engine Version 7.0(1) introduces an ICMP inspection engine. This engine enables secure usage of ICMP, by providing stateful tracking for ICMP connections, matching echo requests with replies. Additional controls are available for ICMP error messages, which are only permitted for established connections.
Use the inspect icmp and the inspect icmp error commands to configure the ICMP inspection engine.
For a complete description of the command syntax, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference.
