5. Transparent or Routed Firewall 

Unicast IPv4 and IPv6 traffic is allowed through the transparent firewall automatically from a higher
security interface to a lower security interface, without an ACL.

Broadcast and multicast traffic can be passed using access rules.

The following destination MAC addresses are allowed through the transparent firewall. Any
MAC address not on this list is dropped.
• TRUE broadcast destination MAC address equal to FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
• IPv4 multicast MAC addresses from 0100.5E00.0000 to 0100.5EFE.FFFF
• IPv6 multicast MAC addresses from 3333.0000.0000 to 3333.FFFF.FFFF
• BPDU multicast address equal to 0100.0CCC.CCCD
• AppleTalk multicast MAC addresses from 0900.0700.0000 to 0900.07FF.FFFF

The transparent mode ASA does not pass CDP packets packets, or any packets that do not have a valid EtherType greater than or equal to 0x600. An exception is made for BPDUs and IS-IS, which are supported.

To prevent loops using the Spanning Tree Protocol, BPDUs are passed by default. To block BPDUs, you need to configure an EtherType ACL to deny them. If you are using failover, you might want to block BPDUs to prevent the switch port from going into a blocking state when the topology changes.

When the ASA runs in transparent mode, the outgoing interface of a packet is determined by performing a MAC address lookup instead of a route lookup. Route lookups, however, are necessary for the following traffic types:
• Traffic originating on the ASA
• Traffic that is at least one hop away from the ASA with NAT enabled
Voice over IP (VoIP) and DNS traffic with inspection enabled, and the endpoint is at least one hop
away from the ASA.

By default, all ARP packets are allowed through the ASA. You can control the flow of ARP packets by enabling ARP inspection.

Because the ASA is a firewall, if the destination MAC address of a packet is not in the table, the ASA
does not flood the original packet on all interfaces as a normal bridge does. Instead, it generates the
following packets for directly connected devices or for remote devices:
• Packets for directly connected devices—
• Packets for remote devices—

Transparent Mode Default Settings - The default mode is routed mode.
• By default, all ARP packets are allowed through the ASA.
• If you enable ARP inspection, the default setting is to flood non-matching packets.
• The default timeout value for dynamic MAC address table entries is 5 minutes.
• By default, each interface automatically learns the MAC addresses of entering traffic, and the ASA
adds corresponding entries to the MAC address table.

7. Ping from ASA Internal Interface to outside

Note: 11.11.11.11 is local LAN interface, and 1.1.1.2 is another ASA's WAN Interface. The ping from local ASA LAN Interface to Outside is faild, because the ASA by default maintains a state table for TCP & UDP connections only. It’s not that the pings aren’t successful, its just the ASA does not allow the echo reply from an interface with a lower configured security-level. Solution will be in this post with using ASDM turn on your icmp inspect in your global policy.

ciscoasa(config)# packet-tracer input WAN icmp 11.11.11.11 8 0 1.1.1.2 detail Phase: 1 Type: ROUTE-LOOKUP Subtype: input Result: ALLOW Config: Additional Information: in   1.1.1.0         255.255.255.0   WAN Phase: 2 Type: ACCESS-LIST Subtype:  Result: DROP Config: Implicit Rule Additional Information:  Forward Flow based lookup yields rule:  in  id=0xd98d6050, priority=111, domain=permit, deny=true         hits=4, user_data=0x0, cs_id=0x0, flags=0x4000, protocol=0         src ip/id=0.0.0.0, mask=0.0.0.0, port=0         dst ip/id=0.0.0.0, mask=0.0.0.0, port=0, dscp=0x0         input_ifc=WAN, output_ifc=WAN Result: input-interface: WAN input-status: up input-line-status: up output-interface: WAN output-status: up output-line-status: up Action: drop Drop-reason: (acl-drop) Flow is denied by configured rule

For the icmp traffic to ASA itself, the command is in the following:

ciscoasa(config)# sh run icmp icmp unreachable rate-limit 1 burst-size 1 icmp permit any WAN icmp permit any LAN

Note: If there is NAT enabled from Internal to External, you may need to add a access-list to allow icmp echo-reply packet in to external interface.

8. Enable Logging

9. NAT 

• Dynamic nat (Global)

• object network inside-subnet
   subnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
   nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface

• Static nat with Objects

• object network webserver-external-ip
   host 198.51.100.101
  !
  object network webserver
   host 192.168.1.100
   nat (dmz,outside) static webserver-external-ip service tcp www www

Following is From fir3net.com's Post

There are now 2 types of NAT. Auto and Manual NAT.

• Auto NAT - Only the source is used as a match criteria when NAT`ing.
• Manual NAT - The source and destination is used as a match criteria when NAT`ing.

Auto NAT

Auto NAT only considers the source address when performing NAT. Based on this Auto NAT is only used for Static or Dynamic NAT.
When configuring Auto NAT is is configured within an object.

Example

Below is an example of a static NAT.

asa(config)# object network obj-server
asa(config-network-object)# host 192.168.100.1 <-- REAL IP
asa(config-network-object)# nat (inside,outside) static 88.88.88.1 <-- MAPPED IP

After configuring this NAT and looking at the configuration we can see the configuration in 2 places ; NAT and object.

asa# show run object
object network obj-server
  host 192.168.100.1

asa# show run nat
object network obj-server
  nat (inside,outside) static 88.88.88.1

Manual NAT

Manual NAT considers either only the source or the source and destination address when performing NAT. Manual NAT can be used for (pretty much) all types of NAT i.e NAT exempt, policy NAT etc.

Because Manual NAT can also NAT the source and destination within a single statement it is also known as twice NAT.
Unlike Auto NAT which is configured within an object, Manual NAT is configured directly from the global configuration mode. However only objects are used within the Manual NAT rule rather then IP addresses directly.

Example

Below is an example of static NAT where only the source is considered for NAT. However this is typically done with Auto NAT.

object network obj-server-private
  host 192.168.100.1
object network obj-server-public
  host 88.88.88.88

nat (DMZ,outside) source static obj-server-private obj-server-public

Below shows the syntax is we wanted to consider both the source and destination. This method (twice NAT) is also used for NAT exempt (click here for article) 

nat (real_ifc,mapped_ifc) source static REAL-SRC MAPPED-SRC destination static REAL-DST MAPPED-DST

NAT Order

NAT is order within 3 sections.

• Section 1 – Manual NAT
• Section 2 – Auto NAT
• Section 3 – Manual Nat After-Auto

By default only sections 1 and 2 are used. However should you need to place a manual NAT rule after Auto NAT you can specify the keyword after-auto when configuring a Manual NAT rule to place it within Section 3.

nat (real,mapped) [after-auto] [Line#] .........

To view the order of precedence the "show nat" command is used. 

10. Access Rules

Enable traffic between interfaces which are configured with same security level

Inbound and Outbound Rules
You can configure access rules based on the direction of traffic:
• Inbound—Inbound access rules apply to traffic as it enters an interface. Global and management access
rules are always inbound.
• Outbound—Outbound rules apply to traffic as it exits an interface.
“Inbound” and “outbound” refer to the application of an ACL on an interface, either to traffic entering the
ASA on an interface or traffic exiting the ASA on an interface. These terms do not refer to the movement of traffic from a lower security interface to a higher security interface, commonly known as inbound, or from a higher to lower interface, commonly known as outbound.
Note
An outbound ACL is useful, for example, if you want to allow only certain hosts on the inside networks to access a web server on the outside network. Rather than creating multiple inbound ACLs to restrict access,

• access-list (ACLs)
• Traffic going from a lower security interface is denied when going to a higher security interface
• Traffic going from a higher security interface is allowed when going to a lower security interface
•  Examples 1:

  access-list outside_acl extended permit tcp any object webserver eq www
  !
  access-group outside_acl in interface outside

•  Examples 2:

• object network dns-server
   host 192.168.0.53
  !
  access-list dmz_acl extended permit udp any object dns-server eq domain
  access-list dmz_acl extended deny ip any object inside-subnet
  access-list dmz_acl extended permit ip any any
  !
  access-group dmz_acl in interface dmz

13. ICMP/SSH/ASDM to another interface behind one interface

I met same issue as the post "Failed to locate egress interface...".
Topology:



Symptom:
IP Computer 1 is able to reach IP computer 2 , but not firewall ASA's IP inside2, even it is in same segment as IP Computer2.

Solution from the post:

"Cisco firewalls do not allow ICMP from behind one interface to another interface on the same device. The only exception to this is when traffic is coming through VPN and a specific configuration command has been entered to the device to which you are trying to ICMP from behind a VPN connection.

So if Computer 1 needs to ICMP Inside 2 then the firewall that has the Inside 2 interface must be configured with the command

management-access
