Hi
I am facing a problem with icmp in ASA 5505, i want to block the icmp from inside to outside , but outside to inside icmp should work, here the configuration.

: end
with this configuration it worked fine, but after rebooting the device , port 3800-3900 ports are not working, if i enable IP then ICMP and 3800-3900 ports are working,
What i need is
inside to outside icmp deny
outside to inside icmp permit
thanks in advance

Answer 1

If so then you need to have the specified settings on the inside and outside interface mapping ACL's....
outside to inside ( on outside ) interface mapped acl you can allow the entire icmp....
like
access-list inbound extended permit icmp any any
On the inside interface mapped ACL....
access-list outbound permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list outbound permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list outbound permit icmp any any time-exceeded
access-list outbound deny icmp any any
Have the above ACL on top of your IP/TCP/UDP ACL's so that it works correctly.....
This will allow any kind of icmp requests from outside.... but from inside it allows only the return traffic required icmp messages....
