cisco pix 515 outside ping to internal hosts

Hi,

can this be done. I have cisco pix 515e and would like to ping internal hosts for monitoring purposes. i have no trouble pinging the outside real IP. just don't know how to accomplish pinging the inside IP. i would like to ping my mail server inside for monitoring purposes. i would like to restrict ping from a certain host. the mail server inside is 192.168.100.50 inside hosts have no problems pinging outside.

any help will be appreciated!

ip address outside x.x.x.111 255.255.255.240 ip address inside 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0

access-list 100 permit icmp any any echo-reply access-list 100 permit icmp any any time-exceeded access-list 100 permit icmp any any access-list 100 permit tcp any host x.x.x.112 eq www access-list 100 permit tcp any host x.x.x.112 eq 25 access-list 100 permit tcp any host x.x.x.112 eq 1001 access-list 100 permit tcp any host x.x.x.112 eq 1002 access-group 100 in interface outside

static (inside,outside) tcp x.x.x.112 1001 192.168.100.48 8080 netmask

Hi,

I believe that you would need an acceess-list permitting ICMP traffic to your global address.

e.g.:

static (inside,outside) mapped_ip_address real_ip_address netmask

255.255.255.255 access-list 100 permit icmp any host mapped_ip_address echo (echo-reply, etc) access-group 100 in interface outside

I pulled the above from the folllowing link:

Hi,

thanx for the reply.

i tried both, they do not work. noticed that i have 1 real ip address port forwarded to many internal ips. i do not think this will work, but i could be wrong.. so when i ping x.x.x.112 how does the pix determine which internal hosts i am pinging??

static icmp forwarding is not supported in PIX 6.x.

Sigh, you multi-posted instead of cross-posting. See my answer in the firewalls newsgroup.
