Howto troubleshoot connectivity through PIX

Setup logging server

  • Download loggin server from http://www.kiwisyslog.com/
  • Install and start the server
  • Point the firewall to the server: logging host inside 192.168.0.99
  • Configure logging: logging buffered debugging
  • Enable logging: logging enable

Now you can monitor the traffic through the PIX in the syslog server.

If you do not have or do not want to setup the logging server you can use PIX capture feature:

ciscoasa(config)#access-list inside_test permit icmp any host 192.168.1.1
ciscoasa(config)#capture inside_interface access-list inside_test interface inside

ciscoasa#show capture inside_interface
