| [Config] [PIX 501] Logging Issue
Hello,
I am having an issue with my PIX which is preventing proper log anaysis.
When the pix is receiving unsolicited packets on the outside interface it is dropping them and logging the following:
Sep 11 19:49:28 pix Sep 11 2005 19:49:28 pix : %PIX-4-710005: TCP request discarded from 82.36.60.92/2458 to outside:123.37.130.123/www
Great I know! However mormally what i would be expecting to see would be:
Sep 11 19:37:38 pix Sep 11 2005 19:37:38 pix : %PIX-4-106023: Deny tcp src outside:82.36.60.92/2458 dst inside:123.37.130.123/www by access-group "outside_access_in"
which would indicate the request was denied by the ACL.
The logging analysis software (fwanalog) will only process entries that were denied by the ACL which is perfectly correct. When running the log though fwanalog it is ignoring the 710005 discarded messages resulting in nothing been displayed in the output.
Can anyone explain why the pix is not blocking using the ACL? Or at least (as I suspect) not reporting that it's blocking because of the ACL. Inbound access as defined by the ACL is working perfectly.
My config is below, you will see I have changed the level of some of the logging messages, this is purely to have them displayed at level 4 so I don't have to run with debug. The issues exists with or without this of course.
Any clues? Many Thanks.

| You need to specify such ACL with "log" parameter in order for the syslog server to receive such log. Here is a Cisco link for more info:
»www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/···p1067755
Here is an illustration. Let's say you need to know which unapproved IP address that is trying to establish TCP connection. Then the command is something like this
access-list outside_access_in deny tcp any any log
Keep in mind that such deny ACL should be placed after the permit ACL. Otherwise all IP address (including the approved ones) would also be rejected. |

@perr.blu | Added access-list outside_access_in deny tcp any any log and equally access-list outside_access_in deny ip any any log it makes no differance the same messages are still logged  |

Message was not logged because the request was not trying to go THROUGH the PIX but it was trying to go TO the PIX. I don't see www port being redirected to inside on the PIX. -- Not able to get online? Good!! Go out and meet friends  |

@perr.blu | reply to PixUser Ah! Spot on it makes perfect sense now. How did I know it was going to be something simple. Thankyou very much  |
