Opening Port Range for Cisco ASA 5505

The Global command shouldn't be necessary. All this command is for really is for specifying your outbound NATting.

The Static NAT should work without the public IP address being specified as the static nat will add this to your external for you.

Thanks smurf
Hhhmmm..that's a little bit weird then, because when I've used the command that SOlo had outlined, it did not work. When I've added the global command, things started working.

I'll experiment more on this.

Thanks

I don't see why it can't work without the global . global works in conjunction with the nat command to do dynamic NAT for outbound traffic. But your running a server, the static NAT should be enough!!. Can you post your config and drop a few details about what you're trying to do? You can mask out any private info from the config.

To be honest i have never tried it but in theory i dont see why the global command is needed if you are only using a StaticNAT.

Hmm, i have myself pondering now, not got my Cisco kit yet though so cannot test it (well, i have my Cisco 2950 Switch and 2 x Cisco 2611 routers but not my Pix515 and ASA5510....but they will be coming )

hi guys,


just to confirmed, yes it will work without the additional global command. I've just tried it and tested.

Now I'm wondering why it was not working the first time. Well, anyways I guess I'll investigate this more once I have the time.

Thanks again for all the help.

Glad it worked
