Hi I have a host routerA connected to a switch port of 1841 (access vlan 6) and other port (access vlan 6) is connected to the ASA (inside g0/1). The ASA is connected to the outside world through g0/0 (outside).
I have configured PAT on the ASA. I have disabled "ip routing" on the ASA, such that it has switching functionality alone. Now I am trying to make telnet connection from the host routerA to a host in the outside world but I get the following error message on the router. % Connection refused by remote host I am able to ping the inside interface of the ASA from the host routerA. The PAT is not happening and the ASA is refusing the connection. If I remove the switch (1841) and connect the host routerA (from L3 interface) directly to ASA inside interface, the PAT is happening and I am to telnet. I am observing that when I use L2 ports, the connectivity doesn't go through the ASA. I even tried converting the ASA inside interfaace to a trunk and making the switch port into a trunk but still I see the same problem. For both cases using inside interface in access mode and trunk mode, ASA refuses the connection. What could be the problem? With regards Kings
