I think the TTL is decremented on the egress interface, so this is normal 
behavior.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] Traceroute through ASA

Hi,

I've got the ASA set up such that it appears in traceroute output, which it 
does, but in an odd way which I wanted to ask if it was normal behavior.

My network is setup as follows.

SW-VLAN 20 (10.100.20.11) ------- (10.100.20.2) Fa0/0.20 - Router R2 - Fa0/0.2 
(10.100.2.2) -----------(10.100.2.20) inside - ASA - outside (10.100.1.10) 
------------ (10.100.1.1) Fa0/0 - Router R1

When I trace from the switch (SW) to 1.1.1.1 which is a Loopback IP on Router 
R1, I get the "outside" interface of the ASA appear in the traceroute, as 
opposed to the "inside" interface which I was expecting to appear.

Switch-SW01#trace 1.1.1.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 1.1.1.1

  1 10.100.20.2 0 msec 0 msec 4 msec
  2 10.100.1.10 4 msec 0 msec *
  3 10.100.1.1 0 msec 0 msec *


When I trace from Router R1, which is on the outside of the ASA to an IP on the 
switch, I get the "inside" interface of the ASA appear in the traceroute, and 
not the "outside" interface IP.

Router-R1#trace 10.100.20.11

Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 10.100.20.11

  1 10.100.2.10 0 msec 0 msec *
  2 10.100.2.2 0 msec 0 msec 0 msec
  3 10.100.20.11 0 msec 0 msec *


Is this normal behavior ?
