Hi Joe,

First routing is checked to see what is the egress interface so that the ASA can guess if a connection is Inbound or Outbound. Then, if you have xlate for that packet, the xlate will tell ASA where to forward packet to. Finally, when the packet is virtually sent to the egress interface (based on the xlate) ASA resolves L3 next hop, and here it checks routing table again. If the route is different, the packet is dropped. Check it with 'sh asp drop'.

I could really use some clarification here. Here is my setup

ASA running 8.2 code. nat-control is not enforced. Requirement is that traffic destined to 192.168.10.241 on the inside will have the destination translated to 10.12.20.56 on the outside. Conversely, traffic sourced from 10.12.20.56 on the outside will have it's source translated to 192.168.10.241 on the inside.

My solution

static (outside,inside) 192.168.10.241 10.12.20.56 netmask 255.255.255.255


Now, I assumed going from inside --> outside routing happens first. So, I added a route like so
route (outside) 192.168.10.241 255.255.255.255 outside_next_hop

This failed to work. Only when I add a static route pointing outside for the REAL address does this work. This is baffling me.

Also, when running packet-tracer the first step is UN-NAT which I've never heard of before and can't find much information on. Can anybody explain why routing is happening POST nat here???
