Cisco ASA - Allowing external access to a secure server via RDP
Solution 1:
Well, the NAT rules don't seem to be correctly set up. The port forwarding concept for Cisco ASA is a bit tricky:
Port Redirection (Forwarding) with Static
Port forwarding or port redirection is a useful feature where the outside users try to access an internal server on a specific port. In order to achieve this, the internal server, which has a private IP address, will be translated to a public IP address which in turn is allowed access for the specific port.
So, for port forwarding to an internal server threre are two steps you will need to take:
- Translate the internal server IP, 10.11.200.55 on port 3389, to the public IP address, x.x.x.x of your ASA at port 3390.
- Allow access to the public IP, x.x.x.x on port 3390.
