Re: TFTP Not Working W CBAC for some reason

 Jason,

I am using real routers, though I would be surprised if that was the
issue.

In a previous post you showed the tftp-server command on R1. In the
config below, I see now tftp-server command. Did I miss it?

    Jason,

    I copied your ACL and inspect into my routers. I can tftp

          Hi Bob, I'm not sure if that's the case with CBAC or not, but I did try
          extending the topology a bit more and sourced the request from another
          connected device, but had the same exact results. Telnet and ICMP worked
          just fine, but TFTP wouldn't work at all.
          
          Along with my debugs I enabled alerts and auditing and really didn't get
          any more info' that way either.
          
          Thanks,

            Jason,
            
            I looks to me like you are generating traffic from the device that is
            doing the inspecting. I do not believe that CBAC can inspect connections
            that terminate on the router; they must go through the router. Try tftp
            from a device "inside" R0.

              Hello All,
              
              ...quick question. There are quite a lot of CBAC options available to
              use,
              but overall it's a pretty straightforward technology...at least that's
              what
              I've always thought and experienced until now. For whatever reason(s)
              CBAC
              doesn't seem to be allowing me to tftp. Here's the basic config' I was
              using:
              
              *R1:*
              
              tftp-server flash:test.txt
              
              int f0/0
              desc link to R0
              ip add 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.252
              *R0:*
              
              int f0/0
              desc link to R1
              ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 ip access-group 100 in
              ip inspect TEST out
              
              access-list 100 deny ip any any
              
              ip inspect name TEST tcp router-traffic
              ip inspect name TEST telnet
              ip inspect name TEST tftp
              ip inspect name TEST udp router-traffic
              ip inspect name TEST icmp router-traffic

              I am successfully able to telnet and ping to R1, but I can't get a file
              via
              tftp. i'm able to get a file via tftp just fine when ACL 100 is
              removed,
              but I can't seem to get CBAC make an opening for it. I do know that
              tftp
              uses UDP (port 69) and i am using dynamips. do you think it's possible
              that
              dynamips is too slow for CBAC to work with its default timers and such?
              doesn't seem like it has anything to do with it to me...without ACL 100
              applied, the file seems to transfer across very quickly.

              debug ip inspect detail output when trying to tftp:
              
              R0(config)#do copy tftp flash
