Without seeing your actual config, all we can do is speculate what may have
caused your issue with changing the IP address on the outside interface.

Subject: Fishy ASA dynamic NAT behavior after IP address change

Hi Group.

Just wonder if someone has come across this.

I was changing IP address on ASA 8.0(4) system which does selective
dynamic PAT like below, about 30 such N-pairs.
nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat
nat (inside) N access-list xyz
global (outside) N IP-address/pool

After IP change on outside interface, dynamic part NAT engine stopped
working. And it was a lot of [Scanning] messages severity 4 in the log.
Show xlat showed only static PAT entries, all traffic which was supposed
to get NATted or go via nonat ACL was just black-holed.

shut/no shut on outside interface didn't do. The only way I could fix it
is by ASA unit reload.

I checked open caveats for 8.0(40 are open/relosved for higher interim
releases, no luck.

Shall one expect restarting productin systems after IP address chenge?
Sounds na bit uts. :-)

Hints are appreciated.

Cheers,
A
