Local ACL/Invalid Traffic

ShawnLucas

Hey all,

Has anyone discovered a way to determine what, specifically, the firewall is talking about when it denies traffic based on a "Local ACL" or "Invalid Traffic?"

I'm struggling getting a CIFS client to communicate (getting host down messages) when all other devices on the network are using this share just fine.  (It worked before I switched to this firewall as well, so I know it's something in here)  I'm having trouble locating the reason why it'd be dropping this traffic.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

:)

    Local ACL/ Invalid traffic suggests that either a correct firewall rule is not created in the rule engine for that traffic or it does not meet the requested/expected TCP states or RFC specifications, case of an asymmetric routing etc.

    To pull out a proper log:

    1. Access CLI of the firewall and select Option 4- Device Console
    2. Execute the following command " console> drop-packet-capture "host x.x.x.x or host y.y.y.y"
    A host can be a source or destination to filter dropped traffic for a particular connection. Normal gates are supported for each of the syntax such as AND/OR/NOT
    3. For a broadcast drop, you will get logs as follows:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the tip, I will try to look at those packets. But... What you just showed us is an extremely easy example of dropping CIFS traffic on firewall device. It's obvious that Windows Share query will not succeed on a firewall device :-)

    I would love to see a little bit more complicated example; such as HTTPS traffic dropped and reason for it.
