Chapter 26      Troubleshooting the Firewall Services Module

  Common Problems

Symptom

You cannot ping the FWSM interface.

Possible Cause

You did not enable ICMP to the FWSM.

Recommended Action

Enable ICMP to the FWSM according to the 

“Allowing ICMP to and from the 

FWSM” section on page 23-9

.

Symptom

You cannot ping through the FWSM, even though the access list allows it.

Possible Cause

You did not enable the ICMP inspection engine or apply access lists on both the 

source and destination interfaces.

Recommended Action

Because ICMP is a connectionless protocol, the FWSM does not automatically 

allow returning traffic through. In addition to an access list on the source interface, you either need 
to apply an access list to destination interface to allow replying traffic, or enable the ICMP 
inspection engine, which treats ICMP connections as stateful connections.

Symptom

Traffic does not go through the FWSM from a higher security interface to a lower security 

interface.

Possible Cause

You did not apply an access list to the higher security interface to allow traffic 

through. Unlike the PIX firewall, the FWSM does not automatically allow traffic to pass between 
interfaces.

Recommended Action

Apply an access list to the source interface to allow traffic through. See the 

“Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 13-6

.

Symptom

Traffic does not pass between two interfaces on the same security level.

Possible Cause

You did not enable the feature that allows traffic to pass between interfaces on the 

same security level.

Recommended Action

Enable this feature according to the 

“Allowing Communication Between 

Interfaces on the Same Security Level” section on page 6-10

.

Symptom

When the FWSM fails over, the secondary unit does not pass traffic.

Possible Cause

You did not assign the same VLANs for both units.

Recommended Action

Make sure to assign the same VLANs to both units in the switch configuration.
