PANOS 4.0.8 - How to determine cause of DROP

Not applicable

Very basic configuration, an any any rule and a PAT rule for nat... trust and untrust zones and a default route and an internal summary route... what is happening is that from a traffic log perspective its being ALLOWED, from a NAT perspective I can see the session built with two flows for each direction successfully and they go ACTIVE. However, the return traffic never comes back.

What I found when trying to dump pcaps on the box is that the traffic post-nat shows up in the DROP stage. However nothing in the default logs shows any drops at all caused from a policy perspective (again policy is very boilerplate)

Any way I can get more information on what is causing it to end up in DROP? additional dataplane debugs or something?


Thanks,

- Josh

Hi there,

Drop counters are your friend:

Set a filter to control what traffic is counted

debug dataplane packet-diag set filter match <criteria>

debug dataplane packet-diag set filter on

Show the drop counters (absolute or relative to last time command was run)

show counter global packet-filter yes | match drop

show counter global filter severity drop packet-filter yes delta yes

Cheers,

Kelly
