Incomplete error

L0 Member

I have a Linux VM trying to send traffic over port 25 smtp and I am getting an incomplete message on the PAN-VM. I have done a few tests with port 587 and works fine, I have gone through the rules in focus detail to verify the rule should allow it but still no go. Any ideas where else I can look or tools to use to narrow down this issue? Thanks

Thank you for the post @razzitpca

 

Could you navigate to: Monitor > Logs > Traffic, then search logs to confirm what rule is getting hit? To filter logs, you can use for example: ( port.dst eq 25). If you are seeing: "incomplete" message in the Detailed Log View, this indicates that TCP 3 way hand shake has not completed: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClibCAC

 

In order to drill down more into details of the traffic, I would recommend to take packet capture on data plane interface with the filter for this traffic, then export it and check it in Wireshark: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClTJCA0

 

Kind Regards

Hello,

In my experience, it has usually been a routing issue. Check all of your routing as well as policy base forwarding.

Could also be that the other side is blocking your traffic over port 25.
