Thanks for the suggestions, however I did get to the bottom
of the issue.  It appears that the solution had been over
engineered from a NAT perspective.  Just about every device
that the packets traversed NAT'd some portion of the packet.
 Stripping the NAT out got the packets flowing and
performing as expected.

Subject: UDP NAT return rules

We have a distributed pair of Nokia IP380's running NG AI
R55.
 
We have configured security rules to allow access from the
internal network to the DMZ using UDP-20400 and return rules
fromt he DMZ to the internal network using the same UDP
port.
 
We have also configured NAT rules from internal to DMZ and
DMZ to internal.
 
When running TCPdumps on the internal and DMZ interfaces, we
see traffic entering the internal interface and exiting the
DMZ interface.  We also see the return traffic on the DMZ
interface but no return traffic on the internal interface.
 
Checking in SVTracker, there are entries for connections in
both directions matching the rules we have implemented for
this traffic, while the outward traffic to the DMZ has a the
Xlated destination and NAT rule listed, the return traffic
does not have a xlated address or NAT rule associated with
it.
 
So far I've:
Checked the objects are configured correctly, both device
and service Checked static routes are in the enforcement
modules for the destination, Changed the position of the NAT
rules so that they are at the top of the NAT policy to avoid
any clashes (although I don't believe there were any anyway)
with earlier rules Checked the Global policies Stateful
inspection for UDP protocol handling Checked the advanced
properties of the service object
 
Any ideas would be greatfully accepted.
 
Andy

Hi,
am I correct that you have senders of packets to port
20400/udp in the internal network as well as the DMZ?

If not - FW-1 works stateful also for UDP and ICMP. So you
only need one NAT-rule for the first packet. The answer is
allowed automatically by the state tables. Due to this, only
the first packet initiating the 'virtual connection' is
logged.

If you have senders on both sides, two manually configured
rules for static NAT might solve your problem. In this case,
you are more flexible and you can reduce NAT on exactly this
service.

Further problems might be analyzed by the command 'fw
monitor'. A good explanation of this command can be found in
a PDF from Check Point:

Hope it helps,
best regards,
Matthias
