Q: What might be causing this?
The ICMP ping traffic and traceroute traffic on the ASA are handled differently to a router by
default.
ICMP to an interface is replied to, but inbound ICMP through the ASA is blocked by default, as
traffic
is not allowed to go from an interface with a lower security level to an interface with a higher level
(outside 0 to inside 100 is not allowed). Outbound ICMP is permitted (inside 100 to ouside 0 is
allowed), but the reply is blocked by default
