    Cisco 800 series issue

    Locked

    by jason.sincock ·

    Hi all,

    I have an issue with an 800 series router.
    We are using it as a backup connection for our email.
    When I created a nat for the emails to come through, normal emails
    would come through fine but any emails with an attachment on it
    would be blocked.
    In theory it should work because it still has the normal connection to
    use and the cisco’s connection as backup.
    I am wondering if there is a setting that limits the size of traffic
    coming through?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Jase

      Yes and no

      Yes there are commands that will limit the traffic going through your router. But no, that command will only restrict the flow of traffic, not the quantity. To your email would get through, just slower. Your cause is somewhere else.

          I can tell you that i doubt very much that the network is the culprit. My guess (from experience) would be possibly an antivirus, antispam or firewall system that withholds the attachments for some reason. specially if the mail itself, without the attachement, gets to the destination.

          So I would do a thorough investigation of all step needed for mail to get in and see which system has the ability to withhold part of the message (ie the attachement).

      NBAR

      Do you have NBAR enabled on your ISR 800 router?
      Or do you have CBAC rules that are inspecting Email and attachments on the router?

        Still denying attachments

        I checked this and the IOS on the router doesn’t have NBAR.
        I checked CBAC rules and none are configured.

          For those who are interested,
          we changed the router with a modem and found the issue
          still there so it looks like a problem with the mtu of the line.

          Thanks for the help
