View 2 RepliesI am trying to configure two ASA-5505 as a failover pair. Software 8.2.5 and ASDM 6.4.5.206 Using the wizard i get to step3 .. then nothing happens. Trying direct in asdm but the only interface i can choose is "--None Unnamed-"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Cisco ASA 5505 in our office. We are currently using Interface 0 for outside and 1 for inside. We only have 1 Vlan in our environment. We have two three switches behind the firewall. Today the uplink to Interface 1, to the firewall, on the switch went bad. I want to setup a second inside interface on the firewall and configure it as failover incase this happens again. I want to attach it to the other switch. Can I do this? If so, what do I need to do? would it only be a passive/standby interface?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a ASA 5550 firewall interface failover issue. (File attached).
when I shut down the inside interface Gi 1/1 of the left firewall(Active firewall), It failed to failover. but when I shut down the Gi 1/12 of the Core 1 switch, The firewall failover very well.
I followed this guide but I was not able to failover. [URL]
how can I configure so that when the Gi 1/1 or Gi 1/0 interface goes down, it can failover ? Code...
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 and I have my internal and external interfaces configured but I currently cannot ping from the inside to an IP Address on the outside. I had this setup and working and I have another set of equirement that I am replacing that is working with my service provider so I know it is a configuration issue. When I ping 4.2.2.2 for example I get:
Destination host unreachable
Do I need to add a static route from my inside interface to my outside interfaces?

have been tasked with completing a Cisco config update on an ISR.Client is running a Cisco 2911 running IOS version is 15.0(1)M6.They have added a new WAN interface to GigabitEthernet0/2 and are looking to setup a basic failover configuration to augment their current 0/0 Fiber connection.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have two sites connected by a gigaman line. Routing between the two sites is done with a couple of HP routers. We also have two separate Internet connections, one at each site, through different providers. The border firewall at one site is a Cisco 5505 and at the other site it is a Cisco 5510. If the gigaman line goes down, we would like to fail over to a site-to-site VPN. Any clue how to set this up? We can set up the site-to-site VPN. how to make it serve as a failover. Another question is whether the VPN will cause confusion when the gigaman is operational.

For example:

IP address 172.18.0.245, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.245 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.246
I want to change these lines to .....
interface ethernet5 "state"
IP address 172.18.0.185, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.185 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.186
I have two ASA 5540s, ver 8.4 configured in Active/Standby failover.I am also using the redundant interface feature for my Inside interface. Gig0/0 is the active primary and Gig0/1 is standby.
I will activate failover monitoring of the Inside interface using the monitor inside command.
My question concerns the failover monitoring of the redundant interface. If the gig0/0 connection were to fail would the Gig0/1 interface become Active, AND simultaneously result in a full device failover?
Or, does Gig0/1 of the Inside interface redundant pair simply become active and not change the Inside interface device failover state? Thus NOT resulting in a device failover.
From ASA 5520 we tested the interface failover it not working even the interface are getting monitor .
primary is active.
Manually we shut the outside interface of the primary device configuration is getting reflecting in secondary as outside interface shut. Interface failover not happen.
ii All the interface are getting monitor when we gave command sh failover. even though when we shut outside interface failove not happening.
how to do the interface failover in ASA 8.4 version.
I have a ASA 5505 which is connected to a remote site which also has a ASA 5505 over a L2L VPN tunel. One of the sites has a WAN failover configured with two ISP which is working successfully.
But, when the WAN connection fails over to the backup connection the VPN link breaks as the peer site IP address has changed and the VPN can not establish a connection.
Would it be possible to configure a VPN failover so that when the connection failovers so will the VPN tunnel?
There are 2x Cisco ASA 5505 in an active/standby failover config. The primary asa 5505 has been reset and the secondary is now running as active. I would like to reintroduce the primary again but need to know how to do this.
Ideally I would like to remove the failover config and start from scratch. Do I just need to enter the following to disable failover on the active secondary box?
no failover
no failover lan unit secondary
no failover lan interface failover Vlan999
no failover interface ip failover 192.168.254.1 255.255.255.252 standby 192.168.254.2
So we currently have a T1 connection at our location. We were looking to add a high speed cable internet and add an ASA 5505 with Security plus license to do failover between the two. I have found a few examples on how this would work but curious about a couple things.
We would want the Cable to be the primary, T1 as a backup.Currently the IAD that handles our T1 does dhcp, dns, and NAT.. Who/what would handle these items with the setup above?
Do I correctly understand that when two ASA 5510 are in fail over pair, the switchover from primary to secondary if one interface of primary goes down shall happen ONLY if failover link is up? So when the fail over link is down and one interface on primary got down also, interface tests between the two ASAs still are being done , but secondary SHALL NEVER try to become active.
In this case why to make tests on data interfaces ? What is the reason to make them? If the knowledge of that some interfaces of primary became down comes through failover link - no need to make additional interface tests - primary will tell about the failure to secondary. If so should run no monitor-interface if name command to dis load devices and network by foolish tests?
I have two sites that each have asa 5505's and each have dual ISP's. Currently I'm using sla monitor to failover to the secondary line when there is a detected outage. After this sla failover occurs which seems to be instant, secondary ISP re-establishes the VPN. This process takes about 30 seconds. My thought is that the side which is healthy does not detect the outage due to a preset amount of timeouts and thats where this 30 second delay comes in to re-negotiate the VPN tunnel. can I create a smaller window of time to heartbeat between the two so that the VPN outagage is detected in around 5-10

Obviously the ASA does not have a PCMCIA slot to reuse this aircard. However, I was wondering if there is another solution to use the existing aricard with the ASA.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding failover monitoring on the ASA5505 in an active/standby configuration.
I understand that on the 5505 you create VLAN interfaces and then assign the VLANs to the 5505 switchports. With failover configured on the 5505, the VLAN interface names are monitored. For example, VLAN 100 interface named Inside is assigned to ethernet0/1, switchport mode access. When issuing a show failover command the output will show the monitor status of interface Inside..
Does failover monitor the VLAN virtual interface only? Does failover also monitor the link status of the ethernet0/1 switchport?
I'm looking for automating a couple failover scenarios. Both VPN redundancy and black hole internet traffic redundancy.I currently use the more reliable T1 connection for the VPN connection and the DSL for internet traffic.My current configuration is working but requires a manual update to get the VPN or black hole back up and operational when either link fails.

I am getting this error on my PIX 535 with 8.0.4 code. The error is Error : OSPF/RIP cannot be enabled on failover interface, I am getting this error while trying to enable RIP on the firewall. The context is single mode and failover is enabled. When I am disabling the failover the Firewall is accepting the RIP configurations.

Currently the interfaces for the inside and outside are fixed at 100/FULL.I want to repatch them into GigE ports setup as Auto Negotiate.Is there anyway of keeping the connections through the firewall active in this type of scenrio or will l have downtime disconnecting and repatching? or could l possibly disable failover and reconfigure each ?

I have read other threads where these are accompanied by "105005, Lost Failover communications with mate on interface". But I'm only getting these 2. The other thing that is confusing is that the "management" interface is not the failover interface. So why do I see 105008/9 logs about it?

I have an ASA 5505 configured to get a DHCP'd IP address from the ISP on it's outside interface. The problem I am seeing is when the ISP renews their IP address, the ASA 5505 is still holding on to the old IP address information. I have to either manually renew the IP or reload the ASA. I have the potential of rolling out hundreds of these devices and I would not like my customers to have to reboot their ASA everytime the ISP's DHCP lease experies. I am using an easy vpn autoconnecting to an ASA 5520. Static IP's are not an option on the outside interface of the ASA 5505's.

Few week ago we purchase Cisco ASA 5505 as replacement broken Dlink DFL800. I try to configure all setting like it was on DLink, and all work fine with exception of one thing.
We have some resource like terminal server, that placed in internal network with configured static nat on ASA, some users use it from internal network and some from internet, but both of them use one DNS name for it like terminal.%company_name%.ru. all work fine for internet users when they try to reach server from internet with but internal users unable to use external ip, they even unable to ping external ip address from internal network. Yes i know that one way to solve this problem, is just to use internal DNS server so it can resolve terminal.%company_name%.ru in to internal ip address, BUT i want to know does exsist any way to "loop" trafic this way?
In DLink config there was 3 string in config that solve this problem
<IPRule Name="RDP_Terminal" Action="SAT" SourceInterface="any" SourceNetwork="all-nets" DestinationInterface="core" DestinationNetwork="InterfaceAddresses/wan1_ip" Service="rdp"

Can we make sub interface on Cisco ASA 5505 model and if its possible then do that interface need to be upgraded into Trunk Port.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have many new and very small remote sites that will be connecting via an ASA5505 using easy VPN. Works without an issue and we've got the configuration and process nailed down.
The challenge I was presented with today involve non-standard remote sites where I need to configure a third interface on an ASA 5505 and allow it to pass directly to the Internet and not go through the VPN. Configuration of the third interface, assignment and configuration of the ACLs / NAT(PAT) are straight forward.
The challenge I face and haven't been able to find a direct answer to is if it's possible to have the traffic bypass the easy vpn network extension process. At this time the traffic is going down the tunnel which isn't what I want.
I fear I'll have to build classic site-to-site VPN configurations which isn't a huge issue though it breaks all maintenance/operations methods, processes and I'll have to spend time training the support team how to detect the differences.
I setup a site-to-site VPN tunnel at the remote ASA5505. I am able to asdm to the outside interface but not ssh. I switch to telnet and still not allow me to access. I added an ACL to allow telnet any to the outside interface but still not working. In ASDM I see the log Here is the second issue. When I want to change the telnet back to ssh using ASDM I got the following error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to working with the ASA 5505 ,VPN and reverse NAT.
The basic setup is as follows. I'm trying to setup a IPsec site to site tunnel with reverse nat on the remote side.
I have as the tunnel up and it passes traffic. I have setup reverse NAT for 172.x.x.1 to translated IP 216.x.2.101 my ASA also has an IP address of 216.x.2.102.
Any connection from 172.x.x.1 to 216.x.2.1 should appear to be comming from 216.x.2.101
When I ping or telnet from 216.116.86.1 to an open port on 216.x.2.101 I get the banner from 172.x.x.1, seems like it is working.
However in my setup I'm only given a singel IP that of the NAT address 216.x.2.101, so when I remove the IP address assigned to the inside interface 216.x.2.102. all conductivity is lost.
When I set the inside interface to 216.x.2.101 and I setup a static NAT rule for 172.x.x.1 to 216.x.2.101, I get a message that says all traffic will be redirected and I will be unable to connect to the ASA.
Once thats in place, and I make any connection from 216.x.2.1 to 216.x.2.101on any port I get a connection but then it's reset, I no longer get the telent banner I was expecting.

I have a problem where my outside interface stops passing traffic and the only way to resolve the issue is to reload the ASA, the interface never is down it just stops passing traffic. The inside interface never stops allowing traffic to pass as I can get to all my internal servers and shared drives.

We have Cisco ASA 5505 box.We have a /29 subnet available.At this moment one of IP addresses in this rage is assigned to VLAN2 used for outside interface all outgoing traffic from VLAN10 (for employees) will go out using one IP, xxx.xxx.xxx.1all outgoing traffic from VLAN20 (for visitors) will go out using second IP, xxx.xxx.xxx.2all outgoing traffic from VLAN10 host yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (mail server, webmail, ...) will go out using third IP, xxx.xxx.xxx.3all specified incomming traffic to xxx.xxx.xxx.3 will be NATted to internal host yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy in VLAN10 .The main purpose is to have specific public IP address for mail server only not to get to any black list,and to give visitors different outgoing IP address than for our internal users.

Now I want a communication between the two Mailservers with their external Ip-Address.I did a static NAT from ipnt any to int any or also from int routed to int routed, but nothing worked.Packet tracer showed at NAT-Lookup where the externel adress of the second Mailserver is passed: Info Static translate Network1 to Network1
But it should show a translation from network1 to network1-external.Due to Security reasons, I cannot paste the whole config.Under 8.0 I did the same configuration with Policy-Nat and it worked.
I've been running a cisco asa 5505 for quite some time and it has been running fine, now all of a sudden it starts to renew it's outside dhcp adress like every 2 hours. I dont think it's the ISP since I have another device connected also using dhcp to the same ISP and it doesnt renew itself, it's just the ASA. Rebooting it, makes it pick up an adress straight away. The interface seems to be up, the GUI just reports "no ip adress" and then the ASA get's a new IP after about 10-15 min without one. Pressing the renew IP adress button in the GUI throws an error.

Is it possible when the primary connection cannot reach the gateway then backup automatically take over?
