Is it possible to use 1 or 2 of the 4 gigabit ethernet ports from one ACE straight into the other ACE for redundancy? So ACE_01 gig0/4 to ACE_02 gig0/4.If so, is it a case of just having the layer 3 config instead of trunking etc..Also - is it possible to create a context within the same vlan as the Admin context?

We are having issues with our Cisco ACE 4710, it suddenly stopped to telnet admin context.We are able to telnet another context from the same appliance, but unable to telnet the admin context. Is possible to pings the gateways from the other contexts, but we are not able to ping the gateway from the admin context.Actual we have 5 context with the minimum allocation is 10%.ACL and policy map allowing telnet and etc are enable and configured on the interface.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an HA ACE deployment and all seemed to be working well until I tried to access the ACE via the management VLAN in the one non-system context, no go.The ACE is in one-armed mode with an Admin/System context and one user context (named Messaging). Source NAT has been set up in the user context. All VLANs are in a port channel back to the core switches.I can access the ACE via the Management VLAN in the system context, all OK. I can access the load-balanced servers via the VIP in the user/Messaging context, all OK. I CANNOT acccess the managment VLAN other than ping it (resonds to ping, but telnet, ssh, https, etc. fails).The system/Admin context has a default route to the Management VLAN on the core. The User/Messaging context has a default route to the core switches on VLAN 5, which is the VLAN where the VIP resides.If I change the default route in the User/Messaging context to the Management interface on the core switches then I can access both contexts for management, but then the load-balancing falls over and I cannot access the serverfarm (via the VIP). Traces on the rservers show that NAT is being hit on the ACE and the requests are coming from the real IP of the clients. Put the default route back to the User/Messaging VLAN on the core and NAT is back to what it would be expected to be, and then remote/management access to the ACE is gone.

Can an ACE 4710 have , in the same context - servers which are
a. just being routed to
b. a set of load-shared servers
I have been told you may not be able to do this on this version?
I am looking at management (backup of the configuration) of the ACE 4710 running A4.1, the management software is Cisco Cirrus. The question I have is around the management of the context's, I have a backup of the Admin but would like the user context's also, how this is completed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two ACE working on active-standby mode, I have one context configured on bridge mode, with two vlans, the client (vlan 100) and server (vlan 101) sides.I need to balance another service for two servers (different from the ones on the first context ) on the vlan 101, so as the documentation says i can't configure the same vlan on another context because it is already configured on the 1st context as bridge.so my question is the only way i could balance this service is to configure it on the same context??. or there is another way?.These are the design limitations that i have to do this:
1.- I can't change the servers IP address.
2.- The VIP which will answer the clients request is on the same IP network segment as the servers, for example: server1: 192.168.100.125, server2: 192. 168. 100.126, VIP: 192.168.100.124
On my production environment I have a firewall with already two contexts defined (15% of CPU used) and I want to add a new one.
This context is going to use the same interfaces as the others contexts. When I will enable the context, can I have some sort of repercussion on these two context ?
I have two ASA 5510 in an Active/Active failover configuration; On the first ASA I have a license for five security contexts, on the second one I have the default two. On the pair I configured seven security contexts and everything works as expected; so far so good. Let's suppose now that the first ASA (the one with the license for 5 contexts) goes up in smoke; all the contexts migrate to the surviving firewall and life is still good. But what happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot the second ASA before the first one is repaired? My guess is that it will come up with just its own license for two contexts and that I will not be able to operate all my virtual firewalls.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just joined a networks team and will be working on two fwsm versions 4.0(8) in two 6500 routers. Now the fwsms seem to be virtualised with multiple contexts. The server team want a new context setup for a group of servers behind a vlan. [code]
This context just seems to have two Vlans and a BVI interface. What is the function of this context and why we have 2 admin contexts?
Also another important question is on which 6500 do I create the new context? Is the admin context active on one 6500 just like other contexts and will sync across or do I have to create the new context on both 6500s.
I face an issue while creating source nat on cisco ACE. There is already a default source nat ip for the context. I created a new one for smtp traffic alone. Iam facing issues in prefixing the newly created nat-pool rule(nat-pool 100) above the default one (nat-pool 2257) on the external gateway interface as its not placing that on top ,due to which only the default snat ip is getting shown on all servers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI Just deployed some of these new modules and running A4.x code. How to configure an ACE with the maximum context?
We run in tranparrent mode with 110 Contexts, we found that with a base config for each context(80 lines of code) this would only leave us with 7% of available RAM. The Device begins to shut down services @ 5%. like SSH and others.
So, Is this even possible to configure 250 contexts and still manage the device.
I need to upgrade 2 active-standby cisco ACE4710, the issue is I cannot access FTP/TFTP/SFTP server via Admin context but can be accessible via other contexts.
Can I copy the ACE system software file from FTP/SFTP/TFTP server to image: directory durectly or need some other way around ? I could see the option is available to copy ftp: to image: via other context.
is there a way to reset/clear a particular context's configuration?
I see there is a 'wri erase' within a context, but no reload/reset - neither from the context itself nor from the Admin... puzzling...
I dont want to reload an entire blade just to clear one of the context's configs.
I am desiging a topology with two Cat 6509 and Two ACE Module, one ACE per Catalyst. I am thinking to use bridge mode for the customer contexts, I would like to know if the Bridged mode is an Assymetric topology.
The server gateway is the ip address of the ACE or the Router?
On ASA 5515 it shows it is in transparent mode and it has multi context.As in transparent ASA we know it has single Management IP address.This ASA is connected to one switch on two ports gi2 and gi3.One port carries vlan say 800 to the ASA.Other port carries vlan 500 from the ASA to switch But when i log onto ASA and do sh run it shows no VLan info there.

I don't have an ASA to lab this up on, and having read through the literature I have available to me I'm not sure how this would work but here's where I am at the moment. Situation: One ASA, two contexts, no shared interfaces, no 'hairpinning' to another common device like a router or layer 3 switch.Requirement: The ASA will separate two security zones. Each zone must be independent of the other (no shared interfaces).Expectation: Traffic to be enter the sole interface in context A, then be internally directed to context B before being dispatched out.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat are the new features added or going to be available on the 8.5 release on the ASA. Would this release "finally" support VPN on multi security context mode.
By the sounds of things looks like every other major vendor supports this feature except Cisco.
I know most QoS capabilities aren't available in multiple context mode, but I need to do some really simple policing on one of my contexts. I just want to apply a hard 20Mbps cap on an interface. I've seen a few places that suggest that basic policing is possible in multiple context mode, but apparently not by the normal commands.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently working with ASA 5585 with several contexts. What is the percentage of the CPU used per context. I already have the opportunity to do it for the whole ASA (context admin) using the SNMP mib CISCO-PROCES but, unfortunalty, this mib doesn't allow us to know the percentage of used CPU per context.
I was able to know the number of core used per context but not the percentage of the CPU used.
We have a pair of cisco Asa 5520 currently running multiple context mode. We wish to change to single context mode for following reasonWe will migrate infrastructure to hosted vendor .

Is context change required for running site to site2. Is it a good idea for creating site to site on to make sure wireless network and oracle traffic goes through managed firewall ?
View 22 Replies View RelatedI've got an ASA which has a number of contexts. They all share the same external interface, and in the interest of saving addresses I'm wondering if the standby address for each context is really necessary. I know that in active/passive the standby address is what allows the two to communicate and monitor that particular interface, however, in active/active I don't see the point as the context is either going to be on one or the other.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have ASA configured in multi context mode, with software 8.4(2) configured for AAA Configuration is admin context as follows:
aaa-server TAC protocol tacacs+
aaa-server TAC (management) host 10.162.2.201
key *****
aaa authentication enable console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication http console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication serial console TAC LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console TAC LOCAL
Because of multiple context, after logging in we enter System context. Console port authentication is working fine except access to privileged mode while connecting over console port. After issuing "enable" command ASA accepts only configured enable secret in system context and changes user ID to enable_15, so we are unable to do user-level command authorization and accounting.It seems that ASA in system context is not aware of any AAA configuration, and there isn't any command to configure AAA in system context.Is there any way to configure enable authentication over AAA in system context?
I am looking to deploy a cloud/borderless network solution and cannot get my head around how the licenses (AnyConnect Mobile and essentials) will be applied in a multiple context deployment. Any correct documentation.

I need your support for upgrading the Security context license on 5550, at present we have 5 Security context license installed in ASA but we want it to increased till 10 conctexts. I want to understand if we need to get addtional 5 Security context license or 10.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with a context, I have two CISCO ASA 5550 (failover) and also we have the CISCO CSM to monitoring it, but since some weeks is showing a memory usage of 100% but then it drops until reach zero and then again the graphic goes up. This is the second time that the graphic shows this
I also check this on the CLI and i'ts fine because is showing the real percent, so my question here is why is showing this kind of behavior, I mean it was working fine before.
In the other hand I checked the secondary device and this is showing a 99% of used memory, but as the other one this graphic doesn't drop
I also checked via CLI and it says that it had the 99% memory used , Is there a way that i can put more memory on the context or what do you suggest that I can check on my firewalls.
I am trying to configure multi context on the 5520 ASA , how can i configure 1 outside and 1 inside for the 2 context or how to configure both outside from the same subnet and insides also from the same subnet , i did the below configuration but didn't work . [code]
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a active-active setup with 2 cisco asa 5585x running 8.4 - the boxes ahve each 2 sec context's build-in - which gives 4 sec context in the cluster. I have 2 x 5 extra licenses (2 x ASA5500-SC-5) which I haven't applied yet - will this give me a total of 10 or 14 security contextes? I am a bit in doubt because if I only get 10 sec contextes in this cluster then could I instead get a single 10 security context license (1 x ASA5500-SC-10) and add this - hereby I would get 12 then.
