Cisco Firewall :: 5505 High Availability Over Dual WAN Connections

Mar 20, 2011

One of my remote sites acquires Internet connectivity via a cable  modem service.  This goes down intermittently, of course.  I would like  to purchase DSL service from the local telco and configure the edge ASA  (currently a 5505) to use the cable modem path normally ... and fall  back to the DSL path if necessary.
 
These seems hard to  do.  The edge box would need to evaluate the viability of a WAN path  using some set of tests ... perhaps pings to a handful of major Internet  sites.  If all those pings start failing, it would stall for a minute,  to give the WAN service provider time to recover ... then cut over to  the second path.  Cutting to the second path might mean pushing new DNS  server addresses to clients (or perhaps the edge box would hand out both  sets of DNS servers all the time and rely on the clients to try them  all.)  Once the cable modem provider restored service, the edge box  would stall for a while (ten minutes?  an hour?) and then cut back.
 
I'm willing to replace the edge box with something  fancier (a bigger ASA or something sold as a router or whatever),  although I'd like to stay under 10K (list) for such a replacement.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5520 High Availability Licensing

Mar 20, 2011

A customer is currently running a 5520 ASA pair in active/standby HA mode. The devices also have an IPS module, one of them using a temporary (60-day) license.  So, right now, licensing is identical on both ASAs and HA is operational.
 
The question is what exactly will happen after 60 days, once the temporary license expires?  Does HA shutdown completely once it's determined that the licensing isn't a 100% match any longer, or does it just cripple one feature (such as the IPS module)?
 
The customer is balking at purchasing SMARTnet for the 2nd ASA, so I need to explain exactly what is going to happen (if anything) once the license on the 2nd ASA drops off...

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5520 Configuring Active Standby High Availability

Nov 1, 2011

I am new to Cisco firewalls. We are moving from a different vendor to Cisco ASA 5520s.I have two ASA 5520s running ASA 8.2(5). I am managing them with ASDM 6.4(5).I am trying to setup Active/Standby using the High Availability Wizard. I have interfaces on each device setup with just an IP address and subnet mask. Primary is 10.1.70.1/24 and secondary is 10.1.70.2/24. The interfaces are connected to a switch and these interfaces are the only nodes on this switch. When I run the Wizard on the primary, configure for Active/Standby, enter the peer IP of 10.1.70.2 and I get an error message saying that the peer test failed, followed by an error saying ASDM is temporarily unable to connect to the firewall.

Cisco Firewall :: 2911 - Control Link In Zone-Based Policy High Availability

Jun 26, 2012

I have set up a zone-based policy firewall with HA on two 2911 routers as per the Cisco security configuration guide, for an active/passive LAN-LAN cluster. All works as expected, but there is one problem I find: when the control link between the two devices fails, they go into an active/active state as each member assumes it's the last surviving member. The ARP entries for the Virtual IPs on the neighboring devices point to the device that last claimed the active role (usually the standby device). This works in a way, just sessions don't get synched anymore (control link is the same as data link). Now when the link comes back up, the preemtion works and the active, former standby device goes back to standby. But the ARP entries on the neighboring devices still point to the standby device and nothing goes (also sessions established during the active/active state are lost due to resync with the now active member).
 
This is a single point of failure and what I need is a way to mitigate that. Under:

redundancy
application redundancy
group 1
control <interface> protocol 1

only one control interface is allowed. Other manufacturers with similar functionality provide for the possibilty of a backup control link, for example the internal LAN interface or a dedicated backup link.
 
How would I go about that? Maybe use a port-channel for the control/data link (but I'm out of interfaces)?

Cisco Security :: High Availability Failure On NAC 3310 CAS?

Dec 20, 2011

Yesterday I discovered the primary and secondary CAS were both in active state and reporting their fellow peer as dead (I did this using ./fostate.sh), causing authentication errors on the network. I had to stop the perfigo process on the primary one to restore service.
 
After closer investigation I have discovered that when I put my laptop on the same subnet as their eth2 interfaces (eth0, eth1 and serial are not used for heartbeat only eth2), I can ping the eth2 ip address for the primary device, but can't ping that of the secondary device. See configs and outputs below. I am also wondering why the secondary CAS shows its eth0 and eth1 interfaces as fake0 and fake1.

[root@CAS-SEC ~]# ifconfig eth2
eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1F:29:5D:1C:6C 
inet addr:172.29.254.10  Bcast:172.29.254.11  Mask:255.255.255.252

Cisco Firewall :: 6509 / High Connections On FWSM?

Oct 19, 2011

I am having issues trying to track down what is causing a high number of connection on our FWSM in our core 6509 switch. I recently upgraded my FWSM to 3.1(20) and I'm looking for a tool to be able to find the culprit. When I receive these messages I try to get onto the firewall in time to be able to get information regarding this issue but by the time I do the device recovers. Is there a way to tweat the threshold of the SNMP trap for high connections? Is there any way I can retreive this information via SNMP? Is there are command that will allow me to extract the local IP making the most connections?

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5510 - Dual Internet Connections / Routing DMZ Traffic

May 29, 2012

I am having an issue when implementing an additional internet connection on our ASA 5510. The new connection is "TWCOutside".  I was my understanding that static NAT would force our externally hosted servers (Email, PPTP VPN, and FTP) to continue to utilize the "ATTOutside" connection.  Our remote site-to-site VPN traffic has two static routes configured to force it to continue to use the ATTOutside connection.When I switch the metric on the 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 98.103.148.145 route to 1, and change out default dynamic xlate to use "TWCOutside", it "mostly" works as expected.  Email, the PPTP VPN server, and our remote site-to-site VPN server continue to use the ATTOutside connection as designed.  Our end users begin using the new connection for thier internet browsing.
 
However, our FTP server, in the DMZ, completley loses outside access.  It cannot ping to 8.8.8.8, or resolve DNS queries.  The is a static NAT statement for this server, as it is using one of our dedicated public IP addresses.  I need it to continue to do so for the next few weeks.Effectivley, we just want to give our end users internet browsing on the new TWC link, but leave everything else on the old ATT link for the time being.  The only problem I am having is the DMZ connection.  I am currently "rolled back", so no one is using the new connection until I figure this out.  I can easily switch the metric and dynamic PAT back to using the TWC connection, but I need to have some things to try with the DMZ before doing so.

Cisco Firewall :: Dual ISP On ASA 5505?

Oct 9, 2012

My client is transitioning to a new ISP and want to migrate there web servers in stages.  therefore they would like to keep some servers running on the old ISP and some servers use the new ISP.
 
I have set this up in a lab and keep running into routning issues (I am using 5510 for the lab as I do not have a 5505 available). I know that ASA's don't support PBR.  Is there any way or trick to get this to work on the ASA?
 
I have a feeling this is not possible and we would need to get another ASA or a Router to get this to work.

Cisco Firewall :: Configure Dual ISP On 5505 8.4

Mar 27, 2013

I am attempting to set up failover dual ISP on a 5505 running 8.4(4) with the Sec Plus  license. Everything i have been able to reference so far, points to old commands not available or relevant in 8.4
 
For instance:
 
global (backup) 1 interface
global (outside) 1 interface
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 20.20.20.1 1
route backup 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 30.30.30.1 10
 
What is the new syntax that should be used to mimic these commands?  I have the sla and trach reachability configuration already set up.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 / Dual WAN For Different Services?

Sep 18, 2012

I have ASA 5505 ver, 8.4(1) I have configured 2 WAN links to

1. Outside1 - distance metric 50
2. Outside2 - distance metric 20
 
Currentry all traffic is passing thru Outside2 and it's correct, also s2s and ra VPN is also running on Outside2 ?My current case is to use Outside1 for webvpn services only. I can't use Outside2 becouse on 443 port other services are running, also I cant change webvpn port to other.
 
How can I match packets incoming to interface Internet1 from Interner side nad route them back thru Internet1 interface.
 
IPSLA is not a good solution becouse I need to have both WAN links used Now in routing table I have only onre record

S*   0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [20/0] via x.x.x.x, INTERNET2

for link with lower metric, but after some problems with provider for link Internet2 routing has changed for Internet1 and didn't change it back after resolving problem? how to create it for all traffic incoming for Internet1 interface from outside?

Cisco Firewall :: Dual ISPs On ASA 5505

Dec 5, 2011

We have a cisco ASA 5505 with sec bundle plus
 
We have two ISP's:
 
ISP1 (Our IP = 30.100.150.50, gateway 30.100.150.8)
ISP2 (Our IP = dynamic, gateway 20.100.150.9) - ADSL 
Our internal LAN IP range is 10.9.8.0/24
 
We want to configure the ASA 5505 to allow users via ISP2 for http traffic We then want to use ISP1 for strictly VPN and access to internal web resources (eg OWA) as we have public IP's there.
 
Our idea was to configure two gateways on the ASA (e.g. 10.9.8.5 via ISP2 and 10.9.8.6 via ISP1)
 
Then give the users gateway 10.9.8.5 for web browsing etc Is this configuration possible on the ASA 5505?

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Dual WAN Settings Required

Feb 27, 2012

I have a 5505 configured with a active/standby dual wan setup using the sla tracked connection settings. Is there a way to configure the ASA to stay on the backup connection after activating? We had a situation where the main T1 was bouncing, so the backup connection was being activated and deactivated very often. The problem is that there is an app being used that does not allow users to reconnect to dropped connections immediately, so every time the asa switches wan connections it causes a significant disruption.I should note that I already set monitor options frequency to 240 seconds. I could set it higher, but then we have a longer delay when the main connection dies.

Cisco WAN :: Require Dual WAN But Not Necessarily Firewall ASA 5505

My question:  Is there anothe device from Cisco or others which will give me the dual WAN and load balancing but not the VPN piece.  My assumption is that it would be a less expensive device if such an animal exists.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Blocks New Connections To IP

May 22, 2012

I am trying to get up to speed on this topic as quickly as possible. 
 
Here is my issue:                  
 
1)     We are able to access the webiste

2)     We are able to upload data packets

3)     We allow the website to time out while we are uploading data packets

4)     When we attempt to re-access the website the ip is blocked a)     this includes pinging and trace

5)     After an undertermined period of time the ip is unblocked and we are allowed to access it again.
 
The ASA 5505 router is the last forward facing stop before entering the VPN tunnel.  We have tested by circumventing the ASA and we are unable to duplicate the disconnect.  We have reviewed the config file and have not been able to identify what rule/settings could be affecting this.
  
when tracing port usage, the actions use 2 tcp ports and 1 udp port,  the 2 tcp ports open and close by each transaction, when the ip block occures the 2 tcp ports are "dead"  the udp port remains open (appearhently sending the remainder of the data packets)
