How can i determine the current PPPoE session duration on ASA 5500 Systems? If i use the different CLI commands like "show vpdn session state / show vpdn session pppoe state" the output says:
State: SESSION_UP Last Chg: 593595 secs.
The ISP is forcing a reconnect every 86400 seconds, so the value can't be the actual duration of the pppoe session. Does it only indicate the link duration to the attached modem or interface state? Is the only way to detect interruptions of the pppoe session with debug and syslog?
IPSEC VPN users are using ACS for extended authentication, whenever authentication is made, entries are available on ACS, now i need the session duration info on ACS, that means total time during which the user was active should be available.
i have enabled accounting globally on the ASA firewall through aaa accounting enable console ACS and also enable accounting in the tunnel-group itself, to which the user is using.
on ACS 5.1 ,i could not find any option / TAB that can give some information on the session duration.
i'm having a problem establishing a pppoe session with a 1812 router. i've tried everything i could find online, even contacted the isp (all they said was that the modem should be in bridge mode, which it is).
i've checked in on one of our 5510's and also on a 5505 but i don't seem to find the license duration (i.e "perpetual).is this normal or just an IOS or platform specific? [code] Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(5)
Everytime I post this message it keeps leaving out the contents...think it might be an IE9 issue.Does anyone know if its possible to see the duration of the internet connection on a WAG320N?
Can any ASA 5500 in particular the ASA5510 firewall support jumbo frames (i.e. greater than the default standard 1500 Bytes frames)?. I plan to use the ASAs to setup a point-to-point IPSec tunnel and need an Application frame of 4Kbytes intact and not segment it.I have done little checking on the Cisco Website and see it mention of Jumbo frames on the 5580 on 10Gig interface but didn't see mention 5510. 5580s are way over-kill and expensive for what I need is to run a mission critical one IPSec point-to-point with maximum of no more than 100Kbps so 5510 is perfect for me but not sure if it can carry the jumbo frame?
On the routers and switches it's the MTU settings and they are configurable per interface and I am OK and the circuit is T1 which the Telcos said it's OK since it's physical layer so the only unkown is the firewall.
I purchased the license P/N: ASA-CSC20-250U-1Y with Description: ASA 5500 CSC-SSM-20 250-User License Only Renewal (1-year)
But I had a mistake because I need support to 500 users. Now, to solve my mistake I want to know Do I can purchase another ASA-CSC20-250U-1Y to provide the 500 users suppor?
I mean, ¿are two (2) ASA-CSC20-250U-1Y equivalent to the 500 user license listed below?P/N, ASA-CSC20-500U-1Y with Description: ASA 5500 CSC-SSM-20 500-User License Only Renewal (1-year)
I have inherited the support of an ASA5520 running 8.0(3)12 code and I believe I have a pretty simple question here that I haven't been able to figure out on my own. I have a few users that connect to the box via IPSEC VPN client connections. They want to be able to leave up a RDP based connection, for monitoring purposes, for a most of the day, but thier RDP connection keeps getting discounnted after a few hours. The VPN connection never gets disconnected, just the RDP session running through it. I have another box running 8.0(4) code and they can leave up the RDP sessions as long as they like without getting disconnected from the server(s). I have compared the configs of both boxes and don't see any glsring differences in regards to the configuration that would cuase the RDP sessions to either to stay up or be disconnected after an inactivity type scenario.
What to look for in regards to identifying the timer that is disconnecting the RDP session after a period of time.
Our users are using Xmanager to connect to a NNM connection which is going through a Cisco ASA5550 with 8.3. The session of Xmanager is getting terminated exactly after 1 hour and the users have to reconnect it again. How can we make the session to be up always, when I am bypassing the Firewall its always up.
My company has a DCS network that was previously segregated with a layer 3 switch and a handful of access lists. However, there came this big push to segregate all DCS networks with Firewalls, so I purchased a 5505 and duplicated my simple access lists on the firewall and everything worked. There is no NAT, just explicitly permitted traffic out and explicitly permitted traffic in. However, there are some applications that connect and work fine for a few hours, then disconnect and the user must exit out of the application and go back into it, then it starts working again. Previously with the Layer 3 Switch/access lists, this never happened. Since I put the firewall in place, it has happened 3 to 4 times a day every day for the last week.
We have configured our ASA5540 in active-standby failover.We are observing that current active session count is twice of session count before configuring HA. Earlier average active session was 50000 and now after HA it is around 100000. Failover configuration of both firewall are as follows
failover failover lan unit primary failover lan interface FOLan GigabitEthernet1/0 failover polltime unit 15 holdtime 45 failover replication http failover link StateLink GigabitEthernet1/1 failover interface ip FOLan 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.3.3.2
My company has a cisco ASA 5510 and we have a Citrix remote desktop solution. In a nutshell I have users from outside our network accessing a virtual Citrix NetScaler inside our DMZ. There is a session reliability feature enabled on the Citrix solution. Session reliability uses tcp port 443. A user from outside the network connects to our network and is handed a virtual desktop to work with. When a remote user is working on their virtual desktop and there is a network connection issue the end user loses network connectivity for a brief period of time (in most cases just seconds) then the Citrix session reliability feature takes over and holds in a buffer all data destined for the end user . Once the connection is re-established then the buffer is emptied and the session goes on like before and the end user is able to use the virtual desktop. At least this is the way it should work.
In our case the connection never re-establishes between the end user outside the network and the NetScaler in our DMZ. We have been working with Citrix Support and they believe the issue is in our firewall. We have taken packets captures with Wire shark and we can see when the network failure occurs the NetScaler in the DMZ is holding information in a buffer and trying to communicate with the remote end user outside our network via packets and TCP port 443. We can also do the same packet captures from the end user computer and see where it is not receiving any packets from the NetScaler in our DMZ. The fire wall has an access list allowing any traffic in the outside port destined to the NetScaler Public IP on port 443. Then once in the firewall outside port we have a static rule pointing to the NetScaler IP in the DMZ.Everything is working quite well until we need to rely upon the session reliability. We have tried altering the TCP & Global Timeouts options in the firewall via the ASDM with no luck.
I have an ASA 5520 for my firewall. (ver 8.0(4))I have an external hyperlink that works from dsl at home but not from behind my corperate firewall.When I filter my real-time log viewer for this destination address I see the build up and immediate teardown of the session.The log indicates the teardown was initiated from inside.The informational alerts are
Built outbound TCP connection 726440542 for outside:201.116.168.172/6666 to inside:172.16.x.x/3586 (65.204.x.x/52001) Teardown TCP connection 726440542 for outside:201.116.168.172/6666 to inside:172.16.x.x/3586 duration 0:00:00 bytes 77 TCP Reset-I
Reset-I means that something (the firewall or my pc which is the source) is telling the firewall to end the session.
Just doing some basic testing before we replace our ancient PIX 515E with a new 5512. I have a mini lab set up following the diagram below, although I am unable to telnet through to the mail server's netcat listener on port 25 TCP. I can ping all the way outbound from 192.168.101.1 to 10.0.0.2, and the 10.0.0.2 machine shows it is translated properly to 200.225.117.1.
NAT and access rules are as follows:
object network mail host 192.168.101.1 description Mail relay access-list inbound extended permit ip any host 200.225.117.1
[code]....
EDIT: Somehow the new global access rule is involved. When adding a permit any any in there I can get to the mail server no problem. When I remove it but leave in my permit ip any any on the outside interface, I am denied?
I have an ancient Alteon load balancer which only supports HTTP and telnet access. Our management people only allow HTTPS through the management firewall farm, and don't want to change this policy. So I need a low cost HTTPS to HTTP conversion, ideally on Cisco hardware like an ASA5505. It only needs one concurrent user. Is there a way to configure an ASA 5505 to terminate the inbound HTTPS seession and re-originate a HTTP management session to the Alteon? It looks to me as if the Clientless SSL VPN might do the job.Is there a way to do a SSH to telnet conversion on the ASA, or on a router?
I am trying to get a Cisco ASA5505 to get onto the internet using PPPOE through a Netgear DG384 ADSL router. I have the Netgear in Modem only mode - if you put it in Router mode internet access works fine. When I change it to Modem mode, the error I get on the ASA is PADI timeout. Looking through the config I think I am missing a Global NAT??Also not 100% on the best way to set the IP - we have a static IP from the ISP. Do you set the interface to use DHCP and get this address or set it statically? Then do you put the setroute option or put in a static? [code]
I am tyring to remotely diagnose a troublesome ASA5505
It is connecting via PPPOE and the original suscpicion was that the PPPOE was going down during heavy loads during the day, i.e 9am and lunchtime. I suspected MTU and have verified the MTU outside is set to 1492
However further troubleshooting doing a remote ping to the PPPOE address indicates that this does not drop at all.
When remoteley connected to the ASA my session dies and any outbound internet fails, then in a few minutes it comes back.
all the time the PPPOE line stays up?
One thought is that although the line does not go down it is being crippled with traffic and just getting so unresponsive it appears it has died.
We currently use a linux software based firewall called IPCop that sits between our network and router (This is in bridged mode) IPCop conects over PPPoE and everything works fine.
However the system is not reliable and I fear not that secure so have purchased an ASA5505 now I have added the PPPoE info to the device using the ADSM software however although it picks up my external static IP I'm unable to access the internet. On IPCop I only had to enter the broadband credentials and it worked however I feel like I may have to add more to the Cisco, for example do I have to specify DNS servers and do I have to set a static route?
Here is my config file so far (Note I think I have turned on the ability to ping from internal to external). My config I have done through the ADSM as opposed to the CLI
Today i received FWSM from cisco (RMA), I need to configure it as standby unit for existing FWSM active/standby setup.
IOS on RMAed FWSM is 2.3.4 and cisco VSS supports FWSM IOS 4.0.4 and later.My issue is, I cannot access FWSM (IOS 2.3.4) via session command from cisco 6513 but could successfully consoled it without any problem. I have reloaded it twice and also tried to disable and enable power on it.
VSS#sh module switch 2 Switch Number: 2 Role: Virtual Switch Standby Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No. --- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- 2 6 Firewall Module WS-SVC-FWM-1 -----------

why I cannot access FWSM through session command ?Whether this is because of older IOS ? If yes then how to upgrade its IOS ?Is it possible to upgrade IOS via FWSM console ? if yes, Do i need to test on different slot ?
i have user connected to office using Cisco vpn client , Cisco asa 5520 acts as vpn gateway, frequently the users got disconnected from the server while the VPN still established and not disconnected!
what is the cause of the issue , where the fault is located ? how to start the troubleshooting to figure out the issue?
configure my ASA 5505. It is setup using PPPoE. What I want to do is this:
I have one of my IP addresses (99.23.119.78) setup for ftp using the ftp protocol to our internal IP address 192.168.1.3. What I need is to also allow for HTTP access but not just that, I need it to forward the http port to port 9000 because the web interface requires port 9000 for customer access. Previously on our old firewall customers were able to access the web interface by browsing to [URL]. I would like to not have to not require the port in the URL.
In addition, I would like to be able to setup a different IP address in our range (99.23.119.73) to be setup for http access using the standard port 80 for the same internal IP address (192.168.1.3). This URL will allow us to access the administration web interface for the FTP server.
Here is my current config:

We have a Cisco ASA 5510 with: -version: asa845-k8.bin -ASDM: asdm-711-52.bin
Interface "Outside" is a PPPOE configuration.We currently have 36 site to site VPN connections up and running through the "Outside" interface. Now when we try to add, via ASDM, a new site to site VPN connection, we can not choose the "Outside" interface. The interface is just not available. All other interfaces are, bot those are inside interfaces.
I tried running ASDM on a different computer (thought that ASDM or java got corrupted perhaps), but the same problem appeared.Now when we "shutdown" the outside interface and "no shutdown" it again, the "Outside" interface is available again when you add a new site to site VPN profile.
Sidenote: if we check the current profile of a succesful running site to site VPN, it say's that it's using an inside interface. But that is, ofcourse, not possible.
Just recently we replaced our HQ Cisco-Pix with Cisco-ASA 5510. where we have many branches connecting to our HQ through site-to-site vpn.
Since putting this new ASA5510 at HQ , while we are getting a Remote-Desktop session into our branches clients, and at the time when even a single TIMEOUT occurs on the vpn-link so the remote-desktop session gets completly lost. then we have to re-connect the session.
This issue happens as i said above when a single timeout occurs on the vpn link. What is the issue with the ASA5510. because with pix we didnt have this issue, remote-desktops were never geting lost / reset with single timeout
I have two ASA 5510 with Security Plus license and Shared SSL VPN licensing enabled.
The problem is that the client get “Session could not be established: session limit of 25 reached” but ther is only 6 ssl vpn user connected with AnyConnect.The software on the firewall’s is 8.2(1)Is there any BUG in this software related to this problem?
I have 2 public ip, 1.1.1.1 anda 1.1.1.2. I'm connected to the ISP using PPPoE. I also have a router and a firewall. I want to assign 1.1.1.1 to router and 1.1.1.2 to the firewall. I do not want to NAT 2 times (one in router and one in firewall)That's why i want to bridge Fa0/0 and Fa0/1.Could this be done in Cisco router? I've done this command but it's not working as i want. I'm using bridge irb and bridge-group.
I've an ASA 5505 connecting to a vdsl modem. The ASA is doing the PPPoE encapsulation. I've noticed the traffic amount on the outside interface is always twice the bandwidth it receives on its inside interface. I can't believe the PPP encapsulation is taking that much. Only two interfaces (inside and outside)
I have an ASA 5500 Firewall. I need to figure out how to log all events using Port 25 to determine if there are any rogue devices on our network. I was trying to figure out how to do this via the Real-Time Monitoring (filter) but have had no success.
I have an issue with a Cisco ASA 5520. It seems to block some emails incoming from some recipients. The sender's mail server clearly reports my ASA as cause of the problem (see attached image). Unfortunately I have not the logs about that event and the time frame to close this issue is very narrow.
We have to set up voip for our network(for 50 phones not he cisco phones).
I need to just the route the voip traffic to gateway address of telephonic company(1.1.5.7) where they provide us the connectivity for the setination call.
What sort of protocols should i have to enable in pix i saw the concepts like sip, h323, ras, skinny.
We are using only voip for asa and no data or other traffic should be allowed.
inside adrees: 10.10.10.0/24 for all voip phones outside:121.21.22.1 telephoneic gateway: 1.1.5.7
