Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Connection Dropping
Jun 23, 2012
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 - 50 VPN edition. I have baffling network issues that I have not been able to pinpoint and I recently started to think it may have something to do with my ASA. I'm a network administrator and I have a Cisco ASA 5505 in my home network so I can learn how to manage Cisco ASA's and utilize the Easy VPN feature so I have a always on VPN connection into work to log into servers, etc. I've been using the ASA for almost 6 months with the EasyVPN feature with no issues. My ISP is Comcast.
Within the last week my connections have been randomly dropping for about 20 seconds and then reconnecting. I have two computers on the network that have a direct ethernet run to the switch ports on the back of the ASA. When the connection drops, I see my LAN icons completely lose connectively (yellow exclamation warning) then after 20 seconds, reconnect. This is very random. I was able to get it to happen every time I connected to XBOX live and play a online game. It would almost on cue drop after 30 minutes of online gamming. Here are the steps I have taken:
1. Replaced 10/100 switch to a brand new 10/100/1000 switch from computer run in my office to the ASA.
no joy
2. I upgraded the ASA to the most recent firmware: ASA Version 8.4, ASDM Version 6.4
no joy
3. I had an ethernet run under my carpet to the office, I started to think that maybe one of the cables had an issue after walking on it and vacumming causing a short. I removed all the ethernet under the carpet and installed power line over ethernet adapter from the ASA to my office.
no joy
4. I checked both computers on the network for viruses. All computers came back clean after scanning wth Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware.
5. I've watched the logs on the ASA as the LAN connection drops and I don't see error messages to troubleshoot this issue.
The only thing left to replace is the Comcast modem or the Cisco ASA. The Comcast modem is newer and only about 1 year old (rented from Comcast). Since my actual LAN connection drops and I lose connectively I believe there may be some issue with the ASA or the ASA switch ports or some sort of internal hardware issue on the ASA.

One of our hospitals keeps reporting that their internet is going out for a while than comes back up, sometimes they even have to reset the ISP modem for this it to work again. I upgraded and switched ISP to Time Warner Cable and figured it would essentially solve the issue, but there are still reports of internet outage and our new ISP has confirmed multiple times that their end is still up. Our ASA 5505 was configured by a previous employee, but when looking at the running config I noticed that the Interface for our ISP is NOT set to Duplex Full and Speed 100.

We have a Cisco ASA 5505 (v7.2(3)) with a "fairly" normal configuration yet we have a problem where it appears UDP/53 traffic is denied on our inside network.
here is output from our sys log:
SyslogID Source IP Dest IP Description
305006 172.18.22.3 portmap translation creation failed for udp src inside:172.18.22.156/42013 dst inside:172.18.22.3/53
To give some clarification:
172.18.22.3 is one of our DNS servers
172.18.22.156 is a device we're experimenting with.
We've bypassed the Cisco by using a 4G wireless router with this same device - and it works flawlessly.Here is a [scrubbed] copy of our config. It is what I inherited from the previous admin - I'm not sure of all its finer points (I'm not Cisco certified -- perhaps I'm just certifiable.)

Trying to add inside routes on an ASA 5505 to point traffic to another gateway for other connected networks is resulting in the following error 6Sep 16200 819:13:5810601510.184.236.1265003810.170.54.1823389Deny TCP (no connection) from 10.184.236.126/50038 to 10.170.54.182/3389 flags RST on interface insideI believe the problem is due to the Asymetric tcp connection and the ASA is dropping the connection because it only see one half of the traffic.Is there a way we can stop the firewall dropping the TCP connections on the inside interface? i've tried removing the threat managment which didnt work.Annoying thing is were putting the ASA 5505's in to replace old Watchguard soho firewalls only the watchguards forwarded the traffic no problem at all.

We've just deployed a site-to-site VPN using a 5505 ASA on the client's site and a checkpoint Nokia FW on our site. Everything seems to be fine except that the user's connections to their file shares seem to be intermittently dropping. One minute the connection to the shares is there, next thing it's lost. There is no logic to it because no two users are experiencing issues at the same time, as a matter of fact even on the same PC where a user has access to 3 shares on 3 different servers, one could be showing as connected whereas the other two be dropping. [code]
As you can see the Duplex and Speed are set to auto, I've rectified this since then and I'm keeping a close eye on the output errors, and collisions. However, I'm afraid that this did not rectify the issue and the users are still experiencing intermittent connection dropping to their file shares over the VPN!

I am testing out some inspection options on an ASA 5505, and I am running into a situation in which applying a http inspection is dropping all outbound http traffic. I get a "protocol violation" error in the logs.
Here is the setup: I'm not sure why the web traffic is getting dropped.

The firewall on my RVS4000 appears to hang when ever I use Netflix. If I disable the firewall and re-enable it it works for a while and then stops again. My IP address is in the Approved Client IP Addresses so it is excluded from the URL filtering and Web reputation rules.

I have an issue with my site to site VPN. I have 4 sites connected to my main HQ site via Cisco ASAs 5505 firewalls. The problem is that once and then the sites disconnected from my main site. This disconnection is not happening at the same time for the the 4 sites. For example, it might be different site each time disconnected.

We're getting "Connaction Timeout / Connection Failure" error messages several time per day. Here is our setup:
Verizon FiOS Internet (ONT Box) --> Cisco ASA 5505 --> EdgeMarc 4500 Router --> Cisco 300-24G Switch --> Dell PE1950 Servers
From past few months, we keep getting Connection Timeout and Connection Failure error messages in our vendor application which connects to SQL Server 2005. Also Terminal Server 2003 keep disconnecting for every few hours.After several days of troubleshooting, we come to know that this Cisco ASA 5500 is not working properly. When I access the ASDM, it shows several warning messages.I know there is a setting option to configure TimeOut, but is there anyway to test and track the ASA 5500 regarding this Timeout issues?

We recently got a 10 meg dedicated internet fiber connection installed. I connected it to a PIX 501 firewall and everything worked fine (I tested it for a couple of weeks). A couple of days ago I got a new ASA 5505 and replaced the PIX with this device. It works, but every so often there seems to be a timeout when surfing the web whereby I click on a link and there is up to a 45 second wait and then the page loads quickly. I was not getting this before on the PIX so I'm assuming it's not a latency issue with the connection. I am the only one using this connection on the network so it's not to say that it's being bogged down. I want to roll this out to the other users on the network but not when this is happening. The configuration is below:

I have a SIP trunk in my Florida office connected to a Cisco 2851 ISR. I'm using Unified Communications Manager 8.0 and life is great.
We just opened a new office in Spain and now the fun begins. We created a site-to-site VPN tunnel using ASA 5510 in Florida and ASA 5505 in Spain. We can register IP Commuicator phones in Spain but when they make calls it shows up as a Florida call. We need it to show up as a Spain call.
We are thinking to get a SIP trunk into the Spain office but I only have a ASA 5505 over there. Can I terminate a SIP connection to it? Is this the best option? If not, what is the recommened setup?

I am having a problem with a ASA 5505. The users on the inside cannot access internet for the most of the time. When i looked over the configuration and tried a few changes i got out to internet about 5 seconds every 30 minute or so. Very strange. When i try to access internet i just get the windows post that DNS is not working properly. As you can see in my config i get all addresses dynamic from ISP.
I am not sure what to do next, i tried to set static routes, make Nat changes, static dns addresses, searching this forum but nothing works. It seems like there is a ISP problem but i have talked to the support twice today and they say that all is fine from their side. Does ASA behave like this?

I'm trying to get an asa5505 set up so that our web server can send an LDAPS login to a client's server and receive the request back. The default IP our traffic goes out on is different than where I want the connection to come back in on. So, I set a NAT rule to send all traffic from a specific inside IP out a default outside IP. I also allowed LDAPS traffic from the client's server IP address in and have nat'd it back to the appropriate inside IP address. It seems to build the outbound connection fine, but then seems to drop it right away, which then seems to not allow the response back in. I've attached a picture of the log, with (what I think are) the lines in question highlighted. I'm far from a routing expert, but this seemed like a fairly easy setup.

I have a simple network with an ASA5505 mainly used for AnyConnect so there is little traffic. There is 1 laptop connected to the E0/1 of the ASA and then E0/0 is going to the internet port. I've noticed about ever 15-20 minutes, I lose all connection. The laptop can no longer browse the web and handsets can no longer VPN into the network. I've noticed a few seconds after performing a clear arp, all the connectinos are restored. The laptop can browse the web and handsets can VPN in again.

I have asa 5505 with security plus license, I configured dual ISP with two different ISP provider. I followed below cisco document to configure dual ISP [URL] The Configuration works during the testing, while removing the primary ISP cable from firewall. The problem i am facing is my primary ISP is down but the gateway is still up and it not switch over to backup ISP. For SLA which IP should i monitor so once my primary ISP is down it will fallback to Secondary.

I configured an ASA 5505 a couple of weeks ago. Every thing is working properly except it sends irritating messages to the syslog server. Her is an example of the message:
%ASA-2-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from 195.215.221.56/80 to 10.70.13.90/252 flags PSH ACK on interface outside

To sum it up the ASA is maxing out at 7MB down on a 25MB connection. The connection was tested with the ASA removed and the connection is fine.
This popped out at me the most but i'm not sure what it means:

I have an ASA-5510 in a location that loses connectivity to the wan gateway after anywhere from five to fifteen minutes. At first I thought that the unit might be defective, but I replaced it with an ASA-5505 with similar results. A reload of the ASA-5510 will restore connectivity for the next quarter hour.
Here's the version information on the 5510:
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(1)
Device Manager Version 6.2(1)

I just got a Cisco asa 5505 with the next OS and ASDM info ASA 5505 OS 8.4(3) ASDM 6.47 I configured and enter all rules to allow incoming traffic to LAN but it's not working also, I have one host inside that is configured in a second IP and create the rule to allow traffic to it but it doesn't work too.
Problem 1 I have VNC running in port 5900 tcp and I want to connect from Internet using port 6001 and this has to forware the connection to the real VNC port. In the configuration I have a few host with the same configuration but I use different outside port to get it.
Problem 2. I have a second IP with services: SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS and port 444 all TCP forwarding to a server in the LAN.
Facts: SMTP. Every time that I do telnet to the second IP looking for the SMTP port, the firewall doesn't let the incoming connection goes through and the LOGGING screen doesn't how that connection.PORT 6001 (outside)this port is configured to work with the IP in the outside internface and it was to send the incoming connection to a host inside to the real port 5900.Can any one check my configuration if I'm missing anything? for sure I'm but I didn't find it. Bellow is the configuration, I masked the Public IPs just left the last number in the IP, also I left the LAN network to see better the configuration.

I have a branch office set up were all traffic goes back to the core, iincluding internet acces.
It has been working fine for a year, but recently I have started to see the firewalls Asa 5505 closing the connection and stopping the phone from answering the calls.
I have skinny inspection turned on all my branch offices, but had to turn it off at the one site to get one of my phones to registered.
I haven't made any changes to the network that would trigger this issue, such as upgrading phone firmware.
My firewall is configured for default deny, other than Skinny (tcp 2000), do I need Skinny inspection to be turned on?
It's turned on my 5 other branches.How can I debug why the skinny inspection is closing the connection?As a separate note this phone is part of a pool of phones that shares a common DN, would this be causing the issue?

My little ASA 5505 is working great The device appears to be artificially crippled and limited to 10,000 connections. This isn't a "CPU limit" it's just some fake limit in the device as far as I can tell.
The problem we have is that we are only using around 500-600 connections and CPU usage is only like 25%, and yet the connection count is pegged at 10,000 and locks us out of our network.
I am pretty sure this is because there are a lot of "dead" TIME_WAIT connections hanging around not being used. In our application we only have the couple hundred connections but they do move around a bit every now and then.
Is there anyway to get the device to ignore the "dead" connections and not count them towards the artificial limit on the device given that it's pretty clear the CPU / etc., is not utilized sufficiently. These aren't real connections, we only have a couple 100 established, they do just move around a bit however.
We are really only using 500-700 connections according to our servers, the others are just sitting in TIME_WAIT doing nothing.

I have a ASA 5505 VPN Concentrator using ADSM 5.2 connecting to a BEFSX41 router. Its a pretty simple set up that has been working for years. However, over the past several weeks the VPN tunnel is consistently dropping every day or two, however both side are able to ping the internet at all times. My current work around is to manually log into the BEFSX41 router and re-connect the VPN tunnel, which simply connects immediately. The tunnel will stay up for about a day or two until it reliably drops the tunnel connection. Every time the tunnel drops I get an alert with an error message: [code] After doing searches about what this error means, all I can find is that its supposed to mean there is a problem with the encryption keys. I have checked the keys many times over and everything is the same. I find it odd that nothing has changed in almost 2 years.
I have 10 other VPN connections that are always up at never have any problems. I have the same make/model router connected to other offices with no problems. I have swapped the router twice, and each time I get the same symptoms.

Networking is not my gig, but it has to be at this very moment. We have an ASA 5505. Let me explain what's going on.
On Tuesday I wanted to be able to use the ASDM since there is less room for error. But we only had a console set up. So I ran the following commands...
in ($config)
http of course didn't do anything incomplete command
http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 didn't anything incomplete command
http 192.168.200.254 255.255.255.255 inside
[Code]....
Everything started working after that. Everything worked fine all of wednesday and thursday. Then this morning it stopped processing again. When I traceroute it gets to the machine that is hooked up to the console and stops. So I'm guessing its actually getting to the ASA router and being swallowed up again...

i recently purchased a D-link n300 DIR-632 (wireless router), i ran the setup wizard and it seems to work. HOWEVER. for some random reason the data transfer will cut out for around 30 seconds or so and all activity is halted. I have looked in the routers Settings however i am not comfortable with messing around with to many settings incase i completely screw up the network. Is there a setting that i have to change so that my network will run more fluently. It is a 300mbs data transfer and there is a maximum of 3 devices running from the network at any one time. I am trying to play online games and the network will lag and freeze the game causing it to crash and have to be restarted. ALSO i would like to note that this router is LAN enabled too. The main computer running on this network is connected by a LAN cable and is still having the same data issues as the wireless devices....
