Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Reverts To Old Image After Power Failure
Dec 15, 2012
Firmware asa805-k8 was installed and saved on an ASA5505. Upon power failure the ASA5505 reverts to an older firmware, asa724-k8. 1) Is it normal for ASA5505's to revert to older version upon power failure. 2) ASDM/web browser doesn't work using IE--username and password brings to empty screen. how to revert back to later image.

I bougth a used ASA 5505 on ebay which is experiencing this problem [url]... LEVELS or at least the described problem, if i touch the appliance while it is running it will somtimes go to this non working state as well
Our DIR-615 has started freezing and when reset (power cycled), it reverts to factory settings.This has been running 24/7 for several months with no problem. Three days in a row now I've woken up to find our home network is down and the DIR-615 status lights are "yellow". Power cycling the DIR615 resolves the problem however the DIR-615 looses its settings, reverting to factory defaults (looses the admin password, wireless settings, etc). I can reload the settings from a file saved on my computer but needless to say, this is a bit annoying. I don't believe there are any wireless clients connected at the time as most of the wireless is served by an airport two floors up. There are several wired devices always connected:
a Zoom ATA carrying our "land line" a tivo (doing whatever tivo boxes do) a SSL based Voip phone (different than the zoom ata) an AirPort Express 802.11n (bridge mode) which may have a couple of wireless clients a laptop which may or may not be sleeping at the time
There are a couple of ethernet switches in the network.Some of the devices acquire addresses via DHCP, others are assigned fixed addresses outside the range of the DHCP addresses served by the DIR-615.Nothing has changed on the network in months.
The only settings I've messed with on the DIR-615 are:
a) set the admin/user passwords
b) Set the wireless network name, enable WPA, set the WPA Key
c) enabled ntp (this is now disabled and I've set the time manually)
d) Change the network base from 192.168.0. to 192.168.4.
The DIR-615 is hardware rev E3, Firmware 5.10 The cable modem (from RCN) is a Scientific American model DPC2100R2
I have an ASA 5505 that I was updating from frimware 8.04 to 8.41. Anyway, I went through the update procedure half-asleep and accidentally deleted the boot image right after I installed it (I used the CLI and put in the command del asa8*.bin then just hit enter a bunch of times, which of course means I deleted the old firmware too).
So now whenever I power up the ASA, I get the "Could not find boot file" error. Is there a guide somewhere that tells me how can upload another boot image to the ASA and set the ASA to boot it from teh ROMMON prompt?
I have a Cisco 5505 that had its disk erased (erase:disk0) and now I am trying to load a new image (822 or 813) from a tftp server.
From the ROMMON prompt I have configured the relevant parameters and run a tftp command.
The tftp transfer seems to complete successfully but then it gets stuck on "...loading".
I have tried different versions of IOS and I always experience the same problem, even though, with older versions of IOS (7.x), the device manages to reboot itself but then it crashes with the following error:
"Error : Uncompression of the image failed. invalid compressed data--format violated"
Could it be an hardware related-issue or a licensing problem maybe? or am I missing anything obvious?
also, with regards to the license: once restored, how do I get my 50 users license back?
I've been trying to configure this Cisco ASA 5505 for days now. I used to be able to use the ASDM gui application, but i've since transitioned into using the CLI. Trying to go back to ASDM, it won't let me get back in, and when i try show asdm image, it says Device Manager image file not set. I have no CD for this device and I need that image file for the ASDM. How can I locate the file and install it on the router so I can use it?
I've had occasional issues with 5505 upgrades going south when the boot hangs on the image load due to a corrupt image. I need a way to validate the checksum of the new image after it is copied to flash. Remote upgrades become a real pain when you have to go onside just to delete an image, copy it into flash again, and boot.
I'm have upgraded our ASA5510's from 7.0.8 to 8.4.3 and now I just need to do the ASDM, but get this error? The bin file has been uploaded: [code] Device Manager image set, but not a valid image file disk0:/asdm-647.bin.
We have several SF-300-48P switches, eveytime there is a power failure the switches need to reboot 2 or 3 times before they are able to route packets again.
I've got the power cut while PC was running (w7). After rebooting I'm not able to connect to the internet anymore.
In Device Manager, under Network Adapters there is a "Realtek PCIe GBE..." device properly installed. But under Other Devices there are now more entries with exclamation mark:
I tried updating the drivers, then deleting and reinstalling but no success so far. Still can't connect to the internet. The browser can see the router, at 192.168.1.1 I don't know where the problem is.
We have cisco wlc 2125 with 13 AP 1131g. All works good. But after power failure one AP can not join to controller, only reset work to recover connection AP to WLC. Additionally, we don't have access to rs-232 port on AP. In this moment on WLC we can see DISCOVERY request from AP and response from WLC to AP, but AP don't send JOIN to controller.
I have a WS-C6509-E (R7000) and am trying to implement some proactive monitoring for environmental alerts. What is the output from a Power Supply failure for the following “sh log” “sh environment alarm”.
I'm having the following issue with a couple of 1231's.
Some overall config info first:
This is a small office with 2x Catalyst 2950 (24-port, no PoE) switches and 4 AP1231G (autonomous). The APs get PoE from a PWRINJ3 each. The injectors are powered by the AP power supplies. Injectors and power supplies are mounted in the patch closet.
The 2 switches are connected together over 4 ports (20-23 on each switch), these ports are set to 1Q Trunk mode.
The APs are connected to the switches, 2 to each switch, on port 1-2. These ports again are configured as 1Q Trunk.
All this has been working without problems for a number of years.
A few weeks back, AP2 did not restart after a power cut (everything else did). All LEDs are off, port on switch has no LEDs lit. I did not get around to investigating this furtehr until last week. I unmounted (failed) AP2, took it to the spot where (working) AP3 hangs, and plugged it to the cable of AP3. AP2 came to life immediately. I unplugged it and plugged AP3 back in, which restarted immediately.
So I suspect a power supply issue on AP2. I took the injector and power supply that fed AP2 out of the patch closet. When connecting AP2 directly to the power supply, it came to life immediately. So I figure the injector is defective.
On the same day, I notice AP4 is also dead (again all LEDs off, no idea how long, could have been that day or could have been a few days - it has definitely been working after the power cut that appeared to have killed AP2).
So I order 2 new PWRINJ3s and for good measure 2 new power supplies. Later that day, I took the injector and power supply that fed AP4 out of the patch closet. When I try this combination (AP4, injector4 and P/S4), and connect it to a different wall outlet (and therefore a different port -16 - on the switch) IT WORKS! Should have triggered questions, but did not immediately.
Last Thursday I got the new injectors and power supplies. So I take one of each, hook them upto AP2 at my desk, and AP2 starts up. So I mount new injector2 and new P/S2 in the patch closet, put AP2 back in its place, connect all the cables - NOTHING. AP2 does not start. The "power" LED on the injecvtor lights up green, the "device status" LED remains off. I take AP2, new injector2 and new P/S2 to my desk, hook them upto a wall outlet (connected to switch port 17). AP2 starts immediately.
Meanwhile AP3 has (also) stopped working (no LEDs on at all). As far as I can tell, it stopped working after I briefly disconnected (and reconnected) the patch cable between injector3 and the patch panel in the patch closet. The LEDs on switch port 1 are off.
I have since tried to power cycle both switches (took power off both, waited a while, poewerd both back on). No change.
PS: the APs ran firmware 12.3(8)-JA until recently. AP1, AP3 and AP4 were upgraded to 12.3(8)-JEE after the the power cut that took AP2 out. THis is when I found out AP2 was dead. AP2 was still on 12.3(8)-JA. It was upgraded to 12.3(8)-JEE last week when it was on direct power on my desk.
Thinking back, about a month ago I updated the firmware (I can't check version at the moment). The switch has been working fine since then. Today I needed to move some power cables and the switch lost power. Now ALL of the LED lights are flashing green and I can't access the switch. I've tried setting a static IP on my laptop to 192.168.1.20, mask 255.255.255.0, and accessing the switch on 192.168.1.254, but there's no response. I've tried holding in the reset button for at least 30 seconds while the switch is powered on, AND while powering it on. None of that has worked. Also when I first power it on, the system LED flashes orange very quickly for a second or so, then all of the LEDS start flashing green.
After a recent power outage while my PC was in sleep mode, I don't have wired (Ethernet) connectivity.
I have new Dimension E510XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3 ver had an issue with wired connectivity on this PC after coming out of sleep mode. Of course, the power failure was unusual.
Observations:
- ipconfig /all shows that I have an IP address
- I can ping the DHCP server listed in ipconfig /all and I also can ping google.com.
- I was going to go a restore point set before the power outage. But, somehow system restore had gotten turned off. Oh, well. I did go ahead and turn system restore back on.
Things I've already tried that did not solve the issue:
- Reboot
- Uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver. Device Manager says the network adapter card is working properly.
- Looked for an updated network adapter driver on Dell's website. Turns out that I have the latest driver already.
- Followed many of the steps from Microsoft at [URL]
- Checked McAfee Security Center firewall permissions list to see if something got changed. Everything looked okay. Also disabled the firewall just to be sure,
- Disabled SafeEyes internet filter.
- Reset the router. Also swapped router ports with a known good PC. The known good PC still had connectivity, the affected PC (the E510) did not.
I have a switch 3560v2 with an IOS 12.2(50) SE1.All the lights ON and console error message below:POST: inline power post failed for port 0 up to port 15.Then, the system hanged and all lights (indicator) ON.
1、the router power led's emitting light very weak ,
2、client pc cannot get ip from connected router
these error perhaps happened after a plug power jack action. Dc-dc chip is ME5513,the voltage on its pin4 is about 11.94V,and the voltage on following electrolytic capacitor is 3.3V,its seem normal.
I have a ~3 month old e1000 v2. In the last 24 hours it appears to have died, all 4 ethernet lights plus the power light and the one to it's left are on continuously. Before I dispose of it, does anyone know if this really is a hardware fail or is there some way to recover it? I've tried a few resets, power cycles and leaving it off for a few hours in the hopes that would bring it back to life but to no avail.
I upgraded my Cisco asa from 7.2 to 8.4 system image. Now the old style syntax isakmp policy is not working anymore and I am not able to write a isakmp policy to being used for remote access VPN.
on many examples on Cisco site I have seen that it is always used Cisco any connect client installed on ASA. this means that the old configuration compatible with Cisco vpn client IPSEC is no more usable ? or what kind of syntax I have to use to configure remote access VPN ? for example these commands are not working anymore.
I am running ASA 5505 release 8.2(4) using a clientless SSL vpn to connect my assessors to the server via RDP to a Terminal server. Everything was working fine until last week when we had a Internet outage. During the outage some of the assessors claimed to have accepted a Cisco add-on to get into the site. once the internet came backup they could not connect to the terminal servers - what would happen is they would click on the link - say OK to connect the clipboard and the screen would pause for a few seconds then right back to the select options page.
they can get to other servers (non-terminal servers) but not to the ones they need. I can recreate the issue by waiting a REALLY long time before replying to a prompt to install an cisco add-on. I have users that can connect and others than can not. Also this only seems to affect Internet Explorer 8 and 9 does not affect Firefox
I am having trouble accessing shares via client SSL VPN. I have an ASA 5505 running 8.4(4)1 The share is on on Ubuntu server 11.04 running Samba 3.5.8
This may not be strictly a Cisco issue and it seems to be an interoperbility issue between ASA and Samba. Or simply the smb.conf configuration.
I suspect the issue is down to the interpretation of Lanman on the ASA as I know the usernames and passwords work correctly when accesing the shares from other platforms (Windows Vista and Ubuntu desktop 12.04)
When monitoring the Samba logs I get the following errors: (amongst others)
ntlm_password_check: NT MD4 password check failed for user testuser Storing account testuser with RID 1000 check_ntlm_password: sam authentication for user [testuser] FAILED with error
What would cause my Dir-825 to magically revert to it's default settings? This is the 4th time this has happened.We rely on a Verizon Network Extender for phone service. It requires an internet connection to function. When the router brain-farts, we don't have phone service... and we don't know it until we try to call out, or try to use the internet. We went to bed last night with the router working and woke up to it not working. It's just my wife and I here. I haven't seen the dog showing any interest in jacking with our computer gear.
When I access the setup utility and go to Manual Wireless Network Setup, the Wireless Network Name has defaulted to dlink, and Security Mode is None. I have to re-enter my personalized setup info, (because that is what our computers are looking for), then all works fine again.I'm a savy XP user, my wife has Vista (yuk) (she doesn't know any better; her daughter installed it).We are Comcast customers. We own a Linksys CM-100 modem. (When I connect direct by hardwire, (i.e. bypass the Dir-825 router), from the modem to any computer, or the Verizon Network Extender, they function just fine. Setup utility for Dir-825 says we have Hardware Version B-1; Firmware Version 2.02NA.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP. I see other posts addressing similar issues of reversion to default settings... but there don't seem to be any clear resolutions of these issues. On 2010-03-11, gunrunnerjohn posted, "I think there may be a shadow file that's actually in the FLASH that needs to get written back to make the changes stick. I seem to recall there is a command to sync the RAMDISK copies to the FLASH." Yet there is no more to this thread.
I have a Cisco SG200-08p that's acting up. After setting up 2 larger 200 series switches I pulled this out for its config. I changed the default password and assigned the new static IP address of 192.168.0.103, that's it. The settings applied and worked normally but after rebooting the switch it reverted itself back to the default ip of 192.168.1.254, it retained the new password. After this happened a few times I upgraded the firmware to the latest version, reset the device to factory settings and applied the new address again to have the same problem. It doesn't matter if I reboot the switch in the management interface or physically. Is there a problem with having a zero in the third octet (that would be lame)?
when I try to connect a laptop to the wi fi it won't connect because the connection has changed from home network to public and sometimes unidentified network . I can get it connected by momentarily unplugging the router and rebooting it , then pressing connect button and it will revert to home network and things are ok . It is a netgear DGN1000 and I tried another router same make and model, same problem. I use an ethernet cable on my desktop no problems.there's 3 laptops come in to occasional use and it's happened to them all . My early attempt was microsoft's fix for sticking in public mode . It is windows 7 pro on the laptops , ultimate on desktop?
One of the ports on the 3750 stack was configured for VLAN121. It was changed to VLAN40 and the configuration saved. Both VLANs exist in the switch configuration. As soon as a host was connected (in this case, a label printer) the port VLAN reverted back to VLAN121.
