I am working with a client that currently has an ASA 5505 with two ISPs for failover using a tracked interface. I would like to configure logging so that the ASA will email us when the Primary ISP goes down and fails over to the backup. Here is what I have so far...
I'm having problems configuring an asa 8.2(1) with a backup isp. I followed the asdm instructions in this document: [URL]
I have my backup interface configured as DHCP and the static routes set. Pinging the gateway and other external IP address from the backup interfaces works normally. I have also tried configuring the backup interface as a static address but got the same results.
When removing the primary wan link, all traffic stops. When I ping a external DNS, I get these errors in the log: portmap translation creation failed for udp src inside: 192.168.13.23 dst backup:208.67.222.222_type 8, code0)
I though this type of error is related to a NAT problem, not sure where to look though.
I have setup ASA 5505 with 2 ISP, named outside (primary) and backup, the scenario is if outside down, then backup will take over, it works now. But it is not working when the primary connection cannot reach the gateway with the interface still up.
Is it possible when the primary connection cannot reach the gateway then backup automatically take over?
I have a production ASA 5505 that is working perfectly. I wanted to take a spare ASA 5505 and copy the running config to it so that I would have a backup unit that could be swapped out if the production unit went down.
Both units have security plus and running 8.2(1). The only difference is that the production ASA has 512MB of RAM while the backup ASA has 256MB. Also the backup has anyconnect and the production unit does not.
I copied the running-config to my tftp server and then copied the running config from my tftp server to the backup ASA as startup-config. After reload the device booted with an identical configuration to my production ASA, but after swapping out the units to test it, I have no access to the WAN or DMZ from my LAN. Swapping back to the production unit and all works as it should.
I printed out the running config from both devices and compared them line by line. They are identical except for the anyconnect line on the backup ASAs config file.
I'm working on setting up a backup link for our ASA 5505 and I've followed these directions: [URL]
The backup ISP gives us a dynamic address, however, when I enable the backup ISP's interface on the ASA, my vpn tunnels drop. As soon as I disable the backup interface, the tunnels come back up. I'm attempting to configure this across one of these tunnels, so obviously this is an issue, as is the fact that other people need the tunnels as well. I'm not sure what I did to make this happen, but I've been over the config many times and can't see anything different from the instructions in the link above.
I thought it might be trying to route traffic across the backup interface, but my primary interface is tracked and has SLA running on it, so I would assume it wouldn't roll over onto the backup interface.
I have 5505 license with default 10 user license, want to increment the remote vpn user to 50 user license;will it be on yearly basis.Another question, can we purchase security plus license for configuring the failover config ,as well support the 50 user license on the same..
I am trying to create a backup tunnel from an ASA 5505 to a pix 501 in the case of the Main ISP failing. The Pix external side will stay the same, but not quite sure how I can create a new crypto map and have it use the Backup ISP interface without bringing down the main tunnel.
My first thought was to add the following crypto map to the configuration below: [code]
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 as a BOVPN endpoint using certificates. The config is complete and I now need to back it up and restore to a cold standby Cisco ASA 5505 that will sit on the shelf until something goes wrong.
Problem is I cannot restore my certifcates to the standby.
I have tried the backup and restore wizard in ASDM and to be honest it didn't work.
I need to backup my ASA 5505 configuration and restore it to default, then I'll configure manually the new config, but if something doesn't work I want to restore the backup made before.
I tried the "copy run tftp" command, and it always answers the same: Result of the command: "copy run tftp" [code] I read everywhere its supossed to prompt asking me tftp server address and file name.
I have 2 ASA 5505 Firewall, I Configured Site 2 Site VPN no both the fitrewall, as i have a dual ISP, i am able to create the tunnel with primary but once my primary is down i am not able to create the tunnel with back up ISP. During the troobleshoothing by typing Show isakmp sa and Show ipsec sa, i can see my tunnel is up, but not able to decap the packets.
ASA5510 ios v8.4.I've setup dual ISPs and I'm trying to get ipsec VPN client access to work on the backup interface (outside-backup). The goal is to have outbound traffic on the inside subnet NAT'd through the main interface (outside) while inbound ipsec VPN clients connect and operate off of outside-backup.crypto map is applied to 'interface outside-backup,' however clients are unable to connect. If I switch the default route to go through outside-backup everything starts to work again.
I installed a new ASA 5512-X over the weekend for a client. Their backup ISP connection is DHCP based. I need to use the 'dhcp client route track' command on the interface, but it is not available. However according the all the documentation I am looking at and even the ASDM says it should be available.
This is the version of ASA and ASDM they are running:
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.6(1)1 Device Manager Version 6.6(1)
I did upgrade to the latest ASA software, so has this command been removed? If I do a '?' in the interface, there isn't a 'dchp' option.
I would like to setup backup ISP in our ASA5510. Right now the the firewall has for default gateway following command:
"route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 114.324.321.33 1" i am changing this to route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 114.324.321.33 10 track 1 ...so i can setup sla monitoring. As soon as i do the above command and remove the original "route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 114.324.321.33 1" from asa then internet connection drops. Right now asa interface Ethernet0/0 has main isp configured and configuring interface Ethernet0/3 as backup. interface Ethernet0/3 name if backup security-level 0 ip address 114.324.321.34 255.255.255.252 no shut global (backup) 1 interface.

Also our firewall has site to site vpn and 1 main ip configured for exchange and remote access.
I need to implement the backup between two sites I have router 2800 which is having a point to point connectivity with the far end.At the far end there is no router ,only one firewall is there on that firewall one access-list is there to allow the traffic .To implement the back up link i have created a site to site vpn .But the problem is as soon as the tunnel is establised .For the time being i have removed by site to site config from both firewall.
all this inside the router or the switch. From the Linux box just running a simple command such as:
tftp 172.16.0.3 -c get startup-config newbackup.conf
where 172.16.0.3 is the IP address of the switch and newbackup.conf is the name of the config file stored on the Linux machine.So, how do I do that with an ASA box? how to backup ASA from inside it.
On our cisco 3750 switches we can take config backups with the archive command. After every "write mem" it rights the config to our backup server. We would like to do this also for our asa 5520 with version 8.2(2). I also searched in the command reference guide, but I can't seem to find the proper command to do it.
I like to take log backup in ASA.. and i like to check whether any attack pattern is there?? how could i do this...?Also how could i do a best practise for this?
I have a ASA 5510. I setup basic configuration to test internet with 2 ISPs. My first line works with out any problem. But my second line doesn't work. Even when i wipe the configuration, and setup only my second isp. Internet doesn't work. Can you tell me if there is anything wrong with this config?
CaaaA01# sh run : Saved : ASA Version 8.3(1) ! hostname CaaaA01 domain-name example.com
I have a client that has an ASA 5520 that has two internet connections, FIOS and Comcast. The ASA is configured to failover from the FIOS to the Comcast if the FIOS fails. This works perfectly fine. However, I was wondering if VPN and other inbound traffic will come into the secondary connection when it is active. I think VPN will work inbound when the FIOS connection fails, but I am not sure about the other inbound connections.
Looking to have an ASA5510 with two internet feeds. Moreover, I would like to have my static nat translations continue to work on the backup feed. I have outbound nat working, however I cannot get the inbound nat to work. I had this all figured out in 7.x but now with 8.x I cannot seem to get it working. If anyone has a 8.x example config.
I have bought an RV180 Firewall/VPN and try to use the Backup Software Crashplan. As per the supplier it needs Port 443 and 4242 open. Port 443 is fine and allows me to use the service to backup to the Cloud. However when I want to allow other users to backup to my computer this traffic is blocked. I tried to open port 4242 on the firewall and forward the traffic to the computer that hosts the service but it does not work. I have tried to Telnet this port from the WAN but I don't get a response. When I check the Open Ports this port is not listed as a LISTEN port either.
We have backup data center where I am now planning to provide backup internet service ( in the case where there is internet down or power outage at main server room) . I have a pair of Cisco ASA's 5540, one of which I need to move to backup data center ( BDC), Presently I have ADSL router at disaster serve room with static public IP from ISP.
Currently, I am publishing all my internal resources through ASA. Now my questions, if I move Standby ASA to Disaster Server Room. How I can publish the same internal resources through standby ASA and make it standby as active during the down time of main server room
I have a asa 5520 with an outside and backup interface. I am trying to configure two static nat statements from the inside to the outside and backup interface. Here is what I have configured so far.
I am trying to use the built in feature of Cisco ASA 5510 smart call home feature with the purpose of automatic backup creation by email. I found the configuration [URL]. I already configured the said instructions but when I send a test email it says it cannot contact the email server. Below is the error that I am getting from our ASA. I am new to firewall.
OGI-MNL-ASA-FW0# call-home test profile ASA_Config_Backup INFO: Sending test message to fcaccam@example.com... ERROR: Connecting to SMTP server xxx.xx.xxx.xx failed: CONNECT_FAILED(33) ERROR: Failed: CONNECT_FAILED(33)
We were having a discussion of ios firewall vs. asa for smaller clients(less than 50). On using ios firewall(zbf or cbac)and an asa 5505/5510. One of the arguments brought up on using ios firewall on the router is that a router will do an ip sla failover. I have configured a number of isr's for this and i know it works good.
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 in our office. We are currently using Interface 0 for outside and 1 for inside. We only have 1 Vlan in our environment. We have two three switches behind the firewall. Today the uplink to Interface 1, to the firewall, on the switch went bad. I want to setup a second inside interface on the firewall and configure it as failover incase this happens again. I want to attach it to the other switch. Can I do this? If so, what do I need to do? would it only be a passive/standby interface?
setting up an ASA 5505 to be used as a firewall between a BT internet router(BTNet service) and a Cisco 3560 Lan switch. BT have presented me with a cisco 3800 series router with the following details:
Network Address Network Mask BTnet NTE Router LAN Address
There are 2 Gigethernet ports on the back of the router port Ge0/0 is connected to the BT NTE and the status light is flashing green. Int ge0/1 is connected into port int e0/1 of the ASA but i am unable to get any connection.
I'd like to see some REAL LIFE comparisons of ASA firewall throughput (a bit like this one for ISR G2 Routers - [URL].
The reason I ask is that I recently upgraded a firewall from an ASA5505 to an ASA5520 on a small network where the only outside connectivity was a single 10meg Internet circuit with an IPSEC VPN (not landed on the firewall but on a router) to another site.
When I swapped out the firewall the users noticed a big improvement. The firewall is not doing anything out of the ordinary - no IPS or VPN, just standard state full inspection.
