I have ASA 5510 connected as shown in attached diagram.Ideally when ASA 1 is active and if I boot Switch-1, ASA-2 shood take over. But that is not happening.When I boot SW1 , ASA-2 shows "Failover LAN Interface: failover Ethernet0/0 (Failed - No Switchover)" and remains standby.Fail over works properly If ASA-1 boots.

View 11 Replies View RelatedConfigured ASA 5510 ISP failover and working fine.My ASA as configured as DHCP server also. So its serves IP addressing details including mask,default-gateway, DNS server IPs.Here my issue is whenever my ISP failover occurs my ASA sends previous ISP DNS server IPs to my inside clients.
Here i like to configure my ASA to serve IP addresses dynamically.Or is there any global DNS IP addresses which will work for all ISPs?
What i want to do is simple. Being able for any member of Administrators group to authenticate on our ASA5510 based on the AD credentials.
What is correct CISCO procedure for that?
Can I run Cisco ASA failover with dual ISP run active/standby configuration and SLA monitor to monitor the primary ISP gateway and failover to the secondary gateway but not failover to the failover firewall unless an actual event occurred that required a ASA failover?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two ASA 5510's that I want to setup in a Active/Standby configuration. My only question is on how to connect the inside ports to my LAN. I have 5 Catalyst 3750's stacked together that connect to the ASA's. Should I run the inside interface on ASA1 to a port on switch 1. Then run the inside interface on ASA2 to a port on switch2? And make sure both those ports are in the same VLAN? But, then when failover occured, how to I automatically make it clear the arp cache so the traffic starts flowing out of the right port?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a customer with two ASA 5510s. All four ports are used by the following interfaces: inside, outside, dmz, and failover. This customer is looking at getting redundant internet connections, but we don't have any ports to the redundant connection. What I'd like to know is it possible to configure sub interfaces on one of the currently occupied ports (I'm thinking inside) and use one for inside and one for failover. This way I could have the other port free for the redundant internet connection.

We are going to buy a new Firewall ASA5510 to use failover possibilities.I just need to be sure it will be possible to implement as I have the following output after a "show ver" command: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.3(1) [code]
As you can see the failover line is set as "Disabled perpetual".We are actually using base license as i have not been able to find any contact for CISCO to get official support or new license.
I have a customer who has purchased a Cisco 5510 and after we received it and all the necessary VPN, 3DES etc. licensing for it, then informed us that they order 2 T1 lines so they can have Internet failover.
My question is: Does this require an additional specialized license from Cisco in order to enable and configure it? And if so, what that part number is?
How to design a network setup and achieve failover in the below scenario.
(Vendor router)
L3-Switch ---- ASA FW1 ---switch-- Router 1 ------ MPLS cloud1 ----- Router A ------------ L3 switch
(Vendor router)
L3-Switch ---- ASA FW2 ---switch-- Router 2------ MPLS cloud2 ----- Router B------------ L3 switch
I am planning to achieve the failover either of the following ways -
1) Configuring both ASA FW as active/standby method .
2) configuring ASA FW 1 tracking command pointing to the ISP end ip address so the traffic would be moved to secondary firewall by putting a AD as 1 on ASA FW ......pointing to the ISP ip address and other floating route ( with a higher AD value) to the secondary firewall interface.
3) To configure HSRP between the Routers.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi read that you need only one L-ASA5510-SEC-PL for setting up a Active/Standby Failover. I installed the license on the 1st ASA and tried to setup the failover via the ASDM wizard. It always fails, because the 2nd device can't have a 'base' license.So does this mean, i really need another license?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two ASA 5510, The one which I just got shows the CPU speed to be 1599MHz While the previous device (which is also 5510) reads the CPU as 1600 MHz.According to Cisco, for Failover redundant configuration, both devices must have same hardware configuration. Technically, this slight difference should not be an issue but I need to confirm that thess devices will work fine with failover configuration.

I applied it, but since we'd only purchased one license, it broke failover. 8.4 lets you share tracking licenses, and since we were planning on the upgrade to 8.4.x anyway, I figured no big deal, I'll get that straightened out when I do the upgrade.

we're looking to use an ASA5505 or 5510 as our firewall but want to see if one of them can prioritize traffic. I know it does QoS but we're wanting to dedicate x amount of our bandwidth to traffic based on destination IP address. Is that possible and does it take a license upgrade?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have one public IP address but multiple local servers that run on the same port. I cannot change the port the clients use to connect to this server, so I can't do a port map in my NAT router. The solution I had in mind, is to filter on source address. If a client from public IP X.X.X.X connects to port Z, I want it to go to internal server 10.10.10.10 and if a client from public IP Y.Y.Y.Y connects to port Z, I want it to go to internal server 10.20.20.20. Is this possible? I'm using an ASA5510 but I could also switch to a 5505 for this.

I have a single production 5510 with 2 contexts. Now I want to integrate the secondary failover unit. My question is: How much configuration needs to be done on the secondary firewall? How much of the configuration will be sync'd from the primary to the secondary when the secondary is connected?
For example, do I need to add the following on the secondary or will it be sync'd from the primary?

I used to have this situation where I need to replace faulty ASA5510 (this FW did not failover to standby FW) with the new one.
But the problem is the new ASA5510 came with Base License only not with Security Plus License which is needed to allow this brand new device to be configure failover.
how do I pull out Security Plus License from old FW and switch it to new FW (Base License) and activate to Security Plus License.
I just added a new 5510 failover unit to an existing 5510 and when connecting my new outside interface on an Active/Standby firewall pair, i get errors messages (red x) on each port scan (monitor & syslog) although the error message indicate all ports are good...additionally the firewalls flip between active and standby non stop. I remove the new standby unit outside interface from a shared switch and everything clears up.

We have 2 ASA 5510's setup in an active, standby failover configuration. When the primary fails over to standby, the 3rd party cert does not failover to the standby ASA. The users then receive the CERT missing, invalid message and have to select yes, no to move on. This does not occur when the primary is not in failover mode. It is my understanding that failover fails over certs but in our case it does not apper to be working correctly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on setting up 2 ASA 5510's with redundancy/failover. I'm not an expert when it comes to the ASA's so I'm not 100% sure if I can do what I need to.I have 2 inside networks that need to remain separate, a DMZ network,and an outside network. Since each network connects via ethernet to one of the 4 ethernet ports on the ASA 5510's, all 4 ethernet ports on the ASA 5510 will be in use. If I wanted to setup one firewall as Active and the other as standby, how would I go about doing that? Do I need a direct ethernet connection between the 2 firewalls to use something such as HSRP? Or would the Standby firewall be able to tell if the Active firewall is OK since they would both be connected on each of their interfaces to the same networks?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a working active/passive pair of ASA5510's, and then I had to do a rush firmware upgrade, but didn't have time to do it on the secondary at the same time. Now I have made config changes and upgraded the secondary firmware to be the same, and wish to know if I plug it back in if it will think the secondary has the "correct" config or if it will know that the primary is newer. I disconnected the failover cable because it was complaining about version mismatches constantly.
Is it safe to add the secondary back in or is it possible it will be declared newer and overwrite the config?
Currently, my customer has 2 units of Cisco PIX 515E running on Active/Standby mode. As for the heartbeat link, there are 2 dedicated switches placed in between both the Cisco PIX 515E i.e. FW1 --> SW1 --> SW2 --> FW2.
My customer will be changing both the Cisco PIX 515E to Cisco ASA 5510. Now, they are asking me, since they will be using Cisco ASA 5510 eventually, can the heartbeat link be a direct UTP cross cable or must the 2 switches in between still exist?
I remember I have tested this before, few years back, in the event I were to pull out the UTP cross cable that's connecting both the Cisco ASA 5510 Firewalls directly (without any switches in between), the Active/Standby mode still works fine. It doesn't go bad whereby both the Cisco ASA 5510 suddenly becomes Active/Active, and causes network issue.
Are switches required for the heartbeat link in a Cisco ASA environment or can a direct UTP cross cable connection be adequate.
