Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5520 Subinterfaces Design Scenario
Mar 31, 2011
I currently have an ASA 5520 in production without using subinterfaces. I have connected an interface on the ASA to a 4507, the 4507 contains SVIwhich perform the routing for our internal network. I have another ASA 5520 and I am playing around with a few new design scenarios. The problem I am currently having is with SubInterfaces on the inside of the network. I understand the subinterfaces on the outside network, I am using subinterfaces on the outside for dual homing ISPs.
I don't understand the multiple subinterfaces on the inside, for some reason I can't wrap my mind around using them. I have created a few and trunked a port from my 3560X to the ASA interface. Here is my design.
ASA 5520 Config(I realize that this isn't how it would look in CLI, I just don't remember all of the commands)
interface Gi 0/1
nameif Physical Interface
no ip address
interface Gi 0/1.10
nameif Prod_USERS
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
security-level 100
interface Gi 0/1.20
nameif Users
ip address 10.10.16.1 255.255.255.0
security-level 100
Alright so in this scenario I would have a trunk port from my 3560X connected to interface Gi 0/1 on the ASA. On the 3560X I would created the two VLANs (vlan 10 and vlan 20); I also created an SVI on the 3560X as follows.
3560X config
interface VLAN 10
description PROD_USERS
ip address 172.16.10.2 255.255.255.0
no shut
interface VLAN 20
description USER-NET
ip address 10.10.16.2 255.255.255.0
no shut
Now I create a default route on the 3560X as follows, "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.10.1". By doing this, I can only route my 172.16.10.0 network out to the internet, not the 10.10.16.0 network? I have to remove the default route above and add ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.16.0 for clients on that network to browse out to the web.
So I am obviously missing something crucial here and I just can't wrap my head around this design scenerio for some reason. the topology necessary for this configuration to function correctly and how I can get both of my VLANs to function properly. I would like for the 3560X to route traffic internally until traffic needs to browse into the DMZ or out to the web, and at such time it should then use the firewall.

I have an ASA 5520 running 8.0(3) with two Subinterfaces configured like this:
=================================
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
nameif inside
security-level 100
no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.72
description VLAN 72
[code]....
(notice that they have the same security-level)I need to control the traffic between them with ACLs so I in ASDM unchecked "enable traffic between two or more interfaces with same security level" and "enable traffic between two or more hosts connected to the same interface"Now I cannot ping from one Vlan to the other, as expected,,, but I tried many different ACLs and I cannot ping or telnet to the other side from either one.

We have an ASA-5540 (8.4(1)) The inside interface faces a few multicast receivers. The outside interface faces the multicast source.All of the ASA multicast documents I've download describe very simple network designs, such as a single segment on the ASA inside.Our PC hosts that will be multicast receivers are a couple router hops away from the ASA inside interface. I'm not sure what the best way is to configure multicast on the ASA.Should I configure the ASA with PIM routing and a static RP address (plus the ACL to allow the multicast source traffic in) since the receiver hosts are a couple hops away? I think I understand the IGMP joins are for a local PIM router, so configuring as a Stub Multicast router wouldn't work? The two Cisco routers between the host and the inside ASA interface already have PIM, a static RP address, and IP PIM Spare-Mode configured.

i need to design a site-to-site VPN and VPN for remote users. I have attach a drawing, need to know if this is good setup. Mostly my concern is security. Im using ASA5520 for edge firewall and Linux firewalls are for additional security.I have to create 5 site-to-site VPN using IPSEC and 5 remote VPN clients. Site-to-site VPN are for trusted Office and remote VPN clients are only for our staff use.
From the diagram ASA5520 is configured as followed
outside interface is set to security 0 and connected to boder router to internet, inside interface is set to security 100 which is connected to a linux firewall which then goes to our internal lan.DMZ interface is set to security 50 which is connected to DMZ segment ,I decided to use the 4th interface for all VPNs which is set to security 100, and for this 4th interface i have created two sub interfaces vlan 400 (for site-tosite VPN) and vlan 500 (for remote access VPN). I did this because i have to use two separate linux firewall box. Linux firewall box for Site to Site VPN is configured with NAT but Linux firewall box for remote access VPN users are configured without NAT. I also want to know do i need to create a CA server or can i use pre-shared key with XAuth for remote access VPN users?

how to use Subinterfaces on an Etherchannel for a Lan Failover link?I successfully bundled e0/0-1 and e0/2-3 to 2 Port-Channels with a 3750X Stack - and was able to set my "nameifs" and "security level" on Port-Channel Subinterfaces like "Port-channel1.4" As a lan based failover link the subinterfaces seem to be unusable ....

We have two multilayer switches and only one ASA 5520. I'd like to connect ASA in the way described on the picture: each redundant interface includes two physical ones, which are connected to different switches
My question is what kind of link it is necessary to have between switches to make this idea work? I'd have subinterfaces like Re1.100, Re2.200 and so on for my traffic.
I understand that correct design approach is to have two redundant firewalls with failover but we cannot purchase the second one yet.

ASA design. I have two Cisco ASA 5585 which are connecting to two Nexus 7K. I looked at one design and it seems I can make Redundant interfaces on ASA and put two physical interfaces (Link1-1/1-2) into it however the down side I can see is it will utilize one link out of 4 at one time. As per my understanding if I make redundant interface on ASA 1 and put 1-1/1-2 into it only one link would be active at one time. This will force Nexus2 to send all traffic to Nexus 1 in order to reach ASA. Ideally I want a solution where both switches could send traffic straight to Active Firewall and incase of failure both links to standby firewall.

use of a pair of ASA 5585's in active/active mode with a shared outside interface.Last time I did this was with FWSM, there was a restriction where all contexts that share an outside interface have to be in the same failover group.Does this apply also to the ASA? My thought is that it will, but I am unable to find that in any documentation.

I am carving up an internet Class C for customer. This class C is used by 3 distinct QA, Corporate and Production firewalls. I want to carve up IP space so there is a /26 for each environment. The issue I have is the firewalls may need communication with each other via the public IP space. Currently I don’t have any L3 switches in between the firewalls and the edge internet router. So with subnetting, it would seem I need to push everything through the internet router for the intra-firewall communication.I would rather not push this traffic through the edge router, so I came up with an idea to allocate all firewall outside interface IP’s in the 4th (last remaining) /26. That way, I can allow firewalls to communicate over the primary interface IP’s, which will all be in the same subnet – without going through a routing “engine”/device.
For the actual environment subnets (NAT's on respective firewalls), I create a static route on the edge router pointing to each of the firewall’s primary IP’s for the respective environment routes (the first 3 - /26’s).This is still a beta design, but I have done this before on small scale when ISP gave me 2 subnets for example, assuming I was going to put a router in between the customer firewall and ISP. I would use the “routed subnet” on the ASA interface, and then pull the NAT’s from the other subnet. The ISP would have to add a static route directing the NAT subnet to the “routed subnet” correct IP - which would be the firewall outside interface primary IP.I recently found out that with ASA OS 8.4.3 and up, ASA will not proxy arp for IP’s not in its local interface subnet. This means the ISP/router will have to assign static ARP entries on the edge router. This can get messy after the first few NAT entries. So I am debating the design now. I think this kind of stuff going forward won’t be worthwhile with newer ASA 8.4.3 code.
How to communicate between different ASA’s, while still carving up the Class C into usable smaller subnets? The primary reason for doing this in the first place is to support routing on the edge router. I am thinking it might be time to ask for another Class C to do the routing functions, and keep the firewalls all at Layer 2 in one /24 - Class C?

understanding clear about new Cisco ASA 5515-x, 5525-x.I know that this device supports IPS which is included to this appliance without any additional modules.But can this box support IPS and content-filering (Cisco ASA CX or so..) in the same time.
The problem also in next. Can two ASA 5510 with diffrent modules (in one AIP-SSM and in other CSC-SSM) be in active/active failover design?

I am proposing Remote access VPN solution to my client as per the attached diagram. However they are required IPS solution as well.
So in this case i dont think i can implement the IPS with outside interface in inline mode because of the encrypted traffic. Is it feasible if i enable IPS with inside interfce ?

I'm fairly new at trying to create isolated network segments on Cisco switches. What I'm trying to do is have multiple isolated paths that originate from my v Sphere infrastructure travel through a layer 2 link, v LAN, up to a MLS, and ultimately out to to the internet through a firewall. Each sub net might ultimately have a number of hosts on it, but I don't think the make up of those hosts will matter here.
My initial thought was creating v LAN tagged port groups on v Switches on my v Sphere infrastructure. Physical connections will go from my ESXi hosts to the 2900 series Cisco switch connected to trunk ports. Both v LANs would be configured on the switch but not assigned to physical ports. The physical connection to the 3750 would also be a trunk port connection from the 2960. The 3750 would have SVI's created that are attached to VRFs that would control route traffic. This might be totally wrong but from what i've read it seems to be going down the correct path I think.
Two part question, is this the best way to go about designing this network? If so I seem to be really struggling with the SVI/VRF part. Every time I create an SVI all of my hosts on the 10.10.10.x network can ping them, regardless of which v LAN they're on.
I just cannot seem to isolate the 172 network.

My topologie is to connect IBM Mainframes into a Single Gateway Scenario. All the configurations in the machines are correct, and during a feel period of elapsed time we had the mainframe XCA/line/PU Station (Side DLSW) and the PU from CCU 3745 line (Single Gateway Side) both into ACTIVE state. The problem occured when we tried to INACT and ACT the mainframe VTAM lines; The lines, after this restart operation stayed in PCTD1 all the time. Searching the problem into DLSW's Border Router definitions, we observe that there are two Routers Serial Interfaces defineds with the same SDLC VMAC address (4000.3745.0000). Executing the DEBUG DLSW command was verified that there are the following messages:
00:39:07: CSM: delete group cache for 4000:3745:1, group 0
00:39:07: CSM: delete group cache for 4000:3745:1, group 0
00:39:07: DLSw: START-FSM (2147483685): event:DLC-CloseStn.Cnf state:CLOSE_PEND
00:39:07: DLSw: 2147483685 to dead queue
My question is, the ocurrence of these two delete group cache for the same Mac Address 4000.3745.1, group 0, means the mistake into maintain defined two Serials Interfaces with the same SDLC VMAC Address ?
The messages dispalynd the CONNECTED state never appears and iI think mus be something like that sample:
%DLSWC-3-RECVSSP: SSP OP = 8( CONQ ) from peer 10.17.2.198(2065)
DLSw: START-FSM (488636): event:WAN-CONQ state:CKT_ESTABLISHED
DLSw: core: dlsw_action_i()
DISP Sent : CLSI Msg : CONNECT.Req dlen: 16

I'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?

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a single interface on the ASA for both the failover interface and for stateful failover? Here's my situation.I'm looking to provision a pair of ASAs and I want to do stateful failover.The problem is that I need four interfaces (inside, outside, and two physical DMZ interfaces).I'm looking at either the 5520s or 5540s and these boxes need to run the IDS SSMs, so I can't use the 4-port expansion SSM.
I want to do stateful failover so I need two failover interfaces.What I'm wondering is if I can take one physical interface,run two subinterfaces on it, and then use those two subinterfaces for my failover and stateful failover interfaces.That would leave me with the four interfaces that I need for everything else

I have two C4506 switches and I would like to create two L3 links between them by using only one physical link. I will then assign each L3 link to a different VRF.
I think I have two choices but I'm not sure however that the second one is possible...
---------------
1st choice: creating two VLANs and two SVIs on each switch
interface Vlan10
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
ip vrf forwarding vrf1
interface Vlan20

I've been having a problem with my cisco routers (7600s) where sub-interfaces that we create for ldp tunnels are added automatically to the main ospf process as no passive when created. In order, here is how to reproduce the issue:
- Configure ospf process as "passive-interface default"
- Configure interfaces that have to be active as "no passive-interface blah"
- ospf works as expected.
- Create new sub- interface somewhere with encapsulation on a certain vlan for xconnect.
- New sub-interface gets added as "no passive-interface" in main ospf process.
- When adding a new port-channel interface, behavior is the same.
Is that normal for cisco, should I continue removing sub-interfaces manually every time from the ospf process?

I have set up a couple of vlans on a cisco 1721 router 4esw card using the vlan database and assigning an ip address of 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x for each vlan interface.Strangely enough connected computers can talk to the other vlan and I have not set any subinterfaces on the etherner0 (layer 3) and not even connected a cable.Is there any reason why this should happen since they should not talk to eachother being on seperate vlans.Doing a tracert shows that first the vlan ip address is hit and then straight to the target pc in the other vlan?

We're in the process of swapping in a new pair of ASA5520s and Catalyst 3750s to support two separate business units. We want Firewall A and Switch A to handle traffic for Org A (VLAN 100). Similarly, firewall B and Switch B should handle traffic for Org B (VLAN200). But we want to be able to fail traffic over in case of firewall or switch failure. Traffic between the two Orgs is being routed at the switch level. [code]
The uplink interface on each switch is currently a routed port with a static address on the uplink subnet. This works fine in a normal state. However, when we fail over one of the firewall contexts to the other chassis, this results in the inability to route internal traffic because the internal interface is now physically connected to a different switch with a different IP port address (obvious in hindsight). The question is, rather than a routed port, what would be the proper way to handle traffic between the switches and firewalls in a failover scenario? If I make the uplink ports into trunks, won't this cause all packets destined for either firewall to hit both both? Seems like that's not the way to go either? [code]

I have the following devices :
-1 VM Host
-2 Layer 3 switches
I would like to provide full redundancy for all vlans being used by VM Guests on the VM Host as well as the management vlan being used by the VM Host.I have created two LACP etherchannel connections on the VM Host. Each etherchannel from the host consists of 4 ports spanning a single NIC. One etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 1, and the other etherchannel connection goes to a trunked etherchannel connection on switch 2.Switch 1 and switch 2 have an etherchannel connection between them that carries all of the vlans in the topology.Vlan 2 is the managment vlan. Vlans 3, 4, and 5 are vlans that VM guest systems will be using for normal data traffic.
I intend to use switch 1 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 2 and 3.I intend to use switch 2 as the VRRP active router and spanning-tree root bridge for vlans 4 and 5.The spanning-tree configuration is using multiple spanning-tree with two instances. Instance 1 has vlans 2 and 3 associated and Instance 2 has vlans 4 and 5 associated. I would like to have this topology be fault tolerant to the point where if one of the etherchannel links between the host and one of the switches goes down, (for example, if switch 1 was powered off) traffic will be automatically redirected through the other functional link. I believe that my VRRP configuration would allow for a fairly quick failover of layer 3 services, but I am not certain that my design will be functional at a layer 2 level.
What I am uncertain about is how spanning-tree will converge. I am assuming that the virtual switch on the VM host will not be forwarding any BPDUs being sent by either switch. Would either of the links connecting to the host be considered a redundant link by either switch?Would the link between switch 2 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 1 during normal operation?Conversely, would the link between switch 1 and the host be inactive for all vlans in MST instance 2 during normal operation? Would all links remain active for ALL vlans? Would this mean that some traffic may travel through switch 2 to reach switch 1 instead of going directly to switch 1?

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.

We are using the newest release of AD Agent (1.0.0.32.1, built 598). The ASA Firewalls 5520 are having the software release 8.4(3)8 installed.When somebody tries to connect thru the Identity based firewalls from a citrix published desktop environment (PDI) the connection is not possible. Checking the ip-of-user mapping on the firewalls (show user-identity ip-of-user USERNAME) mostly doesn't show the mapping of the USERNAME and the PDI the user is logged in. The user-of-ip mapping of the PDIs IP-address shows mostly other users, which then are used to authenticate the acces thru the firewalls.
What is interesting, that on the AD Agent using "adacfg.exe cache list | find /i "USERNAME"" i can't see the PDIs IP-address neither because it is mapped to another user.Is Citrix Published Desktop environment supported to connect thru Identity based Firewalls? How AD Agent, Domain Controllers and Firewalls are working together? On the firewalls with "show user-identity ad-agent we see, the following:
-Authentication Port: udp/1645
-Accounting Port: udp/1646
-ASA Listening Port: udp/3799
Why Cisco does use 1645 and 1646 and not 1812 and 1813?The Listening Port is used for what purpose? we tried the AD Agent modes full- download and on-demand with the same effect.

I try to launch a LAND Attack against my firewall ASA 5520. Everything will work fine. But why, I think it should not work. I use a little tool where I can user a spoofed address, with a cluster shell and attack the firewall interface with the source of 127.0.0.1 ore the ip address of the interface as the source and destination. Then I get a cpu load of 89% with only two host. With IP tables I can use kernel processes to prevent this. But I don´t find anything for ASA.
