Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5510 - LAN Based Failover Not Working
Jun 23, 2011I 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.

Jul 26, 2012We 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.

Jul 19, 2011Is it possible to setup 2 x Cisco ASA 5520 that are in an Active/Standby failover using sla monitoring?
For example ASA1 outside interface connects to an upstream switch and you setup sla monitor with icmp echo to ping that switch. The switch goes down and you need the other ASA2 to become the Active ASA. Can the sla monitor be automatically integrated with the failover commands for this to happen?
Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5520 Failover Did Not Work?
Apr 17, 2011I am having ASA 5520 with active/standby configured. Around 2 days ago, the ASA stopped responding & all of my websites stopped working. when i checked the failover status it said that failover is off. I had to manually turn the failover to start my traffic flow.During this time my secondary ASA was not responding. After some time, the primary stopped responding & secondary became active......to solve this i had to make the secondary unit as failover unit primary & the primary unit as failover unit secondary. i did get a log on ASA :-
“(Primary) Disabling Failover” with error message no.105001 which states the below:-
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105001: (Primary) Disabling failover.
Explanation In version 7.x and later, this message may indicate the following: failover has been automatically disabled because of a mode mismatch (single or multiple), a license mismatch (encryption or context), or a hardware difference (one unit has an IPS SSM installed, and its peer has a CSC SSM installed).(Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary unit.
Cisco Firewall :: Cannot Run ASDM After Failover Asa 5520
Nov 24, 2011I have 2 ASA5520's in failover pair.After failing over I cannot run ADSM on the secondary (now active device), I get "unable to launch device manager from [primary address]"
I can ASDM to the primary device (now marked as "standby ready") on the failover address. I can SSH to it also.I CANNOT ASDM to the secondary device (now marked as "active") on the primary address. I CAN SSH to it.
When I run "sh asdm image" I get valid output (asdm image disk0:/asdm-645.bin) on both.However when I run "sh ver" on each it appears ASDM is not running on the secondary device :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx [only]
Compared with :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx
Device Manager Version 6.4(5)
It appears as though ASDM is only running on the primary device (regardless of the fact it is now in standby mode). Is this normal?
I am having to run in a failover condition due to a intermittent hardware fault on the primary unit but require access to the ASDM for monitoring/diag purposes during this condition.

Cisco Firewall :: Failover License Sync Between Two ASA 5520?
Jun 3, 2013According to the link here:[URL]Starting with Version 8.3(1), it no longer needs to install identical licenses. Typically, we only buy a license only for the primary unit; for Active/Standby failover, the secondary unit inherits the primary license when it becomes active.So I wanna know if there's some additional configuration to synchronize the licenses such as SSL VPN or Context between the primary one and the second one? Or they can just synchronize by default as soon as I finish the failover configuration and when the primary one gets down, the second one will take over the role including licenses automatically?

Cisco Firewall :: 5520 - ASA Phone Proxy After Failover?
Dec 3, 2012I have a problem with my asa phone proxy. i have two ASA 5520 in HA. I have 10 phone register with ASA active primary. if i execute the command show phone-proxy secure-session. i can see the phone session on the ASA.
if i perform the same command on the passive ASA i can't see the session replicated from the active member.
If i switch the cluster the phone enter in a registrating loop and can't connect to the ASA now active.
If i switch back immediately (the session are still present on the first asa) the phone register again and all works
the ASA have version 8.4(5)
the phone are a 7921g

Cisco Firewall :: Rebuild ASA 5520 Failover Unit
May 12, 2011What process I need to follow to rebuild my failover unit? I've had to turn it off because it seems that both the primary and secondary were thinking they should both be the active unit. I'm not sure why. But in turning off the failover, I had internet access again. So I think I want to rebuild the secondary unit's configuration. Do I need to turn off failover from the primary unit first? Disconnect the secondary unit, console into it and remove the configuration (command to remove from flash?)? Rebuild the interfaces..all interfaces or just STATE between the units? Just trying to get a list of the process

Cisco Firewall :: 5520 - ASA Active / Active Failover And IPS Failure
Mar 30, 2011I have 2 asa 5520 firewalls including and 1 AIP-SSM-10 module in each of them. the configuration is set using active/active failover and context mode.
Both of them run individualy the IPS module. The IPS is configured using inline mode and fail-open option. However when one of the module fails and the state is changing from up to init or anything else making the IPS to fail then failover is detected and ASA consider it as failover and bounce context to the other unit.
IPS soft is 6.0(4) and ASA soft is 8.0(3)
I have checked cisco doc and it is confusing to me. it says: "The AIP-SSM does not participate in stateful failover if stateful failover is configured on the ASA failover pair." but it really does participate. Running is not really an option because of production network impact matter..

May 28, 2012Currently we are having a 2 ISP for Internet. Need to achieve redundancy for IPSEC VPN using the domain.
Requirement :Will configure a domain and assign two public IP address from 2 service providers. Will set the priority for the public ip address and do the manual change during the ISP failure.We will provide the domain name to the clients to setup the IPSEC VPN.So incase of failure by one ISP, we will change the priority in the domain to point to the availble address.So that we can reduce the downtime and no need of configuring new IPSEC VPN tunnels.
Question :Whether we can achieve this in Cisco ASA 5520.Or do we have an alternate solution to overceome this solution.

Cisco WAN :: ASA 5520 - Source IP Based Load Sharing
Jul 25, 2011A customer has an ASA5520 and 2 ISP routers with one WAN link each, and wants to split the load over both routers based on source IP ("natted" IP on ASA). I found this excellent doc on the topic: {URL}. Using PBR to achieve this is an option I was looking at, but I have come across a possible loop doing this with 2 routers. Setup:
-----------CE-1---------ISP-1
| |
| |
ASA55020---- HSRP |
| |
| |
-----------CE-2---------ISP-2
Both Routers receive default routes via BGP, and customer networks are propagated via BGP as well (i.e. the customer can specify the return path for the traffic). The ASA5520 forwards traffic to a HSRP virtual IP for redundancy purposes. If one router or ISP fails, all the traffic should use the other router/ISP. The customer wants to specify which traffic is sent over which link, by defining nat rules on the ASA. e.g. traffic sourced from the network 10.10.1.0/24 will always use ISP 1, and traffic sourced from the network 10.10.2.0/24 will always use ISP 2.
My problem: if I use route-maps on both routers (CE-1 and CE-2), sending part of the traffic to the other, and one ISP link fails, in my opinion I have a loop, since part of the traffic will get sent back to the router it came from. Is there any other was to achieve my goal without using PBR? I have looked at CEF and GLBP, but I cannot seem to find a way to load share via source IP.
