Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5540 And Concurrent Sessions - Bypass TCP Connection For One IP
Nov 15, 2012
in Cisco ASA 5540 Adaptive Security Appliance Platform Capabilities and Capacities, I see Concurrent Sessions: 400,000. Which mean what device can handle 400,000 session and no more. But if I'm using TCP State Bypass Feature (Inbound traffic pass via ASA but Outbound goes via different device). I can see such connections via show conn command with b flag.
My questions: 1. Will this limit (Concurrent Session) affect in this case? Or ASA can handle more such connections (for example 800,000 ...) in bypass state? 2. It's possible to tune timeout for such connection without using global timeout conn? My problem what I want to do by pass tcp connection for one IP with has very high connection/sec rate.

I´m detecting on my ACE 20.
I´m monitoring the total number of concurrent sessions of my ACE 20 (using Cacti), and from time to time, with no discernable pattern, I see an instant drop of sessions to half...I don´t detect any disturbance with our traffic and service, I have no complaints, but it's a very accentuated drop.
I´m able to get 1 or 2 days withouth any suddent drop of connections, and then for no reason I pass from 500.000 to 200.000 sessions in a minute. Then they gradually go up again.
I´ve seen in ACE´s session table that she keeps a great number of half-open, or closed sessions, and those are counted as part of concurrent sessions. Is there any flush on ACE´s table when she reaches a certain number of closed TCP sessions or something like that?

How many concurrent SIP channels should I expect to be able to make through a PIX firewall? We currently have a PIX 515 with the SIP fixup enabled.it worked fine for a low volume of traffic, but once we got to around 400-500 concurrent SIP calls the PIX started to struggle. Calls were dropping and other Internet traffic was intermittent. When I decreased the call volume it recovered and everything returned to normal.Bandwidth wise, we were only using about 20MB, so I think that as it needs to inspect and remember SIP packets for the purposes of opening RTP ports, we probably hit a bottleneck in terms of either the PIX's CPU or memory capacity. I've not seen any specs detailing how many SIP fixups a PIX (of any capacity) is able to handle.I'm thinking of upgrading to a PIX 525 or PIX 535, but I'd like to know how many SIP calls they will be able to handle before committing.

We have a PIX 501 and I'm in the process of replacing it with a ASA5505. We're currently using the 501 for a site-to-site vpn for disaster recovery purposes and I'm trying to verify the number of concurrent connections we can have.

Our current cable ISP is having issues providing us with consistant connectivity. I would like to bring in a second ISP to allow my users to choose where they will connect to. There will be two dns names and i just want to to be able to choose between them.
Is this possible on the ASA5505? supporting two ISPs at one time for VPN on both?

I want to connect via windows rdp to computer outside the company office and I cannot do that since we have webwasher or proxy installed in the office.I can access this machine with IE (it is a server with open port 80) and I see its website. This is becuase the IE at office has proxy configured correctly.I cannot access the same machine with RDP connection, though. I can access it using other computer outsite the office, so it is not an issue that rdp is not enabled or so. Problem is with proxy at office.I need a way to connect to rdp by using the same proxy.Problem is that that IE at office uses automated proxy script (.pac).I have installed remote utilities server on the machine I want to access and the remote utilities viewer on the computer at office. I set the proxy similary to what is set in IE but I cannot connect anyway. I can connect this way from third computer outside the office though, so the configuration is fine, only proxy is the problem.I managed to get the proxy details like host name and port but I'm not sure those are the right one.The webwasher or proxy is mcafee web gateway 6.8.4.

I am trying to implement IPSec Authenticated Firewall Bypass on windows vista clients within my microsoft domain to avoid implementing numerous windows firewall port exceptions for each client.
This is working internally on our network, between services servers (i.e AV server), and desktop clients. However i am having a problem when the clients are remotly accessing the domain via the VPN client.I have open traffic ports (IKE-UDP500, ESP - IP Prot 50, AH - IP Prot 51) bidirectionally between the remote vpn clients subnet and the services servers, however when the endpoints initiate traffic to the services server, the IKE traffic is unencrypted?

when opening SSH service to a Database Administrator within my LAN, that has a RV016 as the default gateway. So confidence, I just set up a port forwarding in Setup > Forwarding and everything works fine, cool.
However, I do not want this to be a public access, I need a specific firewall rule for a specific external IP address (only the DBA fixed IP Internet might connect to my database server through SSH).
O noticed that when a port forwarding is created within RV016, it bypass the firewall default rules and wide-opens the service (port) to the web. Conceptually, this is correct, as port forwarding is a network translation, but I expected that my firewall had work over this.
My current solution was to create a "Deny from all" rule at port 22 and then create one additional rule that allows traffic from an specific IP at port 22.

In our organization ,recently we are facing a issue with VPN connections are disconnecting abruptly in reandom time periods ( 5Min,15Min,1Hr also).We have verified in our SysLog .[code] The same was worked well in Cisco Pix 515E Firewall ,After changed to Cisco ASA 5520,it is giving the issue.- All Ports are allowed for outbound traffic with a Source Network 172.16.40.0/24 to their Client VPN.- This issue is giving for other Subnet Users i.e 172.16.33.0/24 to their Cleint VPN sessions & I allowed all Ports for them for Outbound traffic. Any feature in ASA is casuing for terminating the sessions which was not in Cisco PIX 515E.- ASA version is 8.0.

This is an issue I'm currently exploring with TAC, but I'd like a quick reality check. We have a pair of ASA 5510s in Active/Standby stateful failover mode. In some tests failing over from the active to the standby system breaks SSH connections from hosts on our Inside to hosts on our DMZs.
A specific example is our backup server on Inside which is connecting to our mail server in the DMZ2, and running ssh/rsync/scp for the backups. A running backup job fails with network timeout errors when I trigger the failover. Also, sometimes the mail server loses or hangs on its connection to our LDAP server in DMZ1, although sometimes this connection is fine (DMZ2 is more "inside" than DMZ1, and I assume the LDAP look ups are many short connections, vs the rsync backup being one long connection).
TAC has suggested that open SSH sesions will always fail when the ASAs failover. I believe this is true for management connections to the ASA, but I don't see why it should be the case for an SSH session through the ASA to a server in the DMZ. TAC has suggested that I open some connections to servers in the DMZ and test what happens, and I can do so this Wednesday morning during a maintenance window.But, in general, is this true? That is, given an SSH session from a workstation to a server, should a failover break it? If so, why?
The setup is:
MyWorkStation-INSIDE -> CoreSwitch (vlan 10) -> [ ASA-INSIDE - - (ASA-internal-connection) - - ASA-DMZ ] -> CoreSwitch (vlan 3) -> TargetServer
That is, all our inside VLANs are routed by our core L2/3 switch to a VLAN that connects to the Primary and Secondary ASA's INSIDE ports. There are also seperate VLANS on the core for the ASA's DMZ1 and DMZ2 connections, which go to both ASAs and to any servers in these zones.
The description of the ASA Stateful failover [URL]says: "The state information passed to the standby unit includes these:
· The NAT translation table
· The TCP connection states
· The UDP connection states
· The ARP table
· The Layer 2 bridge table (when it runs in the transparent firewall mode)
· The HTTP connection states (if HTTP replication is enabled)
· The ISAKMP and IPSec SA table
· The GTP PDP connection database
[code]....
I'm not quite sure what the ISAKMP and IPSec SA tables do, but shouldn't an SSH connection through the ASA be just a TCP connection? "For us, SSH from Inside to hosts in the DMZ survives failover," or, "Yah, failover breaks all SSH sessions."

I have an ASA 5520 running version 8.2(1) and I am having an issue with ASDM sessions.I can SSH into the ASA and have tried to clear the sessions but they do not clear as per below.
largoGW# sh asdm session0 dguselnx1 dguselnx2 dguselnx3 dguselnx4 dguselnxlargoGW# confi tlargoGW(config)# asdm disconnect 0largoGW(config)# asdm disconnect 1 largoGW(config)# asdm disconnect 2largoGW(config)# asdm disconnect 3largoGW(config)# asdm disconnect 4largoGW(config)# exitlargoGW# sh asdm session0 dguselnx1 dguselnx2 dguselnx3 dguselnx4 dguselnxlargoGW#
An interesting point: the host dguselnx is my linux based computer that I am using to SSH to the ASA. I do not connect via ASDM from this device so it is strange that the hostid for the asdm sessions is showing as my linux host and not my Windows laptop (that I am trying to connect via ASDM from).

I have FWSM running version 3.2(23) , configured with interface vlans , all having the same security level , except outside interface vlan which has security level 0 , also same-security-traffic permit inter-interface and same-security-traffic permit intra-interface are configured, my problem is when establishing sessions (I tried TCP only using ssh and telnet , in addition of ping ) from one specific vlan (172.16.1.0/28) to other vlan (172.16.1.16/28) , I can not see the established sessions in "show xlate debug" output ! although I can see these sessions from capture ! the two subnets are separate , two different /28.
I can see the session established from the remaining interface vlans with same security level toward 172.16.1.16/28 , my question is what is the exception with vlan having this subnet172.16.1.0/28, how it can reach other vlan with subnnet 172.16.1.16/28 without showing anything in xlate table ? do you thing it is bug ?

I need to know if I can pull Netflow style data (Top Talkers, Top Sessions, etc) from ASA 5505s? We are looking at buying some but I need to be able to export this kind of data to my managment station which is also a collector. I have read on this forum that 8.2 and above should support Netflow but I have read conflicting information.

I have a problem with one of our IPSec site-to-site vpns.
-we use ASA5540 and the remote site uses a software based FW (steelgate borderware). -there are some old ACLs on our FW that have the remote site's IP address as an incoming node having TCP.... access to some servers on our LAN (why they didn't use static/dynamic NAT for clients of both end to have TCP connection???)
-when I try to set up the vpn the name entry of the remote site (which is optional) changes with IP address of the peer in vpn profile and it confuses the vpn, so the IKE phase1 won't establish. the name entry is because of those ACLs that have been entered in the past.
Q- How to stop ASA creating names via ASDM when adding ACLs?
Imagine the other site's network people are the most inflexible IT guys to do any changes in terms of using static or dynamic nat for their clients to have access to ours, so I can replace their FW IP address in ACL with other NAT addresses.

ASA5540# sh run nat-control
no nat-control
this means higher security can talk to lower security without NAT rules
Question 1) - if I want higher security zone to to talk to lower security with NAT rules. I would use statements like below. Am I correct?
nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
global (dmz) 1 interface
global (inside) 1 interface
Is this correct? So in this case I am kindly of like overriding the no nat-control statement ...right?
Question 2) - Now I have no nat-control enabled. Would the below statements (nat 0) be of any use for NAT exemption??
nat (dmz) 0 access-list dmz-nonat
nat (inside) 0 access-list dbase-nonat
And do I have to have a global statement for NAT 0 ...like below?
global (dmz) 0 access-list dmz-nonat
global (apps) 0 access-list dbase-

I have a remote site customer with a Cisco ASA 5540 running SSLVPN (Anyconnect)(8.03). It currently only serves about 450 SSLVPN clients. Since last friday, they've seen the CPU utilization go up to high 90% while only serving 400+ remote users. I saw some high cpu utilization bugs, but none looked to be relevant. How I can find the root cause of the CPU high utilization?

Just upped our external ASA-5540 pair to 8.4(1), and now one of our nat's is busted.
Here's the lowdown:
Our public IP for our IronPorts ends in .167. That IP is natted to a VIP on our ACE, which load balances to the IronPorts.
The outside interface of the ASA uses .162, which has been the pat for all outbound traffic for a few years... except for the subnet that houses the IronPorts. Due to reverse lookup, that subnet uses the .167 IP address for all outbound traffic.
After the code upgrade, the nat won't work. No email sent or received. Nothing but Deny's on the ASA with flags reading either "SYN" or "RST". IE: Apr 27 12:56:11 10.22.151.41 local5.crit %ASA-2-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from 69.25.174.17/36917 to 207.236.211.167/25 flags SYN on interface outside
If I return the subnet pat back to the outside interface, then inbound traffic works fine, though reverse lookup fails and anyone running a reasonable spam filter won't send to us.
