I have an issue were thousands of connections on the ASA are marked with flags E, below is a visual of the connection. Any ideas what could cause this marking? Also, I can't grasp what the meaing of an outside back connection (ie flags E).

I have ASA 5510 with 8.2.4 and 8.0.x OS and all seem to have common problem of idle TCP connections not timing out. The host to host connections are coming over VPN tunnels. I have default timeouts on all the firewalls. I have tried changing global timeouts and as well as host specific timeouts using MPF but doesn't work at all ! The problem is when TCP connections are sitting idle in conn table for days and when connection limit of 50,000 conns reach the firewall starts behaving unpredictably dropping packets or unresponsive! I need the unused idle connections to timeout which is NOT happening either by changing global values or MPF.

For security reasons, on both of the routers I have configured default gateway to be ASA interface, then static route between them on the ASA, I get the following error when on station comming from first router trying to connect to another station behind secound router (again, on the same interface, maybe this is the issue?).
ASA-3-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from flags SYN
There is access list allowing traffic between but hit count is 0
I would like to understand someting about the behaviour of ASA with our traffic scenario and the management of tcp sessions.
1) In particular we noticed that we have connections with the flags Fin without any acknowledgement. The session is silent (the bytes counters aren't incremented) but it remains in the session table as an established connection with the idle timeout of an established conn.
We have about 20% (60K on 300K total) of conns in this state: at our eyes it seems to be an incorrect behaviour...
TCP OUTSIDE 62.149.128.151:110 INSIDE 10.254.158.12:61527, idle 0:11:36, bytes 433, flags UFIO

2) On the connections considered as half -closed we have received an ack to the fin (r or R flag is present), we would like to set the idle timeout to a value lower than 5 minutes but we were not able to reach that result
timeout pat-xlate 0:00:30
timeout conn 0:10:00 half-closed 0:05:00 udp 0:02:00 icmp 0:00:02
!
access-list timeoutClass extended permit tcp any any eq www
access-list timeoutClass extended permit tcp any any eq 8080
class-map timeoutClass
match access-list timeoutClass
class timeoutClass
3) And this type of conns with a Fin on both side that I'm not able to understand... with an ack on one of the side how can I have the other fin??

I know this issue probably has been beat to death, but I have yet to find the answer to my situation. We recently upgraded from a PIX515e to ASA5520. Shortly after the install I noticed a problem with the servers on our DMZ. This problem was NOT present with our old 515e. The problem is that there seems to be a communication problem between servers on the DMZ, specifically when I try to open the web server homepage from my mail server, I get time-outs. When I ping between the two in either direction, I get time-outs. This might seem trivial, but I have other data servers on the DMZ that need to communicate between themselves.
When we question the tech that performed the install, his answer was that there might be a problem with the switch the servers are connected to, or the servers might have a virus. He stated the process of ping should never involve the DMZ interface. And yes, our DMZ interface IP is the gateway for the servers. Now, if the DMZ (ASA) should never come into play with a ping, why when I turned on logging did I receive the error below? It sounds to me that the ping is going through the interface. Here are a few of the errors on the DMZ with the specific server IPs.
july 13 2012 12:50:04 106014 10.10.0.10 10.10.0.5 Deny inbound icmp src dmz1 10.10.0.10 dst dmz1 10.10.0.5 type 8, code 0
The ping problem was only used as an example the demonstrate that there is a comm problem on the DMZ. ASA is running in router mode.
I am running a Cisco ASA 5550 in active/standby mode. We are currently running ASA OS v8.2(3)5. I am wondering if there is a way I could limit source IP concurrent connections coming in my outside interface. Does the ASA have a feature/ACL syntax that supports this?

I have looked in the books I have (Cisco ASA, PIX and FWSM; ASA 8.0) and googled a good bit but can't seem to find any specific mention of how to do NAT exemption with v8.4. It seems NAT exemption (NAT 0 access-list) was deprecated. Using ASDM, there's no corresponding menu item for this that is obvious.
We have public addresses inside the ASA and want to allow in/outbound connections using these IP's without NAT. The ASA is a 5550.
I need to understand if ASA 5550 ver 8.2(1) is comptible with IPv6, if not what is the upgrade path to make it IPv6 compatible. The requirement is dual stack of IPv4 and IPv6 should run in the same HA cluster and later will shift IPv6 completely.
The existing infrastructure is equipped with ASA with HA Active/Active mode. The command output for required details are attached here in txt mode.
I have Active Standby ASA5550 setup with VPN premium license. A few days back we had a requirement of SSL VPN connection for and we got a temporary from Cisco for same, this license expired and the ASA reverted to it's original license. 3 4 days after this we saw a sudden increase in CPU utilization (upto 90% + -5%) on the ASA during production hours but were not able to figure out the reason, in order to restore the services we failovered the firewall to secondary and everything worked fine. We were suspecting one of the following but there were no logs for any of this
1. The ASA hardware was haivng problem
2. Some client was doing a DoS attack to bring down the ASA (no logs for this as well).
We took a downtime to look further by failovering the ASA back to primary and it worked fine without any issues ruling out the 1st option. We also came across a licesing doc [URL]
Downgrading any license (for example, going from 10 contexts to 2 contexts).
# Note If a temporary license expires, and the permanent license is a downgrade, then you do not need to immediately reload the security appliance; the next time you reload, the permanent license is restored.
As per this doc, sooner or later a restart was required on the ASA. We restarted secondary ASA and everthing was fine but when we restarted the primary ASA by swtiching over to secondary some of the server (not all) in the DMZ stopped working (even ICMP unreachable) and only came back to normal when the primary ASA was restored and working fine (with failover).
The reboot was done by shuting down the physical link between the Core switch and ASA inside individually.
I am not sure what could be the issue that the servers in the DMZ wen unreachable.
In my Cisco ASA 5550, I need to set two different syslogs servers, and I need to send the system logs to the first one (only admins login/logout), and the traffic logs and all the rest (informational level) to the second one. Do you know if is it possible or not and, if yes, how to configure it?

I have the following problem, right now we have an ASA 5550 connected to the client´s side. A reset is being received on the client´s side, but when we run the sniffers on both extremes of the network, we can see that the reset is not being sent by the server´s side.
We have narrowed it down to the 5550 ASA, but have found no bug that matches the description.
The characateristics of the reset packet are the following:
- It is the only packet with a TTL of 255.
- Both server and client have very different window sizes, and the reset packet even though has the server´s ip and port as source of the packet, it has the client´s window size.
- It has a correct ack number.
-Before the reset is received, there are a couple of retransmissions of the last packet sent.
- We´re handling a VPN tunnel between both servers.
