Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5550 - Interface Failover / Interface Goes Down
Mar 18, 2013
I've got a ASA 5550 firewall interface failover issue. (File attached).
when I shut down the inside interface Gi 1/1 of the left firewall(Active firewall), It failed to failover. but when I shut down the Gi 1/12 of the Core 1 switch, The firewall failover very well.
I followed this guide but I was not able to failover. [URL]
how can I configure so that when the Gi 1/1 or Gi 1/0 interface goes down, it can failover ? Code...

the inside interface on our primary ASA seemed to "hang". It dropped all the packets it received. Because the interface didnt go down, failover didn't happen. Device's info;
-Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(3)
-Device Manager Version 6.3(3)
-Hardware: ASA5550, 4096 MB RAM, CPU Pentium 4 3000 MHz
-Internal ATA Compact Flash, 256MB
-BIOS Flash Firmware Hub @ 0xffe00000, 1024KB
I attached a capture picture shows that traffic didnt go to the roof when the issue happened. Why the interface would "freeze" randomly?

I am normally only doing IOS config. I have little problem when trying to setup this unit.,It boots ASA software 8.0.4 fine.,When i go to enable mode and into configuration mode and try to configure ip on an interface i have a problem.,
ciscoasa(config)# intciscoasa(config)# interface manciscoasa(config)# interface management 0/0ciscoasa(config-if)# ?,Interface configuration commands: default Set a command to its defaults description Interface specific description dhcp Configure parameters for DHCP client duplex Configure duplex operation exit Exit from,interface configuration mode Interactive help for interface subcommands no Negate a command or set its defaults shutdown ,Shutdown the selected interface speed Configure speed operationciscoasa(config-if)#
I did try to upload the new software 8.4.2 from rommon using TFTP. ,It boots 8.4.2 fine, but have same problem as in 8.0.4.,I did try to create a user haveing priv 15 and logging on as that user. It gives the same.,The firewall is not in transparent mode.

I've recently set up a LAN-2-LAN VPN tunnel to a 3rd party service provider who uses RFC 1918 private addressing internally and cannot perform NAT on their side of the tunnel. In order to avoid conflicts with our address space I've had to implement DNAT for the address on the 3rd party network that users at my end must access. The tunnel terminates at my end on the outside interface of an ASA-5550 running 8.4.2. While the ASA has 8 interfaces at security levels between 0 and 100, DNAT only need occur for traffic flowing from inside (100) to outside (0).
The following (redacted) addressing applies:
Address of the server on the 3rd party provider network: 192.168.2.155
Mapped address of server as seen on the network at my end: 10.168.2.155
I've currently implemented DNAT using object NAT as follows:
object network remote-server
host 192.168.2.155
nat (outside,inside) static 10.168.2.155
This works as expected, however in examples and discussion I've seen, it appears that the typical way to configure NAT for this scenario is with manual NAT as follows:
object network remote-server
host 192.168.2.155
object network remote-server-mapped
host 10.168.2.155
nat (inside,outside) source static any any destination static remote-server-mapped remote-server
Is there any reason why I should consider using the manual NAT method rather than the object NAT method in this scenario?Are there any technical reasons why using object NAT in this manner should be avoided?

I am currently doing some research (for my employer) into creating multi-context sub-interfaces on a Transparent ASA 5550.
I have not been able to find any details on this subject which state it is or it is not possible. This will be used for Syslog logging.

I am switching a switch connecting to the ASA5550 tomorrow. My current switch is using fiber connecting to the ASA. The new one only support copper. If I switch between fiber to copper on the ASA (change media-type command on interface) will it cause a down time? I have VPN tunnel on the ASA and don't want the session to reset.

I am looking to change my Failover Int IPs on my PIX 515E Bundle, Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5)123 with the least impact on the network.
For example:
interface ethernet5 "state"
IP address 172.18.0.245, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.245 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.246
I want to change these lines to .....
interface ethernet5 "state"
IP address 172.18.0.185, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.185 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.186

I have two ASA 5540s, ver 8.4 configured in Active/Standby failover.I am also using the redundant interface feature for my Inside interface. Gig0/0 is the active primary and Gig0/1 is standby.
I will activate failover monitoring of the Inside interface using the monitor inside command.
My question concerns the failover monitoring of the redundant interface. If the gig0/0 connection were to fail would the Gig0/1 interface become Active, AND simultaneously result in a full device failover?
Or, does Gig0/1 of the Inside interface redundant pair simply become active and not change the Inside interface device failover state? Thus NOT resulting in a device failover.

From ASA 5520 we tested the interface failover it not working even the interface are getting monitor .
primary is active.
Manually we shut the outside interface of the primary device configuration is getting reflecting in secondary as outside interface shut. Interface failover not happen.
ii All the interface are getting monitor when we gave command sh failover. even though when we shut outside interface failove not happening.
how to do the interface failover in ASA 8.4 version.

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 in our office. We are currently using Interface 0 for outside and 1 for inside. We only have 1 Vlan in our environment. We have two three switches behind the firewall. Today the uplink to Interface 1, to the firewall, on the switch went bad. I want to setup a second inside interface on the firewall and configure it as failover incase this happens again. I want to attach it to the other switch. Can I do this? If so, what do I need to do? would it only be a passive/standby interface?

Do I correctly understand that when two ASA 5510 are in fail over pair, the switchover from primary to secondary if one interface of primary goes down shall happen ONLY if failover link is up? So when the fail over link is down and one interface on primary got down also, interface tests between the two ASAs still are being done , but secondary SHALL NEVER try to become active.
In this case why to make tests on data interfaces ? What is the reason to make them? If the knowledge of that some interfaces of primary became down comes through failover link - no need to make additional interface tests - primary will tell about the failure to secondary. If so should run no monitor-interface if name command to dis load devices and network by foolish tests?

I am getting this error on my PIX 535 with 8.0.4 code. The error is Error : OSPF/RIP cannot be enabled on failover interface, I am getting this error while trying to enable RIP on the firewall. The context is single mode and failover is enabled. When I am disabling the failover the Firewall is accepting the RIP configurations.

Currently l have two ASA 5520's in a active/passive failover scenario. Currently the interfaces for the inside and outside are fixed at 100/FULL.I want to repatch them into GigE ports setup as Auto Negotiate.Is there anyway of keeping the connections through the firewall active in this type of scenrio or will l have downtime disconnecting and repatching? or could l possibly disable failover and reconfigure each ?

I have a pair of ASA5510s in a failover configuration where I see these 2 logs repeated every 15 seconds.
105008 1 Nov 27 2012 10:39:27 (Primary) Testing Interface management
105009 1 Nov 27 2012 10:39:28 (Primary) Testing on interface management Passed
I have read other threads where these are accompanied by "105005, Lost Failover communications with mate on interface". But I'm only getting these 2. The other thing that is confusing is that the "management" interface is not the failover interface. So why do I see 105008/9 logs about it?
Output of "sh fail":
5510a# sh fail
Failover On
Failover unit Primary

I have Pix 501 firewall and I'm just configuring the device for "Email Server" to allowing POP/SMTP.
Inside Interface Address: 132.147.162.14/255.255.0.0
Outside Interface Address: ISP provided IP address
My question is can my traffic goes from inside interface to outside interface? (because the inside interface address not from 10.0/172./192.168 private address)Also I'm allowing internet from this email server (132.147.162.14) so what my access list to be configured? and what my subnet mask shoud be there?
Pix(config)#access-list outbound permit tcp 132.147.162.14 255.255.0.0 any eq 80
Pix(config)#access-list outbound permit udp 132.147.162.14 255.255.0.0 any eq 53
Pix(config)#access-group outbound in interface inside

I am having a curious problem with two Cisco ASA 5550. They are configured in Active/Standby failover and in routed mode.The problem is: I cannot connect via SSH to the ACTIVE unit, only to the STANDBY. If a switchover is forced the problem is still the same. because it happens both with the primary and the secondary unit.It is not a L2 or a transport problem, because I can ping or access both units via ASDM.

According to Cisco, one of the ASAs must have an Unrestricted License [URL]:
"On the PIX/ASA Security appliance platform, at least one of the units must have an unrestricted (UR) license. The other unit can have a Failover Only Active-Active (FO_AA) license, or another UR license. Units with a Restricted license cannot be used for failover, and two units with FO_AA licenses cannot be used together as a failover pair."I am unfamiliar with the different ASA licenses, so with my current license, I am unable to enable failover on my two ASAs. Here is a snippet of the "show version" output on one of my ASAs (they are the same as far as licenses go):
Licensed features for this platform:Maximum Physical Interfaces : UnlimitedMaximum VLANs : 250Inside Hosts : UnlimitedFailover : Active/ActiveVPN-DES : EnabledVPN-3DES-AES : EnabledSecurity Contexts : 5GTP/GPRS : DisabledSSL VPN Peers : 10Total VPN Peers : 5000Shared License : DisabledAnyConnect for Mobile : DisabledAnyConnect for Cisco VPN Phone : DisabledAnyConnect Essentials : DisabledAdvanced Endpoint Assessment : DisabledUC Phone Proxy Sessions : 2Total UC Proxy Sessions : 2Botnet Traffic Filter : Disabled
This platform has an ASA 5550 VPN Premium license.

I am trying think of a better way to provide redundancy on some internally protected networks. We maintain our own WAN/backbone between our primary site and backup site. Is it possible to have two Cisco ASA 5550s in setup for failover at completely different sites as long the networks connected are available?

I've two Cisco ASA 5550 firewall. I'm don't have much knowlege on configuring this kind of firewall. I need configuring these firewall for simple NAT. I have 3 public IP address. I would like to allow server's inside of the firewall to be able to connect to internet using private address. A basic NAT. Also need to configure some port forwarding. We've bought two firewall for the Active/Active failover support. How can i configure this through ASDM? My ASDM version is 5.2.

Since the "zero-downtime upgrade" is not supported, I would like to validate the process I put together for upgrading a failover pair of asa5550 with the characteristics below. Specifically I am concerned with the role of the standby during the upgrade. This is my setup:
.- single context mode
.- active/standby
.- current firmware asa821-k8.bin / asdm-621.bin
.- role: firewall and VPN concentrator for segmented server farm network. Dynamic/static/exemption NAT heavily used.
My target is asa842-k8.bin / asdm-645.bin and I am doing a two step upgrade (8.2(1) -> 8.3(1) -> 8.4(2)) to avoid the "unidirectional" attribute and CSCtf89372 bug issues. This is a short version of what I have in mind:
.- Verify stability of failover pair and make adequate backups before beginning.
.- plug into the console of active, ssh into active and standby.
.- vpn/act(config)# no failover ( disable failover from active )
[Code]....
After reboot, point to 8.4(2) and reload again. Same concern regarding the standby unit.
I understand there might be configuration tweaks needed to the NAT configuration. After second reboot test connectivity and if successful, on active "failover", "write standby" and "failover reload-standby". Otherwise "downgrade" and back to the drawing board.

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 and I have my internal and external interfaces configured but I currently cannot ping from the inside to an IP Address on the outside. I had this setup and working and I have another set of equirement that I am replacing that is working with my service provider so I know it is a configuration issue. When I ping 4.2.2.2 for example I get:
Destination host unreachable
Do I need to add a static route from my inside interface to my outside interfaces?

I share a modem and router with my building, and connect to the internet using an ethernet cable which plus right into the wall in my apartment. When I hover over the network/internet icon it tells me that I have a local connection only and can't get online. No changes were made to my computer between it working and not working - I have not installed any new software and the modem+router have not been changed.
When I try ipconfig/release is says it can't perform the operation while the media is disconnected. It also tells me that "an error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1: The system cannot find the fie specified".

Needing to bridge from my wic interface to an ethernet interface on a 2900 series router so that I can pass through the ip address given to the WIC, to my ASA so that I don't have to give my ASA a private range address.

I have five 877 routers connected to ADSL circuits provided by Vodafone. Each has a VPN tunnel back to a PIX.
Occasionally one of the sites will lose it's connection to the PIX.
When we check the log, we find entries like these:-
Apr 5 01:31:54.085 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to downApr 5 01:33:19.344 UTC: %CRYPTO-
[Code].....
As you can see, the physical interface (ATM0) is not being reported as changing state to down, neither is the Dialer interface.
When the router is in this state we have to SSL to the public IP address of it and manually restart the ISAKMP SA.
When the router sees the ATM interface go down and subsequently come back up, the VPN connection to the PIX also recovers.
So - in a long winded way I think I'm asking....why does the Virtual interface go down and is there anything I can do to stop it happening?
