I am looking to deploy a cloud/borderless network solution and cannot get my head around how the licenses (AnyConnect Mobile and essentials) will be applied in a multiple context deployment. Any correct documentation.

I just learned that the licensing structure for the ASAs is changing, but I don't have any details. We have roughly 30 ASAs (from 5505s to 5585s). If there's a licensing change, I need to do an impact assessment and plan accordingly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently working with ASA 5585 with several contexts. What is the percentage of the CPU used per context. I already have the opportunity to do it for the whole ASA (context admin) using the SNMP mib CISCO-PROCES but, unfortunalty, this mib doesn't allow us to know the percentage of used CPU per context.
I was able to know the number of core used per context but not the percentage of the CPU used.
On my production environment I have a firewall with already two contexts defined (15% of CPU used) and I want to add a new one.
This context is going to use the same interfaces as the others contexts. When I will enable the context, can I have some sort of repercussion on these two context ?
I have two ASA 5510 in an Active/Active failover configuration; On the first ASA I have a license for five security contexts, on the second one I have the default two. On the pair I configured seven security contexts and everything works as expected; so far so good. Let's suppose now that the first ASA (the one with the license for 5 contexts) goes up in smoke; all the contexts migrate to the surviving firewall and life is still good. But what happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot the second ASA before the first one is repaired? My guess is that it will come up with just its own license for two contexts and that I will not be able to operate all my virtual firewalls.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an ASA 5585 in transparent mode, multi-context. It seems that the option to configure a BVI in one of the traffic contexts isn't there. In other words, while I see the option to configure a bridge group interface in the admin context, no such option comes up in the traffic context.

Is it possible to have context in transperant mode and routed mode. Means if i need three context then 2 of them is in routed mode and one of them is in transperant mode. If yes then how, i can 't find this info in cisco website.?I am havin 5585-x and asa version 8.4?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a new pair of ASA 5585's in a multi-context, active/active failover design. I cannot create management SSH connection to the contexts that are assigned to failover group 2. With all the security contexts that are assigned to failover group 1 I can SSH to the inside interface IP and login without a problem. When I try to do that to the group 2 contexts there is no response from the firewall at all, PuTTY just times out.
My firewalls are running version 8.2(4). The contexts seem to be functioning normally in all other respects.
I prepare replace FWSM to ASA 5585 Series,but I confuse the default virtual context counts on ASA 5585.I used 3 virtual contexts on my old FWSM(1 admin context with 2 contexts).According the ASA configuration guide below. url...
It state the ASA 5585 have default 2 contexts,Does it state the ASA 5585 just have 2 contexts or 1 admin context plus "2" context (3 contexts available)
we are planning to use multiple DMZ's in our organization, we are using cisco asa 5585, what is the advantage and disadvantage for using multiple DMZ's?. and which better to use one or two DMZ's or split every service in different DMZ ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are deploying the Cisco ASA 5585 in transparent mode with multiple contexts, the port-channel was configured to connect to the core switches using dot1q trunk. We are experiencing an issue which is the core switches are configured loop guard globally, therefore the port-channel connected to the firewalls will be put into inconsistent state when the failover happen, and the two firewalls' failover can not fulfill the failover at last.
I have two queries below:
1. Does the firewall allow the BPDU passing through when it is in standby mode, for example, secondary firewall is active for group 2 and standby for group 1. does the secondary firewall block the BPDU from the vlans under group1 ?
2. Can we disable the loop guard feature on the switch port-channel or is there any other way to solve this issue ?
We are going to deploy a active/active setup of 2 ASA 5585's. Here we will implement a concept of security zones through context's where different services will be firewall through a separate firewall context. will a security context consume 1 or 2 licenses because we are running in a Active/active setup? Right now I got completely confused when my manager asked me that question.I would say that we only use on security context license - but since we are running in a active/active setup - even though the other instance is standby - will it consume a context license? We are using ASA OS 8.4.x.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe already know that ASA 9.0 supports site-to-site VPN in multiple context mode. But remote access VPN isn't supported. Obviously, SSL-VPN is a very important feature for most multi-tenant deployment scenarios where each context acts as a border firewall towards the Internet for each tenant. The alternative to terminate all tenant remote-access VPNs in one context means that each tenant would have to be routable from the ASA, which of course isn't a reasonable requirement in most cases.
So, what I'd like to do is to deploy an ASA cluster, and provide remote access VPNs for each tenant, where the connectivity for each remote access group can be addressed with whatever IP address space, and that goes into it's own VRF in the back-end.
As far as I can tell, this isn't doable with the ASA, since multiple context mode prohibits the use of remote access VPN, and I can't think of any other work-around than either having individual firewalls running in single context mode for each tenant, or demand that all tenants are interoperable routing-wise and configure a separate ip address pool in a single context mode for each tenant.
Essentially, there's no good way to implement this with multiple virtual firewalls, using cisco firewalls?

I need to configure multiple context mode with active/standby failover solution.
Even after reading some Cisco documents I still can't understand if active/standby failover configuration has to be done within the admin context only or also within every single context (context-1, context-2 for example). In this case I have to allocate as failover interface a subinterface for each context (admin, context-1, context-2), right ?
Therefore a I have an other question: within the admin context, in a failover solution, do I have to allocate all interfaces I want to be moniotred, even though some will be used by context-1 only context and some others will be used by context-2 only context ?
An other question is: if active/standby failover configuration has to be done within each context, can I set regular failover within context-1 while stateful failover within context-2 ?
The last question is: can I use management interface within all 3 contexts ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pair of ASA 5520s in active/standby failover mode, single context. I'll be migrating to multiple context mode later this week. Do I need to break failover first? Or if I don't need to, should I? Or can I do this while maintaining failover? Can either of these scenarios will work (or fail). I'll be remote, doing my work via SSH, but have somebody local who can console in if needed.
Migration option #1
Log into active/primary ASA
Configure Multiple Context mode
Reboot both devices

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy corporate internal network is currently fire walled by an FWSM module on a 6513 switch. We have each security zone (we have eight) assigned to a FWSM context and have ACLs set up between the contexts and the enterprise LAN/WAN. Is it possible to support fire walling between these zones within a single security context? The reason I am asking is that we would like to purchase a second FWSM for use as a standby, but do not want to cough up the ~ $12K for the context license. We will ultimately be transitioning to ASAs for internal security, so do not want to spend more than we need to.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know most QoS capabilities aren't available in multiple context mode, but I need to do some really simple policing on one of my contexts. I just want to apply a hard 20Mbps cap on an interface. I've seen a few places that suggest that basic policing is possible in multiple context mode, but apparently not by the normal commands.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got an ASA which has a number of contexts. They all share the same external interface, and in the interest of saving addresses I'm wondering if the standby address for each context is really necessary. I know that in active/passive the standby address is what allows the two to communicate and monitor that particular interface, however, in active/active I don't see the point as the context is either going to be on one or the other.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm looking for some clarification regarding running a Cisco ASA in transparent mode with multiple contexts. To give you an insight into the network design we have the following -
Collapsed Core/Aggregation Layer running Cisco 3750s. The 2 Cisco 3750s are using SVIs with HSRP for default gateways per customer with a total of 8 customers. Each customer is segregated into seperate VLANs with Cisco 2960 switches used in the Access layer. Each customer has 2 Cisco 2960 switches with redundant uplinks to the Core/Aggregation layer. Customers are spanning tree loadbalanced between core/aggregation switches.
What i need to now do is add two transparent firewalls into the mix in either an active/active or active/standby setup. I need the firewalls to support all 8 customers, therefore I am guessing they need to run in multiple context mode. Having read into this it has left me somewhat confused as to how to integrate them into the above setup as a bump in the wire so to speak.
I'm working on a BoM for a customer and i need to offer an ASA5525-X pair in HA with AVC and WSE subscritption, I've two question:
1) In order to use AVC and WSE I need the ASA bundle that includes the SSD HD right? (ASA5525-SSD120-K9)
2) In order to have both ASA's in HA, do i need to order two Suscriptions (ASA5525-AW3Y-PR) or only one that is "shared" in the cluster?
I have a question with regard to setting up the ID firewall on the ASA 5585 in a single forest, multiple domain windows network.Currently I have a semi-operational IDF at the top level but can't find users on the lower other domains, here is the setup:I have 3 domains.
[URL]
Both domains have a two way parent-child trust and I can look for users in AD Users/Computer on both domains. I initially setup the ASA to look at domain1.test.com using an LDAP aaa-server per the IDF instructions, and then proceeded to configure the ad-agent. I installed the adagent on the domain1.test.com domain controller configured the settings on that system and had no problem adding users to the firewall and getting functionality within domain1. I looked to see if I could see domain 2 and domain 3 users and found none. I went ahead and added the domain2 system to the adagent on the DC and the system says that it is up, but when I search for users is not pulling them from domain2. Instead, it shows domain1 users as domain2user1. I also configured another adserver in the ASA to search ldap on domain 2 to no avail.The cisco documentation states the following:•Before you configure even a single domain controller machine using the adacfg dc create command, ensure that the AD Agent machine is first joined to a domain (for example, domain J) that has a trust relationship with each and every domain (for example, domain D[i]) that it will monitor for user authentications (through the domain controller machines that you will be configuring on the AD Agent machine). Single Forest, Multiple Domains—All the domains in a single forest already have an inherent two-way trust relationship with each other. Thus, the AD Agent must first be joined to one of the domains, J, in this forest, with this domain J not necessarily being identical to any of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines. Because of the inherent trust relationship between domain J and each of the domains D[i], there is no need to explicitly configure any trust relationships.Reading that it sounds like it should just work. I had everything properly configured before I installed the adagent, but I'm guessing that there is a chance that you can't have the adagent on the top level DC and get to communicate with the lower level domains.
Is it possible to use 1 or 2 of the 4 gigabit ethernet ports from one ACE straight into the other ACE for redundancy? So ACE_01 gig0/4 to ACE_02 gig0/4.If so, is it a case of just having the layer 3 config instead of trunking etc..Also - is it possible to create a context within the same vlan as the Admin context?
