I need to add memory to my ASA 55xx's (running 8.2(2)), some of which are config'd active/active or active/standby. The docs say that ram must be identical, which makes sense for production. My question is this: can I upgrade the standby units first, make them active, and then upgrade their mate? Or must I schedule downtime to take the pair down for the upgrade?
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to trigger stateful (or stateless) failover on ASA 55xx (8.0.3) when there's a failure on the IPS unit? I understand the fail open/fail close and its application on a single firewall, but the better solution for an IPS failure in a redundant pair would seem to be a stateful failover to the other ASA, and I don't see that as a documented feature.

i have cisco ASA 5510 Firewall using in my network, i have planning to upgrade the Flash memory from 256 mb to 512 mb and the RAM from 256 mb to 1GB.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded our ASA5540 to 8.4, THEN noted the increased requirements for Memory. I purchased the 2Gig upgrade, but when installing in the Primary unit today, noted that there were 4 slots. Slots 1/3 had 512Mb modules, so I installed the 2 x 1Gig modules in slots 2/4.
The ASA5540 came up clean, and it "sees" the entire 3Gig of memory.
My question: Is this a SUPPORTED configuration? All documentation I have read only mentions 2Gig of memory. Also, If I had FOUR x 1Gig memory modules, would the ASA5540 support the 4Gigs of memory?
We want to run ASA 8.4.x on an old ASA5540. We need to upgrade its memory to 2 GB with the following memory upgrade: ASA5540-MEM-2GB=
I suspect that we will completely remove the existing 1 GB of memory and replace it with 2 GB. If this is the case, can I use this 1 GB of memory removed from the ASA5540 and put it in a ASA5510 instead of buying a ASA5510-MEM-1GB= for the ASA5510?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried last night to upgrade the memory in my old 5510. It's about 5 years old and has the single memory socket. I followed the instruction included in the kit:
Mfr. Part#: ASA5510-MEM-1GB
I did wear an ESD wrist strap (genuine Cisco at that!) and ensured the memory was fully seated, the handles locked in.Upon restarting the ASA, for over 15 minutes, it stayed in mode: Power LED steady, Status LED flashing, other LEDs off. No response to attempts to SSL via Putty. I powered it off, verified the memory was indeed fully seated, and re-installed the original 256 MB module. It powered up normally in less than 5 minutes. Is there anything else to try before returning the memory? Tonight, I can try the same new memoy module and see if it works.
I recently upgraded the flash and the RAM on one of my ASA 5505 lab machines. The flash was upgraded from 128 to 512MB and the RAM was also upgraded from 256 to 512MB. I am using asa845-k8.bin. The firewall boots and runs file until you issue the reload command. The system shuts down but never reloads.

I applied it, but since we'd only purchased one license, it broke failover. 8.4 lets you share tracking licenses, and since we were planning on the upgrade to 8.4.x anyway, I figured no big deal, I'll get that straightened out when I do the upgrade.
Did the upgrade this weekend, and I still can't get things happy, the boxes don't see one-another:

Preparing to upgrade the IOS on a failover pair of ASA 5580's and was wandering what is gonna happen after I've upgraded the IOS on the standby unit and rebooted. How is the active unit going to react when it sees an IOS mismatch prior to me making the standby the primary and upgrading it's IOS ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince 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 need to upgrade the active/standby failover pair of 5510 ASA's to have1 Gig DRAM each, and I am trying to plan out the upgrade process. I'm looking for a zero downtime upgrade process.
I know that the failover pair has to have the same amount of memory, so how do I perform a zero-downtime upgrade process?Can I power off the standby unit and upgrade it's memory first? Or will it cause a memory mismatch between the active and standby units when it is powered on?
Upgrading the memory on an 1841. After inserting a 256MB/PC133/SDRAM/DIMM it would not post during the boot, hangs.If i take out the chip it works fine.The on-board memory is 128, so the 256 is the max it would take to a total of 384. According to the documentation this should work.The memory chip is a Transcend chip, basically Samsung.

I've seen a lot of things I want to and need to fix to get our network more secure but my first order of business is Visio diagrams of the old network and projected diagrams of the new network when we move to our new DC next Saturday. I've made maybe 1 diagram on my own thus far and have edited a few. I want to create physical and logical diagrams but I'm not quite sure what to include and what not to include on either since I haven't seen a wealth of diagrams up to this point in my career.
1st question: Does anyone know where I can get visio stencils of IPS modules for ASA 55xx series? Didn't see them on Cisco's stencil site or with a google search
2nd question: Our network is setup like this... A stack of 3 3750s act as our "Core" and have a 2 port etherchannel to every layer 2 2960 switch (15) in the network. In a physical diagram, 30 links would make it a little busy, hell even 15 links represented as the etherchannels would be busy
I am in process of replacing our 44xx controllers with new 55xx controllers. During the upgrade, I would like to add redundancy to our guest controllers that reside in the DMZ and had a question about regarding the setup.
If I remember correctly, I would place both guest controllers on the same mobilty group, and then add both of the controllers to the foreign controllers. The foreign controllers will form mobility with both anchors, but choose the one with the lowest MAC address as primary. On the foreign controller, if the lowest MAC addressed anchor controller does not respond, it will connect to the second controller. Is that still true? or is there a better way to go about it?
Also, I was wondering, do I need to put different guest network ranges on each of the Anchor controller? or can I use the same exact range on both anchor controller (since if a controller goes down, the clients would be reconnecting to the second controller anyways?)
Any best way to setup redundant Anchor (guest) controllers).
it is possible use 1 or 2 Gb memory with ASA 5505 or only 512 Mb ?
