Cisco Firewall :: ASA 8.4 In Multiple Context Mode With Different Amounts Of Context

Jan 13, 2013

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.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 7.2 Adding A Context In A Multiple Context Environment

Jul 1, 2012

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 ?

Cisco Firewall :: SSLVPN 9.0 / Web Vpn In Multiple Context Mode?

Mar 11, 2013

We 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?

Cisco Firewall :: Backup ASA 5510 Multiple Context Mode

Oct 19, 2011

I am running a ASA 5510 in multiple context mode. IOS 6.4(2), ASDM 6.4(5)106.
 
In older ios/asdm versions it was possible to backup the configuration using ASDM.

In 6.4(5)106 i am missing this feature (see attachment)
 
Is it possible to backup a multiple context firewall using ASDM and above mentioned software versions?

Cisco Firewall :: Migrate To Multiple Context Mode On ASA 5520s Cluster?

Jun 4, 2012

I 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
Login to active/primary ASA

[code]....

Cisco :: Policing In Multiple Context Mode?

Jan 4, 2012

I 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.

Cisco :: ASA Standby Addresses In Multiple Context Mode?

Mar 18, 2011

I'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.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: 3750 - ASA Multiple Context Mode

Nov 16, 2011

Im 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.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA5510 Single Mode / Move To Multi Context Mode

Sep 16, 2012

I got an ASA 5510 system currently in single context mode, with CSC SSM installed. Single ISP uplink to internet, no VPN. And now customer would like add another ISP uplink, without invest another box for HA.What come across my mind is make the current box into multi context. There's some area i need to concern and also need yours perspective on it.
 
Question 1: For making the firewall into multi context, am i need to do it from scratch, issue mode multiple command. Then rebuilt the current production config into one of the context, then another context meant for the new IPS uplink, and one admin context?
 
Question 2: For CSC -SSM licensing requirement, model ASA 5510 with security plus license is able to support 2 context. So if i split my firewall like what i mention in question, what exactly number of context do i own (admin, context A, context B)?
 
Question 3: For CSC-SSM module in multi context mode, so the management port of CSC SSM must attach at admin context?
 
Question 4: After configured all the policy and traffic to scan, how exactly i should do in order apply this policy to the interface?  Should i only enable at admin context, then firewall service-policy rules, and apply it global, OR should i also do the same action on context A and Context B?

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 Possible To Create A Context Within Same Vlan As Admin Context

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?

Cisco Firewall :: Multiple Context Active / Standby (ASA 5520)

Mar 8, 2013

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 ?

Cisco Firewall :: 6513 - FWSM Multiple Security Zones On Single Context

Nov 7, 2012

My 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.

Cisco Firewall :: 5585x - Threat Detection Log Entries In Multi Context Mode

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 Context Configured On Bridge Mode

Sep 20, 2012

I have two ACE working on active-standby mode, I have one context configured on bridge mode, with two vlans, the client (vlan 100) and server (vlan 101) sides.I need to balance another service for two servers (different from the ones on the first context ) on the vlan 101, so as the documentation says i can't configure the same vlan on another context because it is already configured on the 1st context as bridge.so my question is the only way i could balance this service is to configure it on the same context??. or there is another way?.These are the design limitations that i have to do this:

1.- I can't change the servers IP address.

2.- The VIP which will answer the clients request is on the same IP network segment as the servers, for example: server1: 192.168.100.125, server2: 192. 168. 100.126, VIP: 192.168.100.124

Cisco Firewall :: 6500 Admin Context On FWSM

Dec 3, 2012

I have just joined a networks team and will be working on two fwsm versions 4.0(8) in two 6500 routers. Now the fwsms seem to be virtualised with multiple contexts. The server team want a new context setup for a group of servers behind a vlan. [code]
 
This context just seems to have  two Vlans and a BVI interface. What is the function of this context and why we have 2 admin contexts?
 
Also another important question is on which 6500 do I create the new context? Is the admin context active on one 6500 just like other contexts and will sync across or do I have to create the new context on both 6500s.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5550 - How To Change The Context Size

Nov 6, 2011

I'm having a problem with a context, I have two CISCO ASA 5550 (failover) and also we have the CISCO CSM to monitoring it, but since some weeks is showing a memory usage of 100% but then it drops until reach zero and then again the graphic goes up. This is the second time that the graphic shows this
  
I also check this on the CLI and i'ts fine because is showing the real percent, so my question here is why is showing this kind of behavior, I mean it was working fine before.
 
In the other hand I checked the secondary device and this is showing a 99% of used memory, but as the other one this graphic doesn't drop
  
I also checked via CLI and it says that it had the 99% memory used , Is there a way that i can put more memory on the context or what do you suggest that I can check on my firewalls.
