Cisco Firewall :: ASA5505 VPN Throughput
Jan 31, 2012
Do some have some realistic performance numbers for a ASA 5505 on a mixed setup with local internet breakout and site to site vpn ( and don't tell me 150 mbps 3des throughput on a 100 mbps ethernet) - what can be expected in a live environment where we f.ex feed it with a 100 mbps internet connection - with a site to site vpn with f.ex 20 office workers running office on a remote terminalserver and mixed local internet breakout.

I'd like to see some REAL LIFE comparisons of ASA firewall throughput (a bit like this one for ISR G2 Routers - [URL].
The reason I ask is that I recently upgraded a firewall from an ASA5505 to an ASA5520 on a small network where the only outside connectivity was a single 10meg Internet circuit with an IPSEC VPN (not landed on the firewall but on a router) to another site.
When I swapped out the firewall the users noticed a big improvement. The firewall is not doing anything out of the ordinary - no IPS or VPN, just standard state full inspection.

I have a Cisco 881 (without wifi model) connected to a 100Mb unmanaged switch and a cable modem with a 120Mb down, 10Mb up connection. When I connect the modem directly to my laptop, I can reach the 120Mb/s down and 10Mb/s upload speed. When I connect the modem to the 881, the max download is about 30Mb/s. Upstream 10Mb is no problem. I've been trying to change the duplex and speed settings on the FastEthernet4 interface, but this has only a worsening effect. I should be able to get about 100Mb/s (since switch is only 100) right?

The issue was about Cisco ASA5510 Sec Plus.2 Interfaces, LAN and DMZ.Both 1000 FD, no interface errors like CRC or something similar.If I start a data transfer (like FTP) or a data stream test (like Netperf), from DMZ to INSIDE I get a theoughput.If I start the same from INSIDE to DMZ (same hosts), i get a troughput almost ten times slower.If i do the same using netperf in UDP (not TCP) I get the same in both directions.

I'm new to the Networking world and am trying to establish a base for my network. I'm running ASA 5510 8.4(4), how can I measrue throughput ? In the ASDM, there is a nice feature for CPU, and the command show CLI also provides good info about CPU, but how can I get the throughput on a port basis ?

What is the difference between IP throughput routing throughput and firewall throughput
the reason is i am trying to spec a router for a mate who is setting up an online server for an old game ultima online which will have around 300-400 people each pulling around 10kb/sec
I recommended an 880 service router but when he spoke to a guy at the shop they said this would only run at 25mb/sec and he is plugging in to a 100MB/sec line
But the current router that is a home dlink which cost at most 60 Euros on a speed tester can pull 95mb/secI just don’t get how a 60 Euros router can download quicker than a 300-400 Euro router
They said try a ASA5505 that can do 150MB/sec of firewall throughput

I'm not clear about the capabilities of the ASA 5510 GigE interfaces (eth0/0 and eth0/1) with an without IPSEC tunnels enabled.
This page [URL] shows a figure of 170Mbps 'Maximum 3DES/AES VPN Throughput'. Does that mean per IPSEC tunnel or for the whole interface if it is IPSEC-enabled?

Looking at the ASA spec sheets, the ASA 5510 has a firewall throughput of 300Mbps. Does this mean 300Mbps half duplex or full duplex?
We are looking to replace our current firewall. Peak traffic at the moment is 250Mbps upstream and 20Mbps downstream, max concurrent sessions is 24K. Will I need to look at a ASA 5520 for the replacement?

I'm having a throughput problem with a new ASA 5540 running version 8.2 (1). When trying to access a database server using tcp port 1521 (sqlnet) it is about 10 to 20 times slower than when the database is not behind the firewall. We've been running the same software on a database behind an ASA 5520 running version 8.0 (3) with no problems for years. When I check the cpu usage on the 5540 at the ASDM home page, it is rarely above 20% and never above 30% while this is being tested. I tried testing ftp throughput over the same interface and it was normal with ~320 Mbps average rate transferring a 500 MB file.

I have a asa5580 with multiple interfaces. To replicate me databases to another site, I mainly use two interfaces on that firewall. Those interfaces have a steady pace, around 95%.
I am wondering when I should consider that the thoughput between those two interfaces is too much? Is there a good document that could explain me clearly why?
Also I want to be sure that I won't affect the normal traffic between the other interfaces. Is there a way to garantee certain traffic over others on an ASA? I don't have any router in me setup layer 3 role is perform by asa firewalls (static routes).

How do i measure the total throughput going via 5585-X.It has the firewall througput of 5Gbps. Looking at aggregate of all the interfaces traffic going through it seems about 4gbps is going through.
I use show traffic command and add up the trasmit and receive traffic on each live interface.Is that correct method and are there any more commands?

I have a Cisco PIx firewall that is connected to a cable modem with Time warner cable. I am supposed to have 35 down and 5 up for my speed on that modem. When I bypass the firewall and connect directly to the cable modem, I get download speeds in excess of 30 and upload speeds of about 5. However, when I connect via my workstation, which goes through the PIX, I am lucky to get speeds in the 1.2 for a download and 2-3.5 for the upload. I am using a laptop to test. We have gigabyte Cat5e cabling and gigabyte switches.
Below are statements from the config.The interface lines are per below:
interface ethernet0 100full
interface ethernet1 100full
interface ethernet2 auto shutdown
MTU outside 1500
How can i adjust this so I can make use of the 30 speed of the modem?

I have a normal setup of ASA5505 (without security license) connected behind an internet router. From the ASA5505 console I can ping the Internet. However, users behind the Firewall on the internal LAN, cannot ping the Internet even though NATing is configured. The users can ping the Inside interface of the Firewall so there is no internal reachability problem. In addition, I noticed that the NAT inside access list is not having any hit counts at all when users are trying to reach the internet.
When i replace the ASA5505 with a router with NAT overload configuration on it, the setup works normally and users are able to browse the internet.
The ASA5505 configuration is shown below.

I've recently upgraded my old firewall from a PIX to an ASA5505 and have been trying to match up the configuration settings to no avail. I have is that I can't ping the new firewall on it's inside interface, despite having "icmp permit any inside" in the running config. Secondly, the server I have on there ("Sar") can't connect out to the internet.I've included the ASA's running config incase anybody can see if something stands out. I have a feeling it's either not letting anything onto the inside interface, or there is no nat going on. Lastly (and possibly relevant), the firewall is actually going at the end of a vlan, which is different to the firewall's inside vlan number. I don't know if this is actually the problem because the server can't connect out even if connected directly into the firewall.

Internet ISP -> Juniper SRX 210 Ge-0/0/0
Juniper fe0/0/2 -> Cisco ASA 5505
Cisco ASA 5505 - >Inernal LAN switch.
1. Internet is connected to Juniper Ge0/0/0 via /30 IP.
2. Juniper fe0/0/2 port is configured as inet port and configured the Internal public LAN pool provided by the ISP. And this port is directly connected to Cisco ASA 5505 E0/0. Its a /28 pool IP address. This interface is configured as outside and security level set to 0.
From Juniper SRX, am able to ping public Internet IPs (8.8.8.8).
Issue:
1. From ASA am unable to ping public ip configured on Juniper G0/0/0 port.(/30)
2. From ASA no other Public internet IP is pinging.
Troubleshooting Done so far.
1, Configured icmp inspection on ASA.
2. Used the packet tracer in ASA, it shows the packet is flowing outside without a drop.
3. Allowed all services in untrust zone in bound traffic in Juniper SRX.
4. Viewed the logs when I was trying the ping 8.8.8.8 in ASA. It says "Tear down ICMP connection for faddrr **** gaddr **

I'm trying to troubleshoot an ASA5505.
The original goal was to block "Mumble/Murmur" (a voip app) traffic, which runs on TCP/UDP 64738, both inbound and outbound, except to a certain host (63.223.117.170).
However, when nothing I tried seemed to make a difference, just to troubleshoot, I decided to try blocking all inbound traffic. I first disconnected ethernet port 0/0 to ensure that it was cabled correctly and the outside interface went down when I did. That worked as expected, so I confirmed I had the right interface and it was cabled correctly.
I then applied a "any any deny ip" rule as the first element in the outside interface access_list, as you can see below. However, it appears to have had no real effect and the hit count is very low (it should be astronomical).

Is it possible to use IP "aliases" on an ASA5505 to use as static NAT public IPs to private IPs? For example, I have int e0/0 connected to my ISP using a /30 subnet and I have my private LAN connected to e0/1 with a /24 subnet. At the moment I can use the one usable IP from the /30 to NAT to the private LAN. The ISP is also routing a /28 subnet to the one public IP of the ASA. I would like to use some of the /28 IPs for NAT also. Can it be as easy as just adding the NAT commands? I figure I would have to add that subnet to the ASA somehow, no? In other devices (including the SA520) they use a concept called IP aliases whereby you define what additional IPs the device can use in its NAT config. Does the ASA support aliases? Maybe I have to do something with VLANs?

I have 1 network that I'm trying to make secure, and it needs to access 2 seperate networks. I tried using an ASA5505 that I had on the shelf to accomplish this but discovered that I had the basic license and that was prohibiting me from getting my connection to my 3rd network. I scrapped that idea and grabbed an old pix 501 off the shelf to bring my connectivity to my 3rd network online since the 3rd network is only passing ip traffic to a small group of servers on the outside I figure the 501 should be just fine.
So, here's the problem I am running into:My internal network is 10.10.16.0/16, I have a new domain controller with DHCP on it handing out addresses in the 10.10.16.0/24 range.External Network 1 is 192.168.16.0/24. The services I need from that network are primarily in 192.168.0.0 range, however there is a comcast router 75.123.123.123 (Changed of course) that provides high speed internet I need for my www traffic.External Network 2 is 10.1.1.0/16 I have about 4 servers I need to access on this network and that's it. This network has it's own domain and DHCP controller and I've been given a range of ip's to use on this network of 10.1.3.180-10.1.3.189 My switch is just a plane jane 3com switch with minimal management so I am attempting to use my ASA5505 to handle my layer 3 routing.
So here's my issue:ASA5505 (IN:10.10.16.1, OUT: 192.168.16.6): Passes traffic to External Network 1 and to the comcast router, no problem. All my computers on my 10.10.16.0/16 network have access to everything on 192.168.0.0/24 as well as getting full name resolution and www traffic across the comcast router. Can NOT access 10.1.1.0/16 no matter what. From inside the ASA or from on the inside LAN ports. It CAN ping the PIX 501 PIX 501 (IN:10.10.16.3, OUT: 10.1.3.180) Can ping EVERYTHING. Can ping 192.168.0.0/24, can ping 10.10.16.0/16 and can ping 10.1.1.0/16. Set to globally assign the other IP's in my range as addresses for outgoing traffic.Workstations (IN: 10.10.16.XXX DHCP, using 10.10.16.1 as gateway) Can only access everything on External Network 1. ZERO access to External Network 2. ATM I have both INSIDE and OUTSIDE ACL's wide open for both firewalls just to get connectivity going. I will be tightening it up after it is operational.Attached find a log file (Sensetive data removed of course) that contains the sh run and sh ver for both the ASA5505 and the PIX 501.

I've been trying to get my WRVS4400N connected to my ASA5505 on the internet through a Cox connection, but it isn't working. I cannot get the ASA to be the DHCP server for the wireless router. I've configured the wireless router as a gateway and pointed the DHCP server to the ASA but no addresses are being passed through to the wireless router. I've included a copy of my config.

We are trying to utilize a 5 ip block of addresses provided by our ISP. What we have assigned from them is like this: 10.10.10.46 - 10.10.10.50 is our ip range. 10.10.10.45 is the gateway. Subnet is 255.255.255.248. If we assign 10.10.10.46 to the outside interface how do we accept inbound traffic from the other addresses?

I have a asa 5505 Sec plus with 3vlan, inside, outside and dmz.
On the outside i have 5 ip's for my use, and in the dmz i have a webserver that need to communicate with one sql server on the inside.
The "sql" also needs to be accessible from outside and thus has a static nat with a dynamic nat so it replies from same ip as on nat ie 72.72.72.5 webserver is natted with 72.72.72.6
sql inside ip is 192.168.1.2, gw 192.168.1.1
webserver ip is 192.168.2.100 gw 192.168.2.1
sec lvl on inside is 100 and on dmz 50
with a dynamic policy running inside-net/24 to dmz-network/24 translagt to dmz 192.168.2.2 i can get it to ping 1 way from inside to dmz, but not the other way around...
All i need is to open 1 port ie 6677 both ways for this communication to work.
I'm not very familiar with the CLI and do most stuf in GUI (know i should learn CLI, but time doesnt let me)...
on access rules i have just added everything from any to any using , ip, icmp, tcp and udp just to be sure... :-)

I want to make it so if a user tries to use a different DNS server the request will be redirected to the one they should be using.I thought this might work but the ASA doesn't do PB routing
ip access-list extended transparent_dns
permit udp any any eq 53
route-map redirect_dns permit 10
match ip address transparent_dns
set ip next-hop ip.of.your.server
route-map redirect_dns permit 20
[code]....
The DNS server is windows 2003?Would policy based NAT or WCCP work for this? If so how would I go about it?

I would like to use an ASA5505 as a simple LAN-to-LAN ethernet router. My plan is to configure two interfaces with the same security level and then use the command that allows interfaces with the same security level to communicate with each other. I can get this to work without having to setup and ACLs or NAT stuff.

for the purpose of a redundency, incase the primary ISP goes down the backup kicks in.Can this be done with the basic license (max 3 vlans) or you need to have the security plus license. (20 vlans) Currently not using the 3rd vlan (dmz)

setting up ASA to allow passive FTP connection! I can get the FTP client to connect but it does not pull the directories. I have opened 21 and range of 55536-55566. I had some trouble gettting the range opened and saved. Normally with other small business routers (GUI) I make sure those ports are forwarded and ftp works.
Is the ftp inspection killing connection or is it my config?

customer's WAN solution, instead of buying routers, purchasing department bought ASA's (don't even get me started!). So I have 5 ASA 5505's for the branch offices and one 5510 for the Head Office. I am trying to get them to behave like routers and pass the traffic across. I set up a lab with a 5505 and the 5510 using an ethernet cable for both Outside interfaces since the WAN links are going to be MetroEthernet Layer 2 anyway.
I tried static routes, dynamic routing, I followed examples from other persons who did it and it doesn't work. I attached the configs here to show I have the default routes, specific static routes pointing the traffic out, any any rules configured as well. I cannot ping from the internal lan of the 5505 to the internal lan of the 5510.
