Cisco Firewall :: ASA5510 IOS Upgrade From 7.04 To 8.2?
May 31, 2011
We are about to upgrade our ASA's from 7.04 to 8.2. Obviously I will be opening a TAC case to assist with the upgrade and I will also be upgrading ASDM software at the same time. These production firewalls are paired with an active --> failover scenario and not active --> active. I had previously engaged cisco regarding the upgrade and they have recommended an upgrade path to ensure success. Also, I have a pair of test ASA's that I've gone through the upgrade process with - documenting the changes in commands and any changes in my config (I didn't notice any).So, the reason for my post is this: What are the gotcha's that you may have run into when upgrading your ASA's?These are fairly high visibility ASA's and any downtime due to the upgrade needs to be mitaged as much as possible.
I have two ASA5510's set up in failover, and the secondary keeps crashing after doing the interface checks when bringing failover up. This only happens if I try to upgrade the image on the secondary to anything newer than 8.4.1 (I've tried with 8.4.1-11 and 8.4.2). The primary one run just fine with new images.
I don't have the exact error right now, as I need to do a screen capture from console. It's just a huge crash dump.Are there anything I might have missed during the upgrade? Should I cold-boot both the firewalls in the correct order?
we have ASA 5510 which we need to upgrade from 8.0(3) to 8.2.5. can we directly switch to 8.2.5 from 8.0(3) , if not what all versions we need to go from.
What all point needs to check before that following is show flash output.
I am having ASA5510 firewall which has 1GB RAM currently. I want to upgrade to 2GB. When I opened the box, I can see only 1 slot to insert the RAM. I searched in Cisco website and I got to know that I need to use 2 x 1 GB RAM. So, I need to have 2 slots to do that. But, I am having only 1 slot in the box.
Upgrade from firmware 8.21 5o 8.31? I am installing 1GB of memory in my ASA 5510 and in the process I have upgrade the firmware.
- Will the upgrade change my configuration or will I have to change this manually myself at some point - What is the meaning of "Real IP" I am not sure what the means (reading up on it now) - What else should I be concerned about during the upgrade?
I have an ASA5510 which was running version 8.31. SSH was working fine on version 8.31 but since i upgraded it to version 8.41 the SSH stopped working.
An ASA5510 (with 1 webserver behind it, just starting to build the cluster) was functioning OK with version 8.2: I was able to log in using RDP to the server bhind it from some trusted IP's.
I updated ASDM to the latest version 6.4.7, and then the ASA-software to 8.3.2. After reloading, I could not access the server anymore. I saw that changes were made to the config. Then I updated to version 8.4.3, same results of course, and this is the config. [code]
We currently have a central hub using an ASA5510 and then a few site-to-site VPN connections to our support staff homes. The devices at the homes are Cisco routers. We were running version 8.25 on the ASA and all was working fine. We recently upgraded to version 8.42 and although all the functionality of the network is ok and it does what it should, our support staff cannot ping, ASDM or telnet to the ASA inside interface anymore whereas they could before the upgrade. The home VPNs all run on a 10.30 subnet (i.e. 10.30.1.x, 10.30.2.x etc etc). I can post our config (security edited of course), but it is quite a big config. The command management-access inside is specified and the 10.30.0.0/16 subnet is permitted to ASDM and Telnet. Are there any extra things that have to be done in version 8.42 to get this to work as the support staff do have to access the firewall for configuration purposes. At the moment, they have to telnet to one of the routers on the local LAN and then Telnet to the firewall from there.Prior to the upgrade, they were all able to ping the inside ASA interface and also telnet and HTTPS to it from their PCs at home. Now they cannot and the only change made was an upgrade to 8.42. Immediately after the upgrade none of them can ping the interface anymore and it seems it can only be accessed from the local LAN. I cannot find any access-lists that might be blocking the packets so can only assume it's something in the way 8.42 works.
I am a bit unclear as to the upgrade path I should take - I have 2 ASA 5510s in active/standby running 8.0(4)34 and would like to upgrade to 8.2.5. Do I need to first upgrade to 8.0.(5) before upgrading to 8.2.5, or can I just jump straight to 8.2.5?
I am using Cisco ASA5510 Firewall in my network. Upgraded the Memory and Flash to 1GB and 512MB.But the 5 interfaces ports are 10mbps.Can it possible to upgrade the module of Interfaceses from 10mb to 1gb?
Currently my ASA5510 has a 64MB internal flash. Does the ASA require a higher capacity flash for an IOS upgrade from 7.2(x) to 8.2(x)? The Cisco Release Notes does not state any internal flash requirement, but just wanted to double check.
I 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.
[code] I would like to the ASA5510 Base license upgrade to Security Plus license. But after the upgrade is still the license of the Base.I think I was wrong option selected in the process of upgrading, how should I do to be successful upgrade
ASA 5510 have two model Bun-K9 and Sec-Bun-K9 from the datasheet find out difference Port related and Redundancy. My questions is : Have any major difference for Security service between two model ?
I have recently upgraded a customer ASA5510 to version 8.3.
After upgrade web access etc is working fine however VPN is down. The config looks very different after the upgrade plus what looks to be duplicate entries.
I suspect its an access list issue but I'm not sure. hostname ciscoasa domain-name default.domain.invalid enable password NvZgxFP5WhDo0hQl encrypted
I am able to ping from Switch to firewall inside ip and user desktop ip but unable to ping from user desktop to FW Inside ip.. config is below for both switch and FW Cisco ASA5510....

i have a ASA5510 in the office, that already configured 3 context, namely, admin, user, server.in the server context, the last running config was not saved, and there was a power trip last friday night. 1 of the sub interface was affected, and i need to recreate that interface.I am getting the below error, it only allow me to do changes those pre-defined interface.how to I create extra sub interface?
I have a cisco asa 5510 with security plus license in Live enviroment . I need to add a secondary firewall . I was planning to do in active /standby mode for failover .But i have a doubt , when i do "show version " on live asa output says Active /active failover , does this means that i can only configure failover in active/active mode not in active/standby (which i want to do )?
i am using Cisco ASA5510 Firewall in my Network in the distrubition Layer .Private Range of Network Address use in the Network and PAT at the FW for address translation.presently encountering an issue the users behind the FW in my network unable to RDP at port 2000 presented at the Client Network.Able to Telnet on port2000 but not RDP . any changes needed at the FW end to get the RDP Access.
We have to use scp on all of our network devices. It worked quite well on our routers and switches but I can't seem to get it to work for the firewalls and IPS. I enabled scp on my ASA5510 using the command "ssh scopy enable". I also ensured that a rsa key was generated and that ssh ver 2 was enabled. But I can't seem to locate the commands to actually have my firewall either copy it's configuration to a server or reach out to a server to pull down a file. We are using IOS 8.2(1).
I have a customer who wants to prioritze rdp traffic throgh the firewall.I know that its port 3389, but outgoing traffic is a random port number.Any smart way to catch this traffic and get it in the LLQ ?
My device has 3 interfaces configured: inside, outside, DMZ. Right now I can access the DMZ from the Internet and I can access the DMZ from the LAN using an exempt nat statement. I am having a few issues setting up DMZ > LAN access however. The servers running on the DMZ need to send information to my LAN such as syslog traffic for example. Will DMZ traffic be NATed or should this somehow be excluded? Bascially all LAN devices should get to the DMZ devices by their actual IP and vice versa. Are there any special statements I need to add to the ASA such as nat or ACLs to make this work? My LAN is 10.10.6.0/24 and DMZ is 192.168.254.0/24.
I have a ASA 5510 with asa8.4(2) and asdm6.4(5)205. Have a new basic config, nothing special at this time. I just cannot seem to get from the inside to the outside. From the outside interface I can ping, so I have a good Internet connection. [code]
WE have a DMZ on ASA5510 8.4, it can access anything internal interface but cannot get out to internet or outside interface. I try to ping from a host in the DMZ to 8.8.8.8 and get this in the log 6Apr 25 201208:24:431100038.8.8.80172.10.1.1501Routing failed to locate next hop for ICMP from outside:8.8.8.8/0 to inside:172.10.1.150/1. [code]
We have an ASA5510 with a backup ISP connection protecting our corporate network. I also have a mail server and I would like to route SMTP traffic over the backup network. I realize that the ASA5510 does not support PBR, but I also know that I can use static NAT rules as a workaround to direct specific types of traffic over a particular interface (e.g. "static (outside,inside) tcp 0.0.0.0 www 0.0.0.0 www netmask 0.0.0.0" and "static (backup,inside) tcp 0.0.0.0 smtp 0.0.0.0 smtp netmask 0.0.0.0"). is it possible to use something similar to force a particular host to use a specific interface? I have tried to make this work on my own without success. Is it even possible?
I bought a Cisco ASA 5510 (P/N: ASA5510-BUN-K9) and i would like to know if i have to buy some license,What i mean is, for the basics, it still being necessary aquire some license?
I have a 2811 ISR configured to provide the following services to my network:
Internet access to LAN users Cisco Call Manager ExpressSite-to-stie VPN to 3rd party networksVPN server to provide VPN access to remote usersSecurity Zone configurationsStatic NAT configurations Now I recently just got the ASA5510 device and I am not sure how to go about with the setup, whether to put the ASA in between the internet and the ISR (Internet - ASA - ISR - LAN), or put the ISR in between the internet and the ASA (Internet - ISR - ASA - LAN)?
While i know I can move most of the config unto the ASA, i know that the CME cannot be moved, hence I would like to do the setup such that users on the network still have access to CME.
We have an ASA5510 and I am getting absolutely no response from the console port. Not even a blip when I turn it on. If I leave the compact flash in the internal bay, I get Green Power, Amber Status, Amber Active and Green VPN when I start it up. The Flash LED flashes Green twice then goes out. If I move the compact flash to the external bay, all of the other lights remain the same as described above but the Flash LED goes to steady Green. How ever, there is still no response whatsoever from the console port. Have replaced the DIMM but that had no effect. This is a four (4) slot ASA5510 and I have just the one DIMM in slot P13 as described on a post I found. The power supply fan comes on as well as the two (2) fans that cool the heatsink. The other two (2) fans on the expansion module side do not come on.
We just switched to a 5510 from a PIX 515 last evening, and the only things that are not working are any services from the outside to the inside. Example: I am unable to connect to a RDP server on the inside from the outside. I've been looking at the config for the past five hours, but am unable to see my mistake. Running 8.2(1) People on the inside are able to get out.
