Cisco Firewall :: ASA5510 Memory Upgrade 256MB To 1GB Fail?
Nov 7, 2011
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.

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 need to upgrade the flash memory of the ASA 5520 from 256Mb to 512Mb. As far as I realized the built-in flash memory called system compact flash and there is also an empty slot which it is possible to install a user flash.
What is the difference between user and system compact flash? and for upgrade can I just insert the user compact flash or do I need to upgrade the system compact flash? Where can I find the part number for each type?

We have a second ASA 5510 that is suppose to be a hot standby. I need to find out that, as a hot standby, does it have to have the same licenses as the ASA that it backs up. We purchased 50 SSL VPN licenses for that unit. If it fails over, we need to make sure the failover asa can allow SSL VPN connections.

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 and I am trying to set it up to be able to have it failover to the 2nd ISP connection if the 1st one ever went down. I think I need a nat statement that the "backup" connection will use when the 1st connection goes down, but I am unsure what the nat statement is supposed to be. I have added the commands that I am pretty sure that I need to add for the "backup" ISP connection. Attached are those commands, the interfaces that are set up, and the objects that are set up in the ASA.

When I try to save the configuration it displays the following error.Is it due to insufficient memory?
MPF-ASA#wr mem

I got an asa5510. After problems with ipsec connections the log said :
LU allocate xlate failed this error repeats every minute. At the cisco site i found the following :
explantion : stateful failover failed to allocate a translation (xlate) slot record recommended Action : check the available memory by using the show memory command to make sure that the security appliance had free memory in the system. If no memory is available, add more memory
But when i do there is free memory. (about 54%)
What can i do to fix this ?

I have two ASA5510 configured in an active/standby failover configuration. Everything is working well, but I would like to remove DMZ2 as it is no longer needed. On my DMZ2 interface, I have removed the security level and the IP address and shutdown the interface. However, when I do a "show failover" DMZ2 is still showing up. I would like to remove it completely so that failover isn't even "monitoring" this interface. What command am I missing or what do I need to do to completely remove this interface from this "show failover" listing? [code]

I am trying to get experience with 8.4 code on my 5505. I purchased a Cisco 512MB memory upgrade and installed it. It booted up once and I thought I was ok. I then looked down and noticed that all lights were blinking on the front panel and I had no console access.

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?

I 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?

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.

last night we tried to upgrade our cluster (2x ASA5520) from 8.0(4) to 8.2(3) and failed miserably.
1. Both units got the new image, but when we reloaded the secondary unit then we got the following strange message:
"Mate's license (10GE I/O Enabled) is not compatible with my license (10GE I/O Disabled). Fail over will be disabled."
After this message fail over was not there anymore and both units became active (!!!) which killed everything. Of course ASA5520 doesn't have 10GE and we have exactly the same units. What could be the problem here? Currently we run with a single unit with 8.2(3) and the secondary unit is switched off.
2. After the upgrade we cannot connect with multiple VPN sessions from the same client, this gets logged:
"Multiple sessions per tunnel are not supported"
This was working just fine with 8.0(4) and doesn't work with 8.2(3). Do we have to update something in the config or what is causing this? If you ask why we went with 8.2(3) instead of 8.2(5) then the answer is because we were testing that for several month in our secondary data center, but unfortunately only on a single ASA and not on a cluster. We couldn't go higher due to the 512MB RAM we have in all units.
And we had to upgrade, because we had crashes with 8.0(4) which was working fine for a long-long time.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Do I need to get MEM1800-128CF or I can use any compant flash card? 128MB is maximum I can install? (I saw 256MB flash on for C2801)
