Cisco Firewall :: ASA5540 Configured With Standby IP
Aug 6, 2012
I have this 2x ASA5540 firewall and notice the it is configured with a standby ip. The firewall is run in Active/Passive mode.However, the standby ip of this firewall is not point to the secondary firewall and vice versa for the primary firewall. [code]
1) May i know how is this configuration valid in the first place? I have checked through the configuration. None of the configuration is related to this ip address.
2) Can we remove this standby ip address on both the firewall and correct to the correct primary and seconadary ip address in both firewall?
3) We tried to use this ip address but cannot be used ? Is it related to the configuration of the standby ip address.Do note that the ping to this ip address x.x.x.120 is unreachable.

I have been asked to look at upgrading two 5520 ASA configured in a HA pair Active/Standby, from version 7.2(4) to version 8.3(1) to bring it in line with some other ASA firewalls in the organisation.
My question is can I simply upgrade straight from 7.2(4) to 8.3(1) or will I have to step the upgrade from 7.2(4) => 8.2(x) => 8.3(1)
Having read a few articles on the forums and the release notes I think I should be able to go from 7.2(4) => 8.3(1) .
The second part of my query is around the upgrade itself, having researched this a little there seems to be various views on how to go about upgrading a HA pair and I cannot find anything specific on the website.
The approach I am thinking of is simply as follows;
- upload images onto both firewalls in the HA pair
- On the standby from the CLI
clear configure boot
[Code].....

last night I started upgrading our ASA5520 active/standby cluster. Because of lack of memory, I stopped the upgrade process and will continue when the memory modules have arrived... Currently I'm running 8.0(5) on both nodes (Version: Ours 8.0(5), Mate 8.0(5))Whenever I use the "write standby" command on the active ASA, the passive ASA seems to drop it links for a short while.

I am configuring an ASA5540 firewall for a client, only difference to usual being that it is to run in Transparent mode. I have looked through for an EAL4 transparent firewall config guide but found nothing and therefore assumed that the usual one would be used.The clients security bod has now come back and insisted MAC filtering should be used but I can find no reference of this anywhere. Does MAC filtering is required to make a transparent box EAL4 compliant and if so where I can find documentation supporting this?

I had a working vpn configuration between a local and a remote router; the remote router is not under my administration.Now I moved the vpn termination from my side to an ASA5540 software version 8.0(3). The tunnel is up but there is no reachability. The "show crypto ipsec sa" on the ASA shows encapsulated packets but NO decapsulated packets! Routing and no_nat are properly configured.

I have an ASA- 5585X (v.8.2.4) directly connected to an upstream 6509, which is running EIGRP. I configured the ASA for EIGRP with same AS# and network numbers and no auto-summary. Here are the log messages I got:
Mar 8 15:11:08: %PIM-5-NBRCHG: neighbor 164.72.178.28 UP on interface Vlan150 (vrf default) Mar 8 15:11:08: %PIM-5-DRCHG: DR change from neighbor 0.0.0.0 to 164.72.178.28 on interface Vlan150 (vrf default)
Mar 8 15:11:11: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 1: Neighbor 164.72.178.28 (Vlan150) isup: new adjacencyMar 8 16:16:08: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 1: Neighbor 164.72.178.25 (Vlan150) isup: new adjacency
Mar 8 16:18:54: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 1: Neighbor 164.72.178.25 (Vlan150) is down: K-value mismatch
I lost my SSH connection to the upstream 6509 and couldn't get it back. Luckily I didn't lose my ASDM connection to the ASA, so I disabled EIGRP and went to look at the logs on the 6509.
What causes a K-value mismatch, and how to I rectify the situation?

i have two CAT3750 need to place in L3, and it supposed that used as L3 switches by SVI for L2 routing, and I want to these two configured as redundancy by HSRP. but now I can only have one ASA5540 to connects these of L3 switches.
so, here is my questions:
1. does ASA5540 support multi vlan?
2. does it support spanning tree protocol?
3. if I've choiced to use trunking between two L3 switches, does it can pass through HSRP hello msg?
4. achive network redundancy

Customer has a ASA5540 at their main location and need a new ASA5500 for a DR site.
Can I simply take a config file from an ASA5540 and easily drop it on an ASA5545-X or what ever?
They are going to be using it as a VPN concentrator primarily.
Or are there going to be issues since the 5540 is running 8.4(5) and the 5545-X? Or if they upgrade to 9,0(1) or higher, then they should be the same?

Windows IIS server configured behind a Cisco ASA 5540 listening on port 443 currently. Access-list and static translation configured. I have been ask to redirect all port 80 calls to port 443 for this web site only at the firewall. I have suggested moving it behind our content switch with negative results. Can we do this at the firewall level? how to accomplish the redirect for a single site. 8.2.4 is current code

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 have ASA 5540 with 8.2 SW. We are trying to download a file (3 MB pdf) from https session which fails if done behind the firewall. In case, the client bypasses firewall, the file gets downloaded as usuall. Interesting thing here to note is that when client is behind the firewall, its takes a long time to download the file and the file size always 312 Bytes, of course its a corrupt file.

I have requirement received from one of my customer. the part number given as ASA5540-AIP40-K8, same time requesting for addition of another 4Port GE Module (i believe its SSM-4GE Module). Is any option to add this module in to the above specified model (ASA5540-AIP40-K8).
As per my understanding the ASA5540 have the option to add 1 additional module only, so if we AIP-SSM module, we don't have any free slot left with to add another SSM-4GE Module in the firewall.
i am not getting even the option to add SSM-4GE in the ASA5540-AIP40-K8

I am migrating firewall fortinet to ASA5540 with inside (192.0.0.0/24), dmz (192.168.0.0/24), and outside (x.x.x.x), but the users of inside network gain access to the aplication for two ways: the first way is trough routing between inside and dmz, for example 192.0.0.200 to 192.168.0.20, and the another way is trough static nat between inside and dmz for example 192.0.0.200 to 192.0.0.20 (192.168.0.20 static nat). Is posible in Cisco configure that? because when i configure only firewall route the first way is OK, but when i add the second way only nat is work!

I have an inside network using PAT to one outside address. Our DNS server is on another local, but outside address. I can't get the inside network to successfully get addresses.I have another inside address that just uses the wirewall and gets addresses just fine from the same server.I have the box checked in ASDN that enables DHCP on the inside interface and points to the correct DHCP server,PAT service is working properly if I use a hard coded address for a machine on the inside network.This is an ASA5540 with 8.3(2)

I am attempting to FTP to a remote site through a IPSEC tunnel.When I am transfering large files the ASA5540 is showing syslog errors stating "connection timeout". What I think is happening is after about 1 hour the firewall is closing the connection control port for the FTP session and neither end is notified so eventually the transfer is stopped.What do I need to modify in the FW to accommodate these larger files?

I have a ASA5540 firewall set-up with an interface MTU of 1500.
I suspect that we are receiving packets with a larger MTU but have not found an easy way of confirming this. Any command that can be run on the firewall to display the MTU packet size being received on an interface?
We are also running Solar Winds so could query an OID if such a variable exists.

I am testing rogue on wire using 5508 WLC and , I have a dedicated AP configured as rogue detector and configured the switch port where the Rogue detector is connected as trunk. I have plugged in an autonomous AP with open authentication to the same switch so that it can act as a rogue. On the WLC, I can see that Autonomous AP as rogue on Wire. But along with that I am seeing another AP as rogue on wire, even though i have plugged in only one Autonomous AP to the switch.

I would like to work with two ASA's 5550 in HA (Acitve-Standby) like perimetral firewalls and also work with another ASA 5540 but like a SSL VPN Remote Access to end users.Which will be the best topology to this scenary?. Perhaps i need to put the ASA 5540 SSL VPN together with the ASA's in HA directly in a port.

I'm having an issue where when I upgrade from 8.2(5) to 8.4(2) on an active/passive asa 5585 running in transparent mode I can no longer reach the standby ip. The BVI interface appears to be created properly, the device IP and standby IP are listed in the config under the BVI interface and my inside and outside interfaces are both joined to BVI1-group.

I can no longer communicate with the standby IP address configured on the inside interface of a secondary ASA5510. Just a couple days ago I could snmp, http, ssh, and ping it.From the switch that is directly connected to the inside interface I'm getting unexpected results when viewing the the arp table. The switch is saying the IP address associated with the ASA's inside interface has mac address 0023.3353.bcc8 but the ASA is saying its inside interface mac address is 0023.33bb.8362?Furthermore when I issue the "sh mac address-table interface f5/46" command on the switch i see multiple macs on the interface that is connected to the inside interface of the ASA...

I have seen similar questions but with not a lot of answers for the ASA platform. As the title states, What procedures can I use to copy a pre-existing configured CISCO ASA 5520 to a brand new CISCO ASA 5520. I have found a URL that seems to answer some questions but not all. [URL]
The URL talks more about the PIX's than the ASA
Is there any documentation or shorter procedures for product specific on the 5520?
