Cisco Firewall :: ASA5580 - How To Configure Traffic Flow Idle Time-out With CSM
Feb 16, 2012
I am looking for the way to define an idle timeout for specific flows on an ASA5580 by using Cisco security manager. For ex I needed to define a specific idle timeout for connections beetween specific devices (Devices in vlan1, Device2 in vlan2).To test it I did following changes by CLI and it works fine. access-list L1 extended permit ip <@IP1> <mask1> host <@IP2> class-map CM1 match access-list L1 policy-map PM1 class CM1 set connection timeout idle 02:00:00
I try do do the same configuration with CSM in order to be able to manage each changes only by using CSM.So I defined Access control list, Traffic flow and then I define timeout in CSM --> PIX/ASA/FWSM Platform --> Service Policy Rules --> IPS, QoS and Connections Rules -> connections settings -> Traffic flow idle time-out. The problem is that each time I deploy the configuration with CSM I loose the timeout config line which is the most important for my application..
I have a CSS 11503 with a basic content rule for TCP 10000 going to a few backend servers. I was looking into the default timeout values for flows and when testing using telnet the flow didn't terminate as expected?
For example, i have no 'timeout multiplier' specified in the config and when i look at the output of 'show flow-timeout default' it tells me the default 16 seconds timeout is in effect for *. With that in mind, i telnet to the content rule vip on TCP 10000 and on the backend server using wireshark i can see the TCP threeway handshake. With no data passing i'd expect the CSS to terminate this flow after 16 seconds.. yet it takes exactly 128 seconds before wireshark shows the RST and the flow is terminated. 128 being 8 times the default 16 second flow timeout.
If i try to force the connection to close early by specifiying 'flow-timeout-multiplier 2' in the content rule, or even a multiplier of 40, it still waits 128 seconds to close the telnet connection.
How to configure traffic flow between computers inside VLANs and a routed port? Here is the setup details:
1. Switch 3750-X 2. VLAN 100 - ( SVI IP address 192.168.100.1 /24) 3. VLAN 200 - ( SVI IP address 192.168.200.1 /24) 4. routed port gi1/0/48 (IP address 192.168.150.1 /24). Note: this port is directly connected to a firewall ASA 5520 port IP 192.168.150.100 /24
Ip routing is enabled on the switch and inter vlan traffic is flowing ok. I can ping the routed port gi1/0/48 from any computer connected in the VLAN 100 or 200. For example computer with IP 192.168.100.25 can ping the routed port 192.168.150.1. Switch can ping firewall port 192.168.150.100 and the 'sh ip route' command shows the network 192.168.150.0 /24 as directly connected network.
any computer in the two VLANs CANNOT ping firewall ASA port 192.168.150.100 Is it because inter VLAN routing does not work with a routed port on L3 switch? I looked up fallback bridging, but it is meant for non IP traffic.The goal is I am trying to set the ASA port as an internet gateway for VLANs.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I can't seem to find a comforting answer: Assume you have three datacenters connected over a WAN. Each datacenter has its own Internet and firewall, and each firewall has a trusted network, untrusted network (Internet), and DMZ: [code]
-DMZhostA has inbound access from the Internet over port X. -DMZhostB has outbound access to DMZhostC over port Y. -DMZhostC has outbound access to the trusted network over port Z.
If DMZhostA gets compromised from the Internet, the attacker can indirectly access the trusted network through DMZhostC, assuming the services running on the given ports are vulnerable/poorly secured.How do you track this web of access? This is a simple scenario with just three firewalls and datacenters, but it gets proportionally more complex and harder to track as the network gets larger. Manually tracking the traffic flow seems tedious, slow, and inefficient.
I am fairly new to configuring ASA's. I have an ASA 5505 with one outside interface and three inside interfaces (inside1, inside2, and management). I need inside1 and inside2 to be able to talk to eachother but cannot work out how to make this happen. They are both configured to the same security level and the 'Enable traffic between interfaces with same security level' box is ticked. I have also tried adding appropriate NAT and Access rules. The packet tracer suggests the rules are correct for allowing traffic flow between interfaces but obviosly this may not be the case.
I am in search of a new routers. I don't have any special task to do. Just the flow of maximum 2mb/sec data and some times video conference. However I need the Voip solution as well. I just got excited on the cisco ASA 5505 product. Can this fulfill my requirements. Can this work as the router 1841. Does this support DMVPN, SSL VPN and dynamic routing. Can I upgrade the IOS for dynamic routing purpose. Do you recommend to purchase this produe act or not instead of router ? What are the limitations of this product. If I purchase this I can use this as an router as well as strong security solution. How many ports are available for traffic flow in ASA 5505. Are all routed mode or some of them switch port.
We are using the cisco sa540 router and shrew VPN to connect to our buiness network, mostly to connect to the workstations with RDP. Now we wonder if it posible that the connection will disconnect automaticly after an idle time of for example 30 minutes. And if so, how can i configure it?
Is it possible to rename the default webauthentication URL from [URL] to something like [URL]. We are running on 7.0.98.0, is it possible to do http for web authentication and https for Mgmt access if we upgrade the controller software?
We configured our guest wireless with no layer 2 authetication so users can associate with an AP and get an ip adress but they can't go anywhere unless they have a valid username and password(web authentication) - does this affect the performance of an AP since there will be many people associated with each AP, is there any setting in the WLC to de associate a client from an AP if its idle for certain time.
I have set up 2 RV110w firewall/vpn/routers at remote locations and an ipsec tunnel between them. Once the tunnel gets established everything works fine until it has been idle for some arbitrary amount of time. (Maybe a half hour or less.) at which point we lose server access and can no longer ping across the tunnel. To fix this I have had to dissconnect and reopen the tunnel again, I even went so far as to install an autopinger on the remote end to keep traffic on the tunnel which seems to work but is not going to be a viable long term solution.
I am trying to pass Traffic thru the IPSEC tunnel but it does not work ([Cisco Router 892] <---> [Cisco ASA 5510] <---> [Cisco Router 892]) The Cisco ASA 5510 doesn't pass traffic UDP=500 & UDP=4500 ports...
My question is pretty straight forward but here is some background information. I would like my browsing traffic to funnel through my phone's 3G or WiFi connection. Is there any information out there on how to direct the browser to use the second internet connection? I was thinking about setting up a VPN using the second nic and somehow instruct the browser to use the specific proxy. I have no idea if that is even possible though.
The need for this is pretty simple. I do not want my browsing habits being logged by my company's network. Also while maintaining the current corporate connection so Outlook and RDP programs continue to function correctly.
I have a 7204VXR Router, with Neflow. The collection for all interfaces is ok, but one interface (Gigabitethernet 1/0), is not showing the egress traffic in the pictures. The configuration has "ip route-cache flow", ip flow egress, and ip flow ingress set. But, is not showing the egress traffic.
We are facing one issue at the Customer site as Cisco 7600 series Router's having issue for reflection of traffic flow through netfluke as using by Customer to get bandwidth utilization report for our WAN links.Recently we have brought this 7606S router into production and moved some of our WAN links to this router and We are not getting proper bandwidth utilization report in netfluke after configuring netflow in this device.

We have a Cisco ASA 5520 and im looking for a way to monitor largest outgoing and incoming traffic per ip in real time so to know which of my internal computers are using the most of our Internet Line. Is there a way to this through ADSM ? We use version 6.3.
Anyway, here's the situation I'm trying to configure several VLANs on my ASA to uniquely allocate to contexts, the VLANs will be trunked from my VSS. Unfortunately I'm not clear on how to achieve this, the configuration guide for 8.4 talks about multiple contexts and routed setups all which don't appear to apply exactly. I've configured the port channel at both ends and I've configured sub-interfaces on the port channel and assigned VLAN IDs. These sub-interfaces are then allocated to the contexts to set 'ip address' etc. I've not been able to successfully test this configuration and I am concerned that it is incorrect..
I am having issues with PXE boot images for PCs cannot be loaded from remotely.The diagnosis revealed that SunRPC & TFTP were being inspected by ASA causing drop of packets.So I excluded these two inspections for the particular server behind the firewall. It seem to resolve the issue for instance but it crawled back again.
Is there a way that the inspection can be turned off for that particular server at the IP level?
how to configure WRT54GC compact Router if the data should be configured to flow from PC1 through Switch to Router and then to PC2 back through Switch in the following configuration?
That's, the data flow is PC1 -> SW -> Router -> SW -> PC2. I think that Router has to have both routing of 10.14.40.1 & 10.14.50.1, but how should I configure the router?
I'm receiving multicast traffic (400Mbps) on port 9/38 and sending it out on port gi9/48. I'm trying to achieve that traffic will stay within the card without using the switchfabric,
We have an active-active pair of cisco ASA5580-20 with software version 8.4(1)9. There are 8 contexts on it (including admin and system). 1 context is active on Primary node and other 7 are active on Secondary node. User traffic is going through this 1 context (2 interfaces - inside to users, outside to internet) and there are peaks to 1.16M concurrent connections, max bandwidth is 1.25Gbps. CPU usage for this context in peak hours is 63%, but we noticed that when we run "show cpu usage context all" from system it shows that system context is using 25% of CPU and "Total CPU utilization" (form output of show cpu detailed - on system context) is 88% which is bad. In non peak hours - user context use 33.6% CPU, system use 14.5%, total CPU usage is 50.5% So, is it normal this cpu utilization on system context (system on Primary node)?
Running ASDM V6.3 connecting to a couple of ASA5580's V8.2. After initial configuration everything seemed to work great, however, as of a few days ago I can no longer view statistical information. I can attach to the devices without a problem, view and edit all configuration information but the dashboard applets do not pull or display any statistical info. Resource, Interface, and Traffic status all time out with the error "Lost Connetion to Firewall". The syslog info is not display rather the error "Syslog Lost Connection". My first thought was a java issue on the client. I have ripped out and reinstalled even back-revisioned to no avail. I'm to the point where a dumpe of the management workstation is the next step. I'd like to avoid that extreme if possible.
We have been deploying Cisco SF200-24P switches for our systems for over a year now. They connect to a Cisco 881 router. In many cases we are also deploying Cisco AP541s.Over the last few months, on an intermittent basis, the switches will simply freeze, blocking all traffic flow. The power LED also goes dark. It appears the switch has frozen. The only thing that seems to revive the switch is a hard reboot by pulling the power cord. In the last couple of weeks, one site in particular has gone down a handful of times. That client of our is fed up. Our patience is running thin too.
I cannot see any indications in the logs to any event that might give a clue as to the problem. We definitely see this problem with the 1.2.7.76 firmware and the 1.2.9.44 (latest as of typing this). Not sure if with earlier 1.1.2 firmware.Without a fix, we likely will have to change switches and possibly vendors as we need a reliable switch.I see some vague references to a similar problem. And one reference to a SG300 series having what sounds like the same issue.
We have a pair of 6509 working in a VSS configuration (IOS 12.2(33)SX5). The 6509s connect to a pair of ASAs (7.2 code) running in an Active/Standby setup. These ASAs in turn connect to routers going to remote sites. I have configured Netflow on the following VLANS,
VLAN 10 - Servers Vlan VLAN 9 - Transit/ASA VLAN (connects ASAs to 6509s). All traffic originating from any VLAN on the 6509 crosses this VLAN in order to reach remote sites and vice versa
I configured the netflow source VLAN 11 although I am not collecing any netflow from it.Although I have been getting lots of Netflow info, I noticed that netflow for traffic originating from any user VLAN on the 6509s going to any remote site via TRANSIT/ASA VLAN(9) does not get reported, I even tested with 4 GB traffic but no result. Only reverse traffic (i.e. from remote site to user VLAN) is reported as it traverses the Transit VLAN (9).
I read somewhere that egress netflow is not supported in 6500, but isnt traffic originating from a user vlan to a remote site via the transit VLAN (9) considered ingress with respect to the transit VLAN (9)? I would like to know whether bidirectional Netflow is supported on 6500 VLANS. I have mimimum control on routers beyond the ASAs, and since these ASAs run 7.2 code netflow is not supported, and Monitoring this Transit Vlan gives me extremely useful info.
I do get netflow biderectional traffic from the Server Vlan 10, but I think it is correlated by the netflow collector from vlans 9 and 10. [code]
I've been digging into some performance issues on a LAN that has a couple of 2960s. The monitoring software I'm using has indicated a high amount of discarded outbound packets (up to 5%). The suggested resolutions were to enable flow control.
My question is does enabling flow control on all ports interrupt network traffic at all? this is a production network so I had already planned on doing it during off hours but also wanted to know if I should be prepared for any significant drop in traffic.
I want to see net flow data.I have configured this command on the c6500.but I can to see data only below...How can I configration ip cache flow on the C6500? what is the problem?

I am trying to configure my ASA 7.2(4) to inspect SCCP traffic from a CUCM v7.I have been advised that the ASA device needs to support the version of Skinny I am running.What version of Skinny does ASA 7.2(4) support? How can I find out what version my phones are using?
I am wondering if this is possible. We have multiple internet connections with fixed IP's coming into the office. We'd like to use one for FTP backup and another to service our websites. From what i have read a 5510 doesn't do policy based routing, but we'd like to configure our ftp server to use one of the internet pipes and our webserver to use another internet pipe. Is that possible?
We'd have two outside fixed IP interfaces and two internal interfaces. I could then use one of the internal interfaces for the web server and the other for the FTP server. consequently if the internal web server and FTP server use the fixed IP"s corresponding DNS server wouldn't that effectively route all FTP traffic out one interface and all web traffic out the other?
Then the FTP traffic would be NAT'ed to an internal interface and the HTTP & HTTPS traffic would be NAT'ed to a separate internal interface.
Then if each of the internal servers used the corresponding internal NIC on the ASA as it's gateway and the fixed IP's that correspond to the external DNS server, then it would affectively only use that gatway out for traffic? Would that work? Does it should route traffic out those pipes correct? Will the asa support two different next hop routers for the two different interfaces?
I have a an ASA 5520 connected to a Layer 3 (3750) switch (Inside) and a connection to a 2960 switch (Outside) to get to the internet. . I have created vlan interfaces on the 3750 switch and enabled ip routing on the switch to enable the vlans to communicate with each other.
Vlan Interfaces on the switch: Vlan 100 172.17.1 Vlan 200 172.18.1 Vlan 300 192.168.3.1
I want the devices connected to the 3 vlans to be able to pass through the firewall and get out to the internet.I have connected the ASA to the 3750 by routed interfaces (10.10.10.1) --------- (10.10.10.2) and they are able to ping each other.I have also put a default route on the 3750 sending all traffic from the switch to the ASA inside interface (10.10.10.1)The issue that i am having is that the ASA also connects to a 2960 which has a connection to the Internet, and they are handing off an ethernet connection from the 2960 that sits in VLAN 55 (Vlan 55 is the Internet accessible vlan).How do I configure my ASA to send all traffic from my (3) vlans to the interfaces that connects to the 2960 switch?
We have configured ASA 5510. We have configure Ethernet 0/0 ( Outside ) connected with ADSL line and Ethernet 0/1 ( Inside ) Local LAN. we have configured NAT and all the traffic is passing through outside interface. Now we have connected ethernet 0/3 ( leasedline ) interface with static public IP. Now we want to allow SMTP traffic to pass through from this interface.
How to configure it if we want our local lan SMTP traffic sending through new leased line ( Static Public IP ).
