I am currently working with ASA 5585 with several contexts. What is the percentage of the CPU used per context. I already have the opportunity to do it for the whole ASA (context admin) using the SNMP mib CISCO-PROCES but, unfortunalty, this mib doesn't allow us to know the percentage of used CPU per context.
I was able to know the number of core used per context but not the percentage of the CPU used.
I am looking to deploy a cloud/borderless network solution and cannot get my head around how the licenses (AnyConnect Mobile and essentials) will be applied in a multiple context deployment. Any correct documentation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an ASA 5585 in transparent mode, multi-context. It seems that the option to configure a BVI in one of the traffic contexts isn't there. In other words, while I see the option to configure a bridge group interface in the admin context, no such option comes up in the traffic context.
[CODE]....
Is it possible to have context in transperant mode and routed mode. Means if i need three context then 2 of them is in routed mode and one of them is in transperant mode. If yes then how, i can 't find this info in cisco website.?I am havin 5585-x and asa version 8.4?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a new pair of ASA 5585's in a multi-context, active/active failover design. I cannot create management SSH connection to the contexts that are assigned to failover group 2. With all the security contexts that are assigned to failover group 1 I can SSH to the inside interface IP and login without a problem. When I try to do that to the group 2 contexts there is no response from the firewall at all, PuTTY just times out.
My firewalls are running version 8.2(4). The contexts seem to be functioning normally in all other respects.
I prepare replace FWSM to ASA 5585 Series,but I confuse the default virtual context counts on ASA 5585.I used 3 virtual contexts on my old FWSM(1 admin context with 2 contexts).According the ASA configuration guide below. url...
It state the ASA 5585 have default 2 contexts,Does it state the ASA 5585 just have 2 contexts or 1 admin context plus "2" context (3 contexts available)
On my production environment I have a firewall with already two contexts defined (15% of CPU used) and I want to add a new one.
This context is going to use the same interfaces as the others contexts. When I will enable the context, can I have some sort of repercussion on these two context ?
I have two ASA 5510 in an Active/Active failover configuration; On the first ASA I have a license for five security contexts, on the second one I have the default two. On the pair I configured seven security contexts and everything works as expected; so far so good. Let's suppose now that the first ASA (the one with the license for 5 contexts) goes up in smoke; all the contexts migrate to the surviving firewall and life is still good. But what happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot the second ASA before the first one is repaired? My guess is that it will come up with just its own license for two contexts and that I will not be able to operate all my virtual firewalls.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question with regard to setting up the ID firewall on the ASA 5585 in a single forest, multiple domain windows network.Currently I have a semi-operational IDF at the top level but can't find users on the lower other domains, here is the setup:I have 3 domains.
[URL]
Both domains have a two way parent-child trust and I can look for users in AD Users/Computer on both domains. I initially setup the ASA to look at domain1.test.com using an LDAP aaa-server per the IDF instructions, and then proceeded to configure the ad-agent. I installed the adagent on the domain1.test.com domain controller configured the settings on that system and had no problem adding users to the firewall and getting functionality within domain1. I looked to see if I could see domain 2 and domain 3 users and found none. I went ahead and added the domain2 system to the adagent on the DC and the system says that it is up, but when I search for users is not pulling them from domain2. Instead, it shows domain1 users as domain2user1. I also configured another adserver in the ASA to search ldap on domain 2 to no avail.The cisco documentation states the following:•Before you configure even a single domain controller machine using the adacfg dc create command, ensure that the AD Agent machine is first joined to a domain (for example, domain J) that has a trust relationship with each and every domain (for example, domain D[i]) that it will monitor for user authentications (through the domain controller machines that you will be configuring on the AD Agent machine). Single Forest, Multiple Domains—All the domains in a single forest already have an inherent two-way trust relationship with each other. Thus, the AD Agent must first be joined to one of the domains, J, in this forest, with this domain J not necessarily being identical to any of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines. Because of the inherent trust relationship between domain J and each of the domains D[i], there is no need to explicitly configure any trust relationships.Reading that it sounds like it should just work. I had everything properly configured before I installed the adagent, but I'm guessing that there is a chance that you can't have the adagent on the top level DC and get to communicate with the lower level domains.
Is it possible to use 1 or 2 of the 4 gigabit ethernet ports from one ACE straight into the other ACE for redundancy? So ACE_01 gig0/4 to ACE_02 gig0/4.If so, is it a case of just having the layer 3 config instead of trunking etc..Also - is it possible to create a context within the same vlan as the Admin context?

View 4 Replies View RelatedASA design. I have two Cisco ASA 5585 which are connecting to two Nexus 7K. I looked at one design and it seems I can make Redundant interfaces on ASA and put two physical interfaces (Link1-1/1-2) into it however the down side I can see is it will utilize one link out of 4 at one time. As per my understanding if I make redundant interface on ASA 1 and put 1-1/1-2 into it only one link would be active at one time. This will force Nexus2 to send all traffic to Nexus 1 in order to reach ASA. Ideally I want a solution where both switches could send traffic straight to Active Firewall and incase of failure both links to standby firewall.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have deployed a few ASA 5585 SSP40 in our data centers to seperate different customer/security zones connected with 10Gig interfaces. Currently we have a dedicated log server attached to each ASA connected with a p2p 10Gig interface. While detailed log information is considered important I somehow have the gut feeling all this high end equipment and bandwidth is used a little too wasteful. I have little experience with these big firewalls and I have not yet seen the equipment in an attack situation, however I doubt a firewall could ever generate 10gig of log data, while doing the primary fire walling job at the same time. Looking at the typical packet size of a syslog message I don't even believe a 1 gig link could ever be saturated with pure syslog messages.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a firewall service environment where logging is handled with UDP at the moment. Recently we have noticed that some messages get lost on the way to the server (Since the server doesn't seem to be under huge stress from syslog traffic). We decided to try sending the syslog via TCP. You can imagine my surprise when I enabled the "logging host <interface name> <server ip> tcp/1470" on an ASA Security context and find out that all the connections through that firewall are now being blocked. Granted, I could have checked the command reference for this specific command but I never even thought of the possibility of a logging command being able to stop all traffic on a firewall.
The TCP syslog connection failing was caused by a mismatched TCP port on the server which got corrected quickly. Even though I could now view log messages from the firewall in question in real time, the only message logged was the blocking of new connections with the following syslog message: "%ASA-3-201008: Disallowing new connections."
Here start my questions:
- New connections are supposed to be blocked when the the TCP Syslog server are not reachable. How is it possible that I am seeing the TCP syslog sent to the server and the ASA Security Context is still blocking the traffic?
- I configured the "logging permit-host down" after I found the command and it supposedly should prevent the above problem/situation from happening. Yet after issuing this command on the Security Context in question, connections were still being blocked with the same syslog message. Why is this?
- Eventually I changed the logging back to UDP. This yet again caused no change to the situation. All the customer connections were still being blocked. Why is this?
- After all the above I removed all possible logging configurations from the Security Context. This had absolutely no effect on the situation either.
- As a last measure I changed to the system context of the ASA and totally removed the syslog interface from the Security Context. This also had absolutely no effect on the situation.
At the end I was forced to save the configuration on the ASAs Flash -memory, remove the Security Context, create the SC again, attach the interfaces again and load the configuration from the flash into the Security Context. This in the end corrected the problem. Seems to me this is some sort of bug since the syslog server was receiving the syslog messages from the SC but the ASA was still blocking all new connections. Even the command "logging permit-host down" command didn't wor or changing back to UDP.
It seems the Security Context in question just simply got stuck and continued blocking all connections even though in the end it didn't have ANY logging configurations on. Seems to me that this is quite a risky configuration if you are possibly facing cutting all traffic for hundreds of customers when the syslog connection is lost or the above situation happens and isn't corrected by any of the above measures we took (like the command "logging permit-host down" which is supposed to avoid this situation altogether).
We are deploying the Cisco ASA 5585 in transparent mode with multiple contexts, the port-channel was configured to connect to the core switches using dot1q trunk. We are experiencing an issue which is the core switches are configured loop guard globally, therefore the port-channel connected to the firewalls will be put into inconsistent state when the failover happen, and the two firewalls' failover can not fulfill the failover at last.
I have two queries below:
1. Does the firewall allow the BPDU passing through when it is in standby mode, for example, secondary firewall is active for group 2 and standby for group 1. does the secondary firewall block the BPDU from the vlans under group1 ?
2. Can we disable the loop guard feature on the switch port-channel or is there any other way to solve this issue ?
