View 1 Repliesin Cisco ASA 5540 Adaptive Security Appliance Platform Capabilities and Capacities, I see Concurrent Sessions: 400,000. Which mean what device can handle 400,000 session and no more. But if I'm using TCP State Bypass Feature (Inbound traffic pass via ASA but Outbound goes via different device). I can see such connections via show conn command with b flag.
My questions: 1. Will this limit (Concurrent Session) affect in this case? Or ASA can handle more such connections (for example 800,000 ...) in bypass state? 2. It's possible to tune timeout for such connection without using global timeout conn? My problem what I want to do by pass tcp connection for one IP with has very high connection/sec rate.
How many concurrent SIP channels should I expect to be able to make through a PIX firewall? We currently have a PIX 515 with the SIP fixup enabled.it worked fine for a low volume of traffic, but once we got to around 400-500 concurrent SIP calls the PIX started to struggle. Calls were dropping and other Internet traffic was intermittent. When I decreased the call volume it recovered and everything returned to normal.Bandwidth wise, we were only using about 20MB, so I think that as it needs to inspect and remember SIP packets for the purposes of opening RTP ports, we probably hit a bottleneck in terms of either the PIX's CPU or memory capacity. I've not seen any specs detailing how many SIP fixups a PIX (of any capacity) is able to handle.I'm thinking of upgrading to a PIX 525 or PIX 535, but I'd like to know how many SIP calls they will be able to handle before committing.

Our current cable ISP is having issues providing us with consistant connectivity. I would like to bring in a second ISP to allow my users to choose where they will connect to. There will be two dns names and i just want to to be able to choose between them.
Is this possible on the ASA5505? supporting two ISPs at one time for VPN on both?
We're getting "Connaction Timeout / Connection Failure" error messages several time per day. Here is our setup:
Verizon FiOS Internet (ONT Box) --> Cisco ASA 5505 --> EdgeMarc 4500 Router --> Cisco 300-24G Switch --> Dell PE1950 Servers
From past few months, we keep getting Connection Timeout and Connection Failure error messages in our vendor application which connects to SQL Server 2005. Also Terminal Server 2003 keep disconnecting for every few hours.After several days of troubleshooting, we come to know that this Cisco ASA 5500 is not working properly. When I access the ASDM, it shows several warning messages.I know there is a setting option to configure TimeOut, but is there anyway to test and track the ASA 5500 regarding this Timeout issues?
I'm working on a problem at the moment where I have 2 Internet connections each with their own Interface on an ASA running 8.2(5). What I want to be able to do is host different web sites on each ISP's ranges but I'm banging my head against a wall at the moment trying to either get the routing or NATing to work in a satisfactory way.
The default route is via one of these Internet connections and obviously the website hosted on this Interface is working fine.
To get another website hosted on the other ISP or interface - traffic is getting blackholed as it is being routed in the 2nd ISP interface and then trying to be routed back out the 1st ISP interface.
I thoguht I could overcome this using Policy Based Routing but ASA does not support this. I'm also aware that I can overcome this problem by upgrading the ASA code to 8.3 or 8.4 where the NAT will overide the Routing table
I'm vaguely thinking that there might be a way to overcome this using clever NAT but not been able to figure it out yet. A lot of other Forum posts have sugested that you can use Policy NAT (either Static or Dynamic) or a Dynamic NAT to get the second NAT working and overcome this routing problem but all of these options seem to define a specific source where I need to allow ANY Source on either connection. (Connections inbound to the webservers originating from anywhere on the Internet).
I toyed with the idea of Source NAT'ing traffic coming in on the 2nd ISP connection so that it would appear to originate from an IP in the same network. This would overcome the routing problem but not ideal as WebServer logs would see all connections originating from this IP as opposed to the real IP on the Internet.
My current (relevant) congfiguration looks something like this:
static (DMZ, EXTERNAL_ISP1) 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (DMZ, EXTERNAL_ISP2) 172.16.100.2 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255
!
route EXTERNAL_ISP1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 1
I would have thought that this is a fairly simple task to achieve but it seems not (at least not on ASA 8.2). I have attached a rough VSD to illustrate what I mean.
I have a firewall behind 2 routers and 1 modem. I set the vpn up in the firewall and not getting a connection. Do I need to set something up in the 2 routers and modem for it to work?

I have connected my stations to an ESW540 inside of the Int Eth0/1 and am able to get ip addresses to the stations as well as DNS addresses. I cannot however connect to the outside connection in any way. From a computer connected to the ESW540 with a DHCP assigned IP address, I can ping the computer's IP, the ESW540's IP, and even 192.168.15.1. But I cannot ping the ip address from the Int Eth0/0, nor anything beyond 192.168.15.1.
From inside of the console of the ASA, I can ping all addresses of all ports as well as devices outside of the building and inside of ESW540.
What would be the equivalent of the below static translation below which limit the connection to 100 and embroynic to 50 in ASA 8.3 above.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Cisco 1841 serving as a connection between my ISP and my Firewall (non Cisco).
I seem to be having performance issues with my traffic going through the Router.HTTP (web browsing) is fine andI get my download rate as I would expect for a 10mbps connection.But anything to do with my VPNs I find a delay when sending via the 1841.(all my VPNs are managed by my Firewall and I have never had problems with those).
I also have a legacy ADSL connection to my firewall, which bypasses the 1841 and I am having no issues on that at all.If anything it is quicker! Which is madness as my Fibre should out-perform it easily.This leads me to believe the issue is not with the Firewall.
My 1841 is very simply setup, 2 fa interfaces with simply a default gateway setup within it.Which leads me to ask if I need more static routes in or a dynamic route protocol setup?
I've been having a major problem with our Internet service. Our ISP insists it's the firewall.
I'm not a Pix expert by any means, but here's what's happening:
- Our Internet service drops.
- When this happens I try to ping the PIX on the inside interface and it times out.
- Our Internet service comes back up and I am able to ping the Pix.
- I connect to the Pix and issue a SHOW INTERFACE command to look for errors. I FIND NONE.

I recently had a firewall that wasn't passing traffic (ASA 5510 running software version 9.1).It turned out it had 130000 active connections. Doing a "clear conn port 53" dropped the active connection count back to 38k, and the firewall started passing traffic again.

This ASA 5520 firewall is only one firewall in a path to the remote webservice.

My firewalls are running in multiple context mode.According to my troubleshooting, the problem happens because of the following things:
1- The host 10.15.5.100 do a telnet to 10.0.6.100 using the default gateway that is the context firewall C2;
2- The packet go to the C2 and is forward through the interface e0/0 (direct connected);
3- The packet is delivered direct to the host,without passthrough the context firewall C1;
4- The host receive the packet and return the answer to the source host 10.15.5.10 using the default gateway 10.0.1.10;
5- The packet is received by the context firewall C1 and is dropped with the reason Deny TCP (no connection) syn ack;
I think the the problem is on step 4, the context C1 receive a packet that didn't pass by it before. Am I right?
We recently replaced our Cisco 5510 with a 5520. I had the SSL Client VPN working on the 5510, I cannot get it working on the 5520. The IOS version is 8.2(5) and the ASDM version is 6.4.I run through the SSL Client wizard and get everything set up. When I try to get to my outside interface Internet Explorer just comes up with an error. When I try to connect through the Cisco AnyConnect client on my Android it used to come up with a "No address available for SVC connection". After deleting an address pool not even related to my SSL VPN profile I cannot get that far. I just get a "login failed". Even after I create a user with level 15 privilege and assign to my vpn group policy.I still get the "No address available for SVC connection" when I try to connect to the default profile, which doesn't really go anywhere.

I have a monitoring rule that checks the number of connections on the firewall using the following command: show conn count
My results are always between 3,000 and 9,000.A while back, I had an issue where all 130,000 connections were being used up. I configured a service policy to limit the number of connections between any two end points.
I'm monitoring the error logs and I'm noticing that my connection limit rule is being triggered on a regular basis. I receive the following message.Per-client connection limit exceeded 20000/20000 for output packet from x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x on interface outside
I'm confused as to the difference between the connections limited by my rule and the connections shown by "show conn count". why I never see any connections higher than 9,000 using "show conn count" yet I am seeing alerts stating that the firewall has reached 20000 connections?My firewall is an ASA5510 running.
We recently got a 10 meg dedicated internet fiber connection installed. I connected it to a PIX 501 firewall and everything worked fine (I tested it for a couple of weeks). A couple of days ago I got a new ASA 5505 and replaced the PIX with this device. It works, but every so often there seems to be a timeout when surfing the web whereby I click on a link and there is up to a 45 second wait and then the page loads quickly. I was not getting this before on the PIX so I'm assuming it's not a latency issue with the connection. I am the only one using this connection on the network so it's not to say that it's being bogged down. I want to roll this out to the other users on the network but not when this is happening. The configuration is below:

I am not able to access the device via SSH .After connecting to teh console I have found that allowed SSh session are fully utilized with show resource usage command and the output is [code]
So I used show ssh session command to see who is using the sessions but in the output it has showed only one session and the output was [code]
I was wondering why it shows only one session above instead of showing all the 5 sessions which are utilized as confirmed by show resource usge command.We are usning some internal tool for ssh monitoring on device which is poling the device after a fixed interval for port 22 reachabilty .I dont think these tools are making any issue as this is secondary firewall and we are not facing any reachabilty issue for primary firewall.also we are using 10 min for idle ssh timeout.
I am facing problem in implementing NAT on Cisco 8.4 . the scenario is
Inside interface network 10.10.10.0/24 and 10.118.0.0/16 is also routed towards inside network
Other network 192.168.10.0/24 is routed via outside interface.
My requirement is to NAT the 192.168.10.2(real IP) to 10.10.10.2(mapped ip) so that when users from inside network (10.118.0.0/16) will come they will access the 10.10.10.2 instead of the real Ip(192.168.10.2)
So I used nat (inside,Extra net) source static obj-10.118.0.0 obj-10.118.0.0 destination static obj-10.10.10.2 obj-192.168.10.2 but the connection is not working but with show nat I am getting hits on the NAT statement.

I configured multiple vlan on my Cisco ASA5520. Everything work perfectly except RDP (3389) connections. The connections are established but but after a period of inactivity, the user is disconnected from server (black screen). The same problem happens with other type of connections (client/server), exemple : Oracle, file sharing. Before installing the ASA, computers and servers were in the same vlan and it worked well.
There's a notion of inter vlan timeout connection ?

I have this box. I have few questions about it.
1) Will I be able to update firmware (from 8.2 to 8.3 or higher for example) without smarnet for ASA 5510? And what can not I do without smartnet?
2) I have only AIP-SSM-10 module to this asa 5510. is there a smartnet for it, too? And when I buy only module is there build in a 1 year subscription for IPS signatures?
3) If I have Cisco ASA 5510 base license, will my IPS on AIP-SSM-10 work?
4) Also I'm planning in a year buy one more 5510 with same module and put ther in failover. Will I really need Security Plus license for failover (Active/Standby)? For Active/Active I know that I need one, yes?

I am having a problem with a ASA 5505. The users on the inside cannot access internet for the most of the time. When i looked over the configuration and tried a few changes i got out to internet about 5 seconds every 30 minute or so. Very strange. When i try to access internet i just get the windows post that DNS is not working properly. As you can see in my config i get all addresses dynamic from ISP.
I am not sure what to do next, i tried to set static routes, make Nat changes, static dns addresses, searching this forum but nothing works. It seems like there is a ISP problem but i have talked to the support twice today and they say that all is fine from their side. Does ASA behave like this?
