View 1 RepliesMy little ASA 5505 is working great The device appears to be artificially crippled and limited to 10,000 connections. This isn't a "CPU limit" it's just some fake limit in the device as far as I can tell.
The problem we have is that we are only using around 500-600 connections and CPU usage is only like 25%, and yet the connection count is pegged at 10,000 and locks us out of our network.
I am pretty sure this is because there are a lot of "dead" TIME_WAIT connections hanging around not being used. In our application we only have the couple hundred connections but they do move around a bit every now and then.
Is there anyway to get the device to ignore the "dead" connections and not count them towards the artificial limit on the device given that it's pretty clear the CPU / etc., is not utilized sufficiently. These aren't real connections, we only have a couple 100 established, they do just move around a bit however.
We are really only using 500-700 connections according to our servers, the others are just sitting in TIME_WAIT doing nothing.
IOS Firewall (ZBF) Limit SMTP connections from same IP
we are running a Postfix MTA behind a IOS Firewall (ZBF) on a CISCO1921. Sometimes we get more than 2000 smtp login attemps like
postfix/smtpd[123456]: connect from (...) (...) postfix/smtpd[123456]: lost connection after AUTH from (...)
in one second. May be bruteforce or DoS ... nevertheless - we like to protect the Postfix MTA from this stuff.
Can we inspect the smtp and limit connections in a time period from the the same IP? Something like "not more than 10 smtp connections during 60 seconds from the same ip" .
i want to understand ASA 5520 ACL limitation as max ACEs . in FWSM case is following link "rule limits" section. [URL] but in ASA case, I cant find this information. where is this limitation in CCO?

BUt i want that a user vpn client to have:
Maximum connection time 30 min
Maximum idle time 15 min.
I have a 2621 router - old. but works well.Need to put in an ACL to limit the inbound SMTP traffic to be FROM a specific set of IP's, and deny all others.
I have tried various combinations with no luck. Something obvious, I am sure.
When I do a show access lists 160 it shows all SMTP traffic being snagged by the SMTP deny statement. All other traffic works correctly.
Here is my config so far...

I'm trying to limit one of my inside hosts, since it's been a little of a hog. I have 3Mb available from my ISP via 2x T1. I'm testing this on a computer in a lab:
PC 10.10.10.10------Cisco2960-------- 10.10.10.1 Inside - ASA - Outside 208.66.x.1------------------------208.66.x.2-Cisco 2811-2xT1
Here's what I've tried so far, please see text in red:
***global (outside) 1 208.66.x.115
***nat (inside) 0 access-list No-Nat
***nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
[Code].....
It didn't work... I was able to max the bandwidth again. I also tried to apply service-policy to inside int, which didn't make a difference.
I updated an ASA 5505 to 50 users, but I still can only connect 10 hosts. In Licensing it show 50 insides hosts. I also tried to update to ASA 8.4.5 but that did not work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to set a time limit for how long a client can be continously connected to the WLAN that provides my guest internet access. The user name/password is hosted on my ACS and authentication is provided by my Cisco NAC. I am using 5508 controllers (7.02) and WCS.
Somewhere in this combination of stuff, there has to be a way to set a two hour time limit.
I got my XPS L322X yesterday, and this problem occured from the first time I turned on my laptop. Everytime I turned on or restarted my computer, I could connect to my wifi router, and everything works well in the first 3-5 minutes. But later the wifi connection turned to "limit", and if I searched for the networks again, all wifi hotspots disappeared!
And if this problem popped up, there would be a follow-up problem -- I could not turn off my computer nor restart it! If I tried to restart the computer, it stayed on the "restarting" screen for 5 minutes, and a "power_start_up_failour" error warning later. If I then restarted the computer by pushing the power button for 5 seconds, it showed that the network adapter was disabled. Enableing the adapter would start this whole problem all over again!
The ASA5505 I am working with has this from the show version:
Licensed features for this platform:Maximum Physical Interfaces : 8VLANs : 3, DMZ Restricted Inside Hosts : 10Failover : Disabled VPN -DES : EnabledVPN-3DES-AES : Enabled VPN Peers : 10WebVPN Peers : 2Dual ISPs : Disabled VLAN Trunk Ports : 0
This platform has a Base license.
Does the Insides Hosts :10 line mean that only 10 devices can be connected to the firewall at one time? I would like to connect an AP to one of the PoE ports and have possibly more than 10 connected. Is this possible with this ASA5505?
RV082 - 1.3.2 I need to have RDP and pcAnywhere enabled to a customer site for remote support, but need to limit the incoming IP ranges to only our offices. I have the port forwarding set up and tested working. I then set up rules to deny all traffic on the needed ports and added rules to allow a few IP ranges from our office locations. I even tried a rule allowing all traffic from our main office but that also failed to allow RDP or pcAnywere connections.Now I can no longer connect from any of our remote offices. I followed the limited instructions that I found in another post but its not working.

In my case I want to limit the bandwidth to 31mbit/s up and down on the outside interface. but with my current configuration, just the download rate gets limited to 31mbit/s when I do a tptest. and the upload is around 40/50mbit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWorried about denial-of-service attacks. They have 11 vm's that share a connection and want to set it up so that there is a maximum amount of traffic allowed to hit each vm, so if there is a DDoS attack it will only affect that one VM instead of all the VM's on the same connection.
What is the best way to go about this from the ASA? This is behind a 5515 with asa code version 8.6. Is there a way to rate-limit by ip address?
On router Cisco 881 with ZBF I have dedicated VLAN for AP connection. AP is getting IP address from router dhcp server, I would like to limit all access to Router "Self" zone to only DHCP traffic if possible. How to limit all traffic except DHCP to self zone?What ever I do to traffic to/from self zone I must always specify last statement as "class class-default/inspect" and not drop as I would like to.

What I would like to do is be able to PING from the Inside interface 10.X.X.X to host 4.2.2.2 on the Outside, but thats it no other host would be PINGable.I tried MANY different access-list statements but the only way I can get icmp out and working is using the "fixup protocol icmp" but then everything is PINGable and the ASA does not block anything.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to determine whether Cisco has any equivalent (in any platform) to some of the existing firewall rules within our iptables infrastructure. [code] What this does, is allow port forwards on port 3389/rdp. However, if a single IP opens too many connections within a timeframe, it starts dropping new ones.This is a critical requirements for certain security scenarios, such as preventing RDP brute forcing. A similar principle can be applied to 22/ssh.I've had a look around, rate limiting searches generally land me on QoS based discussions. I've seen people ask similar questions and get referred to CBAC. Whilst I can see similarly worded functions there such as limiting "half open" connections, I don't see anything there that limits the actual number of connection attempts you can make.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe need to have one connection with less internet bandwidth assigned to it than all other other connections. Basically it is a separate conection from all others, incoming just from one switch port and separate VLAN.I know this can be done on the switch by limiting the bandwidth allocated to a port,
however, is it possible to have the speed limited down, just before it goes to the internet, ie, on the ASA, rather than doing it on the switch?The firewall is an ASA 5505.
We have Cisco ASA 5510, I am about to add another 2 Objectgroup network groups on the firewall to our already growing list. Under this Object-group Network xxxx , we are planning to add about about 500 network-object host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx . This objectgroup will then be applied to an ACL. Just wanted to know if thats possible - meaning addnig 500 hosts? If it is whats the limit?
Also are there any other things to keep in mind before i go-ahead with this huge object group?
In ASA 5510. How I can limit the users in (VLAN 20) to use the internet with a limited Bandwidth/speed with 3 mbps upload and 5 mbps download?
In case the outside interface (Native vlan) which is connected to the ISP and have a bandwidth/speed of 30 mbps upload and 50 mbps download.
I have an ASA which is managing internet access from mutiple VLANs configured on a 3560 switch. I want to be able to limit the 100MB internet connection on the ASA on a per subnet (VLAN) basis for the multiple subnets configured on the switch..
so for example
VLAN10 - 10.0.10.0 - limit to 5MB
VLAN20 - 10.0.20.0 - limit to 10MB
VLAN30 - 10.0.30.0 - limit to 3MB
I have two ASA5510-BUN-K9 Fws and I am planning to buy 2 x L-ASA5510-SEC-PL= to put them in HA.I was wondering if the support contract that I curently have for the two ASAs is still valid or do I have to buy any support upgrade?
View 1 Replies View Related We have an ASA 5525 running version 8.6(1)2 and a 10 MG pipe. I have execs that want to limit bandwidth on users for stuff like youtube, stream media, and downloads. I found the article on ‘Bandwidth Management(Rate Limit) Using QoS Policies’ so it appears our firewall can do what we want. I’m not a cisco person. My knowledge is limited when it comes to configuration – that’s why we have SmartNet.
Can bandwidth be limited on end users and/or can they limit the ‘bandwidth rate limit’ to just youtube, steaming media, and downloads? If so, what should the limit be? and I’m assume this would be for ‘incoming’ traffic only? we’re running into some bandwidth hogs – usually youtube and/or streaming media. We have a Barracuda web filter which we’ve used to block and monitor activity but I simply do not have time to babysit this all day. I should also mention we do have critical data running up and down the pipe; such as credit card processing, DB replication between in house DB and hosted website, TPCx and EDI, FTP, and such that we don’t want restricted.
After getting hacked I want to limit terminal server/ remote desktop to only my computer. (although I may need to let other net in later)
In other words I want only computers from my home ip range (lets say my ISP gives me at home something in 28.28.XX.0) to be let in to the router at work and then to port 3389.
In the work ASA 5505 softwareVersion 7.2(4) I now have:
access-list outside_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq 3389
static (inside, outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.1.2 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255
acces-group outside_in in interface outside
url...I discovered that it would be possible to be protected from portscan, i mean when someone scan our nework/host from outside, the attacker will see all the 65535 ports as "open" (in that way it will be more difficult for an attacker to perform customized attacks...)So I have follow the setup in that link: policy-map global_policy class class-defaults set connection embryonic-conn-max 15 per-client-embryonic-max 3 service-policy global_policy global . The problem is that I don't have the exepected result..If i do a portscan over Internet from an external host to my hosts the portscan is successfully working and I can view my open ports...I have also tried to set this through a "match" in an access-list but without any sucess.

I've recently installed a Cisco RV120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall. It's configured in DHCP Server Mode with printers/copiers that have static IPs below the DHCP range.
I'm having a problem with certain stations being used for personal networking, shopping, etc. during business hours. Consequently I would like to limit internet access on these stations. However, some internet access is required because of online database software that's an integral part of our business. I've been reading in the Administration Guide about URL Blocking. Would it be possible to give static IPs to certain stations and then limit their internet access to 1 or 2 specific websites?
FYI, I've read about the Trusted Domains and Blocked Keywords but cannot quite understand how to parley this into the solution I need.

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?
