I got PIX 525 with failover. Due to power issue one Unit was offline for a while. During this time couple of changes was done on the Firewall.
Which Unit becomes active when I plug the Firewall unit which was offline for a while now. Each Unit has 4 Ethernet Connection
E 0/0 - connects ISP Router
E 0/1 - connects to Lan switch
E 1/0 - connects to DMZ port
E 2/0 - connects to failover unit PIX
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 in our office. We are currently using Interface 0 for outside and 1 for inside. We only have 1 Vlan in our environment. We have two three switches behind the firewall. Today the uplink to Interface 1, to the firewall, on the switch went bad. I want to setup a second inside interface on the firewall and configure it as failover incase this happens again. I want to attach it to the other switch. Can I do this? If so, what do I need to do? would it only be a passive/standby interface?

For example ASA1 outside interface connects to an upstream switch and you setup sla monitor with icmp echo to ping that switch. The switch goes down and you need the other ASA2 to become the Active ASA. Can the sla monitor be automatically integrated with the failover commands for this to happen?
I have a ASA 5505 which is connected to a remote site which also has a ASA 5505 over a L2L VPN tunel. One of the sites has a WAN failover configured with two ISP which is working successfully.
But, when the WAN connection fails over to the backup connection the VPN link breaks as the peer site IP address has changed and the VPN can not establish a connection.
Would it be possible to configure a VPN failover so that when the connection failovers so will the VPN tunnel?
There are 2x Cisco ASA 5505 in an active/standby failover config. The primary asa 5505 has been reset and the secondary is now running as active. I would like to reintroduce the primary again but need to know how to do this.
Ideally I would like to remove the failover config and start from scratch. Do I just need to enter the following to disable failover on the active secondary box?
no failover
no failover lan unit secondary

View 3 Replies View RelatedConfigured ASA 5510 ISP failover and working fine.My ASA as configured as DHCP server also. So its serves IP addressing details including mask,default-gateway, DNS server IPs.Here my issue is whenever my ISP failover occurs my ASA sends previous ISP DNS server IPs to my inside clients.
Here i like to configure my ASA to serve IP addresses dynamically.Or is there any global DNS IP addresses which will work for all ISPs?
So we currently have a T1 connection at our location. We were looking to add a high speed cable internet and add an ASA 5505 with Security plus license to do failover between the two. I have found a few examples on how this would work but curious about a couple things.
We would want the Cable to be the primary, T1 as a backup.Currently the IAD that handles our T1 does dhcp, dns, and NAT.. Who/what would handle these items with the setup above?
I've seen you can configure stateful failover between two routers running ip inspect classic firewall: url...Can the same be done yet for zone-firewall? I cannot find any documentation on it.

I applied it, but since we'd only purchased one license, it broke failover. 8.4 lets you share tracking licenses, and since we were planning on the upgrade to 8.4.x anyway, I figured no big deal, I'll get that straightened out when I do the upgrade.
Did the upgrade this weekend, and I still can't get things happy, the boxes don't see one-another:

I have an outside 7206 router that is configured with BGP. Behind that I have an ASA 5520 with a failover. Everytime my primary ISP goes down I have to failover the ASA to restablish a connection to the secondary ISP. When the primary comes back on line I have to fail it over again. I have had Cisco TAC look at the ASA and they didn't see anything misconfigured on the ASA. Doesn't seem to be any problems with the router config either.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to trigger stateful (or stateless) failover on ASA 55xx (8.0.3) when there's a failure on the IPS unit? I understand the fail open/fail close and its application on a single firewall, but the better solution for an IPS failure in a redundant pair would seem to be a stateful failover to the other ASA, and I don't see that as a documented feature.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having ASA 5520 with active/standby configured. Around 2 days ago, the ASA stopped responding & all of my websites stopped working. when i checked the failover status it said that failover is off. I had to manually turn the failover to start my traffic flow.During this time my secondary ASA was not responding. After some time, the primary stopped responding & secondary became active......to solve this i had to make the secondary unit as failover unit primary & the primary unit as failover unit secondary. i did get a log on ASA :-
“(Primary) Disabling Failover” with error message no.105001 which states the below:-
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105001: (Primary) Disabling failover.
Explanation In version 7.x and later, this message may indicate the following: failover has been automatically disabled because of a mode mismatch (single or multiple), a license mismatch (encryption or context), or a hardware difference (one unit has an IPS SSM installed, and its peer has a CSC SSM installed).(Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary unit.
I have two ASA 5510's that I want to setup in a Active/Standby configuration. My only question is on how to connect the inside ports to my LAN. I have 5 Catalyst 3750's stacked together that connect to the ASA's. Should I run the inside interface on ASA1 to a port on switch 1. Then run the inside interface on ASA2 to a port on switch2? And make sure both those ports are in the same VLAN? But, then when failover occured, how to I automatically make it clear the arp cache so the traffic starts flowing out of the right port?

I have 2 ASA5520's in failover pair.After failing over I cannot run ADSM on the secondary (now active device), I get "unable to launch device manager from [primary address]"
I can ASDM to the primary device (now marked as "standby ready") on the failover address. I can SSH to it also.I CANNOT ASDM to the secondary device (now marked as "active") on the primary address. I CAN SSH to it.
When I run "sh asdm image" I get valid output (asdm image disk0:/asdm-645.bin) on both.However when I run "sh ver" on each it appears ASDM is not running on the secondary device :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx [only]
Compared with :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx
Device Manager Version 6.4(5)
It appears as though ASDM is only running on the primary device (regardless of the fact it is now in standby mode). Is this normal?
I am having to run in a failover condition due to a intermittent hardware fault on the primary unit but require access to the ASDM for monitoring/diag purposes during this condition.
I have a customer with two ASA 5510s. All four ports are used by the following interfaces: inside, outside, dmz, and failover. This customer is looking at getting redundant internet connections, but we don't have any ports to the redundant connection. What I'd like to know is it possible to configure sub interfaces on one of the currently occupied ports (I'm thinking inside) and use one for inside and one for failover. This way I could have the other port free for the redundant internet connection.

These devices are running OSPF 128 in one area (Area 0).I'm pinging from both laptops to each other both ways. The ASA has the latest "8.6.1-5" image.

I fail the primary firewall (ASA-ACTIVE). I get a 4 seconds ping loss which is expected (holdtime) however after 10 seconds of pings I get another outage which last anywhere between 5 and 15 seconds. I've done a fair amount of debugging and I did notice that the second outage occurs with the OSPF neighbor goes from "loading" to "full". This doesn't make any sense because the routing table is fully populated when going to “full”.
When perfoming a manual fail back (type failover active on ASA-ACTIVE), pings goes on for approximately 10seconds and then an outage between 5 to 15 seconds. Agsin this outage occurs when OSPF neighbor goes from "loading" to "full".I've tried debugging on the switches and found nothing.
Cisco still doesn't provide failover (active/standby) between two different types of ASA, right?

"The two units in a failover configuration must have the same hardware configuration. They must be the same model, have the same number and types of interfaces, and the same amount of RAM"
We have ASA 5520 configured for failover and it was working fine. When we wanted to reload the firewall and inactive( Primary) to become Active , we saw that it is in Failed state. The DMZ2 interface in the capture below is the logical sub-interface , but is in Failed State. The other sub-interface on the physical interface Gig0/2 are all fine for the Failed Firewall.

We are going to buy a new Firewall ASA5510 to use failover possibilities.I just need to be sure it will be possible to implement as I have the following output after a "show ver" command: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.3(1) [code]
As you can see the failover line is set as "Disabled perpetual".We are actually using base license as i have not been able to find any contact for CISCO to get official support or new license.
I have a pair of ASA5520, each has a CSC-SSM module, all specs and licences match and the ASA failover between active and passive firewalls works as expected. However, I am unable to get the two content modules to sync. ASA are running 8.4... and attach diagram show cabling. Each CSC-SSM uses it's connected port as a gateway, although I've tried using both primary and standby IP.
When I try to sync the devices as per the Trend Micro instructions I get the error: "InterScan for CSC SSM could not establish a connection with the failover peer device. Please verify network connectivity with the peer and that the peer is functioning properly, then try again."
All interfaces are up/up. I cannot see the other CSC-SSM in either ASA's arp table. Neither CSC-SSM can ping the other, and none of the guides I've found so far details the pre sync config of the CSC-SSMs.
I have a customer who has purchased a Cisco 5510 and after we received it and all the necessary VPN, 3DES etc. licensing for it, then informed us that they order 2 T1 lines so they can have Internet failover.
My question is: Does this require an additional specialized license from Cisco in order to enable and configure it? And if so, what that part number is?
I have a question regarding failover monitoring on the ASA5505 in an active/standby configuration.
I understand that on the 5505 you create VLAN interfaces and then assign the VLANs to the 5505 switchports. With failover configured on the 5505, the VLAN interface names are monitored. For example, VLAN 100 interface named Inside is assigned to ethernet0/1, switchport mode access. When issuing a show failover command the output will show the monitor status of interface Inside..
Does failover monitor the VLAN virtual interface only? Does failover also monitor the link status of the ethernet0/1 switchport?
I have an ASA5510 and I would like to implement something like this: have two ports patched in and ready but only one active, the other one in standby (when the first one goes down the other port comes up and all the traffic goes down this way), all these on one physical box. So, it's basically like port failover on the same box.

I am planning to achieve the failover either of the following ways -
1) Configuring both ASA FW as active/standby method .
2) configuring ASA FW 1 tracking command pointing to the ISP end ip address so the traffic would be moved to secondary firewall by putting a AD as 1 on ASA FW ......pointing to the ISP ip address and other floating route ( with a higher AD value) to the secondary firewall interface.
3) To configure HSRP between the Routers.
