Cisco Firewall :: Failover On ASA5510 - Reason Of Interface Tests
Jun 24, 2011
Do I correctly understand that when two ASA 5510 are in fail over pair, the switchover from primary to secondary if one interface of primary goes down shall happen ONLY if failover link is up? So when the fail over link is down and one interface on primary got down also, interface tests between the two ASAs still are being done , but secondary SHALL NEVER try to become active.
In this case why to make tests on data interfaces ? What is the reason to make them? If the knowledge of that some interfaces of primary became down comes through failover link - no need to make additional interface tests - primary will tell about the failure to secondary. If so should run no monitor-interface if name command to dis load devices and network by foolish tests?

I've got a ASA 5550 firewall interface failover issue. (File attached).
when I shut down the inside interface Gi 1/1 of the left firewall(Active firewall), It failed to failover. but when I shut down the Gi 1/12 of the Core 1 switch, The firewall failover very well.
I followed this guide but I was not able to failover. [URL]
how can I configure so that when the Gi 1/1 or Gi 1/0 interface goes down, it can failover ? Code...

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 have a pair of ASA5510 currently running as a failover pair. For some reason we need to move one of the firewall to another site, is there any best practice on splitting up the failover pair then I can re-configure the secondary unit offline?
I'm thinking to power down the secondary unit, unplug it from the network totally then erase the configuration on the secondary unit on console so I can re-configure it. For the primary unit, I will disable the faiolver config by "no failover" on the primary unit. Is that necessarily all thing for splitting up the failover cluster?
Hardware: ASA5510, 256 MB RAM, CPU Pentium 4 Celeron 1600 MHz

I have just finished setting up two ASA5510s in Active/Standby Staeful failover, using the Management interface for both failover and state. Everything appears to be working well.Configurations were transferred and the "sh failover" on both accurately reports their status before and after a failing the active device.I monitored the inside IP with a continuous ping (using a Windows client) and noticed that there were usually two to three ping responses lost. Is this normal?

My customer had a spare ASA5510 bought a few years before with 5 x FE and security plus license with HA. Now they would like to buy a new ASA5510 to configure HA with the spare one, but now the ASA5510 comes with 2GE+3FE. Can the two FW work in HA?

I am a single ASA-5510 with CSC module.I want to pair it for active/standby mode for failover .... can it be done if second ASA doesn't have the module? Can I assume the in case of a failover, the traffic won't be checked, and primary does in case CSC module fails?

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?

I am looking to change my Failover Int IPs on my PIX 515E Bundle, Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(5)123 with the least impact on the network.
For example:
interface ethernet5 "state"
IP address 172.18.0.245, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.245 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.246
I want to change these lines to .....
interface ethernet5 "state"
IP address 172.18.0.185, subnet mask 255.255.255.252
ip address state 172.18.0.185 255.255.255.252
failover ip address state 172.18.0.186

I have two ASA 5540s, ver 8.4 configured in Active/Standby failover.I am also using the redundant interface feature for my Inside interface. Gig0/0 is the active primary and Gig0/1 is standby.
I will activate failover monitoring of the Inside interface using the monitor inside command.
My question concerns the failover monitoring of the redundant interface. If the gig0/0 connection were to fail would the Gig0/1 interface become Active, AND simultaneously result in a full device failover?
Or, does Gig0/1 of the Inside interface redundant pair simply become active and not change the Inside interface device failover state? Thus NOT resulting in a device failover.

From ASA 5520 we tested the interface failover it not working even the interface are getting monitor .
primary is active.
Manually we shut the outside interface of the primary device configuration is getting reflecting in secondary as outside interface shut. Interface failover not happen.
ii All the interface are getting monitor when we gave command sh failover. even though when we shut outside interface failove not happening.
how to do the interface failover in ASA 8.4 version.

I have a ASA5510 and I have a question about the speed the ports can handle, here is one port:
-interface Ethernet0/2
- speed 100
-shutdown
- no nameif
-no security-level
-no ip address
it's ethernet and not fastethernet so I figure it will only go to 10Mbps, but at the same time I can hard code the speed to 100.

I am getting this error on my PIX 535 with 8.0.4 code. The error is Error : OSPF/RIP cannot be enabled on failover interface, I am getting this error while trying to enable RIP on the firewall. The context is single mode and failover is enabled. When I am disabling the failover the Firewall is accepting the RIP configurations.

Currently l have two ASA 5520's in a active/passive failover scenario. Currently the interfaces for the inside and outside are fixed at 100/FULL.I want to repatch them into GigE ports setup as Auto Negotiate.Is there anyway of keeping the connections through the firewall active in this type of scenrio or will l have downtime disconnecting and repatching? or could l possibly disable failover and reconfigure each ?

We use filter rules on an ASA5510 firewall to direct clients to a web filtering server which generally works very well. However lately we're finding that despite having more web filtering licenses than users, the web filtering licenses are being consumed up, mainly because of a recent increase in the rollout of ipads, iphones, androids etc. We could deploy a proxy server in the wireless DMZ to make all the wireless devices appear to web filter as a single IP, and apply a single policy, but that brings it's own problems. My question is: Is there a way to hide them all behind the interface IP instead, so that all wireless devices appear to the web filter on the LAN as the wireless dmz interface IP rather than the wireless device IP?

I have a pair of ASA5510s in a failover configuration where I see these 2 logs repeated every 15 seconds.
105008 1 Nov 27 2012 10:39:27 (Primary) Testing Interface management
105009 1 Nov 27 2012 10:39:28 (Primary) Testing on interface management Passed
I have read other threads where these are accompanied by "105005, Lost Failover communications with mate on interface". But I'm only getting these 2. The other thing that is confusing is that the "management" interface is not the failover interface. So why do I see 105008/9 logs about it?
Output of "sh fail":
5510a# sh fail
Failover On
Failover unit Primary

Our ASA 5510 is running 8.0(5). We recently upgraded the license from base to security plus. By doing so the capacity of the the external port Ethernet0/0 and Ethernet0/1 should increase from the original FE to GE. But, we were still seeing 100 Mbps on our Ethernet0/0 interface. We figured that out that the provider switch is only supporting 100 Mbps which is a bottleneck for us.The provider will be upgrading there switches to 1 Gb switch.
We will have to swap the switch connections now from 100 Mbps to 1 Gb switch.What commands should we be familar ourself with?Though this will be doine in our maintenace window.All the transaltions/connections will be dropped in our production environment so we are kind of scared.

I try to ASDM and get "Unable to launch device manager from 172.16.252.100"
I think I am missing something. Software is 8.4(5) and running in Transparent Mode.
Inside/Outside are in bridge-group 1. No BVI is configured as we will be using Management0/0 for access.

We have a Cisco ASA 5510 with:
-version: asa845-k8.bin
-ASDM: asdm-711-52.bin
Interface "Outside" is a PPPOE configuration.We currently have 36 site to site VPN connections up and running through the "Outside" interface. Now when we try to add, via ASDM, a new site to site VPN connection, we can not choose the "Outside" interface. The interface is just not available. All other interfaces are, bot those are inside interfaces.
I tried running ASDM on a different computer (thought that ASDM or java got corrupted perhaps), but the same problem appeared.Now when we "shutdown" the outside interface and "no shutdown" it again, the "Outside" interface is available again when you add a new site to site VPN profile.
Sidenote: if we check the current profile of a succesful running site to site VPN, it say's that it's using an inside interface. But that is, ofcourse, not possible.

I am currently managing an ASA5510 using ASDM through the management port but I would like to manage the ASA through the internal port.
My concern is that I thought I remembered reading someplace that if you setup an internal port for management that it can't be used for anything else. Is this correct?
I only configured one internal port and it is the path to my LAN. I would hate to configure the port for management only to find that I disconnected my firewall from my internal network in the process. Can I use my one and only configured internal port for both ASA management and route from my LAN thru the ASA firewall?
I currently have the management port set to 192.168.1.1 and my internal interface is 10.1.1.1. If I open ASDM and connect thru the management port and select Configuration/Device Management/Management Access/ASDM/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH
select "ADD"
select access type "ASDM/HTTPS"
select interface "internal"
IP Address "10.1.1.0"
Mask "255.255.255.0"
Will that give me access to ASA management thru my internal network but cripple my network access to the ASA?

I've been trying to configure the threat-detection scanning-threat shun feature on my ASA5510 running 8.4(2) for some days now. From searching the support community I can see that I'm not the only one having a problem with this feature. The problem I'm having is that after configuring scanning-threat shun, no outside attacking hosts are being shunned. I'm using nmap to simulate a scanning attack. [code]
Is this the expected behavior of scanning-threat shun? If so this feature is of very little use to me as blocking my inside LAN is not my goal. I'm trying to protect my LAN from Internet attack. I can add the except command and exempt my LAN, but this still doesn't fix the problem of outside hosts not being shunned.

I have two routers on my internal network.
10.10.199.106 is a Cisco ASA5510.
10.10.199.108 is a Sonicwall NSA 3500
The sonicwall handles our site to site VPN tunnels. The Cisco handles our client to site VPN connections.
I have a unit that points to 10.10.199.106 (Cisco) for internet access. All other clients on the network point to 10.10.199.108 (Sonicwall) for internet access.The device in question, a Synology NAS, is using 10.10.199.68 as it's IP address.
I'm trying to hit the web interface on the NAS from a remote site across our VPN tunnel. The IP scheme on the remote end of the VPN tunnel is 192.168.72.0/24.
Going through the VPN, I can hit every object on the network that uses .108 (Sonicwalll) as it's gateway. However, I cannot hit the unit that uses .106 (Cisco) as it's gateway.
I added a route statement (using ASDM) that routes all traffic destined to 192.168.72.0/24 to the Sonicwall so it can send it back down the VPN tunnel. If I'm understanding routing correctly, this should allow responses from NAS destined for 192.168.72.0/24 to go back down the VPN tunnel.

we have two Cisco ASA 5510 in failover configuration.We tried to change the public IP address on the Outside interface of the primary device but it didn't works. The new IP is not reachable from Internet nor pingable from device on the same LAN.The new IP address is in the same subnet of the old IP.
From the switch on which the ASA is connected and from another Cisco PIX we can see the ARP entry. In the analysis, on the old public IP address there was a VPN site-to-site and Webvpn defined.We tried also to shut/no shut the interface and reboot the device.

I have run out of public facing IP addresses and I need more. Assuming I have been issued 1.1.1.0/24 and my new/additional range/subnet issued is 2.2.2/0/24 - Can I carry on with the same configuration on my ASA5510 and just add static NAT for new services in the 2.2.2.0/24 range.
i.e.existing config
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.254 (upstream ISP)
Interface outside ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
NAT 2.2.2.1 to 10.1.2.3
or, assume my ISP will deliver 2.2.2.1 to my outside interface (1.1.1.1.1/24) and if my NAT is in place it will get delivered to 10.1.2.3 inside.
or, put another way I dont need change my set-up as I just static route to my ISP!
my real public IP is a /27 can I use my broadcast address (its a legit public IP address)?
i.e 1.2.3.0/27 = 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.31
Outside interface = 1.2.3.1/27
Can I use 1.2.3.31 and NAT it to an internal server?

We have several pairs of ASA5510s in failover A/P mode, some running 8.3(2) and others running 8.4(1).
e0/0 = outside
e0/1 = inside
m0/0 = management
The problem we're having is we can't get anything to route out of the management interface unless we put in a static route at least to the subnet level. For example, we want syslog traffic to exit out m0/0 to our syslog server 10.71.211.79. Our 'gateway of last resort' points to the next hop out e0/0, and a second static route with a higher metric and a more distinct network space is for m0/0 as in:
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.49.129 1route management 10.72.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.72.232.94 10
This doesn't work, and ASDM loggin gives this error: ".....Routing failed to locate next hop for udp from NP Identity Ifc:10.72.232.89/514 to management:10.72.211.79/514"
If I put in a more granular subnet route, or a host route of the syslog server it works, such as:
route management 10.72.211.0 255.255.255.0 10.72.232.94 10 <------------- this works
route management 10.72.211.79 255.255.255.255 10.72.232.94 10 <------------- this works too
Why won't a static route for 10.71.0.0 255.255.0.0 work in this case?
We are going to have numerous hosts access and be sent messages though the management interface of these ASAs, and it would be very burdonsome to have to add a host, or even a subnet, route for every one. I've removed all static routes and tried to rely on EIGRP, but that doesn't work. I also had to put 'passive-interface management' under the EIGRP for this to work.
Here is the pertinant ASA config concerning syslog, routing, and interfaces:
interface Ethernet0/0 nameif outside security-level 0 ip address 192.168.49.140 255.255.255.128 standby 192.168.49.141 !interface Ethernet0/1 nameif inside security-level 100 ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.128 standby

I have setup ASA5510 in failover mode. I am planning to use this setup for clientless SSL VPN and have following questions.
1. Do I have to license both firewalls for SSL VPNs? These licenses are very expensive and why would I have to purchase it for secondary when I am not using it?
2. SSL vertificate for the firewall it self. Do I have to acquire one or two to ensure users don't get annoying message about self signed certificate? Cisco doesn't seem to have this discussion in any documents. However I found following URL discussing from somebody's experience. What's official statement from Cisco on this matter? [URL]
