View 1 RepliesI tried last night to upgrade the memory in my old 5510. It's about 5 years old and has the single memory socket. I followed the instruction included in the kit:
Mfr. Part#: ASA5510-MEM-1GB
I did wear an ESD wrist strap (genuine Cisco at that!) and ensured the memory was fully seated, the handles locked in.Upon restarting the ASA, for over 15 minutes, it stayed in mode: Power LED steady, Status LED flashing, other LEDs off. No response to attempts to SSL via Putty. I powered it off, verified the memory was indeed fully seated, and re-installed the original 256 MB module. It powered up normally in less than 5 minutes. Is there anything else to try before returning the memory? Tonight, I can try the same new memoy module and see if it works.
When I try to save the configuration it displays the following error.Is it due to insufficient memory?
MPF-ASA#wr mem
ERROR: % Unrecognized commandMPF-ASA(config)# wr memBuilding configuration...Cryptochecksum: 81c514b8 9e95ee97 8b512148 b31377a4

I got an asa5510. After problems with ipsec connections the log said :
LU allocate xlate failed this error repeats every minute. At the cisco site i found the following :
explantion : stateful failover failed to allocate a translation (xlate) slot record recommended Action : check the available memory by using the show memory command to make sure that the security appliance had free memory in the system. If no memory is available, add more memory
But when i do there is free memory. (about 54%)
What can i do to fix this ?
I have two ASA5510's set up in failover, and the secondary keeps crashing after doing the interface checks when bringing failover up. This only happens if I try to upgrade the image on the secondary to anything newer than 8.4.1 (I've tried with 8.4.1-11 and 8.4.2). The primary one run just fine with new images.
I don't have the exact error right now, as I need to do a screen capture from console. It's just a huge crash dump.Are there anything I might have missed during the upgrade? Should I cold-boot both the firewalls in the correct order?
I am trying to get experience with 8.4 code on my 5505. I purchased a Cisco 512MB memory upgrade and installed it. It booted up once and I thought I was ok. I then looked down and noticed that all lights were blinking on the front panel and I had no console access.

I need to add memory to my ASA 55xx's (running 8.2(2)), some of which are config'd active/active or active/standby. The docs say that ram must be identical, which makes sense for production. My question is this: can I upgrade the standby units first, make them active, and then upgrade their mate? Or must I schedule downtime to take the pair down for the upgrade?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded our ASA5540 to 8.4, THEN noted the increased requirements for Memory. I purchased the 2Gig upgrade, but when installing in the Primary unit today, noted that there were 4 slots. Slots 1/3 had 512Mb modules, so I installed the 2 x 1Gig modules in slots 2/4.
The ASA5540 came up clean, and it "sees" the entire 3Gig of memory.
My question: Is this a SUPPORTED configuration? All documentation I have read only mentions 2Gig of memory. Also, If I had FOUR x 1Gig memory modules, would the ASA5540 support the 4Gigs of memory?
We want to run ASA 8.4.x on an old ASA5540. We need to upgrade its memory to 2 GB with the following memory upgrade: ASA5540-MEM-2GB=
I suspect that we will completely remove the existing 1 GB of memory and replace it with 2 GB. If this is the case, can I use this 1 GB of memory removed from the ASA5540 and put it in a ASA5510 instead of buying a ASA5510-MEM-1GB= for the ASA5510?

I am using asa845-k8.bin. The firewall boots and runs file until you issue the reload command. The system shuts down but never reloads.

I am having ASA5510 firewall which has 1GB RAM currently. I want to upgrade to 2GB. When I opened the box, I can see only 1 slot to insert the RAM. I searched in Cisco website and I got to know that I need to use 2 x 1 GB RAM. So, I need to have 2 slots to do that. But, I am having only 1 slot in the box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are about to upgrade our ASA's from 7.04 to 8.2. Obviously I will be opening a TAC case to assist with the upgrade and I will also be upgrading ASDM software at the same time. These production firewalls are paired with an active --> failover scenario and not active --> active. I had previously engaged cisco regarding the upgrade and they have recommended an upgrade path to ensure success. Also, I have a pair of test ASA's that I've gone through the upgrade process with - documenting the changes in commands and any changes in my config (I didn't notice any).So, the reason for my post is this: What are the gotcha's that you may have run into when upgrading your ASA's?These are fairly high visibility ASA's and any downtime due to the upgrade needs to be mitaged as much as possible.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUpgrade from firmware 8.21 5o 8.31? I am installing 1GB of memory in my ASA 5510 and in the process I have upgrade the firmware.
- Will the upgrade change my configuration or will I have to change this manually myself at some point
- What is the meaning of "Real IP" I am not sure what the means (reading up on it now)
- What else should I be concerned about during the upgrade?
I have an ASA5510 which was running version 8.31. SSH was working fine on version 8.31 but since i upgraded it to version 8.41 the SSH stopped working.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAn ASA5510 (with 1 webserver behind it, just starting to build the cluster) was functioning OK with version 8.2: I was able to log in using RDP to the server bhind it from some trusted IP's.
I updated ASDM to the latest version 6.4.7, and then the ASA-software to 8.3.2. After reloading, I could not access the server anymore. I saw that changes were made to the config. Then I updated to version 8.4.3, same results of course, and this is the config. [code]
We currently have a central hub using an ASA5510 and then a few site-to-site VPN connections to our support staff homes. The devices at the homes are Cisco routers. We were running version 8.25 on the ASA and all was working fine. We recently upgraded to version 8.42 and although all the functionality of the network is ok and it does what it should, our support staff cannot ping, ASDM or telnet to the ASA inside interface anymore whereas they could before the upgrade. The home VPNs all run on a 10.30 subnet (i.e. 10.30.1.x, 10.30.2.x etc etc). I can post our config (security edited of course), but it is quite a big config. The command management-access inside is specified and the 10.30.0.0/16 subnet is permitted to ASDM and Telnet. Are there any extra things that have to be done in version 8.42 to get this to work as the support staff do have to access the firewall for configuration purposes. At the moment, they have to telnet to one of the routers on the local LAN and then Telnet to the firewall from there.Prior to the upgrade, they were all able to ping the inside ASA interface and also telnet and HTTPS to it from their PCs at home. Now they cannot and the only change made was an upgrade to 8.42. Immediately after the upgrade none of them can ping the interface anymore and it seems it can only be accessed from the local LAN. I cannot find any access-lists that might be blocking the packets so can only assume it's something in the way 8.42 works.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently my ASA5510 has a 64MB internal flash. Does the ASA require a higher capacity flash for an IOS upgrade from 7.2(x) to 8.2(x)? The Cisco Release Notes does not state any internal flash requirement, but just wanted to double check.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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

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 have a cisco asa 5510 with security plus license in Live enviroment . I need to add a secondary firewall . I was planning to do in active /standby mode for failover .But i have a doubt , when i do "show version " on live asa output says Active /active failover , does this means that i can only configure failover in active/active mode not in active/standby (which i want to do )?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to see some REAL LIFE comparisons of ASA firewall throughput (a bit like this one for ISR G2 Routers - [URL].
The reason I ask is that I recently upgraded a firewall from an ASA5505 to an ASA5520 on a small network where the only outside connectivity was a single 10meg Internet circuit with an IPSEC VPN (not landed on the firewall but on a router) to another site.
When I swapped out the firewall the users noticed a big improvement. The firewall is not doing anything out of the ordinary - no IPS or VPN, just standard state full inspection.
i have asa 5505 with the asdm v5.2 (4), and the asa v7.2(4). This platform has a base license. if i upgrade adsm and asa on v6.2(1) and v8.2(2) if I lose my license and that you need to activate them? i configured site to site vpn (this firewall and the another) that i lose my configuration if i upgrade my firewall.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've deployed many Cisco PIX 501 v6.3.3 either as normal firewalling feature and/or with VPN features enabled. I noticed in all my deployments, regardless if it's during peak hours or after office hours, the memory utilization is always consistent 11MB utilized over the total of 16MB(memory default size).
