Cisco Firewall :: Monitoring ASA 5525-X With System Center 2012
May 21, 2013
We are using MS System Center Operations Manager to monitor network devices. We are trying to monitor our Cisco ASA 5525-X firewall interfaces.
We have a generic management pack installed that seems to work for parts of the 5525. We can see performance info for IF-4 but none of the other interfaces.
Our Management Pack is a generic Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Version 9.1(1) management pack.
Is there a management pack that is specifically for this Cisco firewall?
I'm currently implementing Microsoft System Center 2012 Operations Manager, the curent stage of the project is to add the network devices to SCOM via SNMP in order to monitor them, I am able to add them all and monitor; however, my ASA 5510, although SCOM discovers the ASA via SNMP and adds it to the network monitoring list, it loses SNMP connectivy every 30 minutes, and 15 later it reconnect with SCOM, then after another 15 minutes it loses the connection again, and so on and so for.
I downloaded the ISO for SSE 2010, and the damned thing is too big to burn to a DVD5. I doubt seriously MS expects people to have Dual-Layer discs handy.Is this intended not to be burned, but installed from the desktop instead? I can open the ISO just fine with WinZip.
Is there any free tool like lanvisor ???I have 50 computers in my lan and wish to monitor all those computers during their online examinations ... I need a free tool which will autostart in all clients so that i can sit in one computer monitoring everyone.
I'm setting up a Network Monitoring System in Nagios and Nagvis. Now, I want to monitor the cpu and memory of the switches SGE2000 and SGE2010 with SNMP. Does the OID for the switches SGE2000 and SGE2010 (CPU and Memory).I can't not seem to find them on the Internet(searched for hours).
I would like to make a monitoring system of my network based on Zabbix . I would like to use SNMP protocol with the Cisco RV180W but in that case, i need its MIB table to generate appropriate OID for CPU and memory using and network information. Where i can find this kind of information ?
I have read that it is possible to migrate from a 525 to an ASA via a upgrade to pix asa version 7.0 then using the migration tool once copied to the new ASA 5500 series, but i have alos read in a forum somewhere that a migration from PIX to ASA 5500-x series is not possible,, is this true ?
We have recently installed new 5525 8.6(1) ASA's. Our setup is like; where we are using Public IP for web server, which needs to be mapped/natted to internet VIP address and that VIP is configured on F5 LB. Setup is below; This Public IP is the web server IP. The firewall get hits, but web server page is not being displayed. In the logs FW built tcp but then tear down the session, syslog id (302014) 77 TCP Reset-I
|INTERNET| | | 195.201.55.X [ ASA ] Natting to 10.100.100.151 [ F5 ] | / / Real Servers---> .150 .151
I have an unusual issue, for which I can find nothing on the net similar.
Setup:
ASA5505 = > CISCO3524 => Windows 2012 server
ASA is internet edge with ACL / NAT implemented.
We are wanting to implement inbound NATs for this server - 3389. We have many other servers on the internal side of this ASA that we are NATing to. Creating NATs using the same outside IP to another server is fine, no issues. This other test server resides on the same VLAN as the windows 2012 server. All IPv6 is turned off on the W2012 server, and it can web-browse out via the ASA as well. No matter what I do, however I cannot get iinbound NAT, on ANY port to this server working. Internally from another server to this server on any port is fine, i.e. we can RDP to this server without issue, so we know this works - the firewall on this server is turned off too. This is our ONLY w2012 server on the internal side. When we run a wireshark on the server whilst testing the NAT there is no traffic, so its getting blocked somewhere.
The config of the ASA is fairly big to to santize it and remove all customer reference would take a while to make display of this secure difficult.
We have a customer that has a ASA 5525-x reporting only 4g flash memory rather than 8g has any 4g version of the 5525 or is the IOS reporting incorrectly the size, as it seems to be embedded on these units as a USB disk internal.
We have a 5525 that has not been deployed to production yet so we're using it in the lab. I want to lab some upgrades from 8.2 to 8.6 for some customers but the 5525 comes loaded with 8.6. Would there be any problem with reimaging the 5525 with 8.2? I'm just not sure if there would be an issue with this new hardware running that old software.
We've just replaced our Fortinet Firewalls with 5525's but are struggling to get a feature working that worked great on the Fortinet firewall.All our users use a proxy for internet access that's configured in IE but from time to time some users need to remove this proxy and go directly out to the internet, with the Fortinet devices we created a rule right at the bottom of the inside access out rule that had it authenticate users via TACACS which worked a treat and could be used from PC or laptop. We want to do a similar thing on the 5525 and I thought the Authenticated user would give me this access but I don't seem to be able to get it to work. I've got the AD side of it working fine the ASA can pull user and groups from AD but I'm struggling to get this working for a user.
I am in the process of upgrading a client's firewalls from 5520s to 5525-Xs. I have 2 independent firewalls that are merging into a single firewall. Both of the source ones have a TON of user accounts defined for remote user VPN, is there any way to move these user accounts with passwords in tact?? The goal is not to have to tell the 250+ users that they need to reset their passwords at once.
Is there a module or way to create a Guest Access Lobby on the ASA 5525? We currenly leverage the WLC to do this for us, but are moving to a routed access enviornment which is causing some issues. We would like to offload the guest access responsibility to the ASA if possible.
We are suffering an issue with ASDM 7.1(1) on a 5525-X with 9.1(1) software. In the Configuration --> Interfaces window, I can modify parameters on physical interfaces, I can modify parameter on subinterfaces, but I cannot create new subinterfaces or Etherchannels through ASDM.
When I create a subinterface, entering all parameters, interface name, vlan id, security level, etc., then I click on "Apply" button and nothing happens. It doesn't send anything to ASA. If I click on another window, ASDM ask for applying changes, I click on it, but nothing is applied and window doesn't change. It happens only when creating new interfaces. If I create them through CLI, then I can modify parameters without any problem.
I have tried re-installing java and I have tested with 6.31, 7.9, 7.11, 7.17 Java versions, from Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows 7 computers with same issue. Also with Linux Mint distro with IcedTea Java.
I recieved my IPS module license for my ASA 5525 . I enetered the key via the ADSM and it prompted me to restart the firewall .. After that i cannot get into the firewall via the ASDM .
I need to setup an ASA 5525 in Active/Standby failover mode. I am setting up the ASA for a company that purchased only one public IP address. The public IP address is assigned to the outside interface. My question is will failover work correctly if I don't use a secondary IP address on the failover configuration on the outside interface?
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.
We are planning to purchase an ASA 5505 for a VPN solution for one of our offices. The office has 50-60 user at peak load who would be connecting over the S2S VPN to the datacenter.
From a hardware standpoint, can the ASA 5505 handle this load. The licence is for unlimitedf inside hosts but what is the actual limit on this platform?
We will be moving to a new data center in the very near future and with them our WAN IP addresses will be changing. Any best course of action for changing the IP addresses throughout the firewall configuration? Would it be possible/suggested to export the running-config, make the neccessary changes, then import the config? I am familiar with the ASA 5510 only so far as changes are required. It is not something I work with on a regular basis.
We have backup data center where I am now planning to provide backup internet service ( in the case where there is internet down or power outage at main server room) . I have a pair of Cisco ASA's 5540, one of which I need to move to backup data center ( BDC), Presently I have ADSL router at disaster serve room with static public IP from ISP.
Currently, I am publishing all my internal resources through ASA. Now my questions, if I move Standby ASA to Disaster Server Room. How I can publish the same internal resources through standby ASA and make it standby as active during the down time of main server room
I have an ASA 5500 Firewall. I need to figure out how to log all events using Port 25 to determine if there are any rogue devices on our network. I was trying to figure out how to do this via the Real-Time Monitoring (filter) but have had no success.
I am new to the PIX firewall. And recently implemented the PIX 506e in my network. I wants to know how we can monitor the system that is generating the more traffic on Network through Firewall.
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?
We have one pair Cisco ASA 5505 located in different location and there are two point to point links between those two locations, one for primary link (static route w/ low metric) and the other for backup (static route w/ high metric). The tracked options is enabled for monitoring the state of the primary route. the detail parameters regarding options as below,
Frequency: 30 seconds Data Size: 28 bytes Threshold: 3000 milliseconds Tos: 0 Time out: 3000 milliseconds Number of Packets: 8
[code]....
I'm not sure if the setting is so sensitive that the secondary static route begins to work right away, even when some small link flappings occur. What is the best practice to set those parameters up in the production environment. How can we specify the reasonanble monitoring options to fit our needs.
I am interested in gathering cumulative threat-detection statistics from an ASA running 8.3, and displaying number of attacks over time. I am already capturing traffic information via netflow, but am interested in getting threat information.
Is there a way to capture the statistics via SNMP or any other method?
