I have two Cisco ASA 5540, these ASA running ver 7.2. and used mainly as VPN gateways.My question is simple, Apart from the extra AnyConnect client functionality and the higher encryption, is there any specific security benefits (related to the VPN use) for upgrading to ver. 8.x ?
View 4 Repliesi need to upgrade ASA 5540 from 7.1 to 8.4 for secure connect feature of Cisco Jabber Configuration. Support forum guides that, i need to follow upgrade path from 7.1 --> 7.2 --> 8.0 --> 8.2 -->8.4 and also do a memory upgrade from 1GB to 2GB.

I need to use this feature for only three or maximum four users in company then would i really need to do memory upgrade? or can i go with 1GB memory?also how i can get the prices of part number "ASA5540-MEM-2GB=" at cisco.com?
ASA-ISB-HQ# sh version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 7.1(2)
Device Manager Version 5.1(2)

Just upped our external ASA-5540 pair to 8.4(1), and now one of our nat's is busted.
Here's the lowdown:
Our public IP for our IronPorts ends in .167. That IP is natted to a VIP on our ACE, which load balances to the IronPorts.
The outside interface of the ASA uses .162, which has been the pat for all outbound traffic for a few years... except for the subnet that houses the IronPorts. Due to reverse lookup, that subnet uses the .167 IP address for all outbound traffic.
After the code upgrade, the nat won't work. No email sent or received. Nothing but Deny's on the ASA with flags reading either "SYN" or "RST". IE: Apr 27 12:56:11 10.22.151.41 local5.crit %ASA-2-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from 69.25.174.17/36917 to 207.236.211.167/25 flags SYN on interface outside
If I return the subnet pat back to the outside interface, then inbound traffic works fine, though reverse lookup fails and anyone running a reasonable spam filter won't send to us.
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?
We have a old Cisco ASA5540 firewall running on firmware version 7.0 and also a Firewall Service Module (FSWM) running on firmware version 2.3.
My question is if I would like to upgrade the Cisco ASA5540 firmware version to 7.1 above and the FWSM firewall version to 3.1 above, any requirement on the memory size or hardware to perform the firmware upgrade activity, do I require to do some memory or hardware module upgrade activty first before the firmware upgrade ?
Any restriction, shortcoming and pre-requites to do before the firmware upgrade activity ?
I have 2 ASA 5540 in our network. I want to upgrade it from 8.0.4 to 8.4.3. I want assistance in the configuration because I know that there is a change a configuration while migrating from 8.0.4 to 8.4.3.Is there any tool available on Internet that facilitates me to convert the current configuration computable to 8.4.3.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOur network administrator restricts all our new 1Gb switches to only 100Mb, to which he claims it will increase overall performance. Preventing devices from bottlenecking the network. (that is, only restricting the main switch ports, not the uplinks)For example we have a new building with 2x WS-C2960S-48TS-L connected together with FlexJack and then a 1Gb Fiber connection back to our core switch.
This building is on it's own subnet and there is little broadcast traffic. I don't see the point other than it hinders the potential speed we could use. Labs are set up in this building and 1Gb is MUCH faster when it comes to imaging and software deployment.
ASA5540# sh run nat-control
no nat-control
this means higher security can talk to lower security without NAT rules
Question 1) - if I want higher security zone to to talk to lower security with NAT rules. I would use statements like below. Am I correct?
nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
global (dmz) 1 interface
global (inside) 1 interface
Is this correct? So in this case I am kindly of like overriding the no nat-control statement ...right?
Question 2) - Now I have no nat-control enabled. Would the below statements (nat 0) be of any use for NAT exemption??
nat (dmz) 0 access-list dmz-nonat
nat (inside) 0 access-list dbase-nonat
And do I have to have a global statement for NAT 0 ...like below?
global (dmz) 0 access-list dmz-nonat
global (apps) 0 access-list dbase-

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a remote site customer with a Cisco ASA 5540 running SSLVPN (Anyconnect)(8.03). It currently only serves about 450 SSLVPN clients. Since last friday, they've seen the CPU utilization go up to high 90% while only serving 400+ remote users. I saw some high cpu utilization bugs, but none looked to be relevant. How I can find the root cause of the CPU high utilization?

What is the process to do this safely? After removal will the HA wizard recognize that the module was removed or do I have to update the software?

Q1. I would like to confirm like how many total of contexts do I have by default when I purchase the ASA 5540 ? are they two contexts aside from the admin context or two contexts including the admin context?
Q2. can I configure the default box with High Availability using the default contexts?
Does ASA 5540 support BGP routing protocol to be configured on it??

I am in the process of rebuilding our ASA 5540 pair. We are currently on 8.2 code with this set of firewalls and I was going to upgrade it to 8.4 being I have a couple of other firewalls running this code currently and am familiar with it. That said, I saw that the 9.x code is out there now. Are there any major advantages or caveats with the 9.0 code? I plan to use this firewall with SSL VPN and RSA Secure ID integration for the next 2-3 years at least. Any quick pointers on these two code versions and on upgrading to 9 or staying with 8.4 line.

I'm having a throughput problem with a new ASA 5540 running version 8.2 (1). When trying to access a database server using tcp port 1521 (sqlnet) it is about 10 to 20 times slower than when the database is not behind the firewall. We've been running the same software on a database behind an ASA 5520 running version 8.0 (3) with no problems for years. When I check the cpu usage on the 5540 at the ASDM home page, it is rarely above 20% and never above 30% while this is being tested. I tried testing ftp throughput over the same interface and it was normal with ~320 Mbps average rate transferring a 500 MB file.

We have a VPN established between the above devices (I don't have more info on the Juniper as it's a client site) The Juniper initiates the VPN and all is well, tunnel is up all ok but approx every 45 minutes the VPN drops.
the tunnel parameters are set to keep it alive for 8 hours but that doesn't work.
