Cisco Firewall :: Replacing PIX 506e With ASA 5505?
Apr 29, 2012
I need to replace an ageing PIX 506e with an ASA 5505.The current setup looks like this: The PIX is used for site-to-site VPN connection via the WAN 2 link. The WAN 1 link is used for general Internet connectivity.I don't have access to the Draytek Router as it is supported by a 3rd party, but I believe it uses static routing to direct the relevant traffic to/from the PIX.
When I replace the PIX with the ASA, the inside i/f connection experiences dropouts - but no errors show in the logs.The only significant difference I can see in the config is that the ASA utilises VLans for the inside & outside interface configs - I used the PIX-to-ASA Migration tool to make the initial configuration on the ASA.In tests, if I only connect the inside i/f of the ASA, pings from the LAN are stable. Once I connect the outside i/f, pings timeout approx 80% of the time.
I have a ASA 5505 which is replacing an old firewall. Everything is working apart from the dail in pptp sessions. These are forwarded to the windows 2003 server. [code]
I have 2 firewalls in my network: ASA 5505 and PIX 506E. Both firewalls's internal network is in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet but their external addresses are different of course. The inside IP for ASA 5505 is 192.168.0.254/24 whereas the PIX is 192.168.0.1/24. I've successfully configured VPN on the ASA 5505. I'm able to VPN to the ASA and can ping / access hosts that have the 192.168.0.254 as their gateways.However, I'm unable to ping/access hosts behind the PIX. What do I need to do in order to allow access to the network behind the PIX after I VPN to the ASA? Also, I'm unable to ping 192.168.0.254 after I VPN to the ASA.
How to configure SSH access on my PIX 506e. I would like to use local authentication with no AAA server. Also I would like to have telnet disabled completely.
There is a PIX 506E and ASA5510, with different connection to service provider. Problem is Apple remote users can't access resources protected by the PIX506E. Apple users can access resources protected by ASA5510. Physically the PIX and ASA are in close proximity with no physical connections. Is it possible for Apple users to authenticate with the ASA and the traffic get routed to and get authenticated by the PIX, inorder to access resources?Due to bandwidth restrictions, a DMZ on the ASA will not be created at this time inorder to consolodate firewalls. Currently 2 x T1 is the connection between ASA and ISP; 1 T1 connects PIX to ISP.
I have a PIX506E that was resently reset and it has version PIX Version 7.1(2) . It either uses some different commands or I am not using them correctly. [code]
So i got a Cisco PIX 506e from a friend and want to set it up for a VPN. Though i cant download the PDM (PIX Device Manager) since i dont have a Contract or something like that. So i cant set it up.
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 am trying to add a username to the local database for remote VPN connection but always i get this error when I add,Encrypted password is of incorrect lengthUsername addition failed.
I just got a PIX 506e from a friend that was not longer using it. I'm trying to get started with the configuration page. I've reset it to factory defaults, rebooted and connected up ethernet. I can ping the device at 192.168.1.1 and access it via console. I browse the site https://192.168.1.1/startup.html, get the invalid ssl certification, get a login prompt (user/pass) and as the document says I leave it blank. As soon as I hit ok it goes to the 404 error Page Not found.
What is the easiest way to restore my config? I backed it up yesterday with my tftp server. Today I made some changes and messed some things up and need to restore the config from yesterday.
I'm getting an error message on my 506E that is saying not enough flash space to install the new version 8 software. I did a clear flashfs command and then tried again but get the same error. Do the PIX 506E can be upgraded from version 6 to version 8? I am trying to install pix804-28.bin.
I have a problem with PIX 506E that meets the version 6.1, and in an simple computer network equipment seems to behave in strange ways because some web sites do not open or very open slow thereby its operation impracticable. On the other hand other web sites open normally.
Querying the web site of the Cisco, I found several documents discussing the same problem but in a later version ( 7.0 ), not in this version 6.1.
I've tried removing the pix from the network , not the error occurred, again insert pix however tested only with a machine, without the rest of the network and the problem persists
I like to set up a pix and router for this network for a small buss, but I need to know what type of cable do I need to set this connection to work straight through or a cross over cable? also I need a subgestion if a nat would work better on the pix or leave it on the router?
So I was doing some testing with my BB Playbook where I wanted to see what outside connections it tried to make during startup and whatnot. I have a pix 506e running 6.3(5). I created an simple 'deny ip any any' access list on the inside interface so that the Playbook doesn't actually make any connections, but I set up a 'capture' on the inside interface accepting 'ip any any' to see what kind of traffic I could see heading outbound from the Playbook. Well, it started off showing attempts to query DNS (and failed, naturally), but then after a couple of minutes, it tried to connect to a couple of IPs over port 443 and actually got a response!!! For the life of me, I can't figure out how this can happen. NO traffic should be allowed outbound due to my explicit 'deny' rule, but for some reason some traffic on port 443 made it past the firewall and got a response back. There are no other rules in the access list except the 'deny' rule. My PIX configuration is quite simple and I cannot see anything that would allow the Playbook traffic to circumvent the access list.
I've come to think that either RIM has found away around Cisco access-lists, or there is a bug in the Pix OS. I know it's an old appliance/OS, but still. I wouldn't think it could be THAT easy to bypass the firewall.
it is possible to enable Xauth on pix. I have read multiple threads about using the following cmds:
username test123password testing privilege 2 aaa-server LOCAL protocol local crypto map mycrypto client authentication LOCAL
However the f/w wont let me add the crypto map cmd, just comes back with the following:
PIX(config)# c.rypto map mycryptomap client authenication LOCAL Usage: [ show ] crypto { ca | dynamic-map | ipsec | isakmp | map | sa } ... show crypto engine [verify] [ show | clear ] crypto interface [counters]
I also tried the following, but they dont work and I am not sure if they are meant for Xauth since I was under the impression that it had to be enabled globally.
PIX(config)# vpngroup test authentication-server LOCAL Protocol "local" is not supported for authentication of remote users of a h/w client PIX(config)# vpngroup test user-authentication
I seem to be having an issue with my PIX configuration. I can ping the VPN client from the the internal network, but can cannot access any resources from the vpn client. [code]
I am trying to give a vendor VPN access so that they can remotely monitor and diagnose their installed heating and cooling equipment. I dont know where to start and I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I am technically savvy but i have no Cisco knowledge base.
I trying to do password reset on a 506e that I got with the current password unknown. I've gone to the Cisco URL for the reset: [code]
I am using the correct bin file as I checked with my pix version. Also I CANNOT ping the firewall from a PCor system on the network, but CAN ping everthing from the PIX.I've tried using interface 1 but no go. Also I've checked the TFTP software (Solarwinds) is running fine and I've unblocked it in XP's firewall.
So I have a Cisco PIX 506e that I've modified a bit, but am quite happy w/ when it comes to performance and configuration (I can actually set up the VPN server w/o too much thought.) I also have a Mikrotik Routerboard 750, I'm no longer using it as my router due to a few config issues I had plus the fact I had to hard code my internet gateway's arp address into the device due to some issues.
What I am wanting to do, which I'm sure is possible and easily accomplished (I just don't have the time right now to try it) is set the routerboard up behind my pix and have it function as an ipv6 router, while the pix handles my ipv4 duties. I've already set up the routerboard w/ an ipv6 tunnel broker when I had it running as my router, I am just curious if it will work in a similar fashion when configured behind an ipv4 device.
i'm looking to change my pix 506e for an rv042,is it a bad move or a good move ? is the rv042 much better than the 506e? i want to change to an rv042 because it's easier to manage! 506e is currently doing this :
-firewall for a web hosting company (7 servers) -2 vpn tunnel -one-to-one nat.
performance side : is the rv042 much better than the 506e? should i pick up an rv082 or an rv016 ? are they much better than the rv042 ?
We were having a discussion of ios firewall vs. asa for smaller clients(less than 50). On using ios firewall(zbf or cbac)and an asa 5505/5510. One of the arguments brought up on using ios firewall on the router is that a router will do an ip sla failover. I have configured a number of isr's for this and i know it works good.
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?
setting up an ASA 5505 to be used as a firewall between a BT internet router(BTNet service) and a Cisco 3560 Lan switch. BT have presented me with a cisco 3800 series router with the following details:
Network Address Network Mask BTnet NTE Router LAN Address
There are 2 Gigethernet ports on the back of the router port Ge0/0 is connected to the BT NTE and the status light is flashing green. Int ge0/1 is connected into port int e0/1 of the ASA but i am unable to get any connection.
I'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 been working with ASA 5510,20,40,80 but not with 5505 this vlan and its interfaces are quite confusing.Just want to know how it works and its connectivity to Cisco Switch.Do i have to put the interface of the switch in the same vlan as i am creating the interface vlan in firewall ?Now the switch port connecting to this Eth1 interface should also be in the same vlan ? i.e vlan3 ?? or it will be in trunk ? The default configuration shows the eth0 with no access vlan and interface eth1 with access vlan 2... does it mean the eth0 is in vlan1 ? (Nativ Vlan ) ???
I have a cisco asa 5505 firewall. Is it possible to block secure websites in it like [URL]? I have already tried regular expression filtering but it filters only http traffic.
I am trying to configure our ASA 5505 so that our users can access our ftp site using [URL] while inside the firewall. Our ftp site is setup so that you can reach it by either browsing to the above url or by browsing to ftp://99.23.119.78 but we are unable to access our ftp site from either route while inside the firewall. We can access our ftp site using the internal ip address of 192.168.1.3.
Here is our current confguration:

New to the ASA 5505 8.4 software version, but here is what I'm trying to do:
-Single static public IP: 16.2.3.4 -Need to PAT several ports to three separate servers behind firewall -One server houses email, pptp server, ftp server and web services: 10.1.20.91 -One server houses drac management (port 445): 10.1.20.92 -One server is the IP phone server using a range of ports: 10.1.20.156
Basically, need to PAT the ports associated with each server to the respective servers behind the ASA 5505. Is anything missing from this config? Do I need to include a global policy for PPTP and SMTP? [code]
I'm integrating a Cisco ASA5505 with a Websense proxy. I have a configuration setup where we have four routers which are used for Internet access. There are two VLAN's - Guest and Private. What I would like to achieve is making the use of available bandwidth by load distribution via GLBP, and filtering users web traffic. Two routers will be used for a GLBP group in one VLAN, and the other two routers will be used for GLBP in another VLAN.The users are connected to a Cisco 2960 switch and are in their respective VLAN's. I'm planning a 802.1q trunk to a Cisco ASA from the 2960 switch, carrying both VLAN's.What I would like to know is if there is a CSC module (or similar) which has Websense installed on it, and if it is possible to setup the ASA5505 in transparent mode to filter the traffic in this way? Hopefully this would allow multiple users to take advantage of the additional bandwidth, and not be restricted by using a traditional proxy setup which where all web traffic would be originating from a single MAC address.
