I am having two ASA 5550 firewall running in active/standby mode. With in last two months our secondary firewall got down automatically 3 times. Firewall is running with IOS version 7.1.2. how to proceed further troubleshooting because there are not any logs on firewall.
View 3 RepliesI 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 two 5550 firewall set up for redundance purpose . in failover we define two different ip add one for primary and one for secondary .interface Ethernet0/0 nameif outside security-level 0 ip address xxxx.0.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 standby xxxx.0.0.2!interface Ethernet1/0 nameif inside security-level 100 ip address 10.0.0.12 255.255.255.0 standby 10.0.0.11.default gateway for host will be 10.0.0.12 (primary fw address) however in case of failover , the secondary fw will be up with ip address that was assigned for primary .in this case the secondary ip add 10.0.0.11 is actually nerver used? similarly do i need to have two public ip address for outside (one for primary and one for secondary ) ? or in case if primary fails the secondary comes onlie and take the ip of primary fw . hence i only need to purchase just one ip address.

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 )?

Just want to know if there is a way to configure secondary IP address on the outside/public interface of ASA/PIX.One of our clients have used most of their IP on the subnet given by their ISP. They use those IP's for staticallymapping to Servers inside their local LAN. Thus, they requested another block/subnet from their ISP. They will also use this for static mapping/port forwarding to other servers in their network. The current UTM they are using is allowing this but they would like to use ASA/PIX as their main Firewall. Is this even possible or is there a workaround for this kind of scenario?

View 7 Replies View Relatedwe had just installed our ASA 5550 with IOS 8.0(2) a couple of week ago.
2 interfaces from each slot are being used ie 0/0 for Branch users comming via MPLS cloud , 0/1 for internal LAN users comming form Core Switch & 1/0 for Server farm LAN , 1/1 for Internet (outside)
the first 3 interface are considered inside with sec set at 100 while the 1/1 is outside with sec at 0.
Last night it suddenly started dropping all connections without any warning or any noticible log form the ASDM logging.
the connection drop would happen for 2 - 3 minutes and would work fine for the next 15 minutes or so..
after conencting the console , we found out that the IOS would suddelny go abrupt and show this display ...

I have looked in the books I have (Cisco ASA, PIX and FWSM; ASA 8.0) and googled a good bit but can't seem to find any specific mention of how to do NAT exemption with v8.4. It seems NAT exemption (NAT 0 access-list) was deprecated. Using ASDM, there's no corresponding menu item for this that is obvious.
We have public addresses inside the ASA and want to allow in/outbound connections using these IP's without NAT. The ASA is a 5550.
Can we assign Secondary ISP-2 Pool IP to DMZ Server, network design attached for reference.

I need to understand if ASA 5550 ver 8.2(1) is comptible with IPv6, if not what is the upgrade path to make it IPv6 compatible. The requirement is dual stack of IPv4 and IPv6 should run in the same HA cluster and later will shift IPv6 completely.
The existing infrastructure is equipped with ASA with HA Active/Active mode. The command output for required details are attached here in txt mode.
I have Active Standby ASA5550 setup with VPN premium license. A few days back we had a requirement of SSL VPN connection for and we got a temporary from Cisco for same, this license expired and the ASA reverted to it's original license. 3 4 days after this we saw a sudden increase in CPU utilization (upto 90% + -5%) on the ASA during production hours but were not able to figure out the reason, in order to restore the services we failovered the firewall to secondary and everything worked fine. We were suspecting one of the following but there were no logs for any of this
1. The ASA hardware was haivng problem
2. Some client was doing a DoS attack to bring down the ASA (no logs for this as well).
We took a downtime to look further by failovering the ASA back to primary and it worked fine without any issues ruling out the 1st option. We also came across a licesing doc [URL]
Downgrading any license (for example, going from 10 contexts to 2 contexts).
# Note If a temporary license expires, and the permanent license is a downgrade, then you do not need to immediately reload the security appliance; the next time you reload, the permanent license is restored.
As per this doc, sooner or later a restart was required on the ASA. We restarted secondary ASA and everthing was fine but when we restarted the primary ASA by swtiching over to secondary some of the server (not all) in the DMZ stopped working (even ICMP unreachable) and only came back to normal when the primary ASA was restored and working fine (with failover).
The reboot was done by shuting down the physical link between the Core switch and ASA inside individually.
I am not sure what could be the issue that the servers in the DMZ wen unreachable.
In my Cisco ASA 5550, I need to set two different syslogs servers, and I need to send the system logs to the first one (only admins login/logout), and the traffic logs and all the rest (informational level) to the second one. Do you know if is it possible or not and, if yes, how to configure it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using an ASA5550 for a complex secure network that has at least six "outside" networks. Each "outside" network is assigned to a specific port each set at level "0". I also have a DMZ, set to level "50". I am having difficulty with passing traffic from a host in the DMZ to all but one of the "outside" networks. Is there a limit to the number of "outside" interfaces? I will provide a redacted config file as soon as possible.

I have the following problem, right now we have an ASA 5550 connected to the client´s side. A reset is being received on the client´s side, but when we run the sniffers on both extremes of the network, we can see that the reset is not being sent by the server´s side.
We have narrowed it down to the 5550 ASA, but have found no bug that matches the description.
The characateristics of the reset packet are the following:
- It is the only packet with a TTL of 255.
- Both server and client have very different window sizes, and the reset packet even though has the server´s ip and port as source of the packet, it has the client´s window size.
- It has a correct ack number.
-Before the reset is received, there are a couple of retransmissions of the last packet sent.
- We´re handling a VPN tunnel between both servers.

Whilst troubleshooting another issue I noticed the below. I don't know much about fail over but this would suggest that the secondary ASA is active and the primary ASA is on standby.
if the primary is "active" then how come the secondary is the active ASA? I would have thought that once the primary ASA became active this would assume the "main" role".
