Cisco Firewall :: Secondary ASA5525 Interface Flap When Write Standby
May 23, 2013
i never see this before, but on newly purchased just configured firewall.when i do wrtie standby.All interfaces on standby unit flaps.is it some IOS bug? my firewalls are [code] what could be the reason? FYI i am using LAN base failover and not doing any statful fail-over.
last night I started upgrading our ASA5520 active/standby cluster. Because of lack of memory, I stopped the upgrade process and will continue when the memory modules have arrived... Currently I'm running 8.0(5) on both nodes (Version: Ours 8.0(5), Mate 8.0(5))Whenever I use the "write standby" command on the active ASA, the passive ASA seems to drop it links for a short while. [code]
Got an ASA5525-X with 8.6 release. We have an inside interface (10.11.1.0/24) and a DMZ interface (10.254.1.0/24). On that DMZ interface theres an SMTP server; by using the Public server feature in ASDM we created a rule so we have mapped the 10.254.1.29 internal ip to an external ip 217.x.x.x Everything is fine; working ok, but for several reasons we need to access the public ip 217.x.x.x from an inside ip (10.11.1.10). I tried to do it by creating an exemption for the dynamic nat; if i don't do that i have a 'deny ip spoof from...' message rolling on my syslogs.Seems to do the trick.....but only for pings! i ping the public ip from the inside ip, and got the reply from the internal ip on the DMZ. But if i want to telnet port 25 from inside to public; its not working.
We have 2 ASA 5505s in a data center at a remote site.
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".
I have two ASA 5520s in Active/Standby. I try and test this quartely to ensure it is working correctly. Everything works fine, except I have an issue with one interface. When doing a show failover, it shows the interface as failed on the secondary unit, and I am not sure why. It shows it as normal on the primary.
This host: Primary - Active Active time: 9277305 (sec) slot 0: ASA5520 hw/sw rev (2.0/8.2(4)) status (Up Sys) Interface WaterworksCanopy (192.x.x.x): Normal
We already have a subnet defined to inside interface and is in produciton. the default gateway is this interface ip. In that setup now I have to add one more subnet and as the first subnet is been defined in ASA indside interface, I have to assign secondary Ip to the inside interface so that new subnet users can easily reach here and go outside.
Here is an example of what each switch logs when a server drops offline. Sample logs taken between 5:32am and 5:35am on Feb 20. This particular one was having problems all weekend. Switch #1 encountered over 2000 interface resets. The corresponding VPC port on Switch #2 only had 13 resets.

I know the 5510 & 5520s support the CSC-SSM module for Content Filtering (Anti-Phishing, Anti Spam, URL filtering, Anti-Spyware & Antivirus), but what about content filtering for the ASA5525-K9.The problem that I have is that I need a firewall that supports up to 1 Gbps Maximum Firewall Throughput and to support 250 users with Content Filtering described above.I'm using the following doc for sizing and came across the ASA5525-K9 for 1 Gbps, but not sure about the Content filtering: url...
I'm configuring the nat on a ASA5525 running on 9.1.2 and got 2 questions, 1. Is the below overlap warning message normal and will not cause any issue? 2. Is there a simple way on 8.3 and later to fulfill the same functionality like 8.2 and earlier?
old config on 8.2 and earlier nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 global (outside) 1 216.19.84.5
If ASA5525 with ASA8.6(1)2 can be browsed using ASDM7.0(1), as currently i'm running ASDM6.6(1) if it will work, any document how to do the upgrade using GUI screen?
I currently have the managment interface set to my internal network using our DHCP server. We also provide another interface to WLAN for a chartity organization. Their interface and WLAN are locked out of our network (no routes, no nothing) with only VLAN tagging sending out over our backup internet connection. I have been tasked to take over their DHCP scope (255.255.240.0). I added the scope into the 4404 just fine but can't seem to assign it. So, for the sake of argument lets say:
If I tell the charity interface to use 192.168.160.2 for the dhcp scope it errors out. I also tried the DHCP override in the WLAN with no success. If I set either DHCP option for the charity to aim at the managment interface it does nothing as it can't find it..
how to configure the backup port for the management interface for a WLC 2112. I see in the documentation that it states:
"Each interface is mapped to at least one primary port, and some interfaces (management and dynamic) can be mapped to an optional secondary (or backup) port. If the primary port for an interface fails, the interface automatically moves to the backup port. In addition, multiple interfaces can be mapped to a single controller port."
But nowhere can I find where it says how exactly to do it. Google seaches have come up empty as well. I am connecting the WLC to a 3750 stack, and would like to have a secondary port from the WLC connected to the second node of the 3750 stack. So far I have connected port 1 (management) of the WLC to a port on node 1 of the stack which is configured as a trunk and everything is workign fine. I have also connected port 2 from the WLC to a port on node 2 in the stack that is configured the same as the port on node one. how to tell the WLC to use port 2 as the management backup if needed.
I want to see log for write on ASA5520. who & when write lastly and who write before. How to see this log. In show vershon i see last modified date, but not log.
When I make changes to the config of my ASA 5505 and write mem (or use the ASDM to save running config to flash) the changes are not being saved.
Is this going to be a problem with the Flash Memory on the device?I have successfully saved config on this device in the past, which is why I am thinking it might be a problem with the flash memory.
I have just updated a VLAN interface on my router. I have two 6500's with GLBP configured. The particular interface had a primary and secondary IP address. I shutdown the interface on one router and deleted the secondary address then assigned the orignal secondary address to be the be the only address associated with the interface and enabled the interface and it came right back up...all looks good. I proceeded to do the same thing to the other router and once again all looked good. Now, I am able to PING the devices in the subnet from router, but am unable to ping them from any place else. [code]
My client has had to replace their ASA 5510. Upon importing the image to the brand new ASA they are unable to write to the flash.
They have run fcsk disk0: to no avail. show file system show 0 and 0 for Flash size and Free space on disk0.
Is there anything that can be done, short of formating flash and trying to reinstall the image? I have asked them to reload the ASA but they are reluctant to do so as they don't want the site to lose connectivity.
I have a cisco PIX-515e which i have connected to a emulator through the console port, and im having trouble erasing data from it.
I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
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 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.
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 )?
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?
We are in the process of implementing secondary ISP to our ASA firewall and We would like to run both ISPs in parallel so we can test until we finally cutover?
My current ASA 5525-X is licensed with Anyconnect premium = 2 and 750 "Other VPN" What does other mean? Also does this mean that only two clients with Anyconnect can use the ASA for VPN? Or is Premium different than Anyconnect alone?
Clients in both networks can reach internet, but they can't communicate with eachother. Hosts on the additional network can ping the ASA inside network IP, but nothing else. I get incomming hitcount for inside interface when 10.200.12.x tries to ping 10.200.31.x. In the error log, I see: [code]
I have a single production 5510 with 2 contexts. Now I want to integrate the secondary failover unit. My question is: How much configuration needs to be done on the secondary firewall? How much of the configuration will be sync'd from the primary to the secondary when the secondary is connected?
For example, do I need to add the following on the secondary or will it be sync'd from the primary?
admin-context NAME context NAME allocate-interface Ethernet0/0.14
I just purchased an ASA 5555 and started to configure. I was successful in natting all the IPs that are on the same subnet as the ASA eth0. I could not get the nat working for the 2nd address block.
IPsec VPN configured between ASA5525-X and Linksys RV042 ,While transfering some exe from ASA5525-X side to Linksys RV042 side over VPN hash-sum of this file changes, so, when you open transferred file, you have an error message "File is corrupted". If you try to transfer file from Linksys side, hash-sum is ok. Also, work with oracle application is interrupted because of unknown reason. IPsec works only if using router instead of ASA.
