I need your support for upgrading the Security context license on 5550, at present we have 5 Security context license installed in ASA but we want it to increased till 10 conctexts. I want to understand if we need to get addtional 5 Security context license or 10.
View 5 RepliesA simple question - I have ASA 5520s and was wondering what license is required to create multiple (more than default 2) security contexts.
The ASA already have ASA 5520 VPN Plus license.
Software Version 8.4(1)
Is it possivble to have 10 security licenses, license to a Cisco 5510 and have them transfeered to a Cisco5520?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with a context, I have two CISCO ASA 5550 (failover) and also we have the CISCO CSM to monitoring it, but since some weeks is showing a memory usage of 100% but then it drops until reach zero and then again the graphic goes up. This is the second time that the graphic shows this
I also check this on the CLI and i'ts fine because is showing the real percent, so my question here is why is showing this kind of behavior, I mean it was working fine before.
In the other hand I checked the secondary device and this is showing a 99% of used memory, but as the other one this graphic doesn't drop
I also checked via CLI and it says that it had the 99% memory used , Is there a way that i can put more memory on the context or what do you suggest that I can check on my firewalls.
I have a Failover pair of ASA5550's running ASDM 6.2(5) and ASA 8.2(2). Originally they were setup with 2 context's and an admin context but one of the contexts has now been removed. I would like to now migrate to single mode before I go about patching them to the latest software.

But when i create NAT in context B i get another i get error message like this "static overlaps with global in another context". I have checked there is same nat translation in context A and context B. My question is : is same nat translation configuration not allowed in context A and context B"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using packet-tracer for some time on and off with mixed results.
I'm running a multi context firewall with over 10 of the contexts sharing the same outside interface / network. All interfaces obviously have valid, unique IPs and also unique MAC addresses as mac-address auto is enabled in the system context.
This is an ASA 5550 running 8.3(2.10) interim so includes the fix for the well known packet-tracer classication failed bug.
So in theory, with firewall contexts on a shared interface the ASA should use the firewall MAC address to classify incoming traffic to the correct firewall and as far as I am aware, only fall back on using NAT to classify if the interface MACs are the same. In reality on my platform this doesn't seem to be happening and the classifier is using NAT to determine the destination context. I'm seeing this with live traffic (i.e. not generated by packet-tracer) in logs and can prove it by disabling certain NAT rules (there is some overlap with the IP addressing behind each firewall).
My question regarding packet tracer is this - in the above scenario with a shared outside interface, does packet tracer ALWAYS use NAT to determine the destination context? Or does packet tracer look up the MAC address of the ingress interface according to what context you are running packet tracer from? It appears that packet-tracer is using NAT in my case which could be just symptomatic of the potential bug I've described above rather than by design.
This is the situation I got to firewalls with failover and I need to upgrade the license so I can get more context (right now I have 5 context and I need 10) so I was looking at the procedure and I'm not sure If I need to restart the device or not. I was looking at this procedure:
Upgrading the License for a Failover using ASDM (No Reload Required) Use the following procedure using ASDM if your new license does not require you to reload. This procedure ensures that there is no downtime.
•1. On the active unit, choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and uncheck the Enable Failover check box. Now click Apply. The standby unit remains in a pseudo-standby state. Deactivating failover on the active unit prevents the standby unit from attempting to become active during the period when the licenses do not match. •
2. Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the active unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.•
3. Log into the standby unit by double-clicking its address in the Device List. If the device is not in the Device List, click Add to add the device. You might be prompted for credentials to log in.
4. Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the standby unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.
5. Log into the active unit again by double-clicking its address in the Device List. Choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and re-check the Enable Failover check box.
6. Click Apply. This completes the procedure.link: [URL]
But then I checked on the cisco web page that there are some license that need to reload I see this:
All models
#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.
[URL]
So I just want to know if I'm UPGRADING from 5 to 10 context the reload applies to my situation or not?
I have a firewall module in a Switch Catalyst 6500. I wan to upgrade its context capacity to a greater capacity. When I looked it in the Dynamic configuration, it send me following number parts:
FR-SVC-FWM-VC-T1=
FR-SVC-FWM-UPGR1=
The first one is the license to have 20 context and the next one is upgrade from 20 context to 50 context. My problem is that I haven't could find a service support contract associate them.I want to know if they have or not service contract, because I can´t find them.
According to Cisco, one of the ASAs must have an Unrestricted License [URL]:
"On the PIX/ASA Security appliance platform, at least one of the units must have an unrestricted (UR) license. The other unit can have a Failover Only Active-Active (FO_AA) license, or another UR license. Units with a Restricted license cannot be used for failover, and two units with FO_AA licenses cannot be used together as a failover pair."I am unfamiliar with the different ASA licenses, so with my current license, I am unable to enable failover on my two ASAs. Here is a snippet of the "show version" output on one of my ASAs (they are the same as far as licenses go):
Licensed features for this platform:Maximum Physical Interfaces : UnlimitedMaximum VLANs : 250Inside Hosts : UnlimitedFailover : Active/ActiveVPN-DES : EnabledVPN-3DES-AES : EnabledSecurity Contexts : 5GTP/GPRS : DisabledSSL VPN Peers : 10Total VPN Peers : 5000Shared License : DisabledAnyConnect for Mobile : DisabledAnyConnect for Cisco VPN Phone : DisabledAnyConnect Essentials : DisabledAdvanced Endpoint Assessment : DisabledUC Phone Proxy Sessions : 2Total UC Proxy Sessions : 2Botnet Traffic Filter : Disabled
This platform has an ASA 5550 VPN Premium license.
What's the difference between VPN Plus license and Security Plus license. I have new 5520 shipped with VPN Plus license.Also does it require a seperate license for Anyconnect for Mobile and AnyConnect Essentials.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat are the new features added or going to be available on the 8.5 release on the ASA. Would this release "finally" support VPN on multi security context mode.
By the sounds of things looks like every other major vendor supports this feature except Cisco.
I have a ASA 5510 and planning to implement multiple context in a 2 tier security level and vrf-lite. meaning I have 2xASA facing the internet and below that a 2x3560 switch for our extranet and below that is another 2xASA for intranet. See diagram below. In this kind of network I want to know how it would impact the total throughput and resources of the ASA using multiple context?

I have a active-active setup with 2 cisco asa 5585x running 8.4 - the boxes ahve each 2 sec context's build-in - which gives 4 sec context in the cluster. I have 2 x 5 extra licenses (2 x ASA5500-SC-5) which I haven't applied yet - will this give me a total of 10 or 14 security contextes? I am a bit in doubt because if I only get 10 sec contextes in this cluster then could I instead get a single 10 security context license (1 x ASA5500-SC-10) and add this - hereby I would get 12 then.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy corporate internal network is currently fire walled by an FWSM module on a 6513 switch. We have each security zone (we have eight) assigned to a FWSM context and have ACLs set up between the contexts and the enterprise LAN/WAN. Is it possible to support fire walling between these zones within a single security context? The reason I am asking is that we would like to purchase a second FWSM for use as a standby, but do not want to cough up the ~ $12K for the context license. We will ultimately be transitioning to ASAs for internal security, so do not want to spend more than we need to.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn my production environment I have a firewall with already two contexts defined (15% of CPU used) and I want to add a new one.
This context is going to use the same interfaces as the others contexts. When I will enable the context, can I have some sort of repercussion on these two context ?
I have two ASA 5510 in an Active/Active failover configuration; On the first ASA I have a license for five security contexts, on the second one I have the default two. On the pair I configured seven security contexts and everything works as expected; so far so good. Let's suppose now that the first ASA (the one with the license for 5 contexts) goes up in smoke; all the contexts migrate to the surviving firewall and life is still good. But what happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot the second ASA before the first one is repaired? My guess is that it will come up with just its own license for two contexts and that I will not be able to operate all my virtual firewalls.
