When users are VPN connected their telnet sessions timeout after an hour of inactivity. Looking at the connections on the firewall they are showing as idle. Is there a configuration change or something else that has to be modified?
View 2 RepliesI have inherited the support of an ASA5520 running 8.0(3)12 code and I believe I have a pretty simple question here that I haven't been able to figure out on my own. I have a few users that connect to the box via IPSEC VPN client connections. They want to be able to leave up a RDP based connection, for monitoring purposes, for a most of the day, but thier RDP connection keeps getting discounnted after a few hours. The VPN connection never gets disconnected, just the RDP session running through it. I have another box running 8.0(4) code and they can leave up the RDP sessions as long as they like without getting disconnected from the server(s). I have compared the configs of both boxes and don't see any glsring differences in regards to the configuration that would cuase the RDP sessions to either to stay up or be disconnected after an inactivity type scenario.
What to look for in regards to identifying the timer that is disconnecting the RDP session after a period of time.
I configured multiple vlan on my Cisco ASA5520. Everything work perfectly except RDP (3389) connections. The connections are established but but after a period of inactivity, the user is disconnected from server (black screen). The same problem happens with other type of connections (client/server), exemple : Oracle, file sharing. Before installing the ASA, computers and servers were in the same vlan and it worked well.
There's a notion of inter vlan timeout connection ?
I have a cisco asa 5520. i need to forward telnet to a router on the inside interface. Here is what i have done so far but it doesnt seem to be working.
I have created an access-list that looks like this:
access-list 102 extended permit tcp any host 10.10.60.2 eq telnet
But when do this it still doesnt forward my request to the router at 10.10.60.2 . So just to explain what im trying to do. I use Putty, i am putting the outside interface IP into putty, selecting telnet and opening the session. i need the outside interface to see this request and know to forward port 23 to the router on the inside interface with IP 10.10.60.2. The ASA is running version: asa842-k8.bin
I got 2 x 5520 ASAs configured in active/standby mode and they are connected to 2 x 4500 switches in which too configured for failover.Telnet to ASAs is allowed only via subnet 172.18.0.0./24
I can only ping and telnet to the active ASA from subnet 172.18.0.0./24 but not the standby But i can ping and telnet to both the active and standby ASAs within the 4500 switches.
What the command to prevent a telnet session to the 4400 controller from timing out is?

I have an ASA 5520 and I am having trouble getting the AnyConnect VPN authentication timeout feature to work properly. I thought I did have it working a couple of months ago, but right now it is not giving me more than the default 12 seconds. I have tried intervals of anywhere from 25 seconds up to 120. I am currently runnign version 6.4 on the ASA and AnyConnect 2.5.3055.

Per PCI & company policy all VPN users have a 12 hour session limit. They will disconnected after 12 hours regardless of use. Is there any way to send a message prior to the 12 hour limit to warn the users that they will be disconnected in x minutes? I'm running SSL VPN on a ASA 5520 ver 8.4(1)

In my configuration I've set the timers as follows:

My understanding is that for ASA 8.4.1 and prior, there's a vulnerability that opening many ssh sessions and one of them times out, the firewalls crashes!
As we have many customers with ASA using 8.2.5(26) (for example) I'd like a confirmation that for fixing that bug I need to upgrade my ASA image to at least 8.4.x.Case that, I believe that all the former firewall configuration must be reviewed because 8.2.x version has many different commands that 8.4.x (for example, NAT)
accessing my cisco ASA, last night we were doing VA on our ASA, after that iam not able to access it through ssh nor telnet. its not giving me any error.. i tried from different system also.

CONSOLE:
I've tried connecting from the PC's serial port to the units console port using Cisco's blue cable with no avail. All I get is a cursor but no response. I've tried using 9600,8,none,1,none as settings and I can sucessfully console a Cisco 1700 router with those same settings in Putty no problem, but it doesn't work with this Pix. I've also tried using other possible common speeds like 1200,1400,4800,19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 in case the firewall was set to use those and that didn't work either.

I recently had a firewall that wasn't passing traffic (ASA 5510 running software version 9.1).It turned out it had 130000 active connections. Doing a "clear conn port 53" dropped the active connection count back to 38k, and the firewall started passing traffic again.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 5505 for a small business that has one web server. The web server has a static NAT entry to an IP address and not an interface. There is an access rule allowing any HTTP traffic to the outside IP of the web server. From the web server I can't access the Internet.
All other computers on the network can access the Internet using a dynamic nat rule that uses the outside interface. The web server is accessible from a computer behind the firewall.
If I delete the static NAT entry for the web server I can get on the Internet.
I have turned debugging on and see that an outbound connection is built and then 30 seconds later the connection is torn down with the bytes 0 SYN Timeout message.

ASA 5505 8.4(2)
I would like to understand someting about the behaviour of ASA with our traffic scenario and the management of tcp sessions.
1) In particular we noticed that we have connections with the flags Fin without any acknowledgement. The session is silent (the bytes counters aren't incremented) but it remains in the session table as an established connection with the idle timeout of an established conn.
We have about 20% (60K on 300K total) of conns in this state: at our eyes it seems to be an incorrect behaviour...
TCP OUTSIDE 62.149.128.151:110 INSIDE 10.254.158.12:61527, idle 0:11:36, bytes 433, flags UFIO
TCP OUTSIDE 17.151.0.200:443 INSIDE 10.254.229.94:52367, idle 0:01:25, bytes 4597, flags UfIO
TCP OUTSIDE 184.169.79.33:443 INSIDE 10.255.249.146:60143, idle 0:10:39, bytes 5590, flags UFIO
TCP OUTSIDE 157.55.235.158:80 INSIDE 10.170.37.102:62421, idle 0:00:53, bytes 1770, flags UfIO
2) On the connections considered as half -closed we have received an ack to the fin (r or R flag is present), we would like to set the idle timeout to a value lower than 5 minutes but we were not able to reach that result
timeout pat-xlate 0:00:30
timeout conn 0:10:00 half-closed 0:05:00 udp 0:02:00 icmp 0:00:02
!
access-list timeoutClass extended permit tcp any any eq www
access-list timeoutClass extended permit tcp any any eq 8080
class-map timeoutClass

3) And this type of conns with a Fin on both side that I'm not able to understand... with an ack on one of the side how can I have the other fin??

We had an issue the other day where doing backups through the firewall (don't ask) caused the "control" session to timeout while the backups were still going on over the "data" connection. This broke the backup about two hours into the job. My first thought was that the backup solution vendor should implement some kind of tcp keepalive for the control connection. A packet capture showed they indeed were -- after 2 hours! Ah ha! Busted! How could they choose such a poor choice of TCP keepalive timer for their application that would not be compatible with the 60 minute inactivity timer that so many firewall vendors use (Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint and Fortinet all use a default 60 minute inactivity timer for TCP)?
Well, a colleague of mine pointed out that there is actually an old RFC that covers this. RFC 1122. It says:
Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or acknowledgement packets have been received for the connection within an interval. This interval MUST be configurable and MUST default to no less than two hours.
Now I know that RFC is old (October 1989), but that's all I could find. Is there something that supercedes that? Maybe common sense perhaps? I understand not wanting to fill up your connection table because of mis-behaving applications, but I'm just looking for ammunition to use against the backup solution vendor. Surely they're going to point to this RFC.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have ASA 5510 with 8.2.4 and 8.0.x OS and all seem to have common problem of idle TCP connections not timing out. The host to host connections are coming over VPN tunnels. I have default timeouts on all the firewalls. I have tried changing global timeouts and as well as host specific timeouts using MPF but doesn't work at all ! The problem is when TCP connections are sitting idle in conn table for days and when connection limit of 50,000 conns reach the firewall starts behaving unpredictably dropping packets or unresponsive! I need the unused idle connections to timeout which is NOT happening either by changing global values or MPF.
