Got an ASA 5505 with the standard 256MB memory. I recently upgrade from 8.2.5 to 8.4.4, and converted over the NAT rules. Problem is, I'm now running very low on memory (RAM): [code]
The ASA doesn't do anything too fancy. Just 1 VPN and 4 inside hosts. Is there any easy way to free up memory, or do I just have to bite the bullet and upgrade to 512MB?
I am trying to get experience with 8.4 code on my 5505. I purchased a Cisco 512MB memory upgrade and installed it. It booted up once and I thought I was ok. I then looked down and noticed that all lights were blinking on the front panel and I had no console access.

I have DSL 8Mbps DL and 768kbps UL,Internet -> Modem -> Cisco Router -> Firewall -> Switch Core - > Multiple switches like sfe2000p,CiscoRouter: i use port gig0/1 for PPPoE and i use port gig0/2 for LAN static,Router port gig0/2 with 122.54.144.153/29 connected directly to Firewall port13 with 122.54.144.154/29,i want 122.54.144.153/29 will my default gateway,Please include no limit bandwidth,filter etc at router, Firewall will be DHCP Server and control the bandwidth, filtering etc and the client computer should get 8Mbps.

I am using asa845-k8.bin. The firewall boots and runs file until you issue the reload command. The system shuts down but never reloads.

Am I going to just simply Flash my 610 to default , disconnect it and pack it away , Setup my new E4200 , Plug in my E3000 into port 1 and go about giving it a separate IP Addy? Or can I expect a **bleep**? Any setup tips?
Wirelessly I am running 2 laptops , a PS3 , Xbox 360 , Epson printer , a picture frame and Samsung Blue Ray and TV, and on occasion 2 android phones. On the Wired side (Ethernet) I have a Sling Box , a Desktop , and the router up in the shop. This is the normal load and never everything all at once (Although it has been done).
i have cisco ASA 5510 Firewall using in my network, i have planning to upgrade the Flash memory from 256 mb to 512 mb and the RAM from 256 mb to 1GB.

I noticed in all my deployments, regardless if it's during peak hours or after office hours, the memory utilization is always consistent 11MB utilized over the total of 16MB(memory default size).

This is 30mins after a restart. Seem like it gets worse and worse until i cant even connect to the ASDM.
I have Tried turning off loggin as well as some connection timeout commands.
I am looking at upgrading an HA pair of ASA5520's from 8.2(2) to 8.3(1), and am just wondering why the huge upgrade in memory is needed. How are Cisco justifying where the additional memory is going to? Are there supposed to be some massive improvements in performance?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCome across pix 525 with 7.2.4 , 256 MB RAM, experienceing high memory utilization ?.show memory was giving used memory = 97%.All I had done was, i did a reboot of the firewall since we were not able to take the control of the f/w.I wonder why only the standby f/w had this issue and not the primary does not have, just to rule out that it was not due to Traffic.I have searched in bugtool kits and support forums and did not find anything relevant except for a similar issue for ASA CSCsg43844.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to add memory to my ASA 55xx's (running 8.2(2)), some of which are config'd active/active or active/standby. The docs say that ram must be identical, which makes sense for production. My question is this: can I upgrade the standby units first, make them active, and then upgrade their mate? Or must I schedule downtime to take the pair down for the upgrade?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded our ASA5540 to 8.4, THEN noted the increased requirements for Memory. I purchased the 2Gig upgrade, but when installing in the Primary unit today, noted that there were 4 slots. Slots 1/3 had 512Mb modules, so I installed the 2 x 1Gig modules in slots 2/4.
The ASA5540 came up clean, and it "sees" the entire 3Gig of memory.
My question: Is this a SUPPORTED configuration? All documentation I have read only mentions 2Gig of memory. Also, If I had FOUR x 1Gig memory modules, would the ASA5540 support the 4Gigs of memory?
I am using a Pix515E with 8.0(3) and 128MB RAM. It ran OK for months but has recently had several episodes during which it produced streams of memory allocation failures (syslog 211001). When in this condition I could not log into the VPN. It was still operating but some users were having problems and I eventually had to restart it.
The traffic load is typically 10Mbps, and the max number of connections is around 10,000 but typically 5,000. The CPU usage is 10%-20%. There is 1 VPN with normally 1 client. The memory usage is always high, between 115MB and 120MB but during these problems it creeps higher.
Why might the memory usage be so high when my network load is quite light for the 515E? What circumstances cause the memory usage to increase during operation? Is there anything I can do to prevent the memory usage increasing to the point where the PIX crashes?
I have a second 515E with 8.0(4)32 and 64MB RAM, loaded with the same config. I have not had this one in service, but off-line it is using 53MB of memory. If the spare pix needs 53MB to load the firmware and my config, why does the other one use 115MB?
We had two PIXes in our environment and working as a active-failover mode. Its noted in now a days the active PIX memory utilization is 98% and for standby PIX it is 96%. And also in some times we were experiencing packet loss to the ip of active PIX and which reflects in the inside servers access also. During that time the active pix was not accessible via ssh as well as ASDM. We have tried reloading the PIX and changing failover state of the PIX, but it results only a temporary solution. Current memory installed is 128 MB (maximum upgraded), so a upgrade is also not possible. Please see the show command outputs from the PIX. Current Software version is 7.2(4)
sh memory output (PIX 1 - active)
Free memory: 4850944 bytes ( 4%)
Used memory: 129366784 bytes (96%)
[code]....
1) How we can pin point the root cause of this high memory utilization?
2) What might be the reason for the high memory utilization for the standby pix (96%), still the PIX is in idle state?
3) Is it a hardware issue or a memory leak issue, then how can we find out?
4) Is a software upgrade to new version resolves the memory issue?
We want to run ASA 8.4.x on an old ASA5540. We need to upgrade its memory to 2 GB with the following memory upgrade: ASA5540-MEM-2GB=
I suspect that we will completely remove the existing 1 GB of memory and replace it with 2 GB. If this is the case, can I use this 1 GB of memory removed from the ASA5540 and put it in a ASA5510 instead of buying a ASA5510-MEM-1GB= for the ASA5510?
We recently added about 400 users to our network for a total of 1000. Looking at the ASDM we are holding very tight to 75% utilization and we have 256mbs. This is also running IOS 8.2(1). Our firewall recently crashed after a major download was forced through it. This was after only being booted up for about a week. We had reloaded it a week prior after having ran it for about a year without issue. We havent made any changes in the last month other than adding more users to our network.

Are the ASA memory DIMMs created for specific models? Would a 1GB 5510 Memory stick work in a 5520?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried last night to upgrade the memory in my old 5510. It's about 5 years old and has the single memory socket. I followed the instruction included in the kit:
Mfr. Part#: ASA5510-MEM-1GB
I did wear an ESD wrist strap (genuine Cisco at that!) and ensured the memory was fully seated, the handles locked in.Upon restarting the ASA, for over 15 minutes, it stayed in mode: Power LED steady, Status LED flashing, other LEDs off. No response to attempts to SSL via Putty. I powered it off, verified the memory was indeed fully seated, and re-installed the original 256 MB module. It powered up normally in less than 5 minutes. Is there anything else to try before returning the memory? Tonight, I can try the same new memoy module and see if it works.
When I try to save the configuration it displays the following error.Is it due to insufficient memory?

I got an asa5510. After problems with ipsec connections the log said :
LU allocate xlate failed this error repeats every minute. At the cisco site i found the following :
explantion : stateful failover failed to allocate a translation (xlate) slot record recommended Action : check the available memory by using the show memory command to make sure that the security appliance had free memory in the system. If no memory is available, add more memory
But when i do there is free memory. (about 54%)
What can i do to fix this ?
Is there a way of ascertaining whether my 5510's have 1 memory slot or 4 memory slots without having to open the chassis?

I'm having a problem with the memory and also trying to create some rules on the CISCO ASA. The version that I got installed was the 8.2.5.33 on a CISCO 5520 with 512 RAM, the memory usage is on 99% used, 1% free and because of that when I'm trying to create a new rule the firewall brings me the next error..So what I did was a downgrade to the version 8.2 (4) 4 and the memory went down a little (82% used, 18% free) but I still got the error when I'm creating an access rule on the device. One thing and I'm not sure if this could affect on the performance are the number of access list and the object groups that are created.
I already open a case with CISCO TAC and they are checking if the problem is with the memory capacity or maybe a memory leak.Also the doubt that I got is with the memory that I got now available should I can create access rules or 82 is still to hig to create a rule or and object group?
I am currently getting a strange error when trying to use and crypto services on our ASA 5520 (8.0.3)Initially I observed that a connected VPN had dropped.Then when I attempted to use ASDM or SSH I was blocked.
In the end I opened telnet as a test and this was successful. Syslog also shows that traffic is passing as normal.The only obvious error I can see when observing various debug traces is this;
FW02# CTM: rsa session with no priority allocated @ 0xCF1FBBA0
CTM: Session 0xCF1FBBA0 uses a nlite (Nitrox Lite) as its hardware engine

I Have asa 5520 with the code 8.0, the mem shows 94% and the CPU shows 85%
