I should upgrade ASA 5550 with nat controller enabled, from 7.2 to 8.x, I've been reading nat is differently configured up from release 8.3. So I choosed to upgrade to 8.2 release.
View 3 RepliesI have a couple of ASA5520 and ASA5550, and I wanted to know if it is worth it to upgrade the software from 8.2(4) to 8.2(5)? Because of the RAM I cannot upgrade to 8.3 for now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ASA5550, with a IOS version 8.2(5).
I would like to upgarde to the latest version, and I believe it is 9.1.1.
I am planning the upgrade of an ASA 5550 Active/Passive cluster from 8.0 to 8.2 according to the "zero downtime upgrade" documentation available in the web.
I do not have another cluster for comprehensive testing, but I executed a simple migration procedure on a tiny 5505 and neither licensing features nor the configuration (the command sintax) were affected by this process. I know this is something to care about if you go to 8.3, but this is not my case.I browsed the release notes of 8.2(5) and no special disclaimer was found by me with respect to this release. So everything should work just fine, but I would like to double check for input with respect to these two subjects:
1.Will the licensed features (vpn, concurrent connections, etc) be preserved?
2. Will the configuration be preserved ?
Since the "zero-downtime upgrade" is not supported, I would like to validate the process I put together for upgrading a failover pair of asa5550 with the characteristics below. Specifically I am concerned with the role of the standby during the upgrade. This is my setup:
.- single context mode
.- active/standby
.- current firmware asa821-k8.bin / asdm-621.bin
.- role: firewall and VPN concentrator for segmented server farm network. Dynamic/static/exemption NAT heavily used.
My target is asa842-k8.bin / asdm-645.bin and I am doing a two step upgrade (8.2(1) -> 8.3(1) -> 8.4(2)) to avoid the "unidirectional" attribute and CSCtf89372 bug issues. This is a short version of what I have in mind:
.- Verify stability of failover pair and make adequate backups before beginning.
.- plug into the console of active, ssh into active and standby.
.- vpn/act(config)# no failover ( disable failover from active )
[Code]....
After reboot, point to 8.4(2) and reload again. Same concern regarding the standby unit.
I understand there might be configuration tweaks needed to the NAT configuration. After second reboot test connectivity and if successful, on active "failover", "write standby" and "failover reload-standby". Otherwise "downgrade" and back to the drawing board.
i have configured cisco LAP1240 in H-Reap Mode for multiple branch offices with Local switching and central authentication. one of the branch's AP does not join the controller in HQ while the others are all ok. i have firewall only in HQ, i did priming first for all APs like let them join the controller and configure controller IP in high availbility, and H-Reap config and assign SSID to map with the branch local vlan. when i faced this issue first time i brought back ap and configure a static IP address for AP than recheck them again but the problem still same. since i have only one firewall in the network and also other branches joined the controller through that firewall and no issues.

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.

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.
I have a wireless controller that works perfect but because we have some new access-points 1602i that is only supported bij software version 7.4.100.0. So I need to upgrade the controller because I now have version 7.0.116.0. I have read in release notes of version 7.4.100.0 that I first need to upgrade to 7.0.240.0 to avoid losing those VLAN settings.
Note If you have VLAN support and VLAN mappings defined on H-REAP access points and are currently using a 7.0.x controller software release that is prior to 7.0.240.0, we recommend that you upgrade to the 7.0.240.0 release and then upgrade to 7.4.100.0 to avoid losing those VLAN settings.
But I also read something about Field Upgrade Software. If you are using a Cisco 2500 Series controller and you intend to use the Application Visibility and Control (AVC) and Net Flow protocol features, you must install Wireless LAN Controller Field Upgrade Software for Release 1.8.0.0-FUS. This is not required if you are using other controller hardware models. For more information, see [URL] .....
Here is the system information of my controller:

Cisco Controller Product Version.................................. 7.0.116.0Bootloader Version............................... 1.0.16Field Recovery Image Version..................... 1.0.0Firmware Version.................................

I was thinking of the following steps:
1. Backup the current config
2. Upgrade to version 7.0.240.0
3. Test and backup the config
4. Upgrade to version 7.4.100.0
5. Test and backup the config
6. Upgrade Field Upgrade Software 1.8.0.0
7. Test
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.
