Cisco Firewall :: VPN Setting Keep Dropping On ASA 5510?

Jan 23, 2012

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 firewall, my problem is that when the first VPN connections is established everything is good.  But when that connections is cancel or terminated due to non connectivity.  No one can connect to that firewall through that VPN unless that firewall is restarted.

Cisco Firewall :: 5510 / L2L Tunnel Keeps Dropping?

May 15, 2013

I have our main site using a Cisco 5510 running 8.4.2 code and a remote site using a Cisco 5505 running 8.4.2 code.  The main site has a T1 and the remote site is using a DSL connection.  About every other day I have to reset the connection at the remote site.  The process that I have found that works is to remove the nat statement, clear the cry ips sa and then add back the  nat statement.  The connection usually comes back up and a few minutes.  I am trying to see what is causing this to drop.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA-5510 Dropping Outbound SMTP Traffic?

Aug 21, 2011

A recently added outbound rule has left my SMTP communications broken. I have since removed the rule, and had Cisco do some damage control, but it's still dropping some of the SMTP traffic. I get a number of NDR messages each day like the one below:Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: RE: Christopher, Curt Sent: 8/19/2011 9:38 AM The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

I've attached an image of my configuration (ASDM GUI). The part of the image highlighted in green are the SMTP rules. The part highlighted in yellow is another rule that I added about a month ago to block a SYN attack. This rule may be part of the problem because of the order it is in the list. Not sure, though.
 
I have had two Cisco techs Putty into my ASA to check things out. I think they've done all they can. I wonder at this point if it be wise to just reload the last good running-config I have prior to the Outbound rule being added.

Cisco Firewall :: 5510 Inspect SIP Dropping Request Message Packets

Mar 17, 2011

I have 2 ASA 5510 firewalls at 2 different sites. Both running on version 8.0.4. Users are using an Instant Messaging type of application provided by a local telco here which is able to send and receive SMS using SIP (from the packet capture that I've done).
 
When users use the IM in site A, they are able to send and receive text messages via the IM from behind the firewall. However, when the users are in site B, users are able to send out text messages but not able to receive them.
 
I noticed that when I remove "inspect sip" from site-B's global policy map, users from site-B can successfully receive text messages. I have confirmed that it is the firewall that drops the packets as I have captured the inside and outside interfaces of site-B's ASA and I can see the incoming sip "request: MESSAGE" packet on the outside interface but I do not see the packet exiting the inside interface.
 
I have cross check both firewall configurations, and I do not see anything suspicious commands relating to sip that might cause this issue. Is there any command to troubleshoot why the sip inspection is dropping the sip packets on site-B?

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5510 - Setting Up ACL To Permit Access Only To The Nat Subnet?

Apr 9, 2012

setting up an ACL on my ASA 5510 to permit access only to the Nat subnet from inside to the outside interface. This firewall is setup for the DR solution in the production network. I am applying following acl in the inbound direction on the inside interface.
 
permit ip any "Nat_subnet"
 
After appliying this acl to inside interface I observed that I can ping to the destinations in NAT'ed subnet but unable to ssh to the servers. Following is the summary of my configuration.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5510 - Setting Up SMTP Port Block?

Mar 5, 2012

how to go about setting up the ASA to block any SMTP traffic outbound except for our Exchange Server. This is in relationship to a SpamBot issue that blacklisted us. I have an ASA 5510 running version 6.2(5) / 8.2(2) with three ports. DMZ, Inside and the Outside interface. Up till today, I only needed to block outside traffic to our internal network which I used the ASDM to configure a rule on the outside interface for an incoming rule. I am assuming I need to create an outgoing rule on the outside interface; however, just to make sure I understand the terminology/traffic flow, I created the rule with my computer as the source (192.168.0.131) with ALL destination and the service as HTTP. My logic, which seems to fail here, is that any traffic from my computer going outbound would be blocked; however I am still able to browse... That said, if I were to change the source as the Exchange server and the Service Type to SMTP, it would not actually block traffic and therefore not solve our problem.  I even gone as far as permitting traffic from my computer, expanding the hit counter and I see no hits.  So I am no doubt doing this wrong. What I do know, is when I first created the rule, a second rule was automatically created (Implicit rule) that deny all sources and blocked all HTTP traffic until I changed it to Permit?

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5510 - Setting Up Active And Standby Firewalls

Oct 14, 2011

I have a 5510 ASA and have been given another an told to make them active and standby.  Basically the active one is working great but the second one has no config on it apart from the default one, but is the same firmware level.  I guess I need a crossover cable, and what happens with the inside and outside interfaces, would they need to go into a vlan on a switch, one inside vlan where the 2 firewalls inside interface go into and another vlan for the outside?  Otherwise if it failsover to the standby ASA the inside and outside interfaces wouldn't work.

Cisco WAN :: Setting Up ASA 5505 Behind 5510?

Aug 14, 2011

My company has leased some office space to an outside company that handed me a 5505 and said "We want to VPN to our HQ through your Internet". I have two issues: I need this to work and I need to be able to access the 5505 from the management network. I don't care about the VPN aspect as much as making sure that I have basic communication down. I have everything configured per the diagram, but I can't ping the 5505 outside (Vlan 2) interface. I want to be able to configure and test the VPN setup on the 5505 from Putty on my PC.
 
The default route on the 5520 sends traffic to 10.10.1.1 and the default route on the 5510 sends traffic to the WAN interface. I added this route on the 5510:
 
outside 10.94.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.8.1
 
I still can't ping the default gateway on the 5505. There is a switch between my PC and the 5520 but the default route passes the traffic to the 5520. However on my tracert I don't even get to the 5520. What's going on here? Do I have to add a route to the switch just to manage the ASA 5505?

Cisco VPN :: 5510 - Setting Up Second VPN Connection

May 3, 2011

I have multiple offices that I want to vpn into one office....  So is there anything special I have to do to establish this....Or can i do the same set up for one office then copy those setting to the next office?

Office 1 - main office .........asa 5510......ip 111.111.111.111
Office 2 - remote office......asa 5505......ip  222.222.222.222

I want office 2 and 3 to be able to vpn into office 1.
 
Currently I have already set up the vpn connection for office 2 to office 1.  Everything works well with that so I know it is good! So could I basicly copy those setting to office 3?  Or is there some weird settings or anything I should do or avoid by now setting out office 3 to vpn into office 1??

Cisco :: Setting Up DHCP For VPN Clients On ASA 5510?

Jun 30, 2011

I'm trying to understand my options for assigning addresses to VPN clients on an ASA 5510. Under the ASDM, I have a field for DHCP servers, radio buttons: none, dhcp link, dhcp subnet, and field: client address pools. Cisco's VPN examples demonstrate setting up a client address pool, which I did, but the VPN client isn't assigned a gateway in the process so it can't connect to anything; I really don't understand the point of this. I'd like to create a DHCP pool on the ASA for VPN clients as this seems to be the standard configuration. However, I don't know where in the ASDM to configure this and how it's applied. The only DHCP options I found involved creating a DHCP server on an interface, which I don't want to do since VPN users aren't on a physical interface, right?

Cisco VPN :: Setting Up Two Separate 5510 At Two Different Locations

Nov 1, 2011

I'm setting up two separate 5510's at two seperate locations. The client wants two seperate SSL-VPN's; one for the HQ and one for the COLO location. They have a single domain for which I have added a-records to point to the corrosponding ASA's thusly: [code]
 
My questions is this: do i need to buy seperate certificates for each ASA/fqdn/IP combo? I'm using godaddy to buy the certs. If I do need to buy seperate certs, that makes the installation easier, but may waste $$. If I only need to buy one cert, how do I set it up so that both combo's are verified?

Cisco Firewall :: Pix 501 Dropping Devices From Network?

Nov 18, 2012

Recently I've pulled a PIX 501 out of a closet (having never been used) and configured it for a VPN with my PIX 506e at an offsite location. This offsite location has a PC, Printer, Access Point, and remote VOIP phone. The VPN itself works great, but periodically the PIX just drops some network devices, specifically the Access Point and the Firewall. Both devices stay off until I reboot it (through an SSH connection) they then spring back to life.

Cisco Firewall :: 4500 ASA Dropping NAT-T Traffic

Sep 3, 2012

I have an issue where my customer is only using the ASA as their firewall. When their internal users try to connect to a partner's site using a 3rd party IPSec solution it seems as if the return NAT-T traffic is being dropped. However when looking at the traffic the udp500 communication goes through, but the 4500 traffic hits the outside interface and then gets dropped.
 
I used the packet tracer command and the output is set to Allow. Also after initiating the vpn connection I see two udp connections (one for 500 and the other for 4500.
 
I cleared the asp table drop, and didnt see to see anything, I am waiting on the running config, and the customer is running ASA 8.4.
 
I used the capture tool on both interfaces (inside using the client ip, outside using the interface ip, both destined to the 3rd party vpn Headend). Here are the screeshots for this.
 
I went ahead and color coded the ip address. Green is the pre-nat inside Red is the destination for the VPN headend, and Blue is the PAT ip going out.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Connection Dropping

Jun 23, 2012

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 - 50 VPN edition.  I have baffling network issues that I have not been able to pinpoint and I recently started to think it may have something to do with my ASA.  I'm a network administrator and I have a Cisco ASA 5505 in my home network so I can learn how to manage Cisco ASA's and utilize the Easy VPN feature so I have a always on VPN connection into work to log into servers, etc.  I've been using the ASA for almost 6 months with the EasyVPN feature with no issues.  My ISP is Comcast.
 
Within the last week my connections have been randomly dropping for about 20 seconds and then reconnecting.  I have two computers on the network that have a direct ethernet run to the switch ports on the back of the ASA.  When the connection drops, I see my LAN icons completely lose connectively (yellow exclamation warning) then after 20 seconds, reconnect.  This is very random.  I was able to get it to happen every time I connected to XBOX live and play a online game.  It would almost on cue drop after 30 minutes of online gamming.  Here are the steps I have taken:
 
1. Replaced 10/100 switch to a brand new 10/100/1000 switch from computer run in my office to the ASA.
no joy
 
2. I upgraded the ASA to the most recent firmware: ASA Version 8.4, ASDM Version 6.4
no joy
 
3. I had an ethernet run under my carpet to the office, I started to  think that maybe one of the cables had an issue after walking on it and  vacumming causing a short.  I removed all the ethernet under the carpet and installed power line over ethernet adapter from the ASA to my office.
no joy
 
4. I checked both computers on the network for viruses.  All computers came back clean after scanning wth Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware.
 
5. I've watched the logs on the ASA as the LAN connection drops and I don't see error messages to troubleshoot this issue.
 
The only thing left to replace is the Comcast modem or the Cisco ASA.  The Comcast modem is newer and only about 1 year old (rented from Comcast).  Since my actual LAN connection drops and I lose connectively I believe there may be some issue with the ASA or the ASA switch ports or some sort of internal hardware issue on the ASA.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 8.2.4(4) Seems To Be Dropping Valid TCP SYN Packets?

Feb 28, 2012

We have a setup with a MS-TMG - ASA (8.2.4(4) in routing mode) - (internal) Router - FWSM - Router - Exchange with NLB.  We have now the problem that IMAPS is not really working through this setup. It works from internal (without ASA and TMG inbetween), but not reliably through the internet. There is a rule on the ASA which permits the ports from the TMG to the Exchange NLB address.We opened a case with Microsoft and they told us that not all tcp-syn packets are received by the Exchange server which were sent by the TMG.Thus I sniffed on the ASA with a packet capture and indeed, a lot of syn packets were on the interface to the TMG, but not anymore on the interface to the internal router.This ASA also filters all other internet<->company traffic, so there's a lot of stuff running.
 
Maybe it's dropped in the ASP, or is the capture maybe not valid?Here the show asp drop:

ASA01-Internet# sh asp drop
Frame drop:  Invalid TCP Length (invalid-tcp-hdr-length)                                  1  Reverse-path verify failed (rpf-violated)                                  319  Flow is denied by configured rule (acl-drop)                            477077  First TCP packet not SYN (tcp-not-syn)                                   10212  TCP data send after FIN (tcp-data-past-fin)                                 41  TCP failed 3 way handshake (tcp-3whs-failed)                               824  TCP RST/FIN out of order (tcp-rstfin-ooo)                                 1419  TCP SEQ in SYN/SYNACK invalid (tcp-seq-syn-diff)                             6  TCP SYNACK on established conn (tcp-synack-ooo)                              1  TCP packet SEQ past window (tcp-seq-past-win)                              821  TCP invalid ACK

Cisco Firewall :: Dropping Important Connections On 887VAMG?

Mar 5, 2012

I've got a problem on 887VAMG router. It drops important connections. As customer wants to have a firewall I created ACL and ip inspect rules ,but the router drops their connections to cloud and some websites are not opening. So I removed ACL and most ip inspect rules just to test if it effects that. And left only ip inspect http urlfilter. But still they have those problems, so I'm really stuck how to configure that firewall. The below some dropping connection review:

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Dropping UDP / 53 Traffic On Inside Interface?

Jul 21, 2012

We have a Cisco ASA 5505 (v7.2(3)) with a "fairly" normal configuration yet we have a problem where it appears UDP/53 traffic is denied on our inside network.
 
here is output from our sys log:

SyslogID   Source IP      Dest IP    Description
305006      172.18.22.3                   portmap translation creation failed for udp src inside:172.18.22.156/42013 dst inside:172.18.22.3/53
 
To give some clarification:

172.18.22.3      is one of our DNS servers
172.18.22.156  is a device we're experimenting with.
 
We've bypassed the Cisco by using a 4G wireless router with this same device - and it works flawlessly.Here is a [scrubbed] copy of our config. It is what I inherited from the previous admin - I'm not sure of all its finer points (I'm not Cisco certified -- perhaps I'm just certifiable.)

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 Dropping Internet Connection Randomly

May 24, 2012

One of our hospitals keeps reporting that their internet is going out for a while than comes back up, sometimes they even have to reset the ISP modem for this it to work again. I upgraded and switched ISP to Time Warner Cable and figured it would essentially solve the issue, but there are still reports of internet outage and our new ISP has confirmed multiple times that their end is still up. Our ASA 5505 was configured by a previous employee, but when looking at the running config I noticed that the Interface for our ISP is NOT set to Duplex Full and Speed 100.

Trying to add inside routes on an ASA 5505 to point traffic to another gateway for other connected networks is resulting in the following error 6Sep 16200 819:13:5810601510.184.236.1265003810.170.54.1823389Deny TCP (no connection) from 10.184.236.126/50038 to 10.170.54.182/3389 flags RST on interface insideI believe the problem is due to the Asymetric tcp connection and the ASA is dropping the connection because it only see one half of the traffic.Is there a way we can stop the firewall dropping the TCP connections on the inside interface? i've tried removing the threat managment which didnt work.Annoying thing is were putting the ASA 5505's in to replace old Watchguard soho firewalls only the watchguards forwarded the traffic no problem at all.

Cisco Firewall :: PIX 525 - Windows Server 2008 And PIX Packet Dropping?

Sep 6, 2011

I came across a situation where a client had an old PIX 525 running PIX 6.2.  There was a Windows 2008 R2 server running Exchange 2010 that was having trouble delivering email to a handful of email servers.  We then found out that we could telnet to these servers on port 25 but got no return traffic.  We then went back the old email server that was running Windows 2003 Server and could telnet to port 25 on these email servers and got a response, saw the banner and could issue commands.  The first thought was reverse DNS which we thoroughly checked and it was not.  I turned off the smtp fixup protocol and that didn't fix it either.  From workstations on the network running XP or Windows 7 or Linux you could telnet to these servers and you would get a response but just not with 2008 server.  I spent hours on the phone with Cisco support and it was determined that the packets were returning and we could capture the packets on the outside interface but they were then dropped by the firewall.  Using the 6.2 version of PIX we could not determine why the packets were being dropped.  I suggested upgrading to the next major version to be able to troubleshoot the issue further.  We then upgraded the PIX to version 7.0(8).  After the upgrade we were able to telnet to the problem mail servers from Windows 2008 Server and there were no issues. Is there a know issue with Windows 2008 Server and PIX 6.2?
