Cisco Firewall :: Cannot Activate Failover On Asa 5580
Sep 27, 2011
I got a problem with a cisco asa 5580 like two days ago and the device stop working (there was a mainteinance window and after that the device didn't work). Now we receive the RMA and we are trying to configure the failover so the new device get the configuration form the one that is working.
But this is the message that I gettin:
Failover message decryption failure. Please make sure both units have the same failover shared key and crypto license or system is not out of memory
We already changed the shared key and crypto license but the failover is still down, what are the features that the cisco need to activate to enable the failover?

I have encountered a problem in one of customer that the Active ASA 5580 is unable to sync with Standby Failover ASA. When Active is connected with FO and push the configs to it will not find the ethernet/Gig interfaces due to which the all the configuration were not applied and when the primary ASA the secondary is unable to respond.
When i attached console with the Standby ASA i have seen this error.
Number of interfaces on Active and Standby are not consistent.If the problem persists, you should disable and re-enable failover on the Standby.
For detail undestanding i am attaching the configs of primary and standby ASA. The KHI-DR-ASA-BB-01 is the standyby firewall.

If we switch from primary to secondary firewall the interfaces on the secondary go to state waitung than to failed. after awhile the secondary gives the control to the primary.
it seem that traffic passes the secondary firewall during this short failover time . we have several context created on the firewall, Switch Ports checked , cabeling check everythink checked
blackhole Interface inside (10.255.102.134): Normal (Waiting)
blackhole Interface shared (10.255.102.134): Normal (Waiting)

Preparing to upgrade the IOS on a failover pair of ASA 5580's and was wandering what is gonna happen after I've upgraded the IOS on the standby unit and rebooted. How is the active unit going to react when it sees an IOS mismatch prior to me making the standby the primary and upgrading it's IOS ?

I have a strange issue with certificate based authentication anyconnect. We have an ASA with two internet links, both have a CA authenticated Cert for anyconnect VPN’s. We have an anyconnect client profile also, when we simulate a link failure on the ASA the anyconnect should automatically attempt a re-connect to the backup server list in its configuration (which is the other interface on the ASA 5580) which it does but we get a certificate trust error.

We are going to impliment Spectrum (CA) in my network,i have ASA-5580-20 firewall now my spectrum server want to communicate with firewall,then only it will discover the firewall logs.Now the problem is my spectrum server is in MZ zone(10.10.10.45) security leval is 70 and my inside interface(10.20.20.101) security leval is 100.
I am unable to ping from spectrum server to firewall because of high security leval.How can i solve this problem,can i change my inside security leval to 69 then i think it will ping.

We are using Cisco ASA 5580 (8.2) firewall. When i try to ping from inside lan to firewall DMZ interface IP it is not pingable and but from inside users i am able to ping firewall inside interface IP address.
I think we can't ping to other interfaces of ASA by default. But can we allow the single IP address who can ping all the interfaces of firewall?
We are not doing any natting in firewall, for that we used the Load Balancer.

we are going to upgrade our 5580 ASA Cluster from 7.2 to 8.2 and want to do it like this way ( which worked for all 7.x upgrades ) :download asa8.2 Image to primary + secondary Firewallreboot primary ( message come up " mate version ...)reboot secondary.Does it works any experience? Does it work if both firewall can see each other during the boot process ?
Do I have to bring the secondary into the monitor mode so the fw is not visible for the primary ?

i'm new with the asa's...i'm familiar with the FWSM's on 6500's and pix..I'm running Version 8.3(2) and i wanted to setup nat-control and use of identify nats for advertising inside subnets to my outside networks.
the old command was static(inside,outside) 10.x.x.x 10.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.x i'm having a little difficulty decyphering the pdf about the static nat...the command itself is no longer used, nat-control is no longer used, but i'm not quite sure what the equivalent nat command is that equates to the old static inside,outside command.

We got a replacement ASA 5580 from Cisco. We were not aware of PAK, Is there any other possible to generate Activation key? Can we generate PAK or Activation Key using SO (service order) number?

We have a Cisco ASA 5580 and the outside interface has a public IP address and we noticed we can ping this address from the Internet. I did a packet capture on the outside interface and confirmed the pings and the IP address sending the pings. The 5580 does not have an access list allowing icmp so I'm not sure what is allowing the pings to this interface.

We are going to setup a L2L VPN with a vendor and they asked us to NAT a couple IP addresses for remote access to a couple of servers on our inside network. Our device is an ASA 5580 with version 8.1 and we have a handfull of public IP addresses for use if needed. The vendor's remote network is a public IP address but for this posting I will use 192.168.10.0. Our inside servers are 10.100.10.20 and 10.100.10.30. Because 10.100.10 is in use with another customer they asked us to NAT 10.77.97.20 and 10.77.97.30 to the two inside servers.

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 asa5580 with multiple interfaces. To replicate me databases to another site, I mainly use two interfaces on that firewall. Those interfaces have a steady pace, around 95%.
I am wondering when I should consider that the thoughput between those two interfaces is too much? Is there a good document that could explain me clearly why?
Also I want to be sure that I won't affect the normal traffic between the other interfaces. Is there a way to garantee certain traffic over others on an ASA? I don't have any router in me setup layer 3 role is perform by asa firewalls (static routes).

We use multiple ASA 5500/5580 cluster systems running 8.3 software versions.Actually we send all our FW syslog data to a SIEM appliance in a DMZ on a remote firewall (non-asa). Recently we suffered a strange incident while implementing a new SIEM collection station now situated in a dmz that is located on one of the ASA contexts. We redirected the syslog streams to the new client for one of the contexts on the ASA cluster that holds the new SIEM agent DMZ..since we did this and redirected the syslog we see double traffic and spoofing errors on that context
a/ the ASA keeps sending out the syslog traffic to the OLD SIEM agent server ip (there is however no trace of its ip in the config)
b/ the traffic leaving the interconnection interface towards the OLD SIEM agent gets a SPOOFING error on the traffic
c/ strangely the data gets also correctly forwarded to the new SIEM collection stations.
We started out with redirecting traffic on only one of the 5 contexts to the new environment and kept logging the others to the old system.I finally got out of the issue by reconfiguring al the other contexts to forward their syslog towards the same new server , since that moment we no longer have the double logging and spoofing error , all syslog traffic goes correctly to the new SIEM agent. It looked like some remenants of the old syslog config remainded on the asa event after deleting and introducing a new config line (we used the asdm to execute the action) as said either it kept the old config or it looked in the other context and "decided" to keep sending to the old server also mentioned in that syslog can find the behaviour in any buglists either way.

we are observing the no. of conn thru asa 5580 is getting increased and one a fine day it will stop sending/receiving traffics.firewall# show conn count 1900000 in use, 2000008 most used As per the datasheet of this asa, the max conns permissible is 2 million (20 lacs). and the output shows that currently 1900000 connections are there and 2million+8 connections are most used.when i run " show local-host | include host|count/limit ", below are the outputs showing for max connections..
local host: <172.x.x.x>,
TCP flow count/limit = 35857/unlimited
TCP embryonic count to host = 25
UDP flow count/limit = 0/unlimited
local host: <DC01>, TCP flow count/limit = 306/unlimited TCP embryonic count to host = 8 UDP flow count/limit = 736807/unlimited
local host: <DC02>, TCP flow count/limit = 246/unlimited TCP embryonic count to host = 2 UDP flow count/limit = 582010/unlimited
local host: <172.y.y.y>, TCP flow count/limit = 1/unlimited TCP embryonic count to host = 0 UDP flow count/limit = 308412/unlimited
These are the top 4 connections, i wonder should we consider only the tcp flow count or udp as well ?

We have a 5580 that we want to connect to each of our 7K's as an internal firewall. To minimize hassle, we will setup the ASA in transparent mode.I have been working on this all day today and have run into a stopping point. If I put vlan 20 on a subinterface on Te7/0 which will connect to N7K_1 it works great. When I try to put that same vlan on Te7/1 which connects to N7K_2, I get an error that says the vlan is already assigned to another interface.Our local Cisco SE told us that this would work.
My problem is that not all of our servers/systems are dual homed to both 7K's so I have to be able to get this to work because of potential asymmetric routing issues that we will be dealing with.How to get the 5580 to work in this configuration and can you share your config with me ?Using the redundant interface command isnt an option because I need for both interfaces to be able to route over both 7K's at all times.

I want to privatize the outside interfaces of my ASA firewalls however I need a public IP address bound to an Interface to support L2L and client VPN (using the Cisco client software). What I'd like to do is route to the firewall privatized outside interface and have a DMZ interface with a public IP address on it for VPN peering. Ideally this would allow me to build rules on the outside interface limiting communication to the DMZ interface to IPSEC only. Thus VPN tunnels would traverse the outside interface and terminate on the DMZ interface giving me granular control of the peers and protocols allowed to the each the DMZ interface.

I'm trying to activate the DMZ interface on a restricted license ASA 5505 but I get an error when I try to ADD the interface. The message says "With the current license device will only supports 2 fully functional interfaces. Third interface can be added,but the traffic from this interface to another interface need to be blocked. Please make appropriate selection in advanced tab." I gather that I have to define the limitation myself? The problem is that I can't access the advanced tab because of the error. Can I do something via CLI to get through? I'm using ASA 8.2 and ASDM 6.2.
