ASA have two context groups say admin and and x. Its interface gi0/2 has 6 subinterfaces from 1 to 6.3 subinterfaces ----0/2.1 to 3 are in admin and last 3 are in context x.when i went to system context it does not show where interface gi0/2 belongs to it only shows up up.how can i find which context group physical interface gi0/2 belongs?
View 4 RepliesI am setting up a new pair of ASA 5585's in a multi-context, active/active failover design. I cannot create management SSH connection to the contexts that are assigned to failover group 2. With all the security contexts that are assigned to failover group 1 I can SSH to the inside interface IP and login without a problem. When I try to do that to the group 2 contexts there is no response from the firewall at all, PuTTY just times out.
My firewalls are running version 8.2(4). The contexts seem to be functioning normally in all other respects.
I enabled snmp config ASA 5505 with Version 7.2(4), the NMS/reporting system can give graphs for CPU & Memory usages. But I can't see any elements about physical interfaces.

I found a lot of information out there but some seems to conflict one another.What are the things I need to look out for - caveats? Does the clients that connect to the VPN had to use different clients once the FIPS was enabled.Do we need to recreate logical interfaces for each physical interface we have?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my production environment I have a firewall with already two contexts defined (15% of CPU used) and I want to add a new one.
This context is going to use the same interfaces as the others contexts. When I will enable the context, can I have some sort of repercussion on these two context ?
I have two ASA 5510 in an Active/Active failover configuration; On the first ASA I have a license for five security contexts, on the second one I have the default two. On the pair I configured seven security contexts and everything works as expected; so far so good. Let's suppose now that the first ASA (the one with the license for 5 contexts) goes up in smoke; all the contexts migrate to the surviving firewall and life is still good. But what happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot the second ASA before the first one is repaired? My guess is that it will come up with just its own license for two contexts and that I will not be able to operate all my virtual firewalls.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have five 877 routers connected to ADSL circuits provided by Vodafone. Each has a VPN tunnel back to a PIX.
Occasionally one of the sites will lose it's connection to the PIX.
When we check the log, we find entries like these:-
Apr 5 01:31:54.085 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to downApr 5 01:33:19.344 UTC: %CRYPTO-
[Code].....
As you can see, the physical interface (ATM0) is not being reported as changing state to down, neither is the Dialer interface.
When the router is in this state we have to SSL to the public IP address of it and manually restart the ISAKMP SA.
When the router sees the ATM interface go down and subsequently come back up, the VPN connection to the PIX also recovers.
So - in a long winded way I think I'm asking....why does the Virtual interface go down and is there anything I can do to stop it happening?
When using Cisco IOS c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-50.SE3.bin we can delete line in SNMP group config with

I have a network with Two 3800 Cisco Routers as Central and many Cisco 2811 Router as Branches. Now I set two Tunnel on each router connection Interface FastEthernet from each 2811 to SubInterface Fastethernet on 3800. I set OSPF as Routing Protocol and I configure QOS on Tunnel connections. Then I have a safe connection with backup connection between 3800 Router and each 2811 Router. Now I want to set VPN with IPSEC and Certification Authentication with CA Server for Security all connection. I set IPSEC and ISAKMP and Certificate on each Router and Set Dynamic VPN on Cisco 3800 Router and Static VPN on each Cisco 2811 Router. Now when if I configure tunnel with Crypto map, it works correct and all packets are encrypt. But if I try to set crypto on physical Interface(because I want to set qos on tunnel then protect packets on physical interface) however all packets are routed but crypto and encrypt d o not work. Set qos on tunnels and crypto on fastethernet interface.

According to restrictions for this feature, I cannot apply per-tunnel QoS in conjunction with interface based QoS. This means, I can provide shaping with hierarchical CBWFQ for each spoke, but I cannot guarantee anything on physical interface! What if there are services in native MPLS? I am also unable give reservations for BGP which is used on PE-CE link! How about monitoring spoke PE-CE links natively? I can only apply policy-map with class-default on physical interface. When I add anything related to queuing for that class (or any other non-default class) I get the message:

I have my wan connection on the eth0. The bandwidth is 2mbps. I am running qos on that interface saying 192.168.200.0/24 can use 80% of the bandwidth and 192.168.201.0/24 can use 20% of the bandwidth. I Also have vtun VPN inteface to our branch office. I also wan to run some qos on that interface. How do i go about allocating the bandwidth on this interface? it is actually going via the eth0 interface, but the system actually see's it a an independent interface on its own right, so it requires it's own qos policy.

I have at the moment an ASA5510 pair in Multiple Context configured. Everything is ok, but we use til now only ACL features.Now I would be interested in configuring 2 contexts, with IPSec VPNs. One VPN per context. But I cannot find any information if it would be possible to use a shared interface for both contexts. My wish would only be to spare public IPs.If I have to configure 100 VPNs in 100 contexts, do I need 100 public IPs ?

how to configure this. I did it in the past but kind of forgot how I did it.I have a stacked 3750 (two physical switches) connecting to a 2960.
I am creating trunk ports with limited access to VLAN 300, 600, and 700.
There is two interfaces connected from the 3750's(one on each physical stack member) to the 2960.I have the physical interfaces configured exactly the same.
3750 Config:
interface Port-channel2

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1, 300,600,700
switchport mode trunk

Should I keep the configuration on the physical ports and not configure the Port-Channel Interfaces? Do I need to configure port-channel load balancing? Is the channel-group mode sufficient? Goal is to basically create 2 links to the 2960 to double the bandwidth and provide redundancy.
Is it possible to use 1 or 2 of the 4 gigabit ethernet ports from one ACE straight into the other ACE for redundancy? So ACE_01 gig0/4 to ACE_02 gig0/4.If so, is it a case of just having the layer 3 config instead of trunking etc..Also - is it possible to create a context within the same vlan as the Admin context?

What are the new features added or going to be available on the 8.5 release on the ASA. Would this release "finally" support VPN on multi security context mode.
By the sounds of things looks like every other major vendor supports this feature except Cisco.
I am currently working with ASA 5585 with several contexts. What is the percentage of the CPU used per context. I already have the opportunity to do it for the whole ASA (context admin) using the SNMP mib CISCO-PROCES but, unfortunalty, this mib doesn't allow us to know the percentage of used CPU per context.
I was able to know the number of core used per context but not the percentage of the CPU used.

I have just joined a networks team and will be working on two fwsm versions 4.0(8) in two 6500 routers. Now the fwsms seem to be virtualised with multiple contexts. The server team want a new context setup for a group of servers behind a vlan. [code]
This context just seems to have two Vlans and a BVI interface. What is the function of this context and why we have 2 admin contexts?
Also another important question is on which 6500 do I create the new context? Is the admin context active on one 6500 just like other contexts and will sync across or do I have to create the new context on both 6500s.
I need your support for upgrading the Security context license on 5550, at present we have 5 Security context license installed in ASA but we want it to increased till 10 conctexts. I want to understand if we need to get addtional 5 Security context license or 10.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with a context, I have two CISCO ASA 5550 (failover) and also we have the CISCO CSM to monitoring it, but since some weeks is showing a memory usage of 100% but then it drops until reach zero and then again the graphic goes up. This is the second time that the graphic shows this
I also check this on the CLI and i'ts fine because is showing the real percent, so my question here is why is showing this kind of behavior, I mean it was working fine before.
In the other hand I checked the secondary device and this is showing a 99% of used memory, but as the other one this graphic doesn't drop
I also checked via CLI and it says that it had the 99% memory used , Is there a way that i can put more memory on the context or what do you suggest that I can check on my firewalls.
I am trying to configure multi context on the 5520 ASA , how can i configure 1 outside and 1 inside for the 2 context or how to configure both outside from the same subnet and insides also from the same subnet , i did the below configuration but didn't work . [code]
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a active-active setup with 2 cisco asa 5585x running 8.4 - the boxes ahve each 2 sec context's build-in - which gives 4 sec context in the cluster. I have 2 x 5 extra licenses (2 x ASA5500-SC-5) which I haven't applied yet - will this give me a total of 10 or 14 security contextes? I am a bit in doubt because if I only get 10 sec contextes in this cluster then could I instead get a single 10 security context license (1 x ASA5500-SC-10) and add this - hereby I would get 12 then.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe already know that ASA 9.0 supports site-to-site VPN in multiple context mode. But remote access VPN isn't supported. Obviously, SSL-VPN is a very important feature for most multi-tenant deployment scenarios where each context acts as a border firewall towards the Internet for each tenant. The alternative to terminate all tenant remote-access VPNs in one context means that each tenant would have to be routable from the ASA, which of course isn't a reasonable requirement in most cases.
So, what I'd like to do is to deploy an ASA cluster, and provide remote access VPNs for each tenant, where the connectivity for each remote access group can be addressed with whatever IP address space, and that goes into it's own VRF in the back-end.
As far as I can tell, this isn't doable with the ASA, since multiple context mode prohibits the use of remote access VPN, and I can't think of any other work-around than either having individual firewalls running in single context mode for each tenant, or demand that all tenants are interoperable routing-wise and configure a separate ip address pool in a single context mode for each tenant.
Essentially, there's no good way to implement this with multiple virtual firewalls, using cisco firewalls?
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.

So I just want to know if I'm UPGRADING from 5 to 10 context the reload applies to my situation or not?
How do i measure the total throughput going via 5585-X.It has the firewall througput of 5Gbps. Looking at aggregate of all the interfaces traffic going through it seems about 4gbps is going through.

The first one is the license to have 20 context and the next one is upgrade from 20 context to 50 context. My problem is that I haven't could find a service support contract associate them.I want to know if they have or not service contract, because I can´t find them.
