View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to load balance traffic between an FWSM and ASA 5520? Both are attached to a 6509-E (in seperate VLANs). The problem is the FWSM doesn't support any dynamic routing protocols (in multi context mode). So with my limited knowledge I don't see a way to do this.

I am planning for an VSS in Core but firstly I need to upgrade FWSM which is at 3.2 Ver to 4.0.4 (min release) I have checked software dependencies but not sure about Hardware Dependency on Fwsm and Chassis for Eg. Rommon Upgrade on Chassis.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a FWSM in my 6509, this firewall is managing three VLANs, one of which holds a file server. As you all know, FWSM do not support VPN like the ASAs and PIXs do. I have been trying to add remote access to this file server LAN all week. The only VPN device i have is a 2801 router.
first layout: VPN router behind FWSMstatic translation from FWSM LAN (private) to VPN WAN (public)default route was facing back at FWSMip address pool was to be NAT'd on the interface facing the FWSM the idea was that my VPN address pool would be NAT'd back to the FWSM on it's VLAN. since the FWSM was managing this VLAN and recognized the source IP of the translated address pool, i would have access to my precious file server.
second layout: VPN router fa 0/1 on a /30 with 6509 (public)VPN router fa 0/0 still on the same LAN as FWSM (private)address pool for VPN once again NAT'd to fa 0/0default route pointed to fa 0/1static route of FWSM LAN pointed to fa 0/0 this idea was to have more of a 'inside' and 'outside' interface on the VPN router. this too did not work, having used every trick in the book, i could still not ping anything on the FWSM LAN while VPN'd in the network (aside from the LAN interface on my router)
trace route was showing that the all routes were headed out fa 0/1 (default route) and all to my FWSM died. i really don't think my address pool is being NAT'd, though my route map statement applied to the NAT policy is permitting my VPN address pool.
I am new to VPN technology, one of those things that happened to land on my lap. how this layout could work? there are no good VPN Remote access walkthroughs for a situation like this (2801 allowing access to a FWSM controlled LAN)
I wanna upgrade FWSM Version 3.1(11) to latest 4.x version is this possible or i have to upgrade first to 3.2 and then to 4.x?
Is there any changes in configuration commands that i need to know? The version that 6500 running is s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF14.bin,an upgrade to 6500 is needed also?And if so what ios version will i put?Also which is the asdm supported version?
We recently deployed a FWSM on our 6503-e boxes (w/ sup720). NAT is working (PAT) but the issue I am seeing is private traffic from remote sites is not being allowed through the FW. I was able to get the remote site to ping the FWSM itself (inside address), but no hosts behind it. Maybe an ACL issue? Also when I turn off NAT on the remote end, I can than access everything (We are NATng on both ends). Im a routing guy by nature so I will defer this to the security guys out there.
Topology
Hosts (inside/10.15.25.0/24) > FWSM (outside/public IP) -> Core Router -> MPLS CLOUD -> Core Router (NATng) - > Hosts (192.168.1.0/24)

I have 2 cisco 6500 switches with FWSM running HSRP with an ISP. I need to add another ISP into this configuration for ISP failover. The original ISP i.e ISP 1 has given us a Vlan and we have configured a default route into the FWSM to go through it. Now i have 2nd ISP which has given us another Vlan but i would like to know how can i configure default route for this 2nd ISP as i already have one for the 1st ISP.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to put a FWSM and a line card WS-X6148A-GE-TX to a router 7606. The FWSM version is 3.2(13). The router is running IOS 12.1(18)SXD3. The Cisco document here says the required IOS for router 7606 is 12.2(18)SXF or higher. I have downloaded the IOS 12.2(33)SRD4 and loaded it to the flash card. When I turn the router on, it doesn't load the new IOS and goes to rommon. Which IOS I should use to make the router 7606 work and accept the FWSM.

We have reached a limit on the number of rules we can configure on the FWSM, and have determined that we shall upgrade to 4.1(5), with ASDM to 6.2(2)F. A question has been raised regarding the s/w on the ACE-20 modules. Do we need to upgrade them as well?

View 2 Replies View Relatedam trying to config a FWSM by ASDM 6.2f.there are formerly configured interfaces and new interfaces i created.when i add a new access rule it gets added only to all the old interfaces but not to the new ones i created.
1. what wrong with the new interfces i created?
2. whats the logic of auto adding a rule to "all" interfaces , the rules are incoming rules specific to interfaces or groups , why add the to the rule to "all" intefaces?.
We would like to decommission our FWSMs and upgrade to the ASA 5555Xs. This leads me to ask the following: What would be the most efficient way of doing this without any interruption to production? How to successfully accomplish this?

on fwsm we have different dmz for different application. mostly of Oracle (1521 port) to application means seperate one. problem is oracle people reported the slow performace when exporting dump from once vlan to another. before that they are using 3com technology (network) and on this its ok. time difference is double from old to new.
i had sniffed the traffic also and found alot of TCP OUT OF ORDERS errors. i read that this is the bug which is resolved in 4.0.
I'm running two C6509 Chassis with FWSM and ACE module install on each chasiss.I have no problem with session into 1 FWSM and 2 ACE modules.But 1 FWSM module can't be access by session command.As I understand two FWSM module status is OK, and working fine.When I tried to session into FWSM, I got these messages..

I think I got a strange behavior on a context of my WS-SVC-FWM-1 (on a Catalyst 6509 running IOS 12.2(18)SXF17a) that is running FWSM Firewall Version 4.1(3). This context sends these log messages every ten minutes:
Jul 17 2011 23:31:16: %FWSM-6-302010: 0 in use, 0 most used
Jul 17 2011 23:31:17: %FWSM-6-302010: 2245 in use, 107133 most used
[code]...
If I issue the "show conn" three seconds later the log message, the output I got is: FWSM# sh conn 1041 in use, 107133 most used
In another context on the same FWSM the log message sent every ten minutes is just this one:
Jul 17 2011 23:31:17: %FWSM-6-302010: 1358 in use, 72503 most used
Jul 17 2011 23:41:22: %FWSM-6-302010: 1590 in use, 72503 most used
In this case there is no the log message where the "in use" field and "most used" field are 0 (zero). why does the context send the message with the "in use" field and "most used" field 0 (zero).
I have attached a drawing of our network. We have two 6509's connected to two Cisco 2811 (onsite) that the ISP owns. I am trying to get one side up and running before I worry about redundancy and so forth. For this reason I have set all the HSRP priorities to 110 on the left 6509. I have HSRP running between the ISP routers and V LAN 101 of the 6509's. This works as I can ping yahoo and Google just fine from the 6509 switch. I can't get from my laptop connected to V LAN 23 to the internet.
It doesn't even attempt to NAT as there are no translations. I have public address assigned by my ISP configured between the ISP routers and my 6509 on V LAN 101. I then have the public address assigned to V LAN 100. I configured V LAN 100 on the switch and V LAN 100 on the FWSM with the IP address in the drawing. I have my NAT statements and route in my FWSM according to the drawing as well. On the switch, I have a default route to X.X.12.19 which is the VIP between the ISP routers. I can reach anything on the inside of my network, including the old network addresses from V LAN 23.
1. Is it best to do NAT at the FWSM or should I do it on the MSFC connected to the ISP routers?
2. If I have to configure NAT at the FWSM, does this requires me to extend the public network down to the FWSM?
3. I'll take any examples you may have as I am stuck.
We run a 6500 with an FWSM with multiple security contexts as well as cascading contexts with a "shared V LAN" . There is a problem with regards to Linux machines and our shared network.
For example, we have three Linux machines in production, each in three separate V LAN's. For me to communicate to these boxes from one V LAN to another I must first ping the server. If I do not ping the server it will not bring up a connection like ssh or HTTP, etc. Below is the error I get from the FWSM that hosts the Linux server, but like I said once I ping the server the error goes away. We only have this problem with Linux machines, and it is a problem for all three of them. Is the FWSM having issues understanding something with all three Linux boxes? Below is the error I get at first, when I try to SSH from one V LAN to another V LAN with the Linux machine.

Deny TCP (no connection) from 10.255.12.109/22 to 10.255.1.30/63000 flags SYN ACK on interface inside.
Below is what happens when I initiate a ping to the Linux Server and then ssh again. Notice it builds the connection with no problem after the ping. During the ping it builds the dynamic translation, and then when I ssh it builds the TCP connection. Do you know why this could be?

I have 2 dmz interfaces(dmz1 and dmz2) with security level 50. I am able to ping the hosts on dmz2 from dmz1. I am running a service on a dmz2 host on port 82 but i am not able to access that service from dmz1. Also, i have an inside interface at security lever 99 which is able to access that service.
Also, i have defined the following command to allow same security level communication.

I have an FWSM running in multiple context mode running 3.2(18) code. I have 3 urls that I would like to block so I can't justify the cost of an external URL filtering server. I have found a way to filter individual URLs on the ASA but the same configuration does not seem to be available on the FWSM. At least not on my code. Any way to do this other than resolving the hostnames and blocking the current IP addresses?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 7604 router with FWSM module in module 3.First of all the FWSM CF has been damaged, not physically. I bought the new same compact flash (size, partnumber, etc.). Downloaded the software 3.2 for FWSM, and ASDM from Cisco website. I realized that the procedure of creating new CF for FWSM is quite diffucult: creating 1-5 partitions, where 1 - is MP, and 4th - application partition. According to cisco documentation - the default boot partition is the 4th, so I partitioned from 7604 the CF into 4 partitions (partition disk1: <1-4> maximum) and copied the software and ASDM to the 4th partition (disk1:3:). Removed the CF from the router and put it into the FWSM module.
