I am using asa 5520 and asa 5540 for remote access vpn connections. Is it possible to do active monitoring of my vpn connections so that there would be alerts for vpn tunnels that fail to establish due to other reasons other than user authentication?
View 5 RepliesWe have an Active/Active ASA 5520 setup, as i know in Active/Active setup there is no remote VPN access, So i could overcome this limitations?I have a solution but i dont know if it is ablecable or not? we have a spare ASA 5510, so i can use it behind Active/Active Firewalls and assign a public static NAT IP address to it and open all IPSEC and VPN ports and let the remote users to connect to it, is this ablecable setup or not?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the ASA5520 we would like to create a report that gives us trending over 6 monthes for the amount of people logged in via the SSL VPN and for how long. Is there a way to do this on the ASA5520? Does it have this ability? Could I do this in SolarWinds? My boss mentioned a software package that Cisco has that will show a history - is this correct?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently we are using a single connection to our ISP and in the coming months will be moving to a two seperate connections (to same ISP). In our current setup we utilize active/passive ASA's (5520, single context) and would like to utilize that going forward as well, the reason being is our DMZ's all hang off of these ASA's and we have fiber connectivity between our datacenters.Our main datacenter and DR Datacenter are basically one big LAN with fiber between them, so we have our DMZ networks at both locations currently with both terminating in our ASA's. That way if the ASA at our current site fails the DMZ's are still accessible via the secondary firewall at our DR facility.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a pair of 5510s and a pair of 5520s, each in Active/Standby mode. I'd like to upgrade the ASDM and ASA software on these, but am finding no documentation that advises on how this can be done without physical access to the devices. It so happens I am on site, but we will be deploying these throughout our network and I'd like to be able to perform this type of maintenance without travelling to each site. We utilize CSM and ASDM to manage these for the most part, but are certainly capable of configuring via CLI.
The issue may be my lack understanding of the ASA fundamentals, but I don't really get how the software can be copied to the individual ASAs of the pair so they may be reloaded and upgraded without outage. With a remote SSH connection to the pair, I'm only copying the software to the Active ASA, correct? Or is there a way to get the software to each disk individually from the single SSH connection? I'm not quite sure how to manage the Standby ASA without consoling into it... If I can indeed remotely get the software to each ASA (copying to different disks?? i.e. disk0: and disk1:?), then I also run into an issue updating the boot statement for each of them individually, though to resolve that I suppose I could just remove the old software, but that seems like bad practice before confirming the new software is ok.If there is a simpler way of deploying new code via ASDM or CSM, I'm certainly open to that.
I have a remote office that currently connects back to a Central data center via Site to Site VPN. I am bringing up a 2nd internet connection as a fall back in the Remote Office. How do I configure the Site to Site VPN to work correctly so that if the primary internet connection goes down, the site fails over to the secondary? On Remote the internet connections are from different providers so they have completely different blocks of public IPs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 asa 5520 firewalls including and 1 AIP-SSM-10 module in each of them. the configuration is set using active/active failover and context mode.
Both of them run individualy the IPS module. The IPS is configured using inline mode and fail-open option. However when one of the module fails and the state is changing from up to init or anything else making the IPS to fail then failover is detected and ASA consider it as failover and bounce context to the other unit.
IPS soft is 6.0(4) and ASA soft is 8.0(3)
I have checked cisco doc and it is confusing to me. it says: "The AIP-SSM does not participate in stateful failover if stateful failover is configured on the ASA failover pair." but it really does participate. Running is not really an option because of production network impact matter..
We have a Main ASA 5520 and two remote site ASA 5505's that connect to each other via S2S VPN tunnels. Currently they are doing split tunneling, so only local traffic goes over the tunnel. We have are local LAN (10.0.0.0/16) and our DMZ (10.3.0.0/24) network at the main site. The DMZ hosts our external sharepoint, but we have access to it internally The problem is site A (10.1.0.0/24) and site B (10.2.0.0/24) have no idea of it, and when attempting to go to the site, it fails. You can access it via the external site address, but that's the only way. Normally the external address is blocked when you are internal.What i'm stuck at is even when we had all traffic sent from Site A to our main hub, it still wouldn't find it. Would i have to make a separate vpn tunnel purely for that DMZ traffic?

I am trying to build a remote vpn in ASA 5520 Software Version 8.3(1). I am using ASDM 6.3(1) for the configuration. I went through the SSL VPN wizard and did the configuration. I tried connecting to the ASA using anyconnect VPN and I could successfully connect the VPN. My home laptop takes an IP 192.168.60.21 (which I have defined in the wizard). Now my issue is, I can't access any office internal network from this laptop (none of the internal IP is ping ing even). Meanwhile, I could ping and rdp to this laptop(which is connectd by anyconnect VPN) from my office network. One thing I noticed is that when I give a traceroute to an internal IP from the laptop, the first hop goes to my home ISP router.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have 2 5520 ASA's working in an active/standby function at our central site. The remote agencies have control of their ASA's or other devices able to create VPN tunnels back to the central site. When a new remote agency wants to connect to our central site we assign them a network range that is routable on the central sites network.We ask that the remote agency NAT into the addresses we provided them.This way we are able to route back to them. We assign the interesting traffic and then they we start communicating by way of the tunnel.
Since the central site can't control the traffic coming in on the site to site tunnel other than just defining the interesting traffic AND we aren't able to control the NAT on the remote end how can I put an access list on the central site ASA to allow only certain ports and IP's by way of access list? Ultimately, I'm trying to limit traffic on the central site coming inbound to only allow traffic I want. I tried applying a group policy to the lan2lan site to site tunnel, but it failed for some reason. It actually prevented all traffic. Can I apply a group policy to a site-to-site tunnel?
I'm struggling here a bit as I don't have control of the remote end. They can NAT whatever they want to an address in the range we assigned them. The tunnels interesting traffic is set to full ip to the central site's destination. The interesting traffic on the central site is set the same. However, on the central side...I want to limit that traffic to only certain ports by way of an acl. If it is possible to assign a site-to-site tunnel a group policy and filtering is done in that method, can

I have a site to site VPN between SiteA to SiteB which is working fine. SiteA has an ASA5520 and SiteB Pix501. The ASA5520 is running version 804 with split tunneling.

I know i can setup the Pix501 for remote access VPN but it is located in another country and i don't want to take a chance just incase i lose connectivity.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an ASA 5520 8.2(3) and allowing my remote client-to-site-vpn clients to access resources directly connected to my ASA on separate lower security interfaces (not the outside) besides just clients on my internal networks. Someone mentioned to me configuring 'VPN on a stick' however from what I've read this seems to be only applicable when it comes to split-tunneling back out the outside interface (could be off on that). Is this possible on other lower security interfaces as well, and if so what would a mock config that accomplishes that look like (acl's, nat, etc)? Also, if I want internal users to be able to connect to these remote clients once they are active, are there any nat statements necessary (such as nonatting them) or are the vpn clients just seen as internal clients from the rest of the internal network's standpoint by default?

We have two sites, Site-A with a ASA 5520 (Remote Access IPSEC VPN server) at one end and a new ASA 5515-X at Site-B. Users at Site-B are unable to establish a VPN connection to Site-A via Cisco VPN client from behind the new ASA 5515-X. They see the following error:
"Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the client.
Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding.
They are able to access the same from home or elsewhere so I believe there is nothing wrong with Site-A ASA vpn config which we have been using for a while now. The new 5515-X (version 8.6) has a very basic config with all outbound traffic allowed. I'm pasting the config below. Do I need to enable/allow anything for it to work?

We currently have a few 5505s installed at client sites which are connected via s2s ipsec VPN to our datacenter's 5510. We are using Nagios to monitor the local data center and remote client infrastructure (over the VPNs) which has been working well.
We would like to also monitor the remote 5505s using SNMP over the s2s tunnels but it doesn't seem to be working, the connection is timing out. We've configured the remote 5505s with the same snmp statement we used on the 5510 (snmp-server host inside <remote datacenter IP> poll community ***** version 2c) yet the Nagios SNMP check cannot connect to the remote 5505s. We've also tried the command using 'outside' without any luck, not sure how to get SNMP to route over the VPN.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to track and record all functionality, connectivity speeds and applications of a remote laptop. Here's the basic set up of my problem:We have 40 medical facilities in five Western States, each with up to 30+ pieces of hardware including thin clients, PCs, laptop computers and wall mounted touch screen kiosks operating on a variety of OS including primarily XP pro, then Linux and transitioning into Win 7.We have installed Aruba wireless network in each building on which our mobile medical cart laptops connect. Each facility has a different mix of primary and backup/failover ISP from DSL, Cable, T1 to Bonded T. All are at or exceed 22MB down, 5MB up save the T1s at their dedicated 1.5 and we monitor speeds and network stats trhough our gateway device. PfSense.All employees connect through an RDP (Remote Connection) to our hosting company in Atlanta, GA where the farm of about 28 servers reside hosting our medical, email and office applications.We regularly are contacted by nursing and clinical office staff complaining that "the network is slow". We review connection speeds, loads, ping times and confirm that there are no ISP Speed issues that are causing the "Slowness". However when we review exactly what the nurses mean by "slow" it invariably turns to how long it takes to log in to the RDP sessions and access then run their medical applications in the RDP. They often sit and wait for the RDP to load for five minutes or more and complain of waiting for their typing to catch up in the applications they work in.
We believe the slowness occurs once they are connected in the RDP and that their problems are occurring at the hosting company's facility, getting through their firewall, through profile management and server hardware/software but we can not prove this is the case because the hosting company always claims they see perfectly acceptable speeds and access on their side and we are locked out from access to monitor tehir environment. Changing hosting companies is probelmatic because they are specialised in our industry and leaving would be diffcult. I need some software that I can install on a few machines in a select few of our facilities that will track and record the actual user experience so that we can watch and review exactly what is happening, what the network stats look like and precisely where the user is experiencing "slowness".
