Cisco WAN :: ASA 5520 / Implement Failover For Branch Office Connectivity?
Aug 1, 2012
We have AT&T Managed MPLS service are our datacenter and our branch office locations. AT&T has provided the routers and simply give us an ethernet connection. We also have ethernet connectivity to the internet through our datacenter...with our network being protected by an ASA 5520.Each branch location has a 29xx series router (voice gateway) and switching gear attached to their AT&T MPLS router. Some of our branches also have 3rd party cable internet service with an ASA 5505 to protect it from the internet. What I'd like to do is better utilize this cable modem/ASA5505 setup. Right now, if there were an outage, I would be connecting manually to the remote location to change static routes to point to the cable link and to configure a VPN tunnel between the remote and our DC.

I am trying to set our VPN connection to route to our branch office from a VPN Client. So far I did not succeed and at this point I am stuck.At our office we have a VPN Server which enables VPN Clients to connect to our main office with an IP Range of 192.168.104.0 with subnet 255.255.248.0 and a branch office with a IP Range of 192.168.25.0 and a subnet 255.255.255.0Internally on the LAN the routing is done by our firewall, which acts as DHCP and Default gateway. It connects the 2 LANs by a leased line.When I ping an IP address in our branch office from our main office I get a reply.
Now when a VPN client connects it gets a IP Address in the range of the main office from our firewall and the client can connect to all computers in the main office network. However if i try to connect to a computer in the branch office it does not work.I tried a static route in the Routing and remote access Server (which is Windows Server 2003 R2) and I tried adding a static route to the DHCP settings on the firewall. In both cases it does not connect from the VPN Client to the branch office.Searching the internet, since the examples are all based on a setup with a RAS Server on both networks. The LANs are already "integrated"/"physicly connected" trough the routing on our firewall and its leased line.
I also tried settings on the VPN Clients machine. Settings like "Use gateway in remote network" on or off and tried adding static routes. This did not work, since the Default gateway I must use is not on the same range as the home network and returned an error trying that.What I noticed is that the VPN Client gets a route which uses the VPN CLient IP as default gateway. Makign a static route like that will work (I think), but since the IP addresses for the VPN clients are obtained through DHCP and can vary each time, there is no way (i think) to automate adding a route with, for example, a batchfile that I could give to the employees connecting trough VPN because of the variable IP.

I have a problem with a branch office setup, and I can't for the life of me think of what the problem is.I have a remote office setup, using an ASA 5505 that is set up to establish an easy vpn connection to the central network. The connection at the branch office is a 20/5 cable modem, the central network has a 25/25 fiber connection.
The issue I have is this. Wired clients work fine at this branch office, at least 95% of the time. I have a lightweight AP there that can come up and join the controllers at the central network, no problem. I haven't done anything with H-REAP because there are really no resources locally they need that would allow them to do their work, so all traffic is tunneled back to the WLC.
Wireless clients can authenticate to the AP, and I can get 15-20ms ping responses from them all day. Latency never comes close to the 600ms proposed limit with CAPWAP. Yet, for some reason the performance of the clients is problematic. Webpages will frequently not load correctly, they experience some freezing, and with one application we use - it refuses to load completely.If we bring these same computers to an AP connected to our central network, on the same SSID, they work flawlessly.
Something about this particular location is causing a lot of grief for our users.For what it's worth, we are running WCS 7.0.230.0 and the WLCs are on 7.0.116.0. The ASA is running a pretty basic configuration, pretty much out of the box with the easy vpn configuration entered.

I've followed Watchguard's instructions for configuring a Branch Office VPN connection, and I'm unable to connect. I have configured the Watchguard gateway to accept remote-to-local connections and put in the Watchguard's public IP address as the local connection, and the WRVS4400n's public IP as remote.The Linksys has the local VPN group configured as 192.168.0.0./24 and the remote gateway as the Watchguard's public IP Address.When I connect it remains "down" and I"m receiving errors saying it could not authenticate. I have the passphrase the same on both sides with 3DES and SHA1 configured.Does the WRVS4400n support this type of VPN configuration or am I wasting effort?

I am preparing to move two branch offices from a point to point T1 connection to Century Link Metro Ethernet.Currently my branch locations connect to my HQ 7204 router via a channelized DS3. I have a 4507R at HQ that I will connect the ME circuit to.We will also be moving our Internet connection on the ME circuit.Our service provider Clink will hand me a single Ethernet handoff for the Internet and branch office connections. For the first phase I will connect one branch office using ME. Once that is in place and tested we will move another office and so on. Then our final step is to move our web connection to the ME circuit.Each branch office has their own unique voice and data subnet. They each have a 2801 router and a 3560 switch. The routers are MGCP gateways with only one PSTN connection, a POTs 911 line on a FXO port.
So my questions are;
1 - Should I connect the ME directly in to the 3560 at the branch offices or use the Fa0/1 on the 2801? Fa0/0 is currently connected to the 3560.
2 - On my 4507R at HQ how will I configure the ME switch port? As a dot1q trunk port?
3 - Given that ME is basically a LAN connection will I have to re IP the branch office? HQ is 10.10.1.x/24. Branch is 10.10.166.x/24 (data) 192.168.166.x/24 (voice).
4 - On the 4507R will I need to configure a vlan interface for each branch subnet?
I attached two network diagrams. One represents our current topology (MEexisting) and the second represents the new ME circuit changes (MEprojected).

I have to setup what seems to be a very basic configuration, but it doesn't work. In our lab there is a cluster of switches with a 3550 that does all the routing for vlans. I need to simulate a sort of a small branch office that has one connection to the outside world (the lab network). [code] From the router I can ping any host on vlan 230 and other vlans,I can also ping the pc connected to e0/1.However from the PC I can only ping 192.168.1.1(e0/1) and 172.26.230.150 (e0/0) [code]

I am trying to configure access to several remote offices for users who VPN into our main datacenter. The datacenter has a 5520, and the branches are connected through IPSec L2L VPNs. Branches all have 5505 or 5510's. Remote users use IPSec via the Cisco remote Client. Remote access into our data center works, and the L2L VPNs are perfect...just now that i need remote users to access the branches after Remote access VPNing (for support) i cant get that part to work.

We have used two Cisco RVS4000 to create the IPSec VPN between the main office and the branch office. The main office has SBS 2008. There is a Windows Server 2008 as the domain controller in the branch office. One branch office user has a laptop which is not in the domain, but his exchange account is set up in the Outlook. When he connects the laptop to the branch office network, he cannot connect to the exchange server and get the emails. Is there any configuration to set up in the router, server or Outlook?

Our Headquarter (asa 5510) is running a site to site vpn connection with a Branch office (router 2811). All remote users are accesing the internet through the VPN and also accesing headquarter file servers.I want to know if there is a way for some remote users to be able to use the vpn for accesing the file servers but to access the internet through the branch office. The rest of the remote users will be still accessing the internet through VPN.

We are attempting to implement an ASA 5520 with a new ISP. Based on the limited routing needs, I believe we can use it as the router as well. I am familiar enough with routers, but the ASA is obviously a different thing.
The setup looks like:
ASA Version 8.2(1) !
host name Cisco
interface GigabitEthernet0/0description Internet name if Outsidesecurity-level 0ip address 69.XX.46.1 255.255.255.252 !interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description DMZnameif DMZsecurity-level 0ip address 69.XX.56.1 255.255.255.240
!interface GigabitEthernet0/2description Localnameif Insidesecurity-level 15ip address 10.0.XX.XXX 255.255.252.0
[Code] .....
1) Outside 0/0 connects to MRV from service provider (Public)
2) DMZ 0/1 connects to outside switch with servers (Public)
3) Inside 0/2 is LAN (Private)
A) Based on a completely default config and aside from setting the routes to send traffic from inside to outside, and outside to DMZ, what is the next step?
B) What should the interface security levels be, I am unsure what they should be or why...?
Based on the initial config with interfaces set as above, I cannot move traffic through.

Today we have a simple ASA-5520 SVC setup with just one connection profile and one group policy. Authentication (2 factor – AD + SMS) is performed by RADIUS. We would now like allow access to this VPN service only if you reside in a particular group in the MS AD. From what I understand this can be accomplished through DAP. Either by matching the LDAP attribute “memberOf” or RADIUS id 146. I’m I right? Can I still perform authentication using RADIUS and then DAP using LDAP or must I use DAP using RADIUS?

I've got a cisco asa 5520 and setting up the NAT for multiple DMZs on it.
I want to use PAT on the outside interface.
internally ive created subinterfaces for the VLANs and connected to a trunk port on a switch.
configure NAT for this scenario. I've got only 1 external public IP address.

I have one HP Desktop that decided one day it doesnt want to connect to the internet.
On the network we have two HP desktops (wired), one Dell desktop (wired) and 2 dell laptops (wireless) all connected to a wireless D-Link DIR 655 router . All computers are running Windows XP. All are able to connect to the internet except one HP desktop (only recently).
I have tried connecting the HP desktop in question to the wireless router via a different cable and still no connectivity. I tried disabling and renabling the internet/repairing it to no avail. I've restarted the wireless router and modem. Nothing. I've even tried restarting the computer (who knows it's solved problems before).

I have two ASA 5520 units, both running version 8.3(2) code. Among many other uses, they have an IPSec tunnel between them to link office 1 and office 3 together. Office 2 does exist, and is connected to a different port on the ASA in office 3; there is no IPSec involved with office 3.

I have a home office with multiple VLANS/subnets I have many VPNs that connect only a specific subnet to a specific remote offfice. On a 5520, can I create a S2S VPN to different remote offices that have the same IP scheme, but from different home office subnets? For example at my home office let's say I have two independant, distinct VLAN/subnets: 192.168.140.0/24 and 192.168.150.0/24. Can I create an S2S from the 140 subnet to a remote office with a 10.10.10.0 addressing scheme and another S2S from the 150 subnet to a totally different office also with a 10.10.10.0 scheme?

Is it possible to setup 2 x Cisco ASA 5520 that are in an Active/Standby failover using sla monitoring?
For example ASA1 outside interface connects to an upstream switch and you setup sla monitor with icmp echo to ping that switch. The switch goes down and you need the other ASA2 to become the Active ASA. Can the sla monitor be automatically integrated with the failover commands for this to happen?

I'd like to configure HA between an ISP router and a firewall ASA like shown in the document. I was thinking about HSRP but can I use HSRP between a router and a firewall?Another information.I have 1 asa 5520 on my site connected to an ISP 1, and a second asa 5520 at a second ISP's datacenter. My aim is that if the 2nd ISP is not available, all trafic go through the asa on site and to the first ISP.

I am having ASA 5520 with active/standby configured. Around 2 days ago, the ASA stopped responding & all of my websites stopped working. when i checked the failover status it said that failover is off. I had to manually turn the failover to start my traffic flow.During this time my secondary ASA was not responding. After some time, the primary stopped responding & secondary became active......to solve this i had to make the secondary unit as failover unit primary & the primary unit as failover unit secondary. i did get a log on ASA :-
“(Primary) Disabling Failover” with error message no.105001 which states the below:-
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105001: (Primary) Disabling failover.
Explanation In version 7.x and later, this message may indicate the following: failover has been automatically disabled because of a mode mismatch (single or multiple), a license mismatch (encryption or context), or a hardware difference (one unit has an IPS SSM installed, and its peer has a CSC SSM installed).(Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary unit.

I have 2 ASA5520's in failover pair.After failing over I cannot run ADSM on the secondary (now active device), I get "unable to launch device manager from [primary address]"
I can ASDM to the primary device (now marked as "standby ready") on the failover address. I can SSH to it also.I CANNOT ASDM to the secondary device (now marked as "active") on the primary address. I CAN SSH to it.
When I run "sh asdm image" I get valid output (asdm image disk0:/asdm-645.bin) on both.However when I run "sh ver" on each it appears ASDM is not running on the secondary device :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx [only]
Compared with :
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version xxxx
Device Manager Version 6.4(5)
It appears as though ASDM is only running on the primary device (regardless of the fact it is now in standby mode). Is this normal?
I am having to run in a failover condition due to a intermittent hardware fault on the primary unit but require access to the ASDM for monitoring/diag purposes during this condition.

I currently have a set of firewalls in active standby configuration running an ospf process injecting a default route into the rest of my network.I noticed when i was testing the failover that the asa's do not actually pass the route tables on failover, thus forcing the need to wait for routes to converge and for the default route to be advertised back into the network. This of course is not acceptable.
Is there a way around this or do I have to setup static default routes on every device in my network. I am trying to avoid setting up default routes on all of the devices because due to the setup of my network I have equal cost links configured in the event of hardware or link failure. So the devices then see an advertised default route from multiple paths.
