I have been monitoring the alarm summary but have been off couple days and i see one of my controllers is down. Getting critical level security and message is port is down on the controller, condition link down. The other issue is config difference found between NCS and Contoller, I tried getting them to sync together but still getting the same message.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that the 3600 series APs are not supported on the 4404 WLC. However, would the following scenario be supported? I would like to use the 4404 (software rel. 7.0) as a guest anchor with a 5508 (software release 7.2) as the foreign controller supporting series 3600 APs. I ask because the APs do not need to join the guest anchor.

We plan to upgrade the 5508 to 7.3.112.0 and the 4400 is already 7.0.116.0. Will there be any issue if the anchor controller is not the same code as the foreign controller? Do I also have to upgrade the acnhor controller to 7.0.240.0?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ASA 5505 that has two inside security level 100 interfaces and an outside interface.On the inside interface we have corporate domain subnet with DC and 30 hosts. On the inside2 interface I have few servers that runs specific application important for our business needs, and dumb terminals that are connected to them.I have a laptop user that periodically needs access from our corporate vlan1 to one of the servers on inside 2 vlan via remote desktop or some other remote viewer client,so he can view reports etc.I have enabled same-security-traffic intra-interface command and added nat exempt command pointing specific laptop host machine to that specific server.
Now my main concern is regarding security. This user carries his laptop home, browses the web, puts USB memory, and you can imagine how this machine is susceptible to all kind of malicious software. Inside2 vlan is very important and until now it has been a very secure environment.This is no longer the case since all traffic between this inside sec level 100 vlan host and corresponding inside2 sec level 100 server is now allowed because of the enabled same level interface traffic and nat exemption rule. Do I have another solution that would allow communication based on just a tcp port number for this host? Something like port forwarding from outside to inside Vlan interface?
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 need hosts on 1 of these interfaces to be able to get to a specific IP and port on the other but I DON'T want to blanket enable 'same-security-traffic permit inter-interface" I have added an ACL inbound on the interface allowing the desired traffic and inbound on the other for return traffic and it simply doesn't work.

I tried to access server from THREE network to web server at FOUR network I have no response. In sh xlate output it shows "PAT Global 10.124.104.254 (28889) Local 10.124.103.1(2922) " I am not sure what else should I do. I add both same-security-level commands and it is the same.
Quote from the RV180 manual; 'By default, all access from the insecure WAN side is blocked from accessing the secure LAN, except in response to requests from the LAN or DMZ.'
Does this mean a general access-rule for the firewall blocking all inbound (WAN --> LAN) data is not required?
I'm trying to implement some best practices for ASA running on Software Release 8.2 and had a question about the default security-level behavior. Let's say I have 3 interfaces...
-inside (security-level 100)
-dmz (security-level 50)
-outside (security-level 0)
I have an ACL on the inside interface allowing http access to anywhere. Because of the ACL, the implicit higher to lower security level access is nullified. Correct?
I do NOT have any ACL on the dmz interface applied. So, would the servers in the dmz be allowed outbound access to the Internet due to the default higher to lower security level behavior?
We have an ADSM (version 5.2(3) ) . In ASA ( version 7.2(3)) we are working with routing, access restriction and configuring IPSEC vpn with integration to our AD. We need to get two diferent profiles: one for networking administrators, who are going to manage routing, acls and have the root for ASA, and the other profile is going to be for the vpn administrators. As I read from the ASDM 6.0 user guide is posible define command privilege level. So do you consider posible to define a particular level for all the command related with ipsec vpn (Create, Modify and Delete) and asociate that particular level with the user for vpn administration.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm facing a problem with two vlans. Each vlan has internet access by NAT.
In each vlan there is at least one server, who should be accessible from the other vlan and vice versa.
The function "same-security-traffic permit inter-interface" doesn't work, because NAT control is in place - so an expert.
Some experts told me it's not possible to route back out the same interface, and also not route back out the seperate subinterfaces as well.
I have ASA 5585 with SSP20. I want to enable same security level subinterfaces (routed mode) to communicate with each other.
I have put below command at global level but somehow it is not happening.
hostname(config)# same-security-traffic permit inter-interface
Do I also need to check for NATing or some other things apart from above command?

View 6 Replies View RelatedVerifying the operation of the ASA when configured with Global access rules. Does the global rule overide the interface security levels? According to the ASA order of operations, the interface specific rule get's processed first and then the global rules, but It does not say anything about interface security levels. Observing an ASA in production that has global rules configured I see that an interface with a security level of 50 that has no rules applied to it, passing traffic to the outside interface (security level 0) drops the traffic. Syslog shows that it hits the global access rule implicit deny. Does the implicit permit any to any less secure interface not apply?

But after reload, AP is still joined to the old WLC. So another idea was to log to that WLC and put:
config ap primary-base WLC2 AP_NAME x.x.x.x
and after that:
config ap reset AP_NAME
But still nothing, it's joined to another controller although "show ap client config" shows that primary-base switch is x.x.x.x ?How can i force it to join to other controller?
We are looking to upgrade our 5508 wireless controller from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0. Reason being, we have experienced a lot of access points disassociating from the controller as well as client authentication issues. Upgraded from 7.0.98.0 to 7.0.220.0 and any issues during the upgrade or after the upgrade?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a WLC (5508) in our main office in Brisbane that is hosting two WLANs. One provides wireless access to our internal network and the second provides wireless guest access. The guest WLAN is anchored to a controller sitting in the DMZ at our Data Centre.
In the DMZ the anchor controller has a management interface and an interface in the DMZ for the wireless guest access. I am using the DHCP server on the anchor DMZ to provide IPs etc to wireless guest clients. The default gateway is 10.8.144.1 which is a VIP or a pair of firewalls.
Initially everything works fine. Guests connect to the guest network, have to authenticate via a web portal (Cisco ISE server) and then can go on an use the internet. Works perfectly until the firewalls fail over and the secondary firewall takes over the VIP address. All access to the internet is lost at that point. If I try to disconnect and then reconnect a wireless client it connects, as in it will get an IP address, but DNS resolution stops and I do not get redirected to the web auth portal. If the firewalls are failed back to the primary then everything works again, no issues. However, if I reboot the WLC while the secondary firewall has the VIP IP everything will work fine as it did on the primary. If the firewalls now fail over to the primary again everything goes to ****. Until either the firewalls are failed back or the anchor WLC is rebooted.
Initially I thought this was an issue on the firewall, but this doesn't appear to be the case. When the firewall fails over it sends out a gratuitous ARP advising of the change in MAC address for the 10.8.144.1 IP address. The WLC seems to update its ARP table because if I run the command "show arp switch" it has the 10.8.144.1 IP address with the MAC address of the active firewall. From the client perspective I have run a wireshark and captured packets on the wireless interface when trying to connect. The laptop is continuously send ARP requests for 10.8.144.1 but gets not reply. Without this the client cannot send an ethernet frame to the gateway and hence get to the DNS server and WEB portal. Internet access breaks. Doing a TCP dump on the active firewall shows it receiving and then sending a reply to the ARP request. It just never gets to the wireless client. Debugging ARP packets on the anchor WLC seems to indicate that the controller is receiving the ARP replies from the firewall. So I'm at a loss as to why things should break when the firewalls fail over.
I have a 3750 switch in the DMZ with SVI of 10.8.144.4. I thought I could get a work around where I would make this the default gateway. The theory being that this interface MAC address would never change. However I was wrong. Even with this IP set as the gateway address for the wireless clients I see the exact same bahaviour when the firewalls fail over. I can't explain it other than to say that the gratuitous ARP sent by the firewalls seems to kill the ability of ARP replies to be sent back to the wireless client.
Just replaced a 2106(ver 5.1) with a 5508 (ver.7.2)...Everything was OK.. AP's got on 5508 and we shut the 2106. (AP's are on L2 with controller)During some investigation of why new LAP's from a location via VPN/GRE don't show up in controller, i type the following command on 5508: test ap pmtu enable all....All AP's on 5508 is now in Not Joined state..Have powered up the old 2106 and put AP's on that .. This is OK ....Have rebooted/downgraded/upgraded the 5508 controller but with same result.....No AP's can join this controller (exept from a oeap600)
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo we have a Cisco 5508 controller that is managing 15 AP's in one of our buildings.I am running 2 wlans, one is internal access via (wpa) radius, peap and domain login...that works well now
The other is a guest lan, that is only allowed to surf the web.
The question from our security group, is there a way to restrict wireless access to ONLY a corporate approved list of devices.
As it stands right now, we only support Blackberry's as our mobility device. All local data is encrypted. The issue here is our testing shows that with an Iphone (not approved) it is very easy to connect to the WPA network if a user knows how to enter in their domain credentials. From there they can browse our internal web servers and download corporate data to a non approved, non encrypted device such as the iphone.
I upgraded a controller yesterday 5508 it went from a low code version 6.x to 6.0.196.0 then to 7.0.116.0. However although all the access points joined code 6.0.196.0 they refused to join 7.0.116.0. The aps are all 1242s.
The country codes etc were all fine so I do not understand what was going on.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have one controller 5508 that will hold 50 LAP 1262 and another Controller that will hold another 50 outdoor mesh access point 1552. Both controllers (not redundant) are at the HQ while the access points are distributed between HQ and 3 branches.
The requirements is to have the SAME 4 SSIDs on MESH and LAP each have a security type (, wep,wpa,dot1x...) on HQ and Branches. Now, in the HQ I don't think I will face a problem since the WLCs is on the same LAN, so 5 interface v lans will be configured one for the WLCs and access point and another 4 interface v lans for the 4 SSIDs.
Now, for the remote sites I need to create another vlan on the switch with DHCP and option 43 ..... for the access point to register with the controller.
But here, do I have to create another 4 interface v lans (4 different sub nets) that should be bidden to the SSID as in the HQ?
Or the Access point will encapsulate all the traffic including the client traffic? Note that I have outdoor mesh access point and Lightweight access point and the BW link between the HQ and branch is 100M.
Also Can I have roaming between the same SSID that broadcasted on MESH and LAP knowing that each have different controller.
