AIP SSM - application of physical port

• Physical connectivity of ASA AIP - SSM

  How the physical connectivity of ASA AIP - SSM should be in the case of inline interface mode of inspection for all interfaces of the firewall. ?

  Rgds.

  Assuming that 'interface_policy' has "inline ips" in the policy, then yes your configuration is correct.

  Keep in mind that 'GigabitEthernet0/1' being assigned to vs0 is the background interface of basket of the MSS itself and should not be confused with the external interface GigabitEthernet0/1 of the SAA.

  As for using several virtual probes, it is a personal choice.

  When you use an ASA with just a single context, then usually a single virtual sensor is sufficient. It's only when you want to follow for traffic coming from firewall interfaces (or different classes of traffic) If you want to use several different virtual devices.

  However, when you use an ASA with multiple security contexts, then it is usually a good idea to go and use a virtual sensor separate from the context of the ASA.

  If you choose to use several virtual devices, you must understand that the background basket interface GigabitEthernet0/1 are only awarded to only 1 virtual sensors.

  Here is an explanation of how the other virtual sensors would get traffic:

  When packets are sent to DFS for monitoring ASA, ASA includes a special header in each packet. Special information such as the framework of the SAA whence the package, the real and NAT/PAT package addresses, and a few other things. An important field of this header is for the virtual sensor. He tells the SSM which virtual sensor must monitor this package.

  When the ASA is configured without using the names of virtual sensor, this is a virtual sensor in the package header field is blank. If the SSM sees a package with the field left blank it will check the DFS configuration to see which virtual sensor GigabitEthernet0/1 of the SSM has been assigned and that sends the packets to the virtual sensor.

  If ASA has been configured to send the packet to a specific virtual sensor (be it by adding the name of virtual sensor at the end of the "inline ips" entered configuration or by using the configuration entries "allocate ips" in the context of system configuration) then the ASA will include the virtual sensor in the header of the packet. The SSM will read in this area, and instead to send the virtual sensor where Gig0/1 is assigned, it will rather send to virtual sensor specified in the header of the packet.

  Indeed, it overrides the assignment Gig0/1 and will lead to what ever virtual sensor has been specified by the configuration of the SAA.

• The ACE IPS Cisco and Cisco ASA AIP - SSM (IPS)

  Is there a difference between the features offered by the Cisco ACE IPS and Cisco ASA AIP - SSM (IPS) devices?

  Can we do without Cisco ASA AIP - SSM (IPS) of 'only' configuration/implementation Cisco ACE IPS.

  Cisco AVS/ACE emphasis on commissioning and to secure web-based applications. IP addresses do not focus on just the web applications and trying to get the multiple layers of the OSI stack. Consider the IPS as a general practitioner and the ACE/AVS as an eye surgeon, or something :)

  Here is the response from Cisco itself:

  Q: how is Cisco AVS Firewall application differs from an intrusion prevention system (IPS)?

  A. IPSs are solid solutions of protection against targeted attacks of known vulnerabilities in major platforms such as Windows, Solaris, Apache or Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Cisco AVS excels to protect against targeted attacks Web sites or enterprise applications. These applications can be built custom internal applications or software vendor. Signatures and security patches are generally not available for these types of applications, and building these security levels in each application, it would be almost impossible.

  Q: how is Cisco AVS Firewall application differs by a network firewall?

  A. The Cisco AVS 3120 and Firewall network such as the Firewall of Cisco PIX® and Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security appliances are complementary products. The application Cisco AVS Firewall secures Web applications; excellent network in the network security firewall. and the Cisco AVS provides defense in depth for Web applications.

  Firewall network apply policy networks, IP addresses and ports; they have a wide range of application for many different protocols layer features. The firewall can and will be deployed in many locations, including the edge, edge of the enterprise network, branch, etc. Cisco AVS imposed the policy on data HTTP as URL, headers and parameters. Cisco AVS is deployed in the data center in front of Web applications

• The AIP - SSM to unused ASA connection interface

  Hi people,

  Perhaps, someone has already raised this issue, but I was unable to find anything relevant. We have an ASA with an unused interface (gig0/3). The sensor of the AIP - SSM is physically connected to this interface with the following IP settings:

  Sensor (192.168.2.2/30,192.168.2.1)---interface ASA (192.168.2.1/30)

  It's basically point to point connectivity, and I can reach the ASA of the sensor and the other way around.

  This design is dictated by the lack of a free port on the switch.

  Technically, it should work without any problems, but I can't seem to be able to reach the sensor. There is a switch between my PC and the sensor and the switch has the corresponding static route added. I can reach the switch sensor.

  Is there a security feature hidden I don't know that prevent communication with the sensor.

  And ACL of the sensor allows the traffic to all networks (0.0.0.0/0)

  With the sensor acl set to 0.0.0.0/0, the sensor must be allowing connectivity.

  You can use the 'View of package' command on the sensor to look at packets on the interface command and control to see if the packets are what makes the sensor.

  You say that you have a static route on your switch for the switch reach your sensor. Do you know if your PC is configured to use the switch as the computer's default router. If the PC is to use a different default router, then the other router should also the static route.

  The other possibility is that the SAA itself can be deny traffic.

  Since this is an ASA connected to the MSS interface, the traffic must be routed through the ASA. Standard firewall rules apply to this traffic. The security level of the interfaces can prevent traffic, and an ACL may be necessary in order to allow the circulation of your PC be routed to the SSM.

  NOTE: If you don't want to have to worry about roads, the other alternative is to make the network between the ASA and SSM to be an isolated network that only 2 machines know.

  You can then use PAT static to map a port on the inside of the ASA interface with the address of the SSM 443 https port and map a second port of the SAA within the interfaces to the address of the SSM SSH port.

  How your home PC would simply plug the ASA IP using these specific ports and the ASA would do the translation of port and transmit on the MSS.

  The SSM address could also be dynamically PAT would have on the SAA within the address, so SSM could start the connection to other machines on the inside network.

  Another alternative if you have addresses available on your inside network IP is to use static NAT instead of PAT. And just go forward and has the ASA statically map an IP network on IP of the SSM on the network that only the ASA and the SSM inside could know.

  In both cases the network between the ASA and SSM would not routable at, and you wouldn't have to worry of reproducing static routes anywhere.

  SIDE NOTE: A separate network for the SSM you Becase you will also need to NAT or PAT address of the SSM for the ASA to outside interface. In this way the SSM will be able to connect to Internet to download cisco.com auto updates, and/or pull overall correlation of servers cisco information. It's probably the same configuration that you would already other internal addresses, and just to be sure, you cover the SSM since you have it on a separate subnet.

• AIP SSM-10

  Hi EXP.

  1st time for me to work with AIP-SSM-10, I ASA5510 and AIP-SSM-10,.

  Firewall (5510):

  inside the 192.168.55.252

  DMZ 172.16.0.1

  where to plug the AIP SSM-10 what ip address I have to give him and how can I be savvy to ensure that is to have such as ping or traceroute ip connectivity. what I'm missing, it is the ip address.

  I gave an ip address to the management interface and I left ping but I couldn't ping the AIP SSM-10 between the firewall.

  Please help,

  (1) of the SAA, you would session in the module, and you must configure the ip address on this module with the command "setup."

  (2) what you just set up the ip address is assigned to the interface on this module.

  (3) this interface on the module must be physically connected to your network. You can configure a unique ip address in the same subnet as your ASA inside the interface.

  Here's a diagram of the module with the port interface / hardware:

• Help configuration AIP - SSM

  I have two questions about the AIP - SSM.

  No of years) ACL on SSM is completely independent of the ACLs on the ASA.

  2) our four interfaces are all used. Is it possible to assign the SSM an IP address in the same subnet as the management interface?

  VNA) absolutely. You can assign the SSM management port IP address in the same subnet as your managemnet interface. In this way, all management traffic will remain independent of normal DATA traffic.

  (3) should then the management interface serve as a gateway for the SSM?

  VNA) you're right... :-)

  Hope that helps.

• Cannot access the AIP SSM via ASDM

  CISCO recommendations below:

  Cannot access the AIP SSM via ASDM

  Problem:

  This error message appears on the GUI.

  Error connecting to sensor. Error Loading Sensor error

  Solution:

  Make sure that the IPS SSM management interface is up/down and check his IP address configured, default gateway and the subnet mask. It is the interface to access the software from Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) on the local computer. Try to ping the address of management of IPS SSM IP interface on the local computer that you want to access the ASDM. If it is impossible to do a ping check the ACLs on the sensor

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I've tried everything recommended above. I can ping the host ASDM the FW and the SSM-10 module. Well, I ping the host machine and the SSM of the ASDM. I opened as wide as possible ACL. I changed the IP addresses and masks several times. The management of the ASA port and the SSM and the PC are on the same subnet.

  A trace of package from the PC to the SSM shows that it is blocked by an ACL rule, and yet I opened wide.   I've seen this kind of problem before and it was solved by applying the double static NAT, but I don't know how to do that if all the IP addresses are on the same subnet.

  Tried everything, need help from high level.

  The IDM software that comes with ASDM does not support java 1.7. The portion of the ASDM ASA supports 1.7 but launch the IPS cmdlet works only with 1.6. The TAC enginner suggested that I use the IME (IPS Manager Express) which is available for free on the Cisco's (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9610/tsd_products_support_general_information.html) Web site.

  I've been playing with it today, and so far it seems to work pretty well.

• Downgrade IPS on AIP - SSM to 6.1.1 6.0.2

  Need to know how to return to v602 once a v611 upgrade was carried out.

  The recovery partition is also v611.

  Two methods as well as a comment. The comment is that you will want to come back to 6.0 (4), not 6.0 (2) for operational use.

  [edit] The following works of generically on autonomous sensors... I missed that this is a question for the AIP - SSM. It should still work on the AIP - SSM with adjustments for the input/output "foreigner in the area.

  To recover, a reimage using one of the tftp-able images (or a CD boot if you have a sensor 4235/4250) is the gold standard to go backward. You will lose your configuration when do you and you need to re-run the installation program.

  The other way and officially it is not supported for "damages", but it works 98% of the time, is to load the recovery image - r (IPS-K9-r-1.1-a-6.0-4-E1.pkg) and then make an application partition 'recover' the level of the "conf t". This reimage your sensor and preserve the installation of the base system. You will still lose the customizations of signature and passwords will be reset to factory default, but the network configuration is preserved, so you can do it remotely.

• AIP - SSM recreate the image in secondary ASA 5500 (failover) with virtual contexts

  Hello guys,.

  The scenario is as follows:

  2 ASA 5500 with virtual contexts for failover.

  The ASA elementary school has the work of the AIP-SSM20.

  ASA school (which is in active / standby) has its SSM20 AIP to work now and everything is in production.

  Someone tried to configure this 2nd AIP - SSM, changed the password and lost, so I tried to re - the image (without authorized passage recovery), but the connection fails on the TFTP server, where is the image of the AIP - SSM.

  Now questions, documentation Cisco re-imaging view orders under ASA #.

  but as this scenario has several virtual contexts the ASA # shell contains no IP address as you know (which I suppose is the reason why the ASA cannot download the image from the TFTP server) and switch to another context (ASA / admin #) re-imaging commands do not work (hw-module module 1... etc...).

  What is the solution? Is there documentation for it (with security contexts)?

  Thank you very much for reading ;) comment on possible solutions.

  Yes,

  Some things to keep in mind.

  (1) run 'debug module start' on the SAA before running the command "hw-module module 1 recover boot. This will show you the ROMMON of the MSS output as it tries to make the new image and you can look for any errors.

  (2) before trying to download from the SSM, first use a machine separate download tftp from your laptop. This will ensure the TFTP on your laptop works and confirm what directory (if any) that you can use as the file location.

  (3) if the tftp download does not SSM, then the SSM is unable to properly connect to your laptop. You need a crossover cable to connect your laptop to the SSM. If you have a crossover cable, then you could try to connect the MSS and your laptop to a small hub, or configure a new vlan on your switch with only 2 ports and connect the MSS and your computer laptop this vlan 2 port.

  (4) also try the download first at the end of the gateway to 0.0.0.0 since your laptop and the SSM will be on the same subnet. If this does not work then you can try a non-existent 30.0.0.4 address as gateway.

  (5) understand that the IP address that you specify for the MSS using the command "configure the hw-module module 1 recover" is just temporary for download. Once an image is installed, then sitting at the module and run the "setup" command in order to configure the permanent address you want ure on external port of the SSM. This address in the "setup" command can the same as that used in the command 'get the 1 hw-module module configure' or a completely new (as in your case). Just make sure that you connect to the network just to what address you give.

• Unable to coelio Mangement of AIP SSM 10

  Hi all I have configured AIP SSM 10 with a management IP 172.16.x.16/21 and a gateway as 172.16.x.1 and whereas my management system is 172.16.x.13/21 and with the same gateway

  Unable to reach the AIP SSM using telnet or through ASDM IAM, surprisingly, I am able to ping my system the AIP SSM sensor when I login to ASA (session 1)

  Please help me in this regard

  When you run the "setup" on the SSM to give an ip address, do you have the ip address of your access list management system to allow your system to connect to DFS?

  And the external interface of your SSM (the one to which is applied the IP 172.16.x.16), is connected physically to the same network (vlan) that is connected to your Management Server 172.16.x.13?

  (I guess that the wiring is correct, if you can ping the SSM)

• CSM up-to-date IPS AIP - SSM

  Hi all

  I need help. I'm setting up my 3.1 CSM to apply the update on my IPS AIP - SSM.

  I went to the FPS tab apply and choose Update cisco.com. But it's still as treatment for a long time.

  I tried to enter my username and password for the sensors or account of the BCC but still no improvement. Anyone know how to configure it. I tried to read the user guide there is no examples.

  Thank you

  The two IPS - K9 - 5.1 - 8.pkg abd IPS-SSM_10-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.img will recreate the image on the partition recovery and the application partition.

  The System Image will erase everything before starting the imaging process.

  The Service Pack Upgrade file will first of all take the current configuration and convert it to work with the new version and save off the coast. Also several other special folders on the sensor (for example, the license file) will be saved off the coast. The imaging process will run and then the saved to the large files will be automatically applied to the probe.

• AIP SSM-10 - how to check traffic being passed for inspection?

  Hello

  I've implemented an AIP - SSM on our ASA5510 for the first time, as a result of this excellent guide, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a00807335ca.shtml.

  The difference between the environment used in the doco and ours are the specifications of our ASA and module, the following IOS version 8.0 (4), version ASDM is 6.1 (3), the version of the application of SSM is 5,0000 E2.

  I have followed all the steps to enable connectivity to the module of the ASDM, created the access list to allow all ip traffic to be transmitted to the inspection module, map of the class and the political map indicating promiscous mode, relief. The service policy is applied throughout the world.

  The problem I'm having is that when I try to check as indicated on the guide to the alert of events see the command on the CLI module I don't get any output, so I don't know if the traffic is passed to the module. Can someone plese help me clarify this?

  Kind regards

  Esteban

  Run 'show conf' on your AIP SSM CLI. Check interface GigabitEthernet0/1 basket of the MSS background assigned to sensor virtual vs0.

  If it does not, then run "setup" and towards the end of the installation wizard, there will be an option to change the interface and the virtual sensor configuration. Use this option to change the configuration for sensor virtual vs0 and in the interface.

  You can also run "show stat vs0 virtual sensor" to see the number of packets being crawled by vs0.
