ASA Rommon boot guard!

• MacBook pro doesn't boot/guard chrasing (end 2011-17 ")

  Dear community,

  I have a problem with my laptop as expensive. All started a few months ago. Guard just by chance my business, when all of a sudden my screen blink, turning blue, split in two. Hmmm weird, never had this before. Was not any substance is heavy on the machine in time.

  For troubleshooting begins: Reboot, = > boots ok. Yes it works! After 10-15 minutes, the same question. Woohoo!

  Reboot again, this time without success. It gets stuck at the loading screen grey and begins fanning upward. After becoming as hot as Mordor, it stops. Tried a few reboots, but all with the same result.

  Occasionally, it starts successfully and I can work perfect for about 10 to 30 minutes. (After restarting 5ish, at this point I did a backup on an external).

  My first assumption is therefore a bit my HARD drive stopped working. (Had the same problem a few years ago, swap HARD drive fixed)

  So I start with basic stuff. Check if everything is always in place. Swap the RAM, see if everything is still ok.

  Restart the macbook, without success. Same screen.

  Cannot access disk utility, startup does not work either. Memory NVRAM and SMC reset does not work.

  Single user mode is the only thing that seems to work all the time. (Note: I was looking for similar problems a little on the net.)

  I came across a forum a clever solution:

  /sbin/fsck -fy


  /sbin/mount -uw /

  rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

  reset

  TADAA! I can create a new account. Everything seems fine! First thing we do is to check my HARD drive. No problems found. But after 30 minutes ish it crashes again

  Only the same deal in single user mode but this time without success.

  So no start working at this point.

  For some reason any (after 1000000 tries), I went into disk util. So clean it up the installation of the operating system. Installation is made but same problem starting.

  With a friend we swap HDD and my HARD drive (SSD) starts fine on his machine. His HARD drive (windows OS) starts immediately on my macbook.

  But the fun doesn't last long, after 30 minutes of use ish, the macbook crashes again and the startup problem starts again.

  At this point im guessing a hardware problem somewhere. Maybe someone has or has had the same problem or can help with this problem.

  Sorry for the long reading and occasional grammar mistakes.

  Any suggestion or help is gladly appreciated!

  PS: The only thing that had changed was that I bought a new magsafe power adapter but it loads fine.

• ASA 5520 Boot Error: Boot Image too large

  Hello

  I had 2 ASAs in an Active/Active configuration, but when I deleted the current config and passed back to the simple mode I get an error message at startup ' error: Boot Image too wide. " I've not seen any discussions or discussions on this matter. I am not sure, but I think the best way to solve this problem would be to take the configuration of starting of my still working ASA... send it to a tftp server and put it back on my ASA that will not start. If anyone has experience this problem or can give me a definitive answer regarding a possible solution please post a reply.

  Thank you

  You can download the file from the following url. But you must log in using your ID EAC:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ASA

  The two download asa and asdm.

  Once you've got the file asa, load everything first to your ASA. Restart, and then go to the CLI. Load the asdm by using this command:

  copy the flashftp://your-server-IP/pathtofile t: / asdm - 511.bin

• VPN from Site to Site ASA 5505 booting do not

  I have two ASA 5505 running 8.4 and I tried using the VPN Wizard and the CLI, but I'm not able to get peers to initialze.  I watched other configs do not see what is missing. I tried followed the package through the ASDM and its not even seen the VPN tunnel and continues to try to go to the internet.  I have attached two configs for assistance.

  I'm glad you thought the problem and it's gotten the tunnel to initialize. Thanks for posting to the forum and stating what you have found the problem and how you fixed it. It is a good reminder of the importance of ensuring that encryption card corresponds to both ends. Maybe now, you can mark this as resolved issue and this would leave other readers know that there is a solution to this problem here.

  I tried these commands to retrieve the firewall

  SW-module module sfr recover configure image disk0:asasfr - 5500 x-boot - 5.3.1 - 152.img
  SW-module module sfr recover boot

  The threshold of State the same thing, but I can connect to the module of firepower through console session sfr.

  Please can you help me?

  If you started the recovery image, you have a partial installation. You need to go in the module with the command of session and launch the installation. Once you have a Setup "bootstrap" in place, you can complete the recovery process by installing the full image.

  Something like this:

   ciscoasa# session sfr console Opening console session with module sfr. Connected to module sfr. Escape sequence is 'CTRL-^X'. Cisco ASA SFR Boot Image 5.3.1 asasfr login: admin Password: Admin123

  Then run the installation program, followed by 'system install' to load the full image (pkg) package as follows:

   asasfr-boot> system install ftp://@/asasfr-sys-5.3.1-152.pkg Verifying Downloading Extracting Package Detail Description: Cisco ASA-SFR 5.3.1-152 System Install Requires reboot: Yes Do you want to continue with upgrade? [y]: Y Warning: Please do not interrupt the process or turn off the system. Doing so might leave system in unusable state. Upgrading Starting upgrade process... Populating new system image Reboot is required

  Once you reboot, the module of sfr should show that up to. You can then connect back (using admin / Sourcefire), accept the EULA, and end with the re-definition of addressing, and then adding the definition of a Manager.

• E2 engine issue

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  I got four probes of Cisco IPS SSM-20. I'm running 6.0 (3) E1 and did not particularly want to spend 6.0 (4) due to the following:

  CSCsm60273 AIP - SSM rest in State does not respond after the start of ASA5500

  I have a number of downs to this year but he should continue to install updates of the signature, but cannot if I do not upgrade to 6.0 (4) E2 according to your comment below.

  WARNING: After releasing the E2, your sensors must be running release 7,0000 E2 or 4,0000 E2 in order to continue the installation of the updates of the signature.

  I'd rather stay on 6.0 (3) and upgrade to E2 (as this version is eligibale for upgrade of the engine) and wait for the caveat CSCsm60273 is resolved - hopefully in 5,0000 but I then won't be able to apply the signature updates.

  Please can you help me?

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  Rich,

  Understand that CSCsm60273 is not specific to 6.0 (4). It can also happen with the 6.0 (3) that you are already running and likely earlier versions as well.

  It will be also not fixed in 6.0 (5).

  Instead, it was determined to be a bug in the ASA/Rommon and not in the image of the IPS.

  It can be fixed in 6.0 (5) and instead needs a new ASA and/or Rommon to obtain the fix.

  If this bug does not affect your decision whether to move to 6.0 (4).

  Regarding E2 understand than 6.0 (3) is NOT eligible for upgrade to E2. E2 will be created only for 6.0 (4).

  6.0 eligibility (3) for E2 was missing at the end of April.

  Signature policy States "(b) Signature update support for service packs of software currently supported major and minor releases will be supported for at least sixty 60 days after the introduction of a new service pack."

  That's why 6.0 (3) has been fully supported the signature updates (and so engine updates) 60 days after 6.0 (4) published.

  6.0 (4) published at the end of February, so 6.0 (3) support was only guaranteed for 60 days and that was the end of April.

  Now in May is no longer a guarantee of support for signature (or updates to the engine) to 6.0 (3).

  As the E2 does not come you can always install updates of the E1 signature on any sensor E1 (including the 6.0 (3) E1). But when E2 is released it only supports 6.0 (4). It will not support 6.0 (3) because when E2 break it will have been more than 60 days since 6.0 (4) has been released.

  NOTE: E2 will also support the latest service pack on the train 5.1 which is 5.1 7.

  If you use SATA drivers then the SATA in the BIOS mode option must be on AHCI.
  If you n t use drivers SATA you will need to set compatible mode.

• C50-30 guard reset of the UEFI boot sequence

  Fedora 22 works fine on the C50-30 and starts fine with Secure Boot. However I still have to press F12 and select manually the Fedora shim on each (re) start, because for some reason any firmware guard reset the boot order to put Windows first.

  No matter if I move Fedora over Windows boot manager in the configuration utility, or efibootmgr allows you to change the order. After leaving the installation utility, the command is immediately reset to zero.

  I missed another adjustment here, or is this a bug in the firmware? BIOS version is O1XKT06AUS.

  It's a bug in the firmware. No problem if I rename \EFI\Microsoft to something else and make a new entry EFI (and adjust the GRUB configuration).

• VPN does not boot... ASA 5505

  Hi all

  I encountered a problem and hopefully one (or more!) of you have seen this before.

  I configured an ASA5505 to be endpoint tunnel VPN Lan to Lan, peering with a Linux links.  The SAA is full licensed so that side is not a problem.

  PROBLEM:

  When the tunnel is initialized from the linux box everything is happening very well except the ASA is not encapsulation of packages.  They are decrypted packets from the Linux box agreement, but not return traffic are encryption.

  When the tunnel is initialized to the ASA, nothing happens.

  After some troubleshooting I found that the ACL defines interesting traffic or the ACL setting NO_NAT will are not affected at all.

  ACL for NO_NAT:

  access-list NO_NAT line 1 Note USED ACL TO DEFINE WHAT TRAFFIC NOT NAT ON THE VPN

  permit for line NO_NAT of access list lengthened 2 ip host LINUX-AREAS of PAMS_SERVER object-group 0xc736d5fb

  allowed to Access - list NO_NAT line 2 extended host ip PAMS_SERVER 10.11.228.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt = 0)

  ACL for interesting traffic

  LNX_IPSEC list of access; 2 elements; hash name: 0xda433bf

  Line note 1 LNX_IPSEC to access list ACL USED TO DEFINE WHAT TRAFFIC to ENCRYPT

  permit for line LNX_IPSEC of access list lengthened 2 ip host LINUX-AREAS of PAMS_SERVER object-group 0x49989fbd

  allowed to Access - list LNX_IPSEC line 2 extended host ip PAMS_SERVER 10.11.228.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt = 0) 0x6f1aad85

  permits for Access - list extended LNX_IPSEC line of 3 ip host 10.1.85.156 LINUX-AREAS of 0x034eece3 object-group

  allowed for extended access list of 3 ip host 10.1.85.156 LNX_IPSEC line 10.11.228.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt = 0) 0xc3b2fc0b

  I checked with the administrator of the linux machine and the definition of interesting traffic is exactly the same (except in reverse, that should be the case).

  The firewall is doing other things such as NATs and as too but the NATs have nothing to do with this VPN.  The configuration is a LAN connection to LAN with no natting between the two.

  The main parts of the config are attached, I deleted that should have an impact on this, but if you think it is necessary I can clean up the config and re-post.  I think it will work very well as long as the traffic hitting these ACLs, but they are not and I'm not sure why.

  Right now I don't see anything when doing a Cree debugging ipsec or debug cry ISA.  The ACL are not being touched so I think he's trying to not even form the VPN as it can not see all traffic which is being 'interesting '.

  Has anyone seen this problem before or someone has any advice that I might be able to use to make it work?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Brad

  How are those that hosts (PAMS_Server and 10.1.85.156) which is routed? You did not include the routing within the clinical setting and wondered if the routing is correct.

• Computer guard boot in safe mode, following a bad virus

  Hello world.
  My laptop was recently infected by a rather nasty virus that stopped me being able to open my anti-virus (avast) software in order to get rid of it. There was a lot of other programs I could not open the internet including Explorer. I left my computer for a few days and decided to buy a system restore software to completely erase my hard drive. I was quoted £50 so I decided to have a last date. I started windows in safe mode and miraculouly managed to open avast this time, I did a full scan and 9 infected files deleted.
  All the virus seems to have disappeared, but there are a few remaining problems. Now, whenever I turn on my computer windows starts in safe mode (even when I select the option to start windows normally). Windows Explorer keeps not working and closure (for example, when I try to go to the control panel) and my laptop will not connect to internet broadband in my house.
  Is it possible that I deleted some important system files while getting rid of the virus, or everyone recognizes it as something else? I'm scared, I'm just a normal user, and I don't know too much about computers so please go easy on me.
  I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.

  My operating system is windows vista.

  see you soon

  The only way for me to do things to normal is if I BREAK the sequence starting with ESC and go into ROMMON mode. I then issue a start command for the SAA to start with 7.0 (8) default IOS Image.

  Please can someone explain what is the problem here?

  Apologies if I'm missing something obvious that I'm not an expert of the SAA.

  Looks like that the ASA is hitting a field notice: fn62378. The FN, it's because of the incompatible version of hardware and software. Please upgrade to version 7.1.2 instead of 7.1.1. If you plan to spend in 8.2. So instead of going 7.1.2 you could go to 7.2.5 (recommanded), then 8.2.5

  It will be useful.

  Kind regards
