Flow of firepower of ASA

Hi guys,.

I noticed of Palo Alto and other sellers specify a much higher rate for their new generation compared to Cisco solution, when they make the full filtering URL, antivirus and anti-spam protection

I think it's because they treat the package in parallel where ASA he treats one by a single module, is that correct?

For example, ASA a past traffic to URL filtering, then Spam and then...

Where as Palo Alto passes to the URL and SPam and... all at once so achieve a significantly higher flow rate.

on this basis, it is correct to say that Cisco may not be the dealer in this area due to how they manage the firepower?

I think the best way to address this issue is using NSS Labs reports. They publish an annual report which includes a chart to see how much you pay by protected Mbit/sec. Given that the supplier has published performance data are not always correct that you can watch their conclusions.

I don't know if you're talking about absolute return (e.g. 7080 PAN vs FP9300), but in case you do I would say looking at the relative numbers and check what bitrate you lose by using for example the IPS.

Architecture: hardware wise performance will always beat the software. FPGA used for specific loads occur always better than generic processors. Parallel processing is not something that each salesperson makes. Try to not get lost in the marketing of buzz and just analyze the performance counters and see how they compare when it comes to price - at the end of the day an architecture that results in better performance of 10%, but 100% higher price might not be what you're looking for.

  • I do not have "Firepower of ASA Configuration" menu in ASDM

    Hello

    I do not have "Firepower of ASA Configuration" menu in ASDM.

    I already configured IP to the management port 0/0 10.226.24.181 also to the 10.226.24.130 of the SFP Manager.

    I can ping 10.226.24.130 ASA CLI and have tab in ASDM (with https://No DC configured the button).

    You can see in attachment

    Help, please

    You have an ASA 5525 - X and the module of firepower is 5.3.1 - 152. To manage the power light module on that platform via ASDM requires the runtime current software 6.0 or later version (and your ASDM must be 7.5 (1.112) or later version).

    Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asdm/7_5/release/notes/rn7...

    If you want to upgrade the module of 5.3 to 6.0 and you do not have fire power manager, then the way ahead is to reimage using the 6.0 system images and boot. This procedure is illustrated below:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/ASA-firepower-service...

    You need the images available here:

    https://software.Cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286271172&flowid=...

    Expand the tree on the left and look under all versions 6.0 > 6.0.0. Use the files asasfr-5500 x-boot - 6.0.0 - 1005.img and asasfr-sys - 6.0.0 - 1005.pkg.

    After getting it to work, you should also update further the the latest version (currently 6.0.1).)

  • Policies of firepower on ASA local after adding to the FireSIGHT Center of Mgmt

    Are the settings and policies of an ASA local with shattered fire or power of substitution to the addition of the device that will be managed by the management center of FireSIGHT? I have an ASA that works stand-alone with FP and now need to add FireSIGHT Defense Center/Management Center without losing existing policies.

    Thank you.

    Simply adding as successful will not overwrite the local policies of the firepower of the ASA module gave.

    However, as soon as you deploy any policy (access control, Intrusion, file), healthcare etc. Since FireSIGHT Management Center it will overwrite the one on the SAA.

    You can export one local by using the ASDM Manager and then import it into FireSIGHT for re-deployment as a management centrallly policy.

    VPN traffic could be analized before encryption occur in the ASA, when you transfer the traffic to the module it supposed to be without any encryption and based on political access control you can perform any action on the traffic or the return traffic to the ASA and continue the process of encryption or build the VPN appliance of SourceFire.

  • The traffic load between the power of Cisco ASA and FireSight Management Center fire

    Hi all

    I have a stupid question to ask.

    Can I know what is the traffic load and the e/s flow between firepower Cisco ASA and FireSight Management Center?

    Currently working on a project, client require such information to adapt to their network. Tried to find in the document from Cisco, but no luck.

    Maybe you all have no idea to provide.

    It varies depending on the number of events reported from the module to the CSP. No event = only health controls and policy changes are exchanged. 10,000 events per second = much more traffic.

    Generally it is not a heavy load, however.

  • ASA 5515 WITH LICENSE OF FIREPOWER

    Hello support team,

    We have configured cisco ASA 5515, firepower module added in it.

    Please give technical support to add L-ASA5515-TAMÁS = (Cisco IPS of firepower ASA5515, AMP, and Licenses of URL).

    @amalmichaelvj ,

    You are welcome.

    You can switch to FMC at any time. That one type of management can be used at a time given.

    FMC is supported by VMware (5.1 and 5.5), KVM and AWS. I would say that 95% or more of the facilities use VMware as the two platforms of the latter were just be presented earlier this year.

    You can find installation guides quick for all platforms supported here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/defense-center-virtual-app...

    'Control' license free of charge (also known as "Protect + Control" is required for all the firepower of ASA modules.) Without it, you will not be able to deploy and enforce and other features (i.e., IPS, filtering URL or Advance Malware Protection features that are included in your license of TAMAS type).

    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?

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.

It is part of the solution if you buy above subscriptions. The main difference here is that IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is deployed in line and he will drop the traffic/connections if a malicious activity is detected. IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is monitor only. Thus, if the malicious traffic is detected, firepower will alert you to this topic but he will drop all traffic.

  • Need help - Cisco ASA with the power of fire

    Hello

    Currently, we use asa 5510 without function of firepower. Our goal is to publish web servers and microsoft lync with reverse proxy method. control internet traffic, apply extensions individual file not to download, management of bandwidth etc.

    Is it possible if we add firepower on asa 5510... Please guide me... Thank you

    Power of fire must be installed on the new series X of the SAA.  5512 x, x 5515, 5525 x, etc.

    If you have a 5510, you probably want a 5512 x with an SSD.  Cisco has beams of firepower include the ASAx with SSD and the license of firepower.

    Adds that you must also Firesight management software, and there is a license bundle of 2 camera for under $ 500 that you can install on VMWare.

    Firepower is not reverse proxy, it's transparent online packages, analysis and filtering by URL / Application / and threat mitigation.

    If you want a reverse proxy, you should look into Microsoft ISA server or a Proxy Server reverse dedicated Web.  Cisco gave its product Web Director, who has done this function.

    You can host Web sites behind a firewall of ASA without proxy reverse.  And the ASA has an inspection of the request for HTTP traffic, responsible for watching HTTP requests.  The firepower to the ASA system also has specific signatures that monitor traffic to the web servers and prevent specific vulnerabilities that are known on those servers, so if that is what you want the Reverse Proxy for, then the power of fire module would probably cover your needs.

    Don't forget that until the next quarter firepower system has no decryption on the box, and you might want to wait that the feature is released and put in place, so that you know what size firewall you need protect your network with the SSL decryption.  I believe that the ASA5512x is testing at 75 Mbps stream decrypted via the fire power module, which is about half of what was before CX, then you could use the sizing numbers CX and extrapolate until Cisco releases official decryption numbers.

  • Filtering in Cisco ASA using module sfr Web

    Hello

    I have Cisco ASA 5515-x version 9.2 (2) and I use ASDM version 7.2 (2). I module 5.3.1 LICO of ASA. I want to activate the ASA web filtering feature. Previously, I used the method of expression regex in the SAA to perform url filtering, but it was not effective. Since then, I have the license for the management of firesight I want to use it.

    But I am confused as some cisco docs say to set the firesight management in vmware while others offer to run the boot image in the SAA itself. What is the right way to do it?

    The show module command, I see that my module of sfr is in place so that means the sfr module is pre-installed, and I can't do a lot of configurations?

    It would be better for me to run ASA itself, but if it does not work like that then I will configure in VM. So please me clearify that concerns my options and my best chance.

    If it should be installed on a virtual machine or ASA itself, then please give me the link to download the boot images and other files on cisco.com. I have the user name and password, but did not find the correct software.

    Thank you in advance.

    Your ASA 5515-x performs the minimum version required to support the fire power module (sfr). The module also runs the initial version of the software of the firepower for ASA-based module firepower.

    With this combination of Software ASA and firepower on your device, you will need to use an external administrator of firepower to manage module (create strategies, apply licenses, monitor events etc.).

    From ASA 9.5 (1) and firepower 6.0, you have the opportunity to make the most of the same functions via ASDM. You must upgrade the ASA (both ASDM) and firepower to achieve module.

    In both cases, you should Protect licenses and URL filtering for the module of firepower.

    I need to KNOW for the firewall of the firepower of ASA for the Site to site VPN sessions or client sessions vpn site need no license.

    The ASA 5516 X (with or without fire power module) is fully approved for IPsec site-to-site VPN until the capacity of the equipment (300 for this platform).

    "customer site" or to speak (if SSL or IPsec IKEv2) VPN remote access, require licenses AnyConnect. There are 2 Premium / Apex licenses included with all the ASAs which are there mainly to test the feature.

    If you want to set up for multiple users, you can buy AnyConnect. Currently, it is available in two versions - more and Apex. More is a base of remote access VPN and the client must be installed on the end user's computer. Apex is the top version with many more advanced features and may possibly be used to configure clientless SSL VPN by which the end user only needs a browser.

  • FMC 6.1 upgrade break my FTP

    Hello

    I have made a transition from my virtual FMC of 5.4 to 6.1 but kept 5.4.x on my power of fire ASA for a while. Nothing has changed in the rule set while I improved from 5.4 to 6.1, but the next day I applied the config of 6.1 to my modules of firepower I started to have a broken FTP transfer reports.

    It is a passive FTP transfer between two servers on two different subnets inspected by the firepower of ASA. The journal of the ASA reports the file was stored on the receiving server, but the sending application indicates a transfer error and that half of the file is actually stored.

    If I omit the flow of power to fire all the FTP works. I tried a few rules of fire power with or without the IPS, plain and records 'allow all' but nothing works.

    I always use ASA old FTP inspection services which I think intrudes. Think you folks?

    Edit: I did some trial and error and it seems that the inspections of the SAA FTP has no effect, it's the power of fire. If I create a special assignment for the work of specific stream transfer rule FTP. Accept the transfer with or without IPS, records or any other characteristic breaks.

    Concerning

    Fredrik

    I opened a TAC case and the only solution is to put a special assignment for the FTP Server rule. The other two options are not viable.

  • ACL LocalFW Vs pushed Firesight ACL

    Hi guys

    If we have a strategy pushed Firesight to ASA network and it has a local policy on the interface, which would override?

    Also is there a way we could check on the SAA what policy he received from Firesight?

    How do you push a policy to the Firesight ASA?

    Do you mean that you have a policy thrust to the firepower of the ASA service module?

    In this case, these are quite different things. The ASA evaluates the passage of the ACL interface occupants when the package is presented to the interface. The service module evaluates the flow against its policies when it receives the package from the ASA parent under the policy-map.

    Is not one or the other, is both and the net result is their cumulative policy when it is applied in the series (as a Boolean 'AND' logical).
