• IPS Failover online

  Hello

  I want online proposed IPS in a network, but have as ASA failover option. If an IPS has failed, then the entire network down then what to do.

  So what I take work decession IPS in promicious mode. Pls can expect good suggation.

  Concerning

  Handsome

  Unfortunately there is no mechanism for failover for IPS sensors.  You can configure the sensor to fail open so that if the IPS Engine don't traffic will bypass inspection and continue to pour in.

• IPS failover

  Hi all

  I recently designed a solution with firewall failover in active standby mode.

  now, I have to add IPs in inline mode. with resume function.

  (1) is their all switch 4210 IPS? Yet how many signatures is 4210 supports...

  (2) map of CSC a substitute card IPS on ASA?

  (3) will be CSC - asa - 4210 ips - within the network, slowing due to scanning repeated at various levels?

  Thank you

  I will try to answer.

  (1) I know there is no failover feature in Cisco IPS.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5729/ps5713/PS4077/white_paper_c11-459025.html

  According to the IPS has no additional effect on traffic firewall failover, but IPS cannot be clustered.

  You can configure the bypass feature for addresses emergency equipment IP allow traffic through it when IPS fails or fail-close function lets you stop traffic when IPS fails.

  (2) SCC is not 100% substitute for IPS.

  (3) it depends on your network.

• ASA-SSM-20/40 IPS Software upgrade quesiton

  I'm looking to upgrade the IPS modules (ASA-SSM-20 and ASA-SSM-40) on two different ASA to ver 7.1 (11) E4 under this field notice:

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/640/fn64080.html

  My question is around if traffic through the firewall is affected during this update and subsequent restart of the IPS module.

  On the ASAs, a service policy is in place that will allow the traffic in the case where the IPS module becomes unavailable.  It comes, it will actually happen during the update?

  Suggestions and comments are welcome.

  Thanks in advance.

  John

  If your IPS is inline and as a whole do not open then the traffic through the ASA (in assuming an ASA standalone and do not form part of a pair of HA) will not be affected when the service IPS module reload.

  If an SAA is in a pair of HA and a service (ips, cxsc, or sfr) module fails, it will be by default triggers a failover event. (ASA 9.5 introduces the possibility to change this behavior.) The result is the same - no service interruption (Although TCP connections may need to restore if you have not configured stateful failover).

• The upgrade of a pair of PIX525 failover to 6.3 (?)

  I'm upgrading to our PIX of 6.2 (2) to one of the 6.3 codes and I have 2 questions. First of all, I can spend the failover, recharge and waiting for the PIX to come pack in failover, or will it have problems because of the difference in version and possibly come active (both active at that time here). I want to upgrade the failover reload, fail the active PIX of him who runs the new code, upgrade the second PIX and recharge. When that one is in place, not to return. All this with no interruption of traffic through the pair of PIX.

  Secondly, what version of 6.3 should I be worms, 6.1, 6.2, or 6.3 upgrade?

  0 time upgrade procedure for a pair of PIX failover a feature we have on our radar. No timetable for a release with this feature, but you are not alone in wanting this kind of functionality. Unfortunately, it is not a simple solution as one might think, but we are working on that.

• Upgrade ASA zero downtime

  I have a pair of ASA-5585-X in a failover active-standby configuration.  They are running the version of the software 8.4.3.  I'm looking to upgrade to 9.1.1.  From the release notes, I understand that, in order to perform an upgrade "no interruption of service", I need to spend the last minor version in a major release for the next major release.  On this basis, my understanding is that the upgrade would require three steps: Version 8.4.5, 9.0.1, 9.1.1.  Is this correct?

  Is it possible to go directly from 8.4.3 to 9.1.1 and if so, what are the operational considerations of this upgrade?  My reading of the release notes is not to indicate any special procedure that will be followed either by performing the steps in upgrade.  I suppose there may be a period of service interruption, but I could see not any special requirements to perform a direct upgrade.

  All information on the dangers of a direct upgrade are appreciated.  Operational experience (such as "it my network on fire and killed three kittens") much appreciated.  Save the kittens!

  Thanks,-Ed

  You can directly upgrade from 8.4 (3) 9.1 (1). Yes the release notes recommend to go via 8.4 (5) and 9.0 (1), but it is not really necessary.

  Standard procedure. In short:

  • load the image on disk0 two units:
  • change the initialization variable
  • Save the config change
  • the active unit, "failover reload-standby.
  • wait for successful reload and verify the configuration is synced OK. You expect a message that mate version of the software is different.
  • "no failover active" on the active unit
  • Connect to the newly active unit and "failover reload-standby.
  • wait for top-up meet and verify the configuration is synced OK. Both units are now on 9.1 (1).

  Optionally, change your main unit to on if that bothers you. I would like to delete the old image once things are OK after a few days. You must also update your ASDM image (and the varaible pointing to it) while you're there.

  No kittens are harmed in this process.

• ASA with different failover module IPS

  Hi all

  Is it possible to configure the failover of the ASA with different IPS module configuration because we have: ASA 5585-X with firepower PHC-10 and ASA 5585-X with IPS SSP-10

  Thank you

  Inventories of material (basic unit, memory and optional modules) must be the same in a pair of failover ASA.

• IPS modules in the ASA config for active/passive failover

  Hey guys,.

  We have two ASA in a situation of active/passive failover each with a module AIP-SSM-20 IPS.

  These modules are intended to synchronize their configs like the ASA do? Alternatively, they each have a separate entity and each need to be configured separately?

  Thanks for any help!

  Each will have their own IP address, and each must be configured separately.

  They will not communicate with each other and share no configuration.

  You will need to make sure the config is changed in one of the other.

  Monitoring station pull events from two sensors.

  The SSMs rely on the SAA for the TCP state tracking so they will work very well in a design of failover ASA.

• IPS 4260 failover

  Active passive failover support. And can you just use a sensor set fail open?

  It not statefull failover for Cisco IPS sensors. You can set the sensors do not open, but only the 4260 has a capacity of hardware logon failure. This means that other sensors must fail in such a way that they KNOW that they have failed to move traffic around the sensor. According to my experience, this isn't a reasonable assumption to make and you would be better maintained do another failure of opening with a switch of eaternal arraingements.

• CSCuj81593 - failover interface ASA tracking status unknown after active reload

  Hello

  We use the software Version 9.1 (4) on ASA 5545.

  When you switch to show, we get the following result:

  This host: primary: enabled

  Activity time: 10847 (s)

  slot 0: ASA5545 hw/sw rev (status 1.0/9.1(4)) (upward (Sys)

  Interface to the outside (83.236.222.116): unknown (pending)

  Interface inside (172.17.220.130): Normal (pending)

  Management interface (0.0.0.0): link down (not guarded)

  Another host: secondary - ready Standby

  Activity time: 448 (s)

  slot 0: ASA5545 hw/sw rev (status 1.0/9.1(4)) (upward (Sys)

  Interface (0.0.0.0) outdoors: unknown (pending)

  Interface (0.0.0.0) inside: unknown (pending)

  Management interface (0.0.0.0): link down (not guarded)

  The problem is that the interface tracking does not work.  If the ethernet on the inside (or outside) interface cable is removed, we do not get a failover.

  Can anyone make a suggestion please?

  Donald

  Hi Donald,.

  'Re missing you the "Standby" IPs on each interface.  This is necessary for the failover interface followed.  Once you assign day before IPs, the output of "show failover" display these files directly on the device in standby, and interfaces will be from 'pending' to 'Normal '.

  Sincerely,

  David.

• The IPS with ASA5520 failover

  We have a pair of 5520 s defined as active / standby, the two have an AIP - SSM.

  These two AIP are set to automatic update, that the SIG files so this is not a problem, but what about detecting active? The primary IPS will have seen a lot of traffic that switching IPS is not how active rule sets is performed when the ASA switches to the rescue unit? Will I 'holes' in my security of lack of sets of rules?

  Hello

  The units of the IPS are completely independent and don't sync anything without additional aid (for example using the Manager of security or other).

  Given their auto-update is good, but you must also ensure that the config is replicated, so when you make a change on one that you have to remember not to make the same change on the other.

  Situation normal active IPS is transfer of traffic (and sleep mode sees nothing), but when they flipping the day before IPS is suddenly in the ASA active - he doesn't know that the other IP address is out of action, he sees just the traffic which it will inspect according to its configuration.

• do hw-module 1 refill cause failover?

  1. make "reload hw-module 1 ' to reload cause failover IPS that make ASA02 become active if ASA01 is initially activated?

  2. is this command "reload hw-module 1 ' can only apply to the active unit?   in other words, if I type this command in secondary ASA02 unit that is active, this command can not recharge IPS02, I have to do the first failover ASA02 active prior to reload IPS02?

  Hello

  Years1: Yes, 'hw-module 1 reload' would cause failover and would do as Active ASA02. This is because the recharge of the module on ASA02 would make the ASA unit as unhealthy.

  Years2: command "hw-module 1 reload" is independent of the active / standby. It is a unit based control. It could be implemented on both standby unit.

  If you are usually reload the module or the upgrade of the module, then it is always recommended to recharge the module on the standby unit for unit Active to stay healthy and continue to pass traffic. Once you reload the device to sleep, he would go to State failure first and then, when the module is fine, he returned to standby state.

  Then replace Active standby unit, and then reload the newly formed rescue unit.

  Hope that answers your questions.

  Kind regards

• The field for local network IPs access permissions

  Is an error or a restriction of the service if I have added ' * ' to avoid restrictions on access area on my app it works only on public IP addresses and is not with local network IPs?

  (ie. my phone WiFi 192.16.1.116 and trying to access information on a pc with 192.16.1.119, result: timeout)

  If the same request is made to a public IP (pc) IE. 200.31.90.37, then it works as expected.

  NOTE:

  -This request for access is made by a webworks installed on the phone app. the answer is in JSONP format.

  -PC firewall disabled.

  Tests failed

  -Tests on wifi, access to a local IP network with the phone on and off data service

  Successful trial

  -Tests on Internet, access a public IP, same phone, same app.

  As indicated in the following link, there is no indication that this behavior is expected:

  http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/developers/deliverables/27280/Allowing_access_to_external_resources_an...

  If anyone knows an example where "*" works for LAN IPs please let me know.

  Kind regards

  OK... sit tight for this possible explanation

  A BlackBerry has two different designs to consider:

  (1) physical network connection

  (2) selection of transport

  The physical network connection is pretty self explainatory (wifi, bluetooth, GPRS, CDMA).  The selection of Transport can better be seen as a VPN Tunnel/connection.  Such transport may be BES, BIS, direct TCP, WAP etc gateway.

  Even if you're on WiFi, you can still have your transport (VPN) connected through BIS.  This is configured through your application settings.

  The browser from on the BB6 uses special transportation (no available applications) who did essentially the equivalent of a DNS lookup and follows a logic to see how endpoint can be accessed.  It will then forward through the transport that's going to happen to its endpoint.

  So in the browser, it detects your IP address isn't public and a rebooking via the TCP/IP connection direct to go directly to your local server.

  In a BlackBerry application, you must declare your list of transport order which I will try and failover to the other if it is not reachable on the first transport.

  Stopped default transport is in an application of WebWorks BES, BIS - B, TCP_WIFI, TCP_CELLULAR, WAP2, WAP

  More information on transport in WebWorks here:

  http://docs.BlackBerry.com/en/developers/deliverables/27261/Widget_element_834671_11.jsp#RIM_connect...

  In your case, you would have to change the order of the TCP_WIFI put everything first.  WARNING: Different transport have different failover times.  B BIS and BES are instantly switched if they are not enabled with this service. TCP_WIFI will actually make a connection delay before switching.  So if you don't have a WiFi connection, it will timeout on each request for a resource before it tries then BIS - B.

  So, it boils down to what you want your app to be able to do.  If she wants to access the public IP addresses, then you want to keep the default transport order.  If you want it to be able to discover the local and public IP addresses, then you will have a little more work to do.

• ASA status interface failover: Normal (pending)

  I've been struggling with this, I have two ASA running 8.6 that show the interfaces being monitored as well.

  I'm under 9.2 on these and tell waiting interfaces. Also can I disable SPI monitored? I ask only the cause at the time where the IPS is a module of the SAA, if I had to restart, the units would be tipping. I don't know if it's the same now with the IPS is a software based inside the ASA running on a separate hard drive.

  I read also not to use a design where a cable is directly connected to each unit, and instead each interface must connect on a downstream switch port so that the status of the link is still up to a firewall interface if the other firewall interface fails. Otherwise, the two units detects a link down condition and assume that their own interface is down. Never really thought about it in that sense. Anyone use a direct attached cable and have problems?

  Hello

  I rarely troubleshoot failover configurations so I am little rusty with associated with these problems.

  First thing that comes to mind is that configurations under interfaces has "standby" configured IP address? I wondered as the changeover seems to be configured and the link between the units is fine but the unit ready standby shows just 0.0.0.0 for each interface.
