• Update license of IPS ASA - SSM

  Hello

  We have an ASA-SSM-20 IPS, the license has expired and we purchased a Smartnet contract for the device.

  I would like to know how to upgrade the license.

  We tried to do the ASDM, and chose the option updates to cisco.com.we got the following error.

  internal error. Unable to send the license request. -4: unable to proxy transparent tunnel. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden.

  How to solve this problem or how to do when you use the other option, how to get the license file.

  Best regards

  It seems that your AIP-SSM20 is configured to use an http proxy to connect to the Internet. If you allow the IP address of the AIP-SSM20 management in your web proxy, it may solve your problem.

  If this isn't the issue, you can always apply a license manually. Download your license file here:

  https://Tools.Cisco.com/swift/LicensingUI/home

  and apply via the ASDM or the CLI

• 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.

• recharge an ASA - SSM the firewall itself effect?

  We lost the connection information for the IPS - SSM on our ASA 5520. It seems we should re image module with a version more recent software. It is currently not in use i.e. no rules for it on the firewall. This process will take the firewall offline at all?

• The requirements for standby Firewall ASA

  Hello

  I have ASA 5510 firewall with security more license bundle is running in our production environment, and I am now to buy another box for Firewall ensures according to my understanding, the wait should be same as an active firewall.

  Here are the specifications for this run into our existing environment

  1 ASA 5510 Firewall (security more Bundle license, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB Flash)

  And buy the replica of above with security @ License bundle, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB of memory Flash.

  My question is, is there anything else that I'm missing for the firewall to sleep?

  Kind regards

  ASA failover partners must have the same number?

  Hereby I guess that you are referring to the same number of interfaces.  These interfaces must also be of the same type.  so you can't have an ASA with 4 interfaces of concert and the other with 2 interfaces Gig.  Or you can, but you will not be able to use the failover for 2 of the interfaces on the SAA with 4 Gig interfaces.  Similarly, if both ASAs have 4 interfaces but an ASA has 4 interfaces Gig while the other has 4 Fastethernet interfaces, then this only would be not supported.

• ASA-SSM-10 improvement no license or signatures

  I successfully upgraded our ASA-5510 with the latest version of the software.

  Our IPS module however ASA-SSM-10 seems to be the settings to factory default with only an IP address that is configured without any permission or certificates. The ASA-SSM-10 module can be improved with the lack of licenses or certificates? In addition, by using PuTTY I am able to connect to the ASA-SSM-10 module and ping the module and my laptop that I have connected via the management port. I am unable to ping from the laptop to the module of ASA-SSM-10 well.

  Continuing the investigation in addition to the configuration of the management port IP address there is no VLAN, GW, image url or ip address of the configured port. Is there a simple way to upgrade the software on the ASA-SSM-10 without affecting our two ASA - 5510 that are configured for failover?

  I suppose I can do up to a VLAN, GW and port address to get my cell phone to ping to the ASA-SSM-10 module to upgrade without affecting our ASA-5510 that are configured for failover. ***

  You can attach more licenses for the legacy IPS until April 26. But the question is whether it is worth spending time and money in the present. The IPS legacy is dead and you should focus on firepower for IPS. But who does not work on your hardware.

• ASA-SSM-10 inspection load 100% (version 7.0 (5 a) E4)

  Hi all

  I have a challenge with the IPS module in ASA5520, ASA-SSM-10. When we start a try to connect to Web servers, I get a load of 100% inspection and will slow down the traffic/performance.

  We test with 63000 sessions per minute making a load of: the test-servers (clients) on the web servers of 20,000 Kbps and traffic from servers web-back to the test-servers (clients) 75.000 kbits/sec.

  Can you please advise what to do because we cannot live with this environment only when this is fixed.

  Thanks in advance,

  Erik Verkerk.

  We have not used charge of inspection in order to determine the appropriate sensor performance, instead, we have relied on "percentage of failed package" reported by the sensor. When the sensor gets into trouble, that they will begin to run out of packets for inspection, this causes the sensor wrong determination of the TCP State for some of the connections. This causes the sensor to use more resources than necessary to inspect traffic, leading to lack more packages.

  It is its called the "death spiral" and we try to avoid it as much as possible.

  Cisco has a long and proud history of providing performance numbers 'blue sky' for their products. We used to refresh their numbers of performance of the IPS sensor by half, but they made improvements over the years and now we take only about 1/3 wide of reported values. You can see for yourself with real, live production traffic.

  I'm havn; t found the number of signatures in a meaningful way sensor effect performance unless you touch abnormally difficult or lit a large number or tuned to perform many actions per second.

• Upgrade path 5500 series ASA-SSM-10

  Can anyone provide the proper for the 5500 series ASA-SSM-10 upgrade path of

  6.0 (5) E2

  TO

  7.1 (10) E4

  The release notes state that you must run just least 6,0000 e4 could so I just spend 6,0000 E4 5,0000 E2 then directly to 7.1 (10) E4?

  Also, the SSM-10 is able to effectively run the 7.1 (10) E4?

  Hello

  Yes, you can directly upgrade 6.0.5E2 to 6.0.6 E4 and then directly to version 7.1. (10) E4. After the upgrade for the latter, you might even go to latest available patch as well.

  -Yes, SSM1 - is able to effectively execute the 7.1.0E4.

• 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).

• ASA-SSM-20 on the active failover configuration

  You can synchronize configuration between two IPS systems data?

  I have two ASA-SSM-20 (6.1.1 E3) one in each of my the SAA. Of the SAA is the shift in assets. During the configuration of the IPS module I always make these same changes also in the standby unit. Is it possible to synchronize to the top of these two survey periods, so when it is configured the other is updated?

  Thank you very much

  Unlike the SAA, there not an automatic function to preserve the configuration synchronization through SSMs 2.

  A few options:

  You can use the command copy to copy the configuration of a sensor to a ftp/scp server.

  Then use the copy on the second sensor command to copy the configuration on the second sensor. During the copy, it will ask whether to change the IP of the probe to what is in the configuration file. You will need to tell it to NOT change IP of the probe, otherwise you end up with 2 SSMs with the same IP address and are struggling to connect to them.

  Another option is to use the CSM. CSM has configuration that applies to simple sensors, but also the group configuration that can be applied across multiple sensors.

  If you have used the group configuration, then you could make one change to the configuration of the Group and apply it in all the sensors in the Group (you will place your SSMs 2 in the same group).

• 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.

• Cisco Anyconnect/WebVPN license for ASA 5510

  Hello

  Someone could please check the licenses for ASA 5510 attachment and let me know. We currently have ASA 5510 with basic license. According to the table attached under VPN sessions, he mentions that "250 combined SESSIONS IPSec and WebVPN" and to "Max box of WebVPN Session" it is mentioned that 2nd meeting, exceeding that we must buy license optional webvpn. While we the 250 combined license for IPSec and webVPN. We must purchase additional anyconnect license to set up remote access for users who want to use the internal resources from outside the network. OrElse, we don't have to purchase license and can configure webvpn/anyconnect of existing combined license existing users basic ASA license? Waiting for your response. Thank you.

  You are welcome.

  1 Yes

  2 AnyConnect requires no Java, but it can he use when connecting to one AnyConnect SSL VPN client and launch the Web browser option start Java-based. There was a bug with the AnyConnect old versions had later who should have addresses. You also have the option to launch via IE and using ActiveX or simply throw AnyConnect directly - neither of these two methods require Java.

  Thank you.

  Hi Gavin,

  Here is the sample config for ASA's telnet authentication from Tacacs: username admin password xxxxx privilege 15 aaa-server TEST protocol tacacs+ aaa-server TEST (inside) host x.x.x.x  yyy   [x.x.x.x is the ip address of the tacacs server and is reachable from the inside interface and yyy is the shared secret key.] aaa authentication telnet console TEST LOCAL   [This will send the telnet authentication request to the tacacs server first and if it is not reachable then use the local database of the ASA] aaa authentication ssh console TEST LOCAL    [same as above but for ssh session] aaa authorization exec authentication-server    [this enables exec authorization for the telnet and ssh sessions.] 
  aaa authentication http console TEST LOCAL [for HTTP]
  order of accounting AAA TEST [this helps accountants of the order for all orders entered in the telnet or ssh session.]  On the Ganymede server we need to add this ASA as a RADIUS client with shared secret key yyy.
  
  You can find more details: -.

• Equivalent to show disk0: ASA-SSM-10

  Hi, are you able to see the contents of the disc on an ASA-SSM-10 module? As the show disk0: command on my 5510? I know that it is an internal flash drive... Is that where the image files and configuration and software? Can we see these files and copy them to TFTP server?

  See you soon

  Phil

  Hi Philippe,.

  You can view this content through the service of IPS account. The downside is that you can access only with the supervision of TAC. If you want to see the configuration you can do a show config; If you want to see what version you are using you can do this through the show version command.
