Upgrade of the ASA

I have to upgrade the ASA. Can anyone suggest me that it will be better or I have to go to 9.x or higher version of 8.x?

I saw a lot of caveats resolved to 9.x, but a few caveats still there. I'm not able to differentiate these that you warnings are dangerous for our network performance. Can someone tell me about this what warnings are more harmful?

Kind regards

  • How to change the ASA and ASDM on ASA5505 questioned once

    Can anyone suggest the way to upgrade the software on the Cisco ASA5505 simultaneously both ASA and ASDM without trouble, like I just did?

    Here is what happened.  I copied the files asa821 - k8.bin and asdm - 621.bin for flash memory, then renamed the old versions like Oasa724 - k8.bin and Oasdm - 524.bin and then issued the command reload from the GUI of Windows.

    Big mistake, I lost connectivity ASDM entirely and has been obliged to buy a USB to serial port adapter and plug the cable from port of CLI command so she can return to the unit.  I found that he was running the kernel asa821 - k8.bin, as expected, but apparently the ASDM was still under the version 5.24.

    Should I have created a new folder and moved the older versions of this file, then issued the command reload system and hope for the best?

    I feel that I've defiled things upwards, I guess I have to use tftp to reload the boot image to get the ASA5505 back up again (using the ROMMON commands)

    In fact, the only way that I was able to recover the GUI of Windows used start to asa724 image - k8.bin older command.

    What is the right way to upgrade to new versions asa 8.2 (1) and asdm 6.2 (1)?

    Really, I don't want to risk losing my ability to speak with this box and I spent an anxious afternoon yesterday, when I got to the pop-up message box "can not display the asdm manager."

    ======

    After working with the CLI port, I noticed the following error:

    Set of images of Manager devices, but unable to find disk0: / asdm - 524.bin
    Out of config line 75, "asdm image disk0: / asdm-5...» »

    So apparently some configuration file must point to the correct asdm and just blindly change the files in the folder will NOT work.

    ========

    After working more with the port of the CLI and the GUI of Windows port, I found that the 'asdm image' command did NOT work in the CLI software, but was apparently working in the GUI software, so I ran this command to tell the system to use the recent 6.21 on start.

    After that and issuing the command reload of the CLI, I was able to set up successfully with the latest software of asa and asdm.

    I would like to have access to CLI is valuable in this case.

    I DON'T know why the command 'asdm image' appears inaccessible on the CLI port.

    Any ideas?

    As far as I'm concerned this problem has been resolved (using educated error)

    The boot of the ASA when he tries to use the command 'system startup' file in the config. If it is not very well this file (it was not there because you renamed it), it starts the first image he will find...

    However for ASDM ASA uses just the image you have. You were pointing to asdm5.2 and renamed, there was no valied ASDM image to use.

    In other words you must have just changed the 'asdm image"and"system start"commands in the config and point to new files, save the configuration and restart and then it would have worked fine.

    I hope it helps.

  • Upgrade to Cisco ASA 5520 8.2.5 to 9.1.7

    Hello

    I have an upgrade tonight for a customer to upgrade a StandAlone ASA 5520 in version 8.2.5 in 9.1.7. I have the same upgrade week next to the same client for a failover pair.

    I already have this kind of process of 8.2.x upgrade to 9.1.x so I know the entire process, since I have to take a first step 8.2.5 8.4.6 then 9.1.7. In addition this customer has no statement of Nat therefore normally an easy process.

    But today during my routine to prepare for the upgrade (I prefer to make a double or triple check before) I found this bug:

    https://BST.cloudapps.Cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuh19234;JSESSIONID=0A69...

    This bug is fixed in version 8.4.7, and 8.4.6.99. But it is not recommended by the upgrade process for a 8.2.5 to 8.4.7 jump and I can not find the 8.4.6.99 version.

    I don't want to have any problems during my upgrade with something I can avoid.

    As I said I already have this updated in the past without any problem and with a more complex configuration.

    Has anyone as a return to this process for the last months? Should I do an extra step? (before first 8.2.5 to 8.4.5 8.4.6 or 8.4.7)

    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    There are a few incidents reported for ASA 5520 8.2.5 hit this defect running.

    You can go for an extra for 8.4.x upgrade as you mentioned to avoid default we can't say for sure if you will encounter this situation or not.  8.4.6.99 can be a picture of development so be unavailable unless you want to call TAC and confirm or obtain any other image in 8.4.x train.
    Maybe add another upgrade code can't hurt as that hit the bug.

    Kind regards

  • Administration of the ASA via IPSec VPN

    Recently, I upgraded my ASA5505 8.2.1 7.2 and curiously lost the ability to manage a VPN (via ASDM or SSH) unit. Before the upgrade, I was able to connect via a method without problem through the VPN. Internally, I still have no problem.

    The fault on the ASDM client message when I try to connect to remote is "Impossible to launch the 10.x.x.x:4444 Device Manager." If I look at the output of the console mode of information, I see later that there is a "completed by interception TCP Flow' regarding the conversation between ASA and my system remotely.

    The config lines are (I've got running on 443 webvpn):

    http server enable 4444

    255.x.x.x http inside 10.x.x.x

    http 192.x.x.x outside 255.x.x.x

    The 192 is located the beach DHCP VPN that get VPN clients (and I checked) such that these systems are able to connect to the ASDM or SSH management interface.

    Is there another ACL I need to make this work? Not sure why it worked without problem on 7.2 and as soon as I upgraded to 8.2.1, he stopped, without changing the config (manual).

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Point VPN network ssh interface inside rather than the outside, should work, while vpn - ssh to the asa inside the ip address of the interface.

    without ssh 192.x.x.x 255.x.x.x outdoors.

    SSH 192.x.x.x 255.x.x.x inside.

    I'm not sure whether it's a bug on ASA 8.4 or not because I can manage a remote other ASA what version 8.0 software HQ

    Thanks in advance

    Do not know what 8.4 version you use, but it is broken in the 8.4 (2), I stumbled upon the upgrade from same problem. SSH and ASDM will not connect through a VPN L2L interface inside. This worked well in 8.4 (1).

  • The ASA - Client to use SSL and connections options I have?

    We have a large site and have only allowed using IPSEC for all our branch in branch and the user tunnels. We tried SSL years but she limits so we stopped deployment. We must now begin the SSL VPN user and I have a few questions basic ASA.

    I have a unused ASA 5510 for tests that currently holds the 8.3.2 on it, Security code more license, 100 SSL VPN peers and 250 total peers of VPN, VLAN max 100, 2 seconds, active/active contexts, 2 proxies of phone CPU and everything else is disabled. We do not intend on using a SSL connection web anywhere (Anyconnect essentials?) and will not use the entire customer VPN SSL which will be hand loaded on machines or downloaded from the ASA and loaded on the computer if possible. I want to know is what version of the current code can install on my ASA without losing my existing SSL VPN 100 peers license and that the Anyconnect customer would be sustained? I've seen talk about premium Anyconnect but do not know its relationsonship. If I improve the ASA of new releases or versions of code my peer SSL VPN license turns into an Anyconnect Premium license?

    Any help to get started you in the right direction would be appreciated. I know I can spend days trying to understand Cisco licenses and traps and still get burned in the end with the function or the wrong license. Basically, I want to know what I have to install the end-user complete SSL VPN clients and I have to do with the ASA to provide this functionality with current license / feature set there. I also want to know what the end user should be used because it seems that Anyconnect Secure Mobile is the same if I use all its security features. Example - I am not able to check for firewall/malware etc programs but we currently have a policy in place which does not allow browsing the Internet or access when end users have connections VPN tunnel on our site. That restriction will always be kept if this is possible thanks to the SSL VPN connection also.

    Thank you

    Paul

    The SSL VPN client-based license will remain active on your box through Software ASA updates later. AnyConnect Essentials (which you already have) will work with the feature of SSL VPN license.

    You would be upgrading to AnyConnect Premium only if you wanted to add features like clientless SSL VPN (purely based on a browser) or other items such as Advanced Endpoint Assessment (AEA). AnyConnect Premium can coexist with Anyconnect Essentials on the SAA even if you can't mix and match licenses Premium and Essentials.

    Essential distinction or Premium is mainly directed towards the installation of the ASA. The same AnyConnect Secure Mobility client software (version 3.1 is the latest for Windows and OS X and is quite a nice new version) is used in both cases. Functional additional client plug-ins are things such as the AEA and the NAC 802.1 x. Your group policies based on the SAA as no split tunneling, etc. remain in force.

    If you intend to allow clients of mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, and Android (a very limited support for the last BTW)) to access your VPN, you will need to add the mobile on the SAA AnyConnect license and install the client from the respective AppStore. Note that Windows Phone and Blackberry don't are not supported as client AnyConnect.

  • Behavior of the ASA

    Hello

    I wonder how ASA 8.4 handle continued the situation:

    1 IPSEC-L2L tunnel is in place

    2. "no sysopt permit vpn connection" is used, ACL applied to the outside entering for the remote VPN hosts to filter the VPN traffic

    3. IP addresses are used for crypto-field at both ends of the VPN L2L

    What happens if a package intended to be encrypted (IP source addresses and destination are part of the crypto field) arrives on the external interface of the ASA in the clear? ASA will pass, after reviewing the encryption card deciding that this package should have arrived encrypted or any simply permit it seeks external ACL (a not crypto)?

    Thank you!

    The ASA will drop this package. If the packet matches the reverse crypto-definition must arrive in encrypted form. After decryption, the packet is compared to the outside interface.

    This old behavior (no sysopt permit vpn connection)) had a security problem as a malicious service provider was able to send the traffic on your network:

    If you have dynamic branches, you need a dynamic crypto map. The dynamic crypto map was completed the connection time of the branch with the cryptographic-ID proxy. And in the external ACL traffic (typically from RFC1918 in RFC1918) traffic was permitted.

    If the VPN tunnel was not upward, the PIX was not aware of the crypto-definition. But in clear text communication was still allowed in the ACL interface. If the service provider would rout the packets with addresses for the PIX, the traffic has beed accepted but which was never to be received in clear text.

  • Upgrade of the Sierra: where are my pictures!

    Well, I see that a lot of people have this problem but have yet to find an answer to the problem anywhere.  My patience is lost, I despise the fact that I have * money on shit Apple but I need to find my photos.  Stupidly, I'm fallen for Apple BS again and "upgraded" in the Sierra.  Now all my photos and the Organization, that I spent a year are no longer accessible by something else as well as the new 'Photos '.  I never had iPhoto first, never used.  Each thread simple discussion I can find guard speaks of iPhoto and animated for the Photos news images.  I can see the picture files, but all my organization has disappeared; and I can't access my photos of any other application EXCEPT Photos!  If I could find an Apple exec I would slam their face until they cried!

    Someone has a REAL solution to get my photos and the Organization in the way it was before this stupid OS Sierra update?

    < re-titled by host >

    I think you should be able to find your photos here ~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary.

    Presumably, you could also restore your library and its organization of your backup so that you can continue to use any photo library program you usually use.

  • Can't change language after OS upgrade of the Sierra

    Hello world

    After the upgrade of the Sierra, my MacBook Pro has decided to return to the French.

    Now, I am unable to change the language on the menus and dialog boxes.

    I tried to put the English in language and text preferences, same problem.

    I also tried to run sudo languagesetup, same problem.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    See you soon!

    Language changes are not applied immediately to the running applications, but they should be applied to the applications that you start after the change is made. Changes to the Finder will apply if you raise, or to do it easily, just log out and back in.

    Log out and back in? Or restart your mac? If you didn't do it and let us know.

  • should I remove imovie9 before upgrading to the latest version

    I need to upgrade to the latest version of iMovie as 9 does not respond with El Capitan.

    I completely remove 9B before doing this?

    Hello

    No, you don't need to delete iM9 before moving on to iMovie 10.1.2 (latest version).   Both versions may remain on your computer.   iM10.1.2 allows you to update your projects iM9 and events so that they will play on the new version.   So that's why you would leave iM9 on your computer, so that you can make the update.

  • I have Firefox installed 42.0 and works correctly. Yahoo on Firefox indicates this, but Yahoo on Chrome keeps asking me to upgrade to the latest Firefox

    I use mainly Firefox and Chrome only as an emergency backup. I still have backup third IE and Yahoo by default, thus opening 'IE' takes me directly to Yahoo.com. In Chrome and this 'fake IE', Yahoo says to upgrade to the latest Firefox. I even updated a second time to 42.0 Firefox but Chrome and 'fake IE' Yahoo wants the latest update me of Firefox. In Firefox, there is none that question. If so, can or should be done?

    airider said

    And I don't know how Firefox/Yahoo and non Yahoo/Chrome or IE/Auto-Yahoo acknowledges what version I am running.

    Browsers generally identify themselves to Web sites. If you want to see what your browsers send, you can use my test page - the "user agent" string is displayed in red:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    It is a little confusing: browsers may raise on behalf of other browsers to inform Web sites that they can deal with the pages designed for other browsers.

    But browsers do not send a list of ALL of your software on your computer - thank God - so if you visit a site with chrome, it cannot know which version of Firefox, you have, or even if you have Firefox at all.

    There is an exception to this absolute statement, called Flash Local Storage Objects, sometimes called super-cookies. If you visit a site in the browser F and allow the site to use Flash and store data on your computer, then when you visit the same site in the browser to C, if you allow the site to use the Flash, it can read these data and know that you have already visited and connect your two browsers.
