View CSM?

Hello veterans, WSC

I am a Cisco reseller and I have a client who wants to manage approximately 20 firewalls which are all ASA 5510 basis. No network, no SSM module. They want an integrated management and they want the opportunity to upgrade their ASAs simultaneously by pressing an image with just a few clicks (not each ASA individually). They would also like to be able to aggregate tables, graphics and other information in a single view if possible.

Three questions:

1. how well CSM must perform these tasks?

2. can you recommend a good brochure/document/video that examines the ASA management capabilities?

3 MSC seems not only frequently updated (the last of today, 4.2, has been published on 08/09/2011). Is this a well adopted and mature platform? I don't want to sell something that it will be EoS. What are your thoughts about the viability of the CSM, say, 5 years?

Thank you

Justin

The use case seems tailor-made for the capabilities of the CSM. The tasks that you have described are all skillfully made by MSC.

There is not a good brochure 'The SAA management' I know. The Product of the CSM pages and Support are a good start.

If you are a Cisco partner, there is a presentation very good training, the security team did last month. The Webex is archived. Search as "Cisco Security - level"Expert"partner training program" in the pages of the partner community.

4.2 is a very current version 4.x generally represents some important resources development and investment on a part of Cisco It has been deployed throughout the first Cisco system (yet) - but I would not be surprised to see that in the future as she always has some of the "Common Services of the LMS" Cisco foundations.

  • FWSM syslogs are not displayed in the event 4.1 CSM Viewer

    I have MSC 4.1 the observer of events and it should now support FWSM syslogs. The FWSM context now appears as device monitored the event viewer and I can see that the system receives the syslogs (the capture of packets on the server).

    But they are not displayed? Why?

    Rgds.

    Which version is the FWSM performer?

    You can use the event viewer with FWSM running software versions 3.1.17+, 3.2.17+, 4.0.10 + and + 4.1.1 only.

  • CSM 4.2

    Hi Netpros,

    I am to evaluate the software eval of CSM 4.2 90 days. I installed and deployed on a VM environment and turns on a regular basis. I am facing

  • To test if the CSM 4.3 installation is good

    Hello world

    Just installed the MCS 4.3 server software.

    I have 5 icons on desktop.

    How can I test if the installation is good?

    Decide whether to use workflows or in mode without workflow and management or non-ticket ticket management mode. Change the Configuration Manager server preferences accordingly. (Tools, Security Manager Administration, and then select the options accordingly. Most of the facilities of low or little-mono-user require not either of these modes.)

    Import a couple of firewall in configuration manager. Look at their configurations and analyze their sets of rules of access list.

    Change them to send their syslog on the CSM server messages. Make sure the event are visible in the event viewer.

    Once you have some data as reference point (i.e. a few days after the implementation of the foregoing), look at your devices in monitor performance and health.

  • Is it really possible to return signatures IPS of CSM

    Hi people,

    I tried to return IPS signatures that I deployed through policies of the Signature of the CSM to the old version, but it doesn't seem to work. Against this Cisco CSM guide says:

    If you decide that you don't want to apply an update of the signature, you can return to the

    last update by selecting the political level Signatures on the device, by clicking on the view

    Update level button, then click on restore

    I can't imagine that it is possible that the signatures are normally compiled into xml files. How the sensor would he?

    Eugene

    When installing a copy of the files that will be replaced or updated during the installation is copied to a backup directory.

    The CLI has a "downgrade" command that can uninstall the update and backup copies will be used to replace the removed files.

    A few things to know:

    (1) old configuration will be copied back. If the changes made since the update may be lost.

    (2) this only works for Signature and engine updates. Service Packs, minor updates and major updates replace the full operating system, so there is too much data to make backup copies.

    (3) this only works for the update installed. Once you have decommissioned the more recent, you cannot downgrade the earlier.

    (4) this can be done through CLI and now also available in MSC.

    Here are some things to check for in your situation where it seems to not work.

    Log on to the sensor and run 'display the worm '.

    History in the output of 'see the worm' shows a package of Signature Update as the last installed update?

    If it is then either an another downgrade was already completed, or Major Update, minor update, or Service Pack has been installed the last packet and cannot be downgraded.

    If it cannot be done through CSM you could try the CLI' "downgrade" command and see if it works through the CLI or if the CLI gives you an error and the explanation.

  • question on the EMI and CSM

    Hello

    I installed IME to a server to manage the network IPS of 6500 package, and I would like to install on the same MCS server to manage the same Catalyst 6500 FWSM. I have several questions:

    -Can I have installed and running in the server IME and CSM sane?

    -CSM contain the same features EMI and much more?, I mean, that's enough with the CSM to manage FWSM and IDS-2 network of 6500 modules?

    -Do the MSC provides a better view of the FWSM newspapers than other applications? Which is the best tool to view the logs of the FWSM, I want to say is a tool like view newspaper checkpoint for FWSM?

    -My client has 2 Catalyst 6500 and 1 installed in each 6500 FWSM, two FWSM mode active/pasive redundancy, I consume 1 or 2 licenses of CSM?

    Thank you

    Kind regards

    Juan Luis.

    Hi Juan,

    - Can I have installed and running in the sane server IME and CSM?

    Yes.

    - Does CSM contain the same functionality of IME and more?, I mean, it is enough with CSM to manage FWSM and IDS-2 network modules of 6500?

    EMI offers various functions such as archiving and image management and implementation at level automatically and taking automatic backups, etc.

    - Does CSM provide a better view of FWSM logs than other applications?. Which is the better tool to view the logs of FWSM, I mean is there a tool like checkpoint log view for FWSM?

    CSM 4.0 is a tool that allows to display, filter, grep etc syslogs of all firewalls and IDSes.

    - My customer has 2 catalyst 6500 and 1 FWSM installed in each 6500, both FWSM running in redundancy active/pasive mode, do I consume 1 or 2 licences of CSM?

    CSM will be manage and watch one active unit only. The day before will just be a copy of the asset. So 1 license for CSM.

    I hope it answers your questions.

  • IPS of CSM 4.3 update

    Hello

    I'm trying to download updates cisco.com using CSM (version 4.3) IPS, but it does not work. It was working fine all along until he stopped two days ago. I checked that the server can connect to the internet without any problem. I can use the same credentials from cisco for manual updates and also works perfect.

    confirm settings of setti CSM, all still intact. reconfigured details and still the same issue. I get the following error

    "Unable to communicate with the service locator to retrieve files available.

    Note that I have just same crendentials on my LAB IP addresses and did the automatic update of the installation and it worked fine.

    any idea what the problem might be?

    Kind regards

    There is a new workaround for CSCue16970solution, based on the addition of the certificate to the MCS server.

    1.) Manually download Cybertrust's CA certificate from https://www.cybertrust.ne.jp/SureServer/file/root_ca/BCTRoot.txt . 2.) Save this file as 'trusted.998.crt' in text format and ensure that no extra characters or new lines are added to the original content. Keep in mind that certain Web browsers may add HTML codes when saving text files, so be sure to edit them out. 3.) Exit/close any/all instances of CSM client applications (Configuration Manager, Event Viewer, Health and Performance Monitor, Report Manager, etc.) 4.) On the CSM server, stop the 'Cisco Security Manager Daemon Manager' service by issuing the following command: 'net stop CRMDmgtd'. 5.) On the CSM server, copy the 'trusted.998.crt' file to the 'CSCOpx\MDC\Apache\conf\ssl' directory. 6.) On the CSM server, start the 'Cisco Security Manager Daemon Manager' service by issuing the following command: 'net start CRMDmgtd'. 

  • CSM and existing VPN tunnels

    I ran into an issue in the past. When you install the CSM for the first time in an environment where there is an existing VPN network, the product will not reflect existing VPN tunnels in the map view.

    I tried to import existing configurations using all means possible (to leave RDC, from text in my computer files or simply to find) but CSM doesn? t seem to fall under the existing configuration to view these pipes to the card. Looks like you have to build WHC otherwise they will not show.

    Someone at - he found a way to make this possible? Is this really possible? There is another technology that MSC will not pick up from an existing configuration?

    I understand that this may not be a problem given that the MSC is a policy management solution and not a follow-up, but it would be nice to be able to continue to add tunnels with CSM of a work in progress.

    I have? He's appreciate any input on this.

    What version of CSM do you use?

    Have you tried discovered vpn?

    If you are using CSM3.1, then you can discover the vpn and therefore be able to see the tunnel vpn for the card too.

  • materialized view, I need a brief explanation

    materialized view, I need a brief explanation

    A view is a stored SQL statement. When you query a view as select * from v1, result sets are calculated run time. So it's going to be a little slow because it is like issuing an SQL statement complex to build the view. But it is always the data in real time.

    While a materialized view contains the results of the sql statement on which it was built. If recovery will be faster but the data is not real-time and the MV must be updated manually.

    V slow response - does not occupy space - real-time results

    Quick response MV - occupies a space - non-real time results

  • I have several new emails in the Inbox, but I'm unable to view or even see them?

    I have several new emails in the Inbox, but I'm unable to view or even see them?

    Hey CRB123,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, you see a badge that you have unread e-mails in your Inbox, but they are not appearing.  An easy way to separate the emails read from the unread macOS that Sierra is to click the button to filter in the list of messages, or sort by unread:

    • Activate the filters: Click the filter button at the top of the list of messages, click unread to display the list of available filters, and then select one or more filters. A check mark indicates a filter is active.

      If you use more than one email account in Mail, you can filter the Inbox into account - for example, only show emails from your iCloud account.

    • Disable an active filter: Click on the filter.

    • Disable all filters: Click the filter button .

      Mail remembers your filters and automatically applied the next time that you click the filter button to activate the filters.

    You can also sort the list of messages - just click on "sort by" at the top of the list of messages, then select an attribute, such as and a sort order. In a typical configuration, click on a column header.

    Mail for Mac: filter the list of messages in Mail

    If no unread messages, then I would like to confirm if you have emails unread looking webmail for your email account. If you see the unread messages in webmail, go back to the mail app, and then rebuild your Inbox:

    You may have to re-create a mailbox to update the list of the messages it contains. For example, if messages seem to be missing or garbled, or if you don't find any relevant messages when you search by using the entire Message search option.

    • Select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar, then choose BALL > rebuild.

    When you rebuild the mailbox for accountIMAP or Exchange messages and attachments stored on your computer are discarded and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox is empty until the download is complete.

  • The list view in the Playlists of music

    As a DJ, I rely on iTunes for my music catalogue and allow me to get the best information on each song as quickly as possible. We chose all likely what parts of the ID3 tags, we want our vision of library to display...

    but in the Playlists of music, it doesn't seem to be a way to change this info is displayed. I need to be able to see the Album, Bitrate and comments in my Playlists of music... not just title/length/artist/Genre/year...

    If anyone has found a solution to this let me know... or I ask Apple to allow us to display our playlists just like we would songs within our library...

    When your reading list is open, go to view > view > songs.

    That should fix it.

  • Slide view

    Hello everyone...

    I have been using my iPad 12.9 pro for a while now, and I have a question about the slide mode, which I really hope you can help me.

    I wanted to be able to choose what applications are indicated on this side bar (View Slide Bar), since there are many applications that are shown here that I have no use for. Friends, autocad, bandsintown are a few examples of it. I wanted to keep it there just the apps that I REALLY want to use, and I find it annoying that I have to scroll through a lot of apps just to find the one I need.

    If I'm lazy, let me know, but I think it would be a good idea to put only the ones you need right?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello. It's a good idea, and you can inform Apple here https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html. However, it may require a fairly major overhaul of internal interfaces, so don't expect a quick change.
