Asa failover & SSL vpn license question

with a failover pair, if you want to purchase an SSL license, do you have to purchase the same license for each one, or can they 'share' a license since only one will ever be active?

Steven,
You must purchase license for each and every device that you want to enable SSL Feature. It does not matter if the chassis is in active or standby mode in failover, you need a separate license.

VPN License question on 5505 ASA Firewall

Inherited a firewall project, it's getting a VPN running on a ASA 5505 Firewall for remote workers. Firewall was configured by someone else who isn't available.
Basic question on the License: The current license is good for 2 SSL VPN Peers, and 20 "Total VPN Peers". Can anyone elaborate on "Total VPN Peers"? Can I configure Clientless SSL VPN connections, or do I need to go IPSec to get the 20 VPN sessions?
Thank you in advance,
Jeff

Hi Linda,
The default IKE SA lifetime is 86,400 seconds and the default IPSEC SA lifetime is 28,800 seconds. However, these values are configurable so you'll need to check your 5505 configuration to answer these questions. You can look at the output of 'show run crypto' to see the configured values.

Cisco ASA 5505 SSL VPN

Hi Everyone,
In my study home lab, I wanted to configure a cisco ASA 5505 ( Base license) to allow SSL VPN. I follow carefully the configuration procedure as instructed on a short videos I downloaded on youtube.
I configured my outside e0/0 with a valid static IP address, unfortunately the vpn connection is timeout on a remote ( different) internet connection. But if I connect to my own internet line using a WIFI the VPN ( AnyConnect SSL VPN client ) connection is established.
I need help to solve this mystery. Please find attached the ASA config: #show run
I hope my explaination does make sense, if not accept my apology I am just new in cisco technology.
Best regards,
BEN

If you can connect with your own internet line, then most probably it's not an issue with the ASA configuration.
I would check how you are routing the ASA to the internet, and if there is any ACL that might be blocking inbound access to the ASA on the device in front of the ASA.

ASA Clientless SSL VPN can't access login pages on websites

When I'm doing a clientless SSL VPN to my ASA and using the ASA to browse websites, I can pretty much go on to just about any website except specificly login websites. I can go on google and yahoo but when I click the "mail" button it just gives me an error message "Connection Failed - Server (site name) unavailable. When I go onto hotmail.com, it says server hotmail.com unavailable. When I browse by entering hotmail's IP address in, it says "Bad Request." Same happens on ebay, youtube, etc. Funny thing is, the ONLY login page I can get onto is Cisco's website's login page. I tried changing DNS servers, nothing changed. Here is my configuration:

In your crypto ACLs for the site-to-site tunnels, add the ASA's public IP destined to the remote network, and mirror this ACL on the remote end VPN device.
Example:
ASA public IP: 2.2.2.2
Remote network: 192.168.1.0/24
access-list vpn_to_remote_network permit ip host 2.2.2.2 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
Mirror the above acl on the remote end router.

CIsco ASA 5505 and VPN licenses

Hi,
Cisco ASA 5505 comes with 10 VPN licenses in a standard configuration.
How those licenses are counted? Will I need a license per one IPSec SA?
If I have two site connected with LAN-to-LAN VPN with 10 subnets at one site, how many licenses will be taken? 10 - one per IPSec SA or just 1 - one per point-to-point VPN?
Thank you.
Regards,
Alex

Alex,
In an ASA 5505, it should say something like this...when you do sh ver.
VPN Peers : 25
It means that you can have so many peers connecting to the ASA. Its not per IPSec SA.
Its a per tunnel license.
Rate this, if it helps!

Yet Another ASA VPN Licensing Question :)

I have a pretty good understanding of ASA VPN concepts, but not sure about this scenario. Two questions regarding 5525 VPN SSL Anyconnect Premium Licensing.
1. Assuming we already own a ASA 5525-x with 750 Anyconnect Essentials and Mobile ( p/n ASA5525VPN-EM750K9 ) and want the ability for 200 Clientless (Anyconnect Premium) VPN connections, including mobile devices, what part number do I need?
2. Assuming we do not yet own a ASA5525, but want the same 200 clientless VPN connections plus mobile device connectivity, what part number do I need? I'm assuming this is correct >> ASA5525VPN-PM250K9
Thanks!

It's no problem - I sometimes look for an answer to a question myself and find my own 2 year old post explaining the answer. As long as I don't find my 2 week old answer, I'm OK with that. :)
Anyhow, no there's not a SKU to upgrade Essentials to Premium. All the Premium upgrade SKUs are between Premium licensed user tiers (10-25, 25-50, 50-100 etc.).
If you're a persuasive customer and make a strong case with your reseller they may be able to get a deal with Cisco outside the normal channels to get some relief as a customer satisfaction issue. That's very much a case by case thing though and not the normal fulfillment method.

ASA 5505 VPN licensing question

I have three locations, that i want to connect via site-to-site vpn's deployed on three ASA 5505. How is the term "Peers" in the licensing text, affecting my scenario? Is each ASA one peer in a site-to-site solution, or is each user transmitting data in the established tunnels also counted?

Users transmitting across the site to site tunnel are not counted. Only the peers themselves.

Cisco ASA 5520 SSL VPN Web Login Customization For RSA Login

I have a Cisco 5520 that I have RSA radius with hardware token up and working witrhout issue. The RSA radius authentication works fine.
My problem is that I want the login page of the WebVPN portal to display two fields for the user RSA passcode. An RSA passcode is the PIN and the current toke code together.
I want one field to accept the PIN from the passcode and the other field to accept the TOKEN CODE from the RSA token.
Currently the login page has in this order:
USERNAME:
PASSCODE:
My end state would be:
USERNAME:
PIN:
TOKENCODE:
I know this has been done with the native Cisco IPSEC client but I cannot find a way to do this with the WebVPN login page. I have been thru the Customization page and can't seem to get this to work correctly.
Thanks.

Asa in active/active vpn solution licensing question

Hello All
I have a customer with the following requirements:
1) A Cisco VPN Solution that will be support SSL VPN and Cisco Client VPN - The solution will be a failover configuration running in an active-active set up. The solution offered will be fully supported (i.e. it will not go into End of Life or and lower level of support etc) by Cisco for the next 5 Years.
a. We would expect the devices to be similar to the ASA 5520 Appliance with SW,HA,$GE+1FE,£DES/AES (Including ASA 5500 Advanced Endpoint ASS)
2) User licenses for the above - Please quote for both the following
a. 500 appropriate SSL VPN User Licenses
b. 250 appropriate SSL VPN User Licenses
I am quoting them for the 500 ssl vpn bundle
ASA5520-SSL500-K9 and for the
ASA5520-BUN-K9.
Is it right that in active/active software 8.3 and above that the 500 ssl vpn licenses will be shared between the 2 asa's or will I need to have 250 licenses on each asa.
Also I have read that in active/active I cannot use shared licenses, is this relevant in a vpn solution?
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/license/license_management/license_86.html#wp2003381
Url above has this “The backup server mechanism is separate from, but compatible with, failover.
Shared licenses are supported only in single context mode, so Active/Active failover is not supported.”
Also “Failover Guidelines
•Shared licenses are not supported in Active/Active mode. See the "Failover and Shared Licenses" section for more information.
I also need to purchase the
ASA-ADV-END-SEC and
ASA-AC-M-5520 (any connect mobile) as the vpn client is eos/eol.
Do I need to buy this for both asa's or can they share them in active/active mode.
Thanks in advance.
Feisal

Hi Vibhor and thanks for the quick reply. We will be using version 9.3. I was aware that the ASA does not support PBR but I thought with the new code you could do some policy nat that could help influence the outbound flow?
So in this case we have 2x ISPs and 2x public address space, one from each ISP. How is the NAT and routing handled by the ASA in this design?
Can I not identify the guest subnet (192.168.0.0/22) and NAT this to a public address from ISP1 and also identify the corp subnets (10.x.x.x) and NAT them to ISP2?
My understanding (which is probably wrong) is that the NAT will select the egress interface rather than the routing table, so guest will be sent via ISP1 since the SVI interface of the ASA that connects to this ISP1 has an IP address from the same public address space..?
Is that incorrect?
Many thanks
Rays

ASA 5510 VPN Peer License Question

I just got a new ASA 5510 Base Model and I have some questions I would love some help on.
1) I was under the impression that the ASA 5510 could support 250 VPN Peers. When I do a show version on this new unit I am told VPN Peers are only 50. I would like to have more than 50 L2L VPN Tunnels and RA clients connected at one. Where did I mess up with this understanding?
2) I am running ASA Software Version 7.0(6) this is how it was shipped to me. I hear that 7.2 is the latest? Can I get this upgrade from Cisco?

Hi,
There a couple of points here which are a bit tricky - the first is the software versioning of PIX/ASA software. If we have a look at how it work in IOS (It would be useful if there was an equivalent paper for PIX/ASA...)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1828/products_white_paper09186a008018305e.shtml
The basic idea is that if you go from 7.0(1) to 7.0(2) you're getting more software fixes and less new features but if you go from 7.0(1) to 7.1(1) you're getting more major new features but less software fixes. On PIX/ASA there seems to be a fairly clear choice between stability and features. Don't forget that the 3 trains have releases independent of each other so it doesn't necessarily follow that the highest numbered release was the latest one, let alone the most stable one. Before 7.2(2) was released last November the latest release was 7.0(6) and we actually standardised on this because all releases above 7.0(6) were giving us issues (especially the 7.1 versions). We're trialling 7.2(2) at the moment and it seems to be as solid as 7.0(6) so that also looks like a good choice.
With that in mind we need to look at the feature sets of the various releases, and currently 7.2(2) gives you 250 maximum concurrent IPsec sessions whether or not you have the Security Plus license. I think this change happened during one of the 7.1 releases. If you only have 7.0 then you get 50 as standard and can upgrade to 150 if you have a security plus license. (With 7.2(2) you still need the security plus license to get failover and vpn load balancing - but not to get the 250 sessions.)
As to upgrading - it's possible 7.0(6) was actually the "latest" release when you purchased your box and unless you specified a particular version when you bought it this is what you normally get (you can ask for any version you like at no charge when you buy it initially). You really need smartnet for the ASA because the standard Cisco warranty is rubbish (90 days only and you wait 10 days for a replacement) so unless it's a test network you're pretty much forced to buy smartnet to be sure of a fast replacement (or any replacement at all after 90 days..) Also, the cost of a smartnet contract for a year if you only need NBD replacement is less than the cost of a one-off software upgrade AND you get to download any version you like for the year AND you can also log calls directly with the TAC.
So, I'd recommend buying a smartnet contract and then go through the release notes to find a suitable release to download - sounds like 7.2(2) might be what you need - at the very least you should be upgrading to get more sessions rather than sticking to 7.0 and buying a security plus license. (Because both the one-off upgrade and the security plus license are probably more expensive than smartnet!)
HTH - plz rate if useful

Cisco ASA 5505 - 2 questions - VPN Licensing; Routing

Hi,
I have a client that has a Cisco ASA 5505 security appliance. Currently it is setup as a "proof of concept" for clientless browser-based SSL VPN. The device came with 2 licenses for this service, and we need to increase that somewhere between 10-25 users. 25 users is the max on this device I believe.
I have searched Cisco.com and tried Googling the ASA 5505 for licensing but I can't find the correct license that I need for this.
The second question I have is routing capability. We have a WAN connection to another branch of the computer from this location where the ASA 5505 is located. A Cisco 2851 is used for this connection. We are wanting to bring in a high speed Internet connection for the VPN access and Internet access. What I need to know is can we put the WAN and Internet connections behind the ASA 5505 and have that route appropriately to the branch WAN for that traffic and all other traffic to the Internet?
Thanks!

What license do I need for 25 SSL VPN Peers

Hi all,
I want to implement Active/Standby cluster with a pair of 5550 ASAs and I have a licensing question. Here is the "sh activation-key detail" output from both devices...

The flash activation key is the SAME as the running key.
So it looks obvious that I'll have to upgrade the first ASA to support 25 SSL VPN Peers in order to build HA cluster, right?
Now I want to know do I need the "ASA5505-SSL25-K9" license or something else.
Thanks much in advance for any help!

Hi all,
as I said I tried to upgrade the ASA1 to version 8.3, but unfortunately the limit of 2 SSL VPN Peers remained.
It seems so that I’ll have to buy that license, although I don’t need that functionality. If someone has some more hints left, I’d be grateful to hear them.
Here is the output from “sh activation-key detail” and below the output from “sh ver”:
