Cisco asa 5585 syslog options for ips?

We have CISCO ASA 5585 with a separate module for IPS, I want to know what are the options for configuring syslog? Its nearly impossible to find ; and there are some forums on the internet which says that cisco ips stores logs in native / proprietary format and cannot be exported.
Please elaborate
Thanks.

Some sensor-related events generate syslog messages. Those will be forwarded according to the parent ASA syslog settings.
Detailed IPS events (signature triggers actions etc.) are stored locally and must be retrieved using the SDEE protocol (tcp-based). That requires use of a management system like Cisco Security Manager (CSM), IPS Manager Express (IME) etc. There is a good document here that explains SDEE in more detail.

  • Syslog support for IPS SSM 10

    Hi,
    I am new to IPS SSM 10. i've few questions:
    1.Do we have any kind of syslogs logs for IPS SSM 10? basically i want to know what kind of attacks, intrusion & DoS has happened.
    2.Can we update the Signature automatically thru Cisco site?

    The AIP-SSM does not support syslog as an alert format.
    The default method to receive alert information from the AIP-SSM is through Security Device Event Exchange (SDEE). Another option is to configure individual signatures in order to generate a SNMP trap as an action to take when they are triggered.

  • Cisco ASA 5585-X SSP-20 SSL wildcard SSL certificate support ?

    Hello
    i want to verify if Cisco ASA 5585-X SSP-20 supports Wildcard SSL's.
    Cheers

    Supports them how?
    As certificates issued to the ASA and properly bound to it's interfaces to support SSL VPN or ASDM access - yes.
    You can configure a wildcard (or any other) certificate improperly and cause things not to work. However it's not a limitation of the device's operating system not supporting it.

  • Cisco ASA 5585-X SSP-20 8.4(2) - TCP Syslog problem

    Hi,
    We have a firewall service environment where logging is handled with UDP at the moment.
    Recently we have noticed that some messages get lost on the way to the server (Since the server doesnt seem to be under huge stress from syslog traffic). We decided to try sending the syslog via TCP.
    You can imagine my surprise when I enabled the "logging host <interface name> <server ip> tcp/1470" on an ASA Security context and find out that all the connections through that firewall are now being blocked. Granted, I could have checked the command reference for this specific command but I never even thought of the possibility of a logging command beeing able to stop all traffic on a firewall.
    The TCP syslog connection failing was caused by a missmatched TCP port on the server which got corrected quickly. Even though I could now view log messages from the firewall in question in real time, the only message logged was the blocking of new connections with the following syslog message:
    "%ASA-3-201008: Disallowing new connections."
    Here start my questions:
    - New connections are supposed to be blocked when the the TCP Syslog server aint reachable. How is it possible that I am seeing the TCP syslog sent to the server and the ASA Security Context is still blocking the traffic?
    - I configured the "logging permit-hostdown" after I found the command and it supposedly should prevent the above problem/situation from happening. Yet after issuing this command on the Security Context in question, connections were still being blocked with the same syslog message. Why is this?
    - Eventually I changed the logging back to UDP. This yet again caused no change to the situation. All the customer connections were still being blocked. Why is this?
    - After all the above I removed all possible logging configurations from the Security Context. This had absolutely no effect on the situation either.
    - As a last measure I changed to the system context of the ASA and totally removed the syslog interface from the Security Context. This also had absolutely no effect on the situation.
    At the end I was forced to save the configuration on the ASAs Flash -memory, remove the Security Context, create the SC again, attach the interfaces again and load the configuration from the flash into the Security Context. This in the end corrected the problem.
    Seems to me this is some sort of bug since the syslog server was receiving the syslog messages from the SC but the ASA was still blocking all new connections. Even the command "logging permit-hostdown" command didnt help or changing back to UDP.
    It seems the Security Context in question just simply got stuck and continued blocking all connections even though in the end it didnt have ANY logging configurations on.
    Seems to me that this is quite a risky configuration if you are possibly facing cutting all traffic for hundreds of customers when the syslog connection is lost or the above situation happens and isnt corrected by any of the above measures we took (like the command "logging permit-hostdown" which is supposed to avoid this situation alltogether).

    Hi,
    I FINALLY had the time to look at this issue as I was testing something else in our lab too.
    In short, here is what I did:
    I configured the TCP logging in the same way as in the original post
    I configured the TCP logging giving the commands in different order
    Did some other tests related to the proble
    Device used: ASA 5585-X
    Software: 8.4(2)
    Original Device and software : ASA 5585-X running 8.4(1)9
    Heres the above scenarions and what actually happened
    Original situation
    Before doing any changes the test firewall context in question is working normally and the log sent by UDP/514 is arriving to the Syslog server as usual.
    I now change the syslog to TCP by giving a command "logging host tcp/1471" (actual port being TCP/1470)
    The firewall immediatly starts blocking all connections going through it.
    I change the configuration to the correct port TCP/1470 after which log starts appearing in my realtime view on the syslog server. The firewall context in question is still sending only the message "Disallowing new connections" even though the TCP -port on the Syslog server is clearly reachable and the connection is active.
    After this I try to do the suggest "clear local-host all" command. This has no effect on the firewall context. No connections are getting through. No connections/xlates are formed on the firewall. I can only see the firewall doing DNS queries with its outside interface (related to another configuration).
    After this I try to start correcting the situation the same way as before. I add "logging permit-hostdown" command which has no effect on the situation. I remove all logging configurations and it doesnt have any effect on the situation.
    After this I activate UDP logging and can see the logs arriving on the syslog server but again I can only see "Disallowing new connections" message.
    In the end I have no other option (to my knowledge) other than to delete the Security Context and create it again with same interfaces and with the configuration saved to the Flash -memory of the ASA.
    After this the connections work like usual. (UDP logging in the saved configuration)
    Giving the configurations in different order
    After I've created the firewall again and all is working I have another try in configuring the TCP Syslog while giving the commands in different order.
    First I add the command "logging permit-hostdown" command
    Then I add the command "logging host tcp/1470"
    After this logs start arriving on the syslog server and connections work as usual. Seems giving the "logging permit-hostdown" first before any other configurations is the right way to go.
    Removing the "logging permit-hostdown" command
    After I saw that everything was working I tried to remove the "logging permit-hostdown" command and see what happens. Everything worked fine.
    Configuring wrong TCP port to "logging host" command
    I decide to try and change the TCP port used to a wrong one and see if anything happens. (logging permit-hostdown is active). Firewall works as usual. Naturally no logs can be viewed at the syslog server.
    Configuring the TCP Syslogging without "logging permit-hostdown" but with correct port
    Finally I tried to configure the TCP Syslogging on ASA with the correct TCP port without issuing the "logging permit-hostdown" command. Everything seemed to work fine after this.
    So in conclusion it seems that IF you don't have the "logging permit-hostdown" command issued before you start configuring "logging host tcp/xxxx" , you might run into problems IF you don't have matching settings on the ASA sending the log and the Syslog server receiving the log.
    There doesnt seem to be any easy way to correct the situation (with the connections getting blocked) after you have once messed up the configurations. Seems your only option is to reconfigure the Security Context (which is easy) or if this problem exists in the same way in a single ASA you will have to reboot the device which means longer downtime than reconfiguring a context.
    There would still be a couple of things to test but at the moment I have no more time for this. I will update if there is any new information.

  • ASA send syslog messages for configuration changes

    On a router you can send configuration changes to the syslog server by doing,
    conf t
    archive
    log config
    logging enable
    notify syslog
    Then the router will send something like,
    .Aug  3 13:12:00.776 PACIFIC: %PARSER-5-CFGLOG_LOGGEDCMD: User:admin  logged command:no interface Loopback76
    if I had typed at the command line, "no int lo76"
    How do you do this on the ASA?
    Goal:  I want to know when anybody does any kind of config on my ASA.

    The syslog number 111008 and 111010 will log the command that is entered by user.
    111010 is for configuration changes.
    Here is the syslog for your information:
    111008:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/system/message/logmsgs.html#wp4769400
    111010:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/system/message/logmsgs.html#wp4769410
    You need to enable syslog, and severity level 5, and if you don't want to see any other logging, you can only log the above 2 syslog numbers.

  • Cisco ASA 5505 VPN help for local lan access.

    Hi all,
    I am very new to Cisco systems. Recently I was tasked to enable local lan access for one of my server. The problem is this. I have this server with 2 interfaces. One interface to my FTP server(192.168.2.3) and the other to the Cisco ASA(192.168.1.1). Whenever I connect the server to Cisco Anyconnect VPN, I am unable to access the FTP server anymore.
    I googled and found out that the problem is because the metric level is 1 for Ciscoanyconnect network interface which causes all traffic to go through the Cisco VPN Interface. Another problem is I can't change the metric of the Cisco VPN Interface as whenever I reconnect to the VPN, the metric resets back to 1 again. I tried to follow some guides to configure split tunnel but my traffic is still going through the VPN connection.
    Anyone can tell me what I am missing here? Sorry I am very new to Cisco systems. Spent about 5 days troubleshooting and I feel I am getting it soon. Anyone can guide me what else I am supposed to do?
    What I did> Configuration>> Remote access VPN>> Network Client Access>> Group Policies>> Advanced>> Split Tunneling>> Uncheck Inherit and select "Exclude Network List below.>> Uncheck Network List and select Manage, Add 192.168.2.0/24 to permit.
    Really appreciate if anyone can tell me what else I can do to ensure my server has access the my FTP Server after connecting to the VPN.
    Thanks all!

    Hi,
    Try adding the following configuration
    policy-map global_policy
    class inspection_default
      inspect pptp
    And then try again.
    I'm not 100% would you need to perhaps allow GRE through the firewall even after that. (Protocol 47)

    thnx

    Hi,
    I found some more info see at this document
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/asa/asa84/command/reference/ef.html#wp2016768
    Usage Guidelines
    In 8.4(1) and earlier in In multiple context mode, you can use only one firewall mode for all contexts. You must set the mode in the system configuration. This command also appears in each context configuration for informational purposes only; you cannot enter this command in a context.
    In 8.5(1) and later in multiple context mode, you can set this command per context.
    When you change modes, the ASA clears the configuration because many commands are not supported for both modes. If you already have a populated configuration, be sure to back up your configuration before changing the mode; you can use this backup for reference when creating your new configuration.
    If you download a text configuration to the ASA that changes the mode with the firewall transparent command, be sure to put the command at the top of the configuration; the ASA changes the mode as soon as it reads the command and then continues reading the configuration you downloaded. If the command is later in the configuration, the ASA clears all the preceding

  • Cisco ASA 5585 Product Numbers..

    Hello,
    I think this will be any easy one for someone.. what do you actually get with each of these product numbers?

  • FCoE options for Cisco UCS and Compellent SAN

    Hi,
    We have a Dell Compellent SAN storage with iSCSI and FCoE module in pre-production environment.
    It is connected to new Cisco UCS infrastructure (5108 Chassis with 2208IOM + B200 M2 Blades + 6248 Fabric Interconnect) via 10G iSCSI module (FCoE module isn't being used at th is moment).
    I reviewed compatibility matrix on interconnect but Compellent (Dell) SAN is only supported on FI NXOS 1.3(1), 1.4(1) without using 6248 and 2208 IOM which is what we have. I'm sure some of you have similar hardware configuration as ours and I'd like to see if there's any supportive Cisco FC/FCoE deployment option for the Compellent. We're pretty tight on budget at this moment so purchasing couple of Nexus 5K switches or something equipvalent for such a small number of chassis (only only have one) is not a preferred option. If additional hardware acquisition is inevitable, what would be the most cost effective solution to be able to support FCoE implementation?
    Thank you in advance for your help on this.

    Unfortunatly there isn't really one - with direct attach storage there is still the requirement that an upstream MDS/N5k pushes the zoning to it.  Without a MDS to push the zoning the system it's recommended for production.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2.0/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0101.html#concept_05717B723C2746E1A9F6AB3A3FFA2C72
    Even if you had a MDS/N5K the 6248/2208's wouldn't support the Compellent SAN - see note 9.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/interoperability/matrix/Matrix8.pdf
    That's not to say that it won't work, it's just that we haven't tested it and don't know what it will do and thus TAC cannot troubleshoot SAN errors on the UCS.
    On the plus side iSCSI if setup correctly can be very solid and can give you a great amount of throughput - just make sure to configure the QoS correctly and if you need more throughput then just add some additional links

  • Clustering options for FirePOWER SSP-40

    What are the option for clustering Firepower SSP-40?
    ASA 5585X with 2 node cluster, is it possible to have a single cluster for IPS service also ?
    Concers are , how is the IPS module handling the Asymmetric situation...?
    Cisco ASA 5585-X with FirePOWER SSP-40..

    What Cisco was missing imo was the NG Firewall features that everyone has had for years.  I recently upgraded my 5585 SSP60 based firewalls with the SSP-SFR60 modules.  So far I'm fairly impressed, the package does what everyone else does, currently still testing a number of items however what I could do with a Palo or something from SonicWall I can now do with my ASAs.
    First Accessible from Same GUI: Not on the 5585s, if I open ASDM for the 5585s, there are no configurations that I can see available, essentially under my admin context I see three tabs, one of which is ASA Firepower Status, there is a link I can click on and it takes me to DC URL.  I do hear you can configure for the smaller firewalls though.  Possibly because I use MC and A/A I might be missing it. Honestly though DC seems to be a very powerful tool so I'm fine with two management systems as they both serve a different purpose, ASA controls ports allowed to pass, and the traffic that passes gets filtered.
    Logging and Events: DC has an immense amount of information, urls being visited, ips, responding countries, pretty much everything is here.
    Am I satisfied?  Yes, items that bothered me was built in URL filtering, file analysis, Geo Location Filtering and numerous other bells and whistles that I noticed $1000 sonicwalls had, the CX platform never caught my eye for some reason, and I'm glad I never bit the bullet, EOL10154, so if I implemented CX I'd be in a situation where I would need to replace it.  Sourcefire was a fairly successful company that Cisco bought, and I don't see cisco throwing away 2.7 Billion Dollars so I can see this being around for awhile.
    I'm still exploring but so far what everyone else has had for years, I finally have with my ASA and I'm happy.  It does work, and it works well.
