Cisco PIX 515E multiple ISP support in a VPN scenario

Iam currently running a cisco 7.2 ios in a Cisco PIX 515E appliance. I have terminated two ISP links in the two ports, and I also have a inside network (LAN). I want to establish 2 Site-Site VPN tunnels using each one of these ISP links respectively (Site 1 in ISP link 1 && Site 2 in ISP link 2).
Is this possible to achieve??

Hello,
This should work. Route the remote endpoint for site 1 out link 1 (using a static route) and for site 2 out link 2 (using a static route) and that should do it.
Return traffic should work, assuming both ISPs aren't advertising the networks your interfaces are on via BGP (ie, you don't want return traffic from site one coming down the link to site 2 because that ISP is advertising that AS as well.)

  • Cisco PIX-515e reset to factory defaults

    Hi,
    I have a cisco PIX-515e which i have connected to a emulator through the console port, and im having trouble erasing data from it.
    I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks,

    this is a little late over a year, you probably alreay figured it out. in monitor mode.
    set your interface
    monitor> int 0          (this doesnt matter much as long as the interface is valid)
    next set the ip address of our pix
    monitor> add 192.168.1.50     (this just sets the pix int 0 to this ip address)
    now set the tftp server
    monitor> server 192.168.1.79     (this is the ip address of my pc with a tftp server)
    set the gateway
    monitor> gateway 0.0.0.0      (i had much trouble with this but until i set the gateway to this it didnt work)
    now back to your pc assuming you have a tftp server installed.
    download the necessary recover tool at (subject to change probably) make sure you put it in your default directory of your tftp server.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_password_recovery09186a008009478b.shtml
    this is key probably
    if you have the wrong tool the image will download successfully to your pix but it will not do anything just stop
    after the file has been received.
    so if your unsure try all the images.
    now back to the pix
    to initiate a file download you have to declare it so
    monitor> file np62.bin
    and then to start the download
    monitor> tftp
    see below.... (entire session via console cable)
    monitor> int 0
    0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10)
    1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11)
    Using 0: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10), MAC:
    monitor> add 192.168.1.50
    address 192.168.1.50
    monitor> server 192.168.1.79
    server 192.168.1.79
    monitor> gateway 0.0.0.0
    gateway 0.0.0.0
    monitor> file np62.bin

    Hi,

    I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
    When i last posted this i had alot of replies mentioning ROMMON mode but i want to stress the PIX 515e does not have ROMMON mode it has MONITOR mode however the commands are not the same as ROMMON commands.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • How do you log incoming traffic (SMTP) on a Cisco PIX 515E?

                       Hi Everyone,
         I have a good one for you guys. I'm new to ASA's and PIX units. I've setup a few VPN's now but know next to nothing about logging on these units. I read the config guide for the PIX, but cannot figure out how to get a log of incoming SMTP traffic going on the console. Any ideas? Do I need to use a SYSLOG server? I can probably set one up on my laptop... Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Naturally a long term solution for gathering this information would be to send logs to a separate Syslog server.
    On the syslog server you will have better tools to go through the logs than just looking at the log buffer on the CLI of the ASA/PIX or on the ASDM real time monitor.
    The very basic "logging" configuration would be
    logging on
    logging timestamp
    logging device-id hostname
    logging trap informational (or notifications)
    logging host
    This would include only the logs for syslog server.
    There are options to tweak the log output but the above is a pretty basic setting without any extra.
    With the above configuration (logging trap informational) you would get logs of every connection formed and every connection teardown. You could then parse the logs for the log messages of SMTP (TCP/25) connections. Naturally this would also log same for translations and other information and depending on the size of the network or amount of the connections this might generate quite a lot of logs.
    You can also configure a "log" keyword on "access-list" lines that permit traffic (SMTP in this case). You can also configure a non default "level" for the messages after the "log" keyword.
    Most of our Syslog setups log with pretty basic configurations and we use the Syslog server to check for the logs we need.
    Your logging setup/configuration naturally depends on your needs. Is it something needed for long term monitoring of connections or just for some quick troubleshooting purposes. Generally I think it would be good to keep logs of most things that happen on the firewall to help with troubleshooting etc.

  • Pix 515e vpn setup

    I currently have a pix 515e setup as a firewall and vpn terminator. We will be moving our network to a new isp that will provide the firewall service, but i need to keep the pix for the vpn functionality. The pix currently has a public IP for the vpn but the new ISP want to do nat for the pix, so I have to give it a private ip. here is what the ISP sent me.
    >Essentially - Customer needs
    >1. Internal Server IP address that >will arrive from customer to the f/w.
    >
    >2. The public address NAT that will >represent the customer internal server.
    >
    >3. The proper ports open to support >this request. UDP ? 10000 or 4500 ? >and 500.
    I'm new to VPN I would like some direction on where to find some documents on how to setup the cisco behind another router and without a public ip. Also can the pix have both interfaces on the same subnet?
    Thank you
    rene

    Rene -
    You can't have both the interfaces on the same subnet.
    3. Ports needed for VPN to work.
    UDP - 500 ==> which is ISAKMP
    UDP - 4500 ==> NAT-T
    UDP - 10000 ===> IPSec over UDP
    ESP protocol ==> which is protocol number 50.
    1 & 2. Your external (outside) IP address of the PIX.
    Does this answer your question.

  • Help needed to connect to remote PPTP VPN via PIX 515e

    Hello,
    A user in our office needs to connect to a client's remote PPTP VPN but can't connect.  The user is running Windows 7.  We have a Cisco PIX 515e firewall that is running PIX Version 6.3(3) - this is what our user is having to go through to try and make the connection to the client's remote VPN.
    The client's network guys have come back and said the issue is at our side.  They say that they can see some of our traffic but not all of it. The standard error is shown below, and they say it's symptomatic of the client-side firewall not allowing PPTP traffic:
    "A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47). Verify that the firewalls and routers between your VPN server and the Internet allow GRE packets. Make sure the firewalls and routers on the user's network are also configured to allow GRE packets. If the problem persists, have the user contact the Internet service provider (ISP) to determine whether the ISP might be blocking GRE packets."
    I have very little firewall experience and absolutely no Cisco experience I'm afraid.  From looking at the PIX config I can see the following line:
    fixup protocol pptp 1723.
    Does this mean that the PPTP protcol is enabled on our firewall?  Is this for both incoming and outgoing traffic?
    I can see no reference to GRE 47 in the PIX config.  Can anyone advise me what I should look for to see if this has been enabled or not?
    I apologise again for my lack of knowledge.  Any help or advice would be very gratefully received.
    Ros

    Hi Eugene,
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.  Please see our full PIX config below.  I've XX'd out names and IP addresses as I'm never comfortable posting those type of details in a public forum.  I hope that the information below is still sufficient for you.
    Thanks again for your help,

    These are the following commands I applied in my Router, It is able to connect but unable to access any other servers. The same user name & password I tried with the VPN dialer it works on my Laptop. Anything I am missing on the router configuration. The VPN server is Cisco PIX 515E.
    Cisco IOS on 871W is 12.3(8)Y12

    1) Isn't your default route supposed to be pointing towards the external interface?
    ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 ?
    2) Can you change the 'mode client' to 'mode network-extension'. Also the PIX will need 'nem enable'.
    Have a look at the following (I'm assuming you already have as your config seems to be similar):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080809222.shtml
    For old 6.x code on PIX, have a look at:

  • Latest IOS for PIX 515E

    What is the latest version of IOS for Cisco PIX 515E ? I want to update. What are the best practices to safly upgrade IOS in PIX? How to take backup copy of existing configuration? I have conf saved in .txt file. Any other way ?

    please see below URL which explain IOS upgrade on PIX and how to backup configuration

  • Webserver on DMZ cannot send email via php script using SMTP (cisco firewall pix 515e)

    Hello,
    I have two web servers that are sitting in a DMZ behind a Cisco Firewall PIX 515e. The webservers appear to be configured correctly as our website and FTP website are up. On two of our main website, we have two contact forms that use a simple html for to call a php script that uses smtp as its mailing protocol. Since, I am not the network administrator, I don't quite understand how to  read the current configurations on the firewall, but I suspect that port 25 is blocked, which prevents the script from actually working or sending out emails.  What I've done to narrow the problem done is the following: I used a wamp server to test our scripts with our smtp servers settings, was able to successfully send an email out to both my gmail and work place accounts. Currently, we have backupexec loaded on both of these servers, and when I try to send out an alert I never receive it. I think because port 25 is closed on both of those servers.  I will be posting our configuration. if anyone can take a look and perhaps explain to me how I can change our webservers to communicate and successfully deliver mail via that script, I would gladly appreciate it. our IP range is 172.x.x.x, but it looks like our webservers are using 192.x.x.x with NAT in place. Please someone help.
    Thanks,
    Jeff Mateo

    Amit,
    I applaud your creativity in seeking to solve your problem, however, this sounds like a real mess in the making. There are two things I don't like about your approach. One, cron -> calling Java -> calling PHP -> accessing database, it's just too many layers, in my opinion, where things can go wrong. Two it seems to me that you are exposing data one your website (with the PHP) that you may not want expose and this is an important consideration when you are dealing with emails and privacy and so on.
    I think the path of least resistance would be to get a new user account added to the MySQL database that you can access remotely with your Java program. This account can be locked down for read only access and be locked down to the specific IP or IP range that your Java program will be connecting from.
    Again I applaud your creativity but truly this seems like a hack because of the complexity and security concerns you are introducing and I think is a path to the land of trouble. Hopefully you will be able to get a remote account set up.

  • Linksys WRT600N vs CISCO PIX 506E.... Firewall / Routing Performance

    Hi:
    I am new to the forum and was hoping to tap into some of your expertise. I have a Linksys WRT600N version 1.1 and I recently acquired a CISCO PIX 506E firewall. My question is what should I use as a firewall? Both have SPI etc. Should I:
    a) Use the 506E as a firewall and use the 600 as a wireless access point, or
    b) Use the 600 as a firewall and wireless access point.
    Do both routers have the same firewall routing performance? I want to use the storage feautre on the 600N, but if I do that and use it as a wireless access point the 600 can't get the proper time from the Internet, so my time for newly created folders and files shows they are 10 years old.
    Anyway, just thought I would post and find out what some of the experts thought and maybe someone from Linksys or CISCO. I know the 506E is discontinued and was manufactured around 2001 and the 600N is a new model.
    (Edited subject to keep threads from stretching. Thanks!)

    The PIX is a real firewall. The WRT has a firewall which mostly protects the router itself. People prefer to buy a "SPI firewall router" instead of a simple "router" even though the router firewall does nothing or little to protect the LAN. The only firewall configurations on the WRTs you can usually do is on the Access Restrictions tab. But that's usually all. The LAN itself is not protected by the firewall. You would notice this if you had a public IP subnet and ran it through the WRT: the LAN would be fully exposed to the internet. Some routers have a few functions like protection against denial of service attacks or similar. But even then this often filters only the traffic targeted at the router and not the LAN.
    The common protection of your LAN you have on the WRT is because you use private IP addresses inside your LAN and the router does NAT. However, NAT is not a security mechanism but a mechanism to solve the problem that you can only have a single public IP address but want to use multiple computers, which is why you have to use private IP addresses. Current NAT implementations usually drop unsolicited incoming traffic because they don't know to which IP address in the LAN to send it to. But the notion of NAT is to deliver and to allow connectivity. This has nothing to do with security or a firewall.
    Thus, if you want to use a real firewall use the PIX. On the PIX you can configure the traffic which is allowed to enter the LAN and which not. It is far superior in this respect to the WRT. However, as it is a older model, I cannot tell how fast the PIX is. You should be able to find the old data sheets of the PIX somewhere on the cisco website. They should mention the possible throughput. I guess it won't be an issue.
    To me another point for the PIX are the VPN capabilities which allow you to securely access your LAN while you are on the road.
    Of course, you must know how to configure the PIX correctly. It is a complex device and can be configured pretty much for anything you like. This means of course if you do it wrong you may end up with little or no security.
    BTW, there are no people from linksys in this forums except the moderators (which may be from lithium). To hear from Linksys you have to contact Linksys support.

  • Multiple ISPs & single IP/MPLS/ADSL infrastructure

    Actually very soon we'll have an IP/MPLS core network with ADSL access network.
    What we are going to do is to make several ISPs to use the IP/MPLS core in order to provide internet to their users.
    Can we configure an MPLS VPN for each Service Provider so that it can support the ADSL users from its own Backbone. (I suppose that the MPLS VPN will span several cities, and it will be secure and totally separate from other ISPs MPLS VPNs) .
    If so , can an ASDL user choose the ISP that he wants , or the ADSL port will be dedicated for a specific ISP.
    Could you provide me with examples for multiple ISPs that use the same IP/MPLS/ADSL infrastructure & what are the all existing(already applied in the real world) senarios ?
    Thank You in advance

    Mike,
    You can definitly do what you described. actually i am a network engineer for an isp that uses exactly that service from a carrier. there are at least 10 more isps on that share this mpls core to reach that carriers dsl customers.
    There are few ways i know to do while enabling users to select their isp:
    use PPPoE or PPPoA for the dsl users. get those dsl users to terminate at your BRAS (which should also be a PE in some of the options (for example a7301 routers stack). from this point the solution divides to two options:
    1. this option is faster but not so acaleable.
    In this option you termintae the ppp sessions sends a radius request to your radius server that by the domain name recognizes to which isp the customer belongs to (for example [email protected] vs [email protected]), and forward the request to that isp radius which then authorizes it and within the response sends an vrf selection. then the users belongs to that vrf on your network that belong to that isp.
    in this option one dsl user can have severel isp accounts and switch between them by changing the credientials in his ppp software.
    2. this options requires a more comples system from the isp but gives him much greater control over his subscribers and saves you a hell of a management burden. this options begin like the previous one with a PPPoE/PPPoA session coming from the dsl users to your BRAS (which doesn't need to be a PE but rather be a CE) however this time the BRAS is configured not the teminate the ppp sessions but to map them (by the domain name) to l2tp tunnels which will terminate in the isp BRAS. in this scenario all isps can share the same vrf since they get the l2tp/ppp seperation of each user session.
    It gives he isp many advantages like controlling the addressing, applying serivces etc etc. again users can switch between isps by changing the username@doamin at their ppp software.
    The third option is based on service selection devices like cisco ssg. in this option you can use the adsl in 1483b mode (cisco rbe for example).the service selection device is the one that terminates the atm pvcs from the dslam. when the users is trying to access the internet he is presented with captive web page where he is required to authenticate with his isp. this authentication request is then proxied to the right isp (again by the domain) which replys with a radius response that include the vrf assignment. again users can switch between isps any time.
    I hope this helps.
    If you require further clarifications you are welcome to contact me at: [email protected]

  • Can ASA5505 have connection to multiple ISPs

    Can a Cisco ASA5505 use 2 different ISPs? I want to connect 2 different ISPs to my cisco router and use them in a failover type situation. So, the backup internet connection would be used only if the primary is unavailable? 
    I have an internet connection that seems to loose connectivity almost daily. I want a backup internet connection, but I want to kick in automatically if possible.
    Thanks for any advice!

    It sure can! Here's a link that should help you out.

  • PIX-515E - Reason 412: the remote peer is no longer responding...

    Hi,
    I am unable to VPN to my network from outside using cisco VPN client to PIX-515E.
    When I try it say:
    Reason 412: the remote peer is no longer responding...
    From inside everything work ok, I can connect... (same computer, same settings...)
    Maybe the problem is not in PIX??
    Few days ago I upgrade FWSM from 3.1.x to
    FWSM Firewall Version 4.1(9)
    Device Manager Version 6.2(2)F
    Can this upgrade cause problem???
    I compare running conf: and I notice this new commands:
    service reset no-connection
    no service reset connection marked-for-deletion
    I try with opposite:
    no service reset no-connection
    service reset connection marked-for-deletion
    but still I cannot VPN....
    Any advice?
    THX,
    Ivan

    Problem solved...
    as usual I cause the problem instead of 8 i wrote 3... i was checking that IP address several time but didn't see
    now when I was preparing to put running config online and replacing ip address ... something jump into my eye....
    So thnx Jennifer :-)
