Cisco Security Manager Appliance bundle

I have a customer subscribed to the Security ELA, so all security related licenses and subscriptions are free. It is possible to order this product as an appliance without the bundled licenses?

Yes, if we do get a UCS, it will be sized to accommodate more than just CSM due to the other stuff we could load it with, although now that Cisco VMs run under Hyper-V....? We are also getting FS (their VM is not big enough, shame) in hope that appliance/product will absorb CSM in a future release.
Thanks,

Updating Security Management Appliance

Hello Support Community!
I would like to upgrade a Cisco Security Management Appliance (SMA) M160, former Ironport M-Series.
Current Version: 7.9.1-039
My Goal: 8.0.0-402
The 8.0.0-402 has released on March 28, 2013. The Problem is, when i am searching for available upgrades,
i get: "Error - No available upgrades"
There is no error with my firewall, because i can successfull check for new feature keys.
Any idea whats went wrong?
greets
Christian

You can install a different cert for different process:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/content-security-management-appliance/118460-technote-sma-00.html
Certificates can be used for four different services:
Inbound TLS
Outbound TLS
HTTPS
LDAPS
When you say No, you'll just need to be prepared to enter in the separate certs as needed for each process. And, SMA is still CLI only for cert management.

Security Management Appliance - Multiple SSL Cert support.

Does anyone know if the SMA supports multiple SSL certs? We would like to create a cert for our users that access the Spam Quarantine that uses a different FQDN from what we have now for admin access.
I noticed in instuctions for importing certs into the SMA, that it does ask if you want to use that cert for everything, but I haven't found anything that elaborates on what options you have if you say NO. I'm guessing from that question that it allows for a different cert for a different function, but I'd like confirmation and maybe direction on how to implement.
Thanks in advance.

Cisco Security Manager Advice

Hi,
I'm looking into Cisco Security Manager. From what I understand you can monitor and manage Cisco security appliances. I'm interested in the monitoring of our Cisco ASAs - specifically, monitoring VPN sessions and their trending over months at a time and I would like to monitor other Cisco devices on the network for link problems/performance and such - I don't want to use Cisco Security Manager as a management point. Would Cisco Security Manager not be the right tool for this?
We have SolarWinds and I've heard that you can assign UnDPs(Device Pollers) to devices you want to monitor, including ASAs and these pollers can give you trending for VPN sessions with graphing. I just want to make the most of our budget dollars.
Any advice?
Thanks, Pat.

CSM 4.3 and above can be used to monitor VPN sessions on Cisco ASAs. You can definitely use CSM as a monitoring only solution for ASAs (without using it for management). You can also explicitly disable policy change privileges for all admins so they do not modify stuff by mistake. Note however that CSM is primarily focused on end-to-end management scenarios (including policy change, troubleshooting, reporting, etc). So you may not find all the bells and whistles in CSM for monitoring scenarios that you may find with some of the pure monitoring only solutions.

Cisco Security Manager IOPS for Storage (VM Deployent)

Hi,
I've been asked by a client about the Cisco Security Manager requirement to have 1TB of storage for events and another for archiving.
They wish to know the IOPS requirement for this storage. Please could anyone assist in this ?
Many thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I'm not sure that I can really help you, but I can verify that on my CSM 4.5 server which is running normally, that service has a starup type of automatic and is in the "Started" state.
You may want to check your system and application event logs to see if there are any messages that could explain why it stopped.

Unable to Install Cisco Security Manager

Hi,
I facing issue when trying to install Cisco Security Manager in my Windows Server 2008.
I had attach the print screen of my server version and error message.
The error message had mention that it was due to unsupport OS or terminal service.
But, i check and it show that my Window Server was the recommend version and no terminal service been enable.

Hi Vincent,
Please understand that Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Server is not same as Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Server. I had faced the same problem earlier. The R2 version is supported only CSM 4.1 onwards.

Cisco Security Manager Local RBAC Authentication Radius assign user role

Is it possible to use Cisco Security Manager with local RBAC, authenticate the user to Radius and retrieve it's role from Radius. Getting the authentication to work isn't the problem, but is it also possible to return the role the user has (i.e. Super Admin) via Radius, without having to create all the users one-by-one in the local CSM database with the correct role.
Can i use a certain Cisco-AV-Pair attribute to return the user role via Radius?

I just got asked to look at the same situation by one of our security people.
We have exactly the same problem but it reports a username of "*****" and we are running CSM 4.7 (upgraded last week)

Cisco Security Manager logging

Hello Experts,
Can anyone help me, how can i configure CSM 4.0 to capture its logs.
I want to read logs of Cisco Security Manager itself, so how can i do that & in which location it captures it log file.

There are multiple server logs (47 of them on my CSM 4.4 setup) all stored on the server itself and accessible from Windows Explorer.
You will need to RDP to the server and look at the log directory under the path where you installed CSM.

Cisco Security Manager (CSM) License Problem

Hi All,
We have CSM V3.2 with Professional license edition and support 50 devices. It's installed properly in the Cisco Security Manager client as appeared in the attachement but the problem is in the server administration- license management which doesn't include any records for license (see attachment).
I tried to upload the .lic file by clicking the Update button in server administration but an error message appeared stated that the license file is corrupted although it's installed properly in CSM client!!!
Could you please advise what's the problem and what should I do?
Thanks in Advance!

Sorry but Cisco seems to have removed that product bulletin from cisco.com.
Your reseller can use Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) to order the correct part number for your CSM installation. There is a unique number for each licensing level and/or upgrade.
For instance, for a 10-device standard license, the support would be part number CON-SAS-CSMST10K.
For the 100-device Pro license, the support would be CON-SAS-CSMPR4K9.
The reseller needs to adjust the support term (12-60 months) to suit when ordering.

Import Network host objects to Cisco Security Manager

Is it possible to import complete lists of Network Hosts objects to Cisco Security Manager?
Exporting the hosts already defined in the ASAs is easy but how to import them in CSM??
Thanks

No hostnames discovered go the Policy Object Manager (nor to the Access rules), only group-names (there's a bug in ASAs related to single host names too). The way CSM handles single hosts is previously creating them, so when we later discover devices, the single hosts names set in the discovered device are not considered, only their IP addresses; then you can see that in the discovered access rules CSM shows the hostname as the previously defined ones in the Policy Object Manager. If you dont define those hostnames before the device discovery, you will only see IP addresses, no hostnames, no matter they are set in your firewalls.
Imagine discovering a couple FWSM modules with 500 access rules, and you only get to see the IP addresses of the 2,500 hosts on your network. And you have all those hosts already defined in your FWSM firewalls, when you log via ASDM you view your hard created rules with hostnames, and when you log to CSM you only view IP addresses. The clients get very disappointed with CSM after that, and discard it. The bigger the network, the faster they reject CSM.
The only way to add hosts in the Policy Object Manager is 1 by 1. But as this may have happened to more than one company and considering how easy it is to code a feature like that, I assume that it's possible to import a complete list of single hosts to CSM.
is that really possible? it should be.
thanks for the replies so far

Cisco Security Manager, need global search, i.e. filters are not good at all

Does anybody know how to work effectively with security manager and filtering?
It is extremely time consuming and frustrating to work with Cisco Security Manager in regards to search for entries or filter. I have not been able to find some kind of global search, is there?
How do other people cope with this?

It appears to have been a temporary issue as the backup is running fine again now... closing the thread.

Catalyst 3750x and 4510R and Cisco Security Manager

Hi,
I just downloaded and install trial (evaluation) version of Cisco Security Manager 4.3. In supported devices list I saw Cisco Catalyst 3750 and 4510R but when I try to add it I got for 3750:
Invalid device: Device is a switch and cannot be mapped to a Generic Router model.
Please verify the selected device type, OS version and device configuration
For 4510R:
Invalid device: Version 03.03.00.SG (N/A) is not supported for the device type of Cisco Catalyst 4510R Switch Please verify the selected device type, OS version and device configuration
We need to make a purchase decision but for it we need to import all of our devices and perform some tests.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
BR, Vasily.

I figured this out on my own -- change Compatibility mode of the installer to be Windows 8 (which is same OS version as Windows 2012) and it installs just fine.

Cisco Security Manager evaluation

How to download CSM software for evaluation ? CSM Q&A state -
Anybody with a valid cisco.com account can download Cisco Security Manager and use the software for up to
90 days in evaluation mode. Visit http://www.cisco.com/go/csmanager and select the “Download Software”
But when I click "Download" I get "To Download this software, you must have a valid service contract associated to your Cisco.com user ID."
Help, plz.
BR, Oleg.

You can contact your local AM to get an evaluations version, this is related to the new 'restricted' downloaded access on CCO. You need to have a service contract assocaited for that 'specific' product to download software (I know it does not make sense in case of an evaluation).
And you also have the following alternate:
Note:
This download does not include CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME). For customers that wish to also evaluate CiscoWorks RME or that prefer a media format rather than a large download, an evaluation DVD can be ordered from Cisco Marketplace. At http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/marketplace/welcome.pl, navigate to the Collateral and Subscriptions Store and search for part number EVAL-CSMGR-4.0.
