How to easily bring Cisco ASA back into failover.

We had two asa's that were never upgraded so I decided to upgrade them.  However the failover was never turned off.  If I copy the config off the one asa to the other and bring both back online will this take care of the issue or will I need to re-do the config on both the the primary unit and the secondary unit?

Hello,
1) First thing is to keep up to date with the Cisco vulnerabilities announcements to check whether your box is not compliant, etc.
Use Scanning tools like NMAP,ZEN-MAP, Veracode, etc.
Use Dictionary attacks to determie whether you can hack into the Device.
Etc,etc.
2) To audit the ASA well
Check the ACLs (make sure they are as specific as possible) Show run access-list
Make sure a failover cluster is in place (show failover)
Make sure traffic not desired is denied (packet-tracer tool)
Make sure you are sending logs to a syslog server for further audit stuff.( show run logging)
Check the Authentication ,Authorization and Accounting variables (show run aaa)
Etc
3) Change the ACLs to satisfy your needs. Being more specific is always more secure.
access-list outside_inside permit tcp any host 4.2.2.2
to
access-list outside_inside permit tcp any host 4.2.2.2 eq 80 (In the case of a HTTP server)
4) Always check release-notes and Cisco vulnerabilities announcements

  • How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

    I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
    Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto.  Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

    I have my photos in  iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

    When what is clicked?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.

    How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
    I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account.  NOT outlook to iclout.  there are 6325 contacts in icloud.  only 12 in outlook.  about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud.  i had to restore my computer PC.  My iphone is correct.  My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

    Hello Otienogo,
    Try the below steps on your iPhone,
    Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
    Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
    When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge.  All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
    Hope this helps you.

  • How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5?

    I have executed an initial replication of a single material into a clean EBP 5.5 (SRM 5.0) , i.e. no product master has ever existed
    After changing MATERIAL filters in R3AC1 and afterwards replicating using R3AS I managed to get more materials into the EBP 5.5 but found out that my filter settings had to be changed. So i deleted all product master (COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL) succesfully changed my filter and ran R3AS but no materials was replicated... I have checked SMQ1 and SMQ2 which were empty. I have even tried to go back to the starting point of replicating just the one material and still no luck (even synchronized filter with R/3). I have gone through a number of notes. I have gone into SMWP and there are some red lights but e.g. 'Adapter Status Information' and 'System Settings' looks fine.
    How can I get my materials back into EBP 5.5? Is it a problem of changing filters and doing intial replications continuosly?
    While writing the above I have just now created a new material in ECC 6.0 and set up the filter to replicate just this new material and it was succesfully replicated to EBP 5.5 with product master! I guess something has to be cleaned up before I can get my materials back into EBP 5.5??? How???

    I managed to replicate all my materials with the broad range filter definition after working my way through all the errors in SMW01. However, I still don't understand why I couldn't make an initial replication of a single material (previously deleted)... anyway it is working now
    Thanks for all the help!

  • How do I put recovery files back into ASM?

    I'm trying to recover a database for testing. I have all the backup files in a directory. I've restored the controlfile.
    When I run the restore, the error is:
    RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/21/2009 19:24:52
    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
    I'm guessing that I either need to tell rman where to find the files or put the files back into the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    So 1) How do I tell rman that the files are now in a directory
    or 2) How do I put the files back into ASM?
    Thanks - JR

    I restored the control file with the rman "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filenamegoeshere'; It was the control file backup from the corresponding DB backup.
    I couldn't use the RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP because it was expecting the backup files to be in the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    The catalog lists all the files that I have, but it thinks they are in ASM.
    Thanks - JR

  • How can i bring my mac back to factory condition?

    how can i bring my mac back to factory condition?

    Insert its original install DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a new OS on it. If you're going to be selling or giving away the computer, throw any files which may contain sensitive data in the Trash and securely empty it first, and include the disks with it.

  • How do I get Cisco Connect back?

    I bought the Linsky E2000, and after I installed it Cisco Connect was installed too. Someone in my household uninstalled Cisco Connect so now my Linsky gaming adapter wont work so my laptop and PS3 can't go on the internet. How do I get Cisco Connect back?

    I gave up on Cisco Connect the same way I did the stock E300 firmware, so it's now moot to me. The one thing I found with the Connect software was that if you make a change to the router setup from the web interface, Connect lis likely to no work anymore.
    I was able to get it back a couple of times by changing the XML config file on *all* the machines. Most of the connect testing period, I wound up doing a 30-30-30 reset on the router and reconfiguring from scratch. No more, since I went to TomatoUSB.

  • Using AOL email how do I bring my SMTP password into line with my actual password so I can send email?

    Using AOL email how do I bring my SMTP password into line with my actual password so I can send email? Thanks.

    I'm trying to go from memory now when it happened to me, but try turning the server Off. See if that ungreys the setting so that you can enter the password and username. I believe on my one AOL account what I did was to select another SMTP server from the list below the primary server.

  • How do i bring the kuler swatches into Photoshop?

    How do i bring the kuler swatches into Photoshop? I don't see any buttons that say "download" or anything like that.

    Yes, i logged in and hit the download button.  When i open up the 
    file i get a message that reads "melody.ase is an unknown format and 
    cannot be opened."  I changed the extension, but still no luck.
    You can't "open" the .ase file. You must load it into Illustrator, 
    Photoshop, or InDesign (versions CS2 or later). Go to the Swatches 
    panel in the respective application and choose "Load Swatches" from 
    the panel's flyout menu.

  • Since downloading spotify trial (one month), i seem to have lost itunes and my music from my dock. how do i bring my music back

    Since downloading Spotify app (trial for 1 month), i seem to have lost itunes from my dock, including my music. How do i bring it & all my music back. the last time i saved it to my hard drive was 3 months ago.

    If you start iTunes from Launchpad or Applications. It will Show the icon on the desktop. Right mouse click select Options and Keep in Dock.
    When you say your music has dissapeared is it removed from your hard drive?
    username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music is the path to my music on the local hard drive?
    If it is missing from itunes then redrag the Music folder back into iTunes and your music should reappear.
    Or did you mean something else?
