Image recovery on 5520 IDS Module (ASA-SSM-10) TFTP timeout failure

I have an ASA 5520 with an ASA-SSM-10 module in it for IDS.  It has (from what I can tell) never been used or configured.  In fact, I only recently found that it existed!  I would like to begin using it, starting with replacing the software image with the latest (I do NOT need any configuration from it now).

I know that I can reach 10.10.10.9 from 172.17.1.x.  And this is the present port IP of the device.  If I do a 'session1' and ping 10.10.10.9, I get replies.  I know my TFTP is working ... I use it for all of my switches for config backups and installing new IOS.  And watching my TFTP server window, I am not seeing any connection attempts.
What am I doing wrong here?  :-(

Thanks for your response. As I mentioned earlier in my email, I tried 2 different images (IPS-SSC_5-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.2-2-E4.img and IPS-SSM_10-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-5-E4.img) without any success. Since there are no packets coming from IPS on the TFTP server, I think the problem is something else.
When I run the "debug cplane 255" command, I see some errors mentioned below:
asa(config)# debug cplane 255
debug cplane  enabled at level 255
asa(config)#
cp_connect: Connecting to card 1, socket 3, port 7000

cp_check_connection: handle -1, conflicts with connection 2 (-1)
cp_check_connection: handle -1, conflicts with connection 3 (-1)

Is this a hardware issue?

  • Will ASA-SSM-20 reload affect ASA failover?

    I have 2 ASA 5520s with an ASA-SSM-20 installed in each. The ASA-SSM-20 in the primary ASA is not working correctly:
    Error: Cannot communicate with mainApp (getVersion). Please contact your system administrator.
    Would you like to run cidDump?[no]:
    I would like to reload the module, but I don't know if that will cause the whole ASA to failover. The ASAs are running 7.2(3).
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks Brett.
    We are using stateful failover. Not all sessions get dropped, just enough Telnet and application interface links that we start getting calls and people show up at my door. This is on a new ASA5520 that normally runs <5% CPU utilization. I just checked the failover link is set to 1000FULL so there should not be any delay updated state information.
    Am I missing something in the config?

  • Licese Expire on ASA Platform:ASA-SSM-20

    Dear Sir/Mada,
    Currently i have Cisco ASA 5520 with  ( Platform: ASA-SSM-20) and the license expire on next month.
    Could you let me know the P/N should i order to renewal?
    Best Regards,
    Rechard.

    Have you renewed your IPS license yet? Not sure what question you are asking, however you can renew your IPS smartnet through your vendor or directly with Cisco. You just need to provide you contract number or your Serial number of your IPS device. While you are in the process of renewing your contract, you can get a temporary license from cisco

    Let us know if you still need any assistance with this.

  • ASA SSM IPS module upgrade won't work

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to upgrade the IPS sig's on an ASA5520 with a SSM IPS module. I'm trying to upgrade the system to 5.1.1 to further upgrade the device with no luck.
    I followed these steps provided by Cisco.com:
    1. Log in to the ASA.
    2. Enter enable mode:
    asa# enable
    3. Configure the recovery settings for ASA-SSM:
    asa (enable)# hw-module module 1 recover configure
    NOTE: If you make an error in the recovery configuration, use the
    hw-module module 1 recover stop command to stop the system reimaging
    and then you can correct the configuration.
    4. Specify the TFTP URL for the system image:
    Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]:
    Example:
    Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]: tftp://10.20.30.40/IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-1.img
    5. Specify the command and control interface of ASA-SSM:
    Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
    Example:
    Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 11.21.31.41
    6. Leave the VLAN ID at 0.
    VLAN ID [0]:
    7. Specify the default gateway of the ASA-SSM:
    Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
    Example:
    Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 11.22.33.44
    8. Execute the recovery:
    asa# hw-module module 1 recover boot
    9. Periodically check the recovery until it is complete.
    NOTE: The status reads "Recovery" during recovery and reads "Up" when
    reimaging is complete.
    AFter #8 it just goes back to the enable prompt. A 'sh module' lists the device as 'recover' and hangs FOREVER.... I tested the TFTP server which the new image resides on, and the TFTP is working fine. I don't see any attempts or downloads from the TFTP server for over an hour.
    I opened a Ciscop TAC on this and not receiving alot of help...
    Please help!!!:)
    Thanks

    The recovery using this method can takes upwards of 30 minutes, and in some cases even longer.
    How long have you left the SSM in the "recovery" state?
    There may be something wrong in the config you entered. when that happens the SSM can go into a continuous reboot cycle trying to do the recovery.
    Execute "debug module-boot" on the console of the ASA.
    The debug output will show you the ROMMON output of the SSM itself. (The SSM has it's own ROMMON. The recovery boot command sends the settings made during the recover configure command to the SSM's ROMMON).
    If the ROMMON is experiencing a problem in trying to download the tftp image you should now see that ROMMON error message.
    Some typical problems I have seen:
    1) Wrong IP given for the sensor.
    2) Wrong IP given for the gateway (the gateway must exist on the same network as the sensor) this problem usually happens when using a non-standard netmasked network.
    3) Not having the sensor's command and control port plugged into the right network. The external port of the SSM itself is where the IP is being applied. You need to ensure that the extenral port of the SSM is plugged into the right network for that IP.
    4) The tftp server is not reachable from the network where the sensor's command and control port is attached. Some users think that if the ASA itself can reach the tftp server that the SSM will also be able to. This is not always the case. It is best to use a tftp server on the same network as the IP provided to the SSM. Or to test the tftp server from another machine on the same network as the SSM.
    5) The file name is wrong. Check the captialization especially.
    6) The file is not in the default directory on the tftp server. If the file is in a subdirectory you will need to add that subdirectory to the URL:
    tftp://10.20.30.40/subdirectoryname/filename
    7) The tftp is timing out.
    There are 2 things that can cause this:
    a) The tftp server is remote, and it takes too long to download the file. The ROMMON does have limits on the number of retries and per packet timeouts (but they are not user configurable). Try using a tftp server local to the SSM.
    b) The switch that the SSM connects to has spanning-tree running and spanning-tree does not complete before the SSM ROMMON times out for the tftp attempt. The tftp attempt happens immediately upon ROMMON startup and link up. But with a switch the switch port may be in a "Listen" or "Learn" state for 40 seconds before the box can actually talk on the network. In some cases the tftp download attempts started as soon as link up, and may timeout even before the spanning-tree completes. To work around this configure "spanning-tree portfast" on the switchport. Spanning-tree will connect the port into the vlan immediately rather than 40 seconds later.
    If it was a config problem when configuring the recovery settings, then there is a "recover stop" command on the ASA.
    It will stop the reboot cycle from happening.
    Let the module come up with the old image.
    Then correct your "recover configure" settings, and try the "recover boot" again.
    Another alternative:
    Stop the recovery "recover stop"
    Let it boot into the old image.
    If it was a 5.0 version, then you can actually upgrade to 5.1 using the sensor's own CLI "upgrade" command. It is actually the preferred method.
    The "recover" from the ASA will wipe the box clean and load a fresh image.
    The "upgrade" from the sensor will convert your 5.0 config into a 5.1 config while installing 5.1.
    5.1 upgrade file:
    IPS-K9-min-5.1-1g.pkg
    http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5
    It can be applied through the sensor's CLI upgrade command, or pushed directly through IDM, or applied by CSM.
    The "recover" should be limited to disaster recovery. When you can't access the SSM at all, or the files on the SSM have been corrupted.
    For normal upgrades you want to use "upgrade" files done through the sensor itelf (CLI, IDM, or CSM).

    Reto

    Are you able to stop the recovery from continuously running? Use "hw-module module 1 recover stop" to end it. Then try to reset it again (hw-module module 1 reset).
    If the module become unresponsive due to too long running in recover mode, big chances you need to reset the ASA. But try to reset/shut it down via ASA CLI first before decide to shutdown/powerup the whole box. This may be inevitable. During shutdown, remove the module, and power-up the ASA. Insert the module once the ASA is properly running, and check the status/mode again.
    Start the boot recovery process again, recover configure if necessary. If you need to stop it, issue "hw-module module 1 recover stop" within 45sec after the recover boot/configure started.

  • ASA 5585-X IPS SSP system image recovery?

    SSP-10 in slot 0
    IPS SSP-60 in slot 1
    This is not a supported configuration but does it actually work?
    On one chassis the system image is missing from IPS SSP-60. I attempted hw-module recovery from tftp but it just gets stuck in recovery mode. IPS SSP console says pretty much says its in boot loop because it does not have a valid image.
    The procedure I used
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.1/installation/guide/hw_system_images.html#wp1371782
    I can download the image via tftp to flash but the recovery for IPS SSP just does't load from tftp.
    When there are two modules in the chassis, the management port for IPS SSP-60 comes up (green) but I don't see management 1/0 port. Is it still referenced by management 0/0 on IPS SSP console?

    It sounds surprisingly about ASA5515 and SCM 4.3

  • Upgrading IPS strings, ASA SSM-10 module

    I am having a challenging time upgrading the ASA SSM-10 IPS module. I down loaded the IPS-sig-s327-req-e1.pkg to Win XP ftp server (my workstation). The instructions in following does not work: http://download-sj.cisco.com/cisco/ciscosecure/ips/6.x/sigup/IPS-sig-S327.readme.txt

    Port IP Address: 0.0.0.0
    Gateway IP Address: 0.0.0.0
    VLAN ID: 0

    So it will have an effect on the firewall, causing it to fail over?
    Also I am having a hard time understanding the recovery process as it seems the device needs to be configured to allow the recovery image to be used. I have no idea how if at all the device is configured, we have zero access to the device as we have none of the passwords for it and no idea how it's configured.
    from looking at the above (1st post) you can there is no recovery location set. How do I recover with no info on the device?

  • ASA-SSM-10 Unresponsive

    Hi,
    I've installed an ASA-SSM-10 module into my ASA 5510 firewall but it's in "Unresponsive" state. I tried to reset and recover the module but nothing seems to work. Below you may find information about the system and details about what I did. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Firewall:
    ASA5510-K8, 1024 MB RAM, CPU Pentium 4 Celeron 1600 MHz
    Internal ATA Compact Flash, 256MB
    System image file is "disk0:/asa843-k8.bin"
    Device Manager Version 6.4(3)
    IPS Module:
    ASA 5500 Series Security Services Module-10  ASA-SSM-10
    Hw Version: 1.0
    Sw Version: 6.2(2)E4
    SSM Application Version: 6.2(2)E4
    I have 2 IPS images at my TFTP server:
    IPS-SSC_5-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.2-2-E4.img
    IPS-SSM_10-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-5-E4.img
    I tried the command: hw-module module 1 reset
    At first module status changes to "Inıt" but after then it goes back to "Unresponsive"
    I used the command "hw-module module 1 recover configure" for 2 different images mentioned above by the same order and then tried:
    "hw-module module 1 recover boot"
    Module status changes to "Recover" and stays like that for hours. I've waited for 2 hours for 2 different images. And then I issued the command: hw-module module 1 recover stop and the module goes back to "Unresponsive" state.
    The Module's network interface is connected to the same switch where the TFTP server is connected. When I run a sniffer on the TFTP server (Linux, tcpdump), there's no TFTP activity. But I can use this TFTP server from ASA (Connected to the Inside interface).
    ASA Inside interface IP Address: X.X.X.1
    TFTP Server IP Address: X.X.X.8
    "show module 1 recover" command output:
    Module 1 recover parameters...
    Boot Recovery Image: Yes
    Image URL:           tftp://X.X.X.8/IPS-SSC_5-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.2-2-E4.img
    Port IP Address:     X.X.X.2
    Gateway IP Address:  X.X.X.1
    VLAN ID:             0
    (There are no VLANs used on this network.)

    Thanks for your response. As I mentioned earlier in my email, I tried 2 different images (IPS-SSC_5-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.2-2-E4.img and IPS-SSM_10-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-5-E4.img) without any success. Since there are no packets coming from IPS on the TFTP server, I think the problem is something else.
    When I run the "debug cplane 255" command, I see some errors mentioned below:
    asa(config)# debug cplane 255
    debug cplane  enabled at level 255
    asa(config)#
    cp_connect: Connecting to card 1, socket 3, port 7000
    cp_connect: Error - cp_connect() returned -1
    cp_check_connection: handle -1, conflicts with connection 1 (-1)
    cp_check_connection: handle -1, conflicts with connection 2 (-1)
    cp_check_connection: handle -1, conflicts with connection 3 (-1)
    cp_update_connection: Error updating connection_id 0
    Is this a hardware issue?

  • Equivalent to show disk0: on ASA-SSM-10

    Hi, are you able to see the contents of the disk on an ASA-SSM-10 module? Like the show disk0: command on my 5510? I know it has an internal flash disk..Is that where the image and configuration files and software are located? Can one see these files and copy them to TFTP server?
    Cheers
    Phil

    Hi Philip,
    You can view this content through the service account of IPS. The downside will be that you can only access it with the supervision of TAC. If you want to see the configuration you can do a show config; if you want to see what version are you running you can do it through the show version command.

  • Password reset on a older ASA-SSM-20

    Hi I have takken over a running ASA with a ASA-SSM-20
    but nowhere can i find the password
    and the asa is running 8.0.3 but the SSM is only running 5.1
    so the command hw-module module x password-reset dosn't work
    anybody there have an idea how to fix it
    thanks in advance

    In that case then the only way to recover
    the password is to perform a re-image of the AIP-SSM.
    You can perform the re-image via tftp using the commands
    'hardware-module module 1 recover configure' and then 'hardware-module
    module 1 recover boot'
    Link Re-image instructions

    Do you need the syslogs to be sent or the Events.
    IPS sensors do not support syslog forwarding.  Syslog is fairly
    restrictive in size of messages and is not secure or reliable.
    sensor does support sending of events using SNMP
    (again with the same sets of restrictions:  not full data, clear text,
    not reliable).
    There is a physical ability to send events as traps.  It isn't
    recommended for many reasons (or lets say it isn't recommended in the
    same way that monitoring using SDEE is).  SNMP trap receivers generally
    aren't built to handle, say 200 events per second per device.  The
    sensor isn't capable of sending at the same event rate as it is with
    SDEE.  The traps are in clear text and are not reliably sent.  They
    don't contain the same amount of info as an SDEE event, and can't.
    If you need the events to  be sent to a database you can run cisco IME which can collect all the events generated by the IPS.
    Hope this helps.
