Upgrading license for more context cisco asa 5580

Hi guys:
This is the situation I got to firewalls with failover and I need to upgrade the license so I can get more context (right now I have 5 context and I need 10) so I was looking at the procedure and I'm not sure If I need to restart the device or not. I was looking at this procedure:
Upgrading the License for a Failover using ASDM (No Reload Required)
Use the following procedure using ASDM if your new license does not require you to reload. This procedure ensures that there is no downtime.
•1.       On the active unit, choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and uncheck the Enable Failover check box. Now click Apply. The standby unit remains in a pseudo-standby state. Deactivating failover on the active unit prevents the standby unit from attempting to become active during the period when the licenses do not match.
•2.       Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the active unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.
•3.       Log into the standby unit by double-clicking its address in the Device List. If the device is not in the Device List, click Add to add the device. You might be prompted for credentials to log in.
•4.       Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the standby unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.
•5.       Log into the active unit again by double-clicking its address in the Device List. Choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and re-check the Enable Failover check box.
•6.       Click Apply. This completes the procedure.

But then I checked on the cisco web page that there are some license that need to reload I see this:
All models
Downgrading any license (for example, going from 10 contexts to 2 contexts).
Note If a temporary license expires, and the permanent license is a downgrade, then you do not need to immediately reload the security appliance; the next time you reload, the permanent license is restored.
link: https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa81/license/license81.html
So I just want to know if I'm UPGRADING from 5 to 10 context the reload applies to my situation or not?
Regards

No reload is required when you are upgrading from 5 to 10 security context license.
Reload is only required on the following feature:

Hope this helps.

DfltCustomization File is missing in Cisco ASA 5580

I wanted to perform the customization of the SSL WebVPN page. But When I tried to create a new Customization object is is not happening as the
DfltCustomization object is not available.
We are having so many webvpn configuration and objects that i cant issue "revert webvpn all" command.
Can I able to import the File from any location or anyone can provide me the default customization object file so the I can export it into the ASA and create new custmixed object accordingly.
Or what other steps I can take to have customization happening in my Cisco ASA 5580. 8.2 (5) and ASDM 6.4.
With Regards,
Faizul

Hi Faizul,
I am including the DfltCustomization file, which has been exported from an active ASA.
Please try to upload it and let me know.

I have 8 people in a studio. I had to set up a bunch of "fake" adobe accounts in order for all of us to use the cloud. When will there be a corporate license for the cloud?

Font - increase license for more seats

How can I purchase more seats for a font license?

Hi Michael,
While placing the order , u might have got the option to select for delivery of licenses either though E-Delivery or in physical form.
If u have selected for e-delivery , then u would get a mail from [email protected] consisting of Order Number, Sales Order number and PART Codes.
From there, u would get a link to https://edelivery.cisco.com/esd/order.do?view&orderId=XXXXXXXX which is mapped to your CCOId.From there, u can expand the PART Codes and from extreme right , u would get DOWN ARROW for Download Option.
You can accept thee agreement and download which is in zip format consisting of pdf for EULA and PAK code..

Which is better for Branch Office Cisco ASA or Cisco 1900 router for Branch Office?

Which is a better solution ?
Using ASA55XX or 1900 series router for WAN and Internet access for 25 - 100 users?

Without knowing more about the environment and what the real requirements are, it is difficult to give a really good answer. If your main concern is effective stateful inspection of traffic entering and leaving the site then the ASA is optimized for that. If you want redundancy (active/active or active/standby) then the ASA is better for this. There are other potential requirements which may make the router the better choice:
- what is the connection to the Internet? If it is Ethernet then either ASA or router will do fine. But if it is something other than Ethernet then you may need the router.
- is there a need for services such as Policy Based Routing? These are available on the router and not on the ASA.
- is there a need for load balancing on outbound traffic? This is available on the router and not on the ASA.
- will there be a need to do routing on the inside network? The range of available options is wider on the router than on the ASA.
- is there a need to run a routing protocol with the Internet provider? The usual choice for this is BGP and that is available on router and not on ASA.
So consider these criteria as you make your choice. Or provide more detail about your environment and what your real requirements are and we may be able to give better advice.

4402 Upgrade License for Additional Access Points

Can you apply the L-LIC-WPLUS-25 to a 4402 to allow it more access points? Or are the 4402 Models all locked into their designated access point license?
Thanks,
-Con

Hi Con,
Sadly not :(
The number of AP support is "hard coded" on the WLC model and is not upgradable until the 5500 series.
Cheers!

License for more users

I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Standard on two computers. Is it possible to install the program on 2 more?

Both PCs I have installed Adobe 8 on have since crashed. Yes I am the lucky one indeed. It is bad enough that I am having to spend well over a grand in pc repairs without Adobe adding to that fun fest by charging me for the right to simply reload a program I have already paid an ASTRONOMICAL amount of money for. This is NOT my attempting to illegally copy your product. It is a HUGELY COMMON issue...PCS DO MELT DOWN and when this happens one is forced to do the all-consuming SYSTEM RESTORE which takes more time than ANY OF US can afford! Can I please get some assistance with this! - A. Sklar

CreativeCloud license for more than 2 computers

I made the signing of Creative Cloud and programs installed on 2 computers, I need to install on another notebook, is there any way to an additional without having to pay a new subscription? (using google translator)

Hi Fernandosilva,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
The CC has been activated twice.
You need to deactivate it from PC,
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

In case the is still not resolved, please contact Adobe at

Cisco ASA 5580 Arp Collision Errors

Dears,
I am receiving allot of Errors "%ASA-4-405001: received ARP collision from IP/MAC on interface dmz1 with existing ARP Entry IP/MAC
When i checked this MAC address in the same firewall it shows too many IP Addresses.
What could be the reason ?
Thanks...

Hello Richard,
My first though is why is the ASA receiving this traffic is this is traffic that should not reach the default-gateway.
Anyway try the following
same-security-traffic permit intra-interface
Let me know how it goes

Upgrading computer for more capacity for 80G iPod - Averting trouble

I have a wonderful 80G video iPod (and a mini)and thankfully no problems. But I have an old Dell Inspiron 600m with a 30G Hard drive and only 512 Mb of memory. Its slow and I'm afraid to load much more into iTunes or the computer in general (I still have lots of room on the iPod) such as videos and movies. But I don't want to get a new laptop with Vista and I've heard that converting from a PC to a Mac once you've configured your iPod on one system doesn't work well. So my new idea is to add more memory and maybe get a bigger hard drive. Question is what impact might this have on iTunes and the iPod? How can I transfer everything I have on iTunes to either a new external hard drive or a new internal hard drive? In this case, is one better than the other? Will the iPod/iTunes accept this and see it as authorized? Am I better off not changing anything?

Cisco ASA 5505 not able to access flash

Hi All:
I have searched and searched all over the net for an answer to this question and have decided to just post it. I have a 5505 that was given to me by my job to use for working on my CCNA Sec. cert and did the following:
I plugged it in and booted it up just fine. Made config changes as I followed along with the examples in my CCNA Security book. Got to the point in chapter 14 where the initial setup happens to configure it for working with ASDM. I never did a write mem on it and decided to take it back to square one by unplugging it to allow it to lose the changes that I made. This is where things got ugly.
When it booted back up it got stuck in a bootup loop and couldn't find an IOS. After following all kinds of steps to boot to rommon and tftp another IOS and such (several times) I decided to follow another posting that said that the flash could be corrupted and to just delete it and start anew. Did that and through rommon as it would not boot up normally any more. After trying this over and over for the last couple hours I realized that it would boot from tftp so I did that in hopes of fixing the flash issue.
I've tried deleting it, and re-initializing it and formating it. But the thing is that it no longer SEES the disk0: mount point. I've used two different flash cards...the one that came with it and the one that I already had. With the cover off I can see that there is no activity light next to the flash drive when I issue a delete or initialize or format command.
Here is a copy of some of the output file. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Yeah...I think I found that one out the hard way already. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I want to get this issue fixed before I start thinking about the license issue.

ASA 5580 with EtherChannel 20Gbs, Does the Failover link must match the same Speed?

Hello,
I have an ASA 5580, I am plannning on setting two EtherChannels (inside and outside), each channel will include two TenGigabit interfaces.
My questions is that if the links that I am gonig to use for the failover and link, should also be 20Gbs each, or it is ok to use 10Gbs for each link?
According to the Configuration guide 8.4
Use the following failover interface speed guidelines for the ASAs:
• Cisco ASA 5510
– Stateful link speed can be 100 Mbps, even though the data interface can operate at 1 Gigabit due
to the CPU speed limitation.
• Cisco ASA 5520/5540/5550
– Stateful link speed should match the fastest data link.
• Cisco ASA 5580/5585
– Use only non-management 1 Gigabit ports for the stateful link because management ports have
lower performance and cannot meet the performance requirement for Stateful Failover.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have 2x ASA5580-20 with 8x1GE interfaces and additional 2x 10GE interfaces each. Software version running is v8.4.4.1.
I am planning to use them in multiple context (active/active) transparent mode. Taking into account the FW performance of 5Gbps real-world traffic per ASA5580-20, which on the following interface configurations would make the most sense?
Option 1:
2x10GE = 20GE Etherchannel for Data
1x1GE LAN Failover
1x1GE STATE Failover
Option 2:
1x 10GE Data
1x 10GE LAN & STATE Failover
Option 3:
2x10GE = 20GE Etherchannel for Data
4x1GE = 4GE Etherchannel for LAN/STATE Failover (possibly up to 8x1GE)
(etherchannel for LAN/STATE Failover actually does not make much sense, since only one interface wll be used anyway)
Option 4:
1x10GE LAN & STATE Failover
8x1GE = 8 GE Etherchannel for Data
I have read several guides (e.g. link1, link2, link3). Some state that 1GE Failover interfaces would suffice for the ASA5580, others recommend a link as fast as the data link. Almost none of them account for higher bandwidth etherchannels.
What is recommended in this case? Both Firewalls will be connected to one VSS Switch Pair, so it would make sense to cross-connect with at least 2 links on each VSS member.
The ASA does not support connecting an EtherChannel to a switch stack. If the ASA EtherChannel is connected cross stack, and if the Master switch is powered down, then the EtherChannel connected to the remaining switch will not come up. (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/interface_start.html)
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Show conn in cisco asa

Hi Team,
Does the show conn count includes both tcp + udp + embryonic connections.
Because when i do a calculation in excel from the output of show conn, i got the below output.
It was extracted from the command "show local-host | include host|count/limit"
(A):
   Total Sum of TCP embryonic count to host = 331
(B):
     Total Sum of TCP flow count/limit = 102938
(C):
     Total Sum of UDP flow count/limit = 3512505
firewall#show conn count
1912284 in use, 2000002 most used
Please let me know how this is caluclated. If show conn count = A+B+C, then i am suspecting that old connection entries are not getting flushed out from the connection table in cisco asa 5580 with version 8.3.2.
Really im in need of help...

Hi Kimberly,
My question was, the count of show conn & show local-host does not match... More over, as the show conn was showing that the max limit of 2 million will be reaching very soon... So, i would like to troubleshoot the output of show local-host | include host|count/limit, where in i could see that one of the webserver has lots of tcp connection (lets say 35000, then the other two servers are consuming udp connections 7lacs,5lacs & 3 lacs, as given below...
local host: ,
    TCP flow count/limit = 35857/unlimited
    TCP embryonic count to host = 25
    UDP flow count/limit = 0/unlimited
local host: ,
    TCP flow count/limit = 306/unlimited
    TCP embryonic count to host = 8
    UDP flow count/limit = 736807/unlimited
local host: ,
    TCP flow count/limit = 246/unlimited
    TCP embryonic count to host = 2
    UDP flow count/limit = 582010/unlimited
local host: ,
    TCP flow count/limit = 1/unlimited
    TCP embryonic count to host = 0
    UDP flow count/limit = 308412/unlimited
can you pls let me know any other commands can be executed to know if any huge embryonic/virus attacks/too many broad casts...... Once i clear the local-host, the connections get reduced from a huge value to low value. i reallly do not know if these are geniue traffic or fake ? or do not know if the connection table is not flushing out old entries.. please help
