Explanation    The primary unit is unable to communicate with the secondary unit over the failover cable. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit. Table 1-2 lists the reason codes and the descriptions to determine why the failover occurred.

Table 1-2 Reason Codes

Reason Code
Description

1

The local unit is not receiving the hello packet on the failover LAN interface when LAN failover occurs or on the serial failover cable when serial failover occurs, and declares that the peer is down.

2

An interface did not pass one of the four failover tests, which are as follows: 1) Link Up, 2) Monitor for Network Traffic, 3) ARP, and 4) Broadcast Ping.

3

No proper ACK for 15+ seconds after a command was sent on the serial cable.

4

The failover LAN interface is down, and other data interfaces are not responding to additional interface testing. In addition, the local unit is declaring that the peer is down.

5

The standby peer went down during the configuration synchronization process.


Recommended Action    Verify that the failover cable is connected correctly and both units have the same hardware, software, and configuration. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

103002

Error Message    %ASA-1-103002: (Primary) Other firewall network interface 
interface_number OK.

Explanation    The primary unit has detected that the network interface on the secondary unit is okay. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    None required.

103003

Error Message    %ASA-1-103003: (Primary) Other firewall network interface 
interface_number failed.

Explanation    The primary unit has detected a bad network interface on the secondary unit. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    Check the network connections on the secondary unit and the network hub connection. If necessary, replace the failed network interface.

103004

Error Message    %ASA-1-103004: (Primary) Other firewall reports this firewall failed.

Error Message    %ASA-1-105007: (Primary) Link status Down on interface interface_name.

Explanation    The results of monitoring the link status of the specified interface have been reported. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    If the link status is down, verify that the network connected to the specified interface is operating correctly.

105008

Error Message    %ASA-1-105008: (Primary) Testing interface interface_name.

Explanation    Testing of a specified network interface has occurred. This testing is performed only if the adaptive security appliance fails to receive a message from the standby unit on that interface after the expected interval. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    None required.

105009

Error Message    %ASA-1-105009: (Primary) Testing on interface interface_name 
{Passed|Failed}.

Explanation    The result (either Passed or Failed) of a previous interface test has been reported. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    None required if the result is Passed. If the result is Failed, you should check the network cable connection to both failover units, that the network itself is functioning correctly, and verify the status of the standby unit.

105010

Error Message    %ASA-3-105010: (Primary) Failover message block alloc failed

Explanation    Block memory was depleted. This is a transient message and the adaptive security appliance should recover. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    Use the show blocks command to monitor the current block memory.

105011

Error Message    %ASA-1-105011: (Primary) Failover cable communication failure

Explanation    The failover cable is not permitting communication between the primary and secondary units. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the cable is connected correctly.

105020

Error Message    %ASA-1-105020: (Primary) Incomplete/slow config replication

Explanation    When a failover occurs, the active adaptive security appliance detects a partial configuration in memory. Normally, this is caused by an interruption in the replication service. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    After the adaptive security appliance detects the failover, the adaptive security appliance automatically reboots and loads the configuration from flash memory and/or resynchronizes with another adaptive security appliance. If failovers occurs continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure that both adaptive security appliances can communicate with each other.

105021

Error Message    %ASA-1-105021: (failover_unit) Standby unit failed to sync due to a 
locked context_name config. Lock held by lock_owner_name

Explanation    During configuration synchronization, a standby unit will reload itself if some other process locks the configuration for more than five minutes, which prevents the failover process from applying the new configuration. This can occur when an administrator pages through a running configuration on the standby unit while configuration synchronization is in process. See also the show running-config command in privileged EXEC mode and the pager lines num command in global configuration mode in the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Command Reference.

Recommended Action    Avoid viewing or modifying the configuration on the standby unit when it first boots up and is in the process of establishing a failover connection with the active unit.

105031

Error Message    %ASA-1-105031: Failover LAN interface is up

Explanation    The LAN failover interface link is up.

Recommended Action    None required.

105032

Error Message    %ASA-1-105032: LAN Failover interface is down

Explanation    The LAN failover interface link is down.

Recommended Action    Check the connectivity of the LAN failover interface. Make sure that the speed or duplex setting is correct.

105034

Error Message    %ASA-1-105034: Receive a LAN_FAILOVER_UP message from peer.

Explanation    The peer has just booted and sent the initial contact message.

Recommended Action    None required.

105035

Error Message    %ASA-1-105035: Receive a LAN failover interface down msg from peer.

Explanation    The peer LAN failover interface link is down. The unit switches to active mode if it is in standby mode.

Recommended Action    Check the connectivity of the peer LAN failover interface.

105036

Error Message    %ASA-1-105036: dropped a LAN Failover command message.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance dropped an unacknowledged LAN failover command message, indicating a connectivity problem exists on the LAN failover interface.

Recommended Action    Check that the LAN interface cable is connected.

105037

Error Message    %ASA-1-105037: The primary and standby units are switching back and 
forth as the active unit.

Explanation    The primary and standby units are switching back and forth as the active unit, indicating a LAN failover connectivity problem or software bug exists.

Recommended Action    Make sure that the LAN interface cable is connected.

105038

Error Message    %ASA-1-105038: (Primary) Interface count mismatch

Explanation    When a failover occurs, the active adaptive security appliance detects a partial configuration in memory. Normally, this is caused by an interruption in the replication service. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    Once the failover is detected by the adaptive security appliance, the adaptive security appliance automatically reboots and loads the configuration from flash memory and/or resynchronizes with another adaptive security appliance. If failovers occur continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure that both adaptive security appliances can communicate with each other.

105039

Error Message    %ASA-1-105039: (Primary) Unable to verify the Interface count with 
mate. Failover may be disabled in mate. 

Explanation    Failover initially verifies that the number of interfaces configured on the primary and secondary adaptive security appliances are the same. This message indicates that the primary adaptive security appliance is not able to verify the number of interfaces configured on the secondary adaptive security appliance. This message indicates that the primary adaptive security appliance is not able to communicate with the secondary adaptive security appliance over the failover interface. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

Recommended Action    Verify the failover LAN, interface configuration, and status on the primary and secondary adaptive security appliances. Make sure that the secondary adaptive security appliance is running the adaptive security appliance application and that failover is enabled.

105040

Error Message    %ASA-1-105040: (Primary) Mate failover version is not compatible.

Explanation    The primary and secondary adaptive security appliances should run the same failover software version to act as a failover pair. This message indicates that the secondary adaptive security appliance failover software version is not compatible with the primary adaptive security appliance. Failover is disabled on the primary adaptive security appliance. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    Maintain consistent software versions between the primary and secondary adaptive security appliances to enable failover.

105042

Error Message    %ASA-1-105042: (Primary) Failover interface OK 

Explanation    The LAN failover interface link is up.

Explanation    The interface used to send failover messages to the secondary adaptive security appliance is functioning. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    None required.

105043

Error Message    %ASA-1-105043: (Primary) Failover interface failed 

Explanation    The LAN failover interface link is down.

Recommended Action    Check the connectivity of the LAN failover interface. Make sure that the speed or duplex setting is correct.

105044

Error Message    %ASA-1-105044: (Primary) Mate operational mode mode is not compatible 
with my mode mode.

Explanation    When the operational mode (single or multiple) does not match between failover peers, failover will be disabled.

Recommended Action    Configure the failover peers to have the same operational mode, and then reenable failover.

105045

Error Message    %ASA-1-105045: (Primary) Mate license (number contexts) is not 
compatible with my license (number contexts).

Explanation    When the feature licenses do not match between failover peers, failover will be disabled.

Recommended Action    Configure the failover peers to have the same feature license, and then reenable failover.

105046

Error Message    %ASA-1-105046 (Primary|Secondary) Mate has a different chassis 

Explanation    Two failover units have a different type of chassis. For example, one has a three-slot chassis; the other has a six-slot chassis.

Recommended Action    Make sure that the two failover units are the same.

105047

Error Message    %ASA-1-105047: Mate has a io_card_name1 card in slot slot_number which 
is different from my io_card_name2

Explanation    The two failover units have different types of cards in their respective slots.

Recommended Action    Make sure that the card configurations for the failover units are the same.

105048

Error Message    %ASA-1-105048: (unit) Mate's service module (application) is different 
from mine (application)

Explanation    The failover process detected that different applications are running on the service modules in the active and standby units. The two failover units are incompatible if different service modules are used.

unit—Primary or secondary

application—The name of the application, such as InterScan Security Card

Recommended Action    Make sure that both units have identical service modules before trying to reenable failover.

106001

Error Message    %ASA-2-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from IP_address/port to 
IP_address/port flags tcp_flags on interface interface_name

Explanation    An attempt was made to connect to an inside address is denied by the security policy that is defined for the specified traffic type. The IP address displayed is the real IP address instead of the IP address that appears through NAT. Possible tcp_flags values correspond to the flags in the TCP header that were present when the connection was denied. For example, a TCP packet arrived for which no connection state exists in the adaptive security appliance, and it was dropped. The tcp_flags in this packet are FIN and ACK.

The tcp_flags are as follows:

ACK—The acknowledgment number was received

FIN—Data was sent

PSH—The receiver passed data to the application

RST—The connection was reset

SYN—Sequence numbers were synchronized to start a connection

URG—The urgent pointer was declared valid

Recommended Action    None required.

106002

Error Message    %ASA-2-106002: protocol Connection denied by outbound list acl_ID src 
inside_address dest outside_address

Explanation    The specified connection failed because of an outbound deny command. The protocol variable can be ICMP, TCP, or UDP.

Recommended Action    Use the show outbound command to check outbound lists.

106006

Error Message    %ASA-2-106006: Deny inbound UDP from outside_address/outside_port to 
inside_address/inside_port on interface interface_name.

Explanation    An inbound UDP packet was denied by the security policy that is defined for the specified traffic type.

Recommended Action    None required.

106007

Error Message    %ASA-2-106007: Deny inbound UDP from outside_address/outside_port to 
inside_address/inside_port due to DNS {Response|Query}.

Explanation    A UDP packet containing a DNS query or response was denied.

Recommended Action    If the inside port number is 53, the inside host probably is set up as a caching name server. Add an access-list command statement to permit traffic on UDP port 53 and a translation entry for the inside host. If the outside port number is 53, a DNS server was probably too slow to respond, and the query was answered by another server.

106010

Error Message    %ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol src 
interface_name:dest_address/dest_port dst 
interface_name:source_address/source_port

Explanation    An inbound connection was denied by your security policy.

Recommended Action    Modify the security policy if traffic should be permitted. If the message occurs at regular intervals, contact the remote peer administrator.

106011

Error Message    %ASA-3-106011: Deny inbound (No xlate) string

Explanation    The message appears under normal traffic conditions if there are internal users that are accessing the Internet through a web browser. Any time a connection is reset, when the host at the end of the connection sends a packet after the adaptive security appliance receives the connection reset, this message appears. It can typically be ignored.

Recommended Action    Prevent this message from getting logged to the syslog server by entering the no logging message 106011 command.

106012

Error Message    %ASA-6-106012: Deny IP from IP_address to IP_address, IP options hex.

Explanation    An IP packet was seen with IP options. Because IP options are considered a security risk, the packet was discarded.

Recommended Action    Contact the remote host system administrator to determine the problem. Check the local site for loose source routing or strict source routing.

106013

Error Message    %ASA-2-106013: Dropping echo request from IP_address to PAT address 
IP_address

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance discarded an inbound ICMP Echo Request packet with a destination address that corresponds to a PAT global address. The inbound packet is discarded because it cannot specify which PAT host should receive the packet.

Recommended Action    None required.

106014

Error Message    %ASA-3-106014: Deny inbound icmp src interface_name: IP_address dst 
interface_name: IP_address (type dec, code dec) 

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance denied any inbound ICMP packet access. By default, all ICMP packets are denied access unless specifically allowed.

Recommended Action    None required.

106015

Error Message    %ASA-6-106015: Deny TCP (no connection) from IP_address/port to 
IP_address/port flags tcp_flags on interface interface_name.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance discarded a TCP packet that has no associated connection in the adaptive security appliance connection table. The adaptive security appliance looks for a SYN flag in the packet, which indicates a request to establish a new connection. If the SYN flag is not set, and there is no existing connection, the adaptive security appliance discards the packet.

Recommended Action    None required unless the adaptive security appliance receives a large volume of these invalid TCP packets. If this is the case, trace the packets to the source and determine the reason these packets were sent.

106016

Error Message    %ASA-2-106016: Deny IP spoof from (IP_address) to IP_address on 
interface interface_name.

Explanation    A packet arrived at the adaptive security appliance interface that has a destination IP address of 0.0.0.0 and a destination MAC address of the adaptive security appliance interface. In addition, this message is generated when the adaptive security appliance discarded a packet with an invalid source address, which may include one of the following or some other invalid address:

Loopback network (127.0.0.0)

Broadcast  (limited, net-directed, subnet-directed, and all-subnets-directed)

The destination host (land.c)

To further enhance spoof packet detection, use the icmp command to configure the adaptive security appliance to discard packets with source addresses belonging to the internal network, because the access-list command has been deprecated and is no longer guaranteed to work correctly.

Recommended Action    Determine if an external user is trying to compromise the protected network. Check for misconfigured clients.

106017

Error Message    %ASA-2-106017: Deny IP due to Land Attack from IP_address to IP_address

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance received a packet with the IP source address equal to the IP destination, and the destination port equal to the source port. This message indicates a spoofed packet that is designed to attack systems. This attack is referred to as a Land Attack.

Recommended Action    If this message persists, an attack may be in progress. The packet does not provide enough information to determine where the attack originates.

106018

Error Message    %ASA-2-106018: ICMP packet type ICMP_type denied by outbound list 
acl_ID src inside_address dest outside_address

Explanation    The outgoing ICMP packet with the specified ICMP from local host (inside_address) to the foreign host (outside_address) was denied by the outbound ACL list.

Recommended Action    None required.

106020

Error Message    %ASA-2-106020: Deny IP teardrop fragment (size = number, offset = 
number) from IP_address to IP_address

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance discarded an IP packet with a teardrop signature containing either a small offset or fragment overlapping. This is a hostile event that circumvents the adaptive security appliance or an Intrusion Detection System.

Recommended Action    Contact the remote peer administrator or escalate this issue according to your security policy.

106021

Error Message    %ASA-1-106021: Deny protocol reverse path check from source_address to 
dest_address on interface interface_name

Explanation    An attack is in progress. Someone is attempting to spoof an IP address on an inbound connection. Unicast RPF, also known as reverse route lookup, detected a packet that does not have a source address represented by a route and assumes that it is part of an attack on your adaptive security appliance.

This message appears when you have enabled Unicast RPF with the ip verify reverse-path command. This feature works on packets input to an interface; if it is configured on the outside, then the adaptive security appliance checks packets arriving from the outside.

The adaptive security appliance looks up a route based on the source_address. If an entry is not found and a route is not defined, then this message appears and the connection is dropped.

If there is a route, the adaptive security appliance checks which interface it corresponds to. If the packet arrived on another interface, it is either a spoof or there is an asymmetric routing environment that has more than one path to a destination. The adaptive security appliance does not support asymmetric routing.

If the adaptive security appliance is configured on an internal interface, it checks static route command statements or RIP, and if the source_address is not found, then an internal user is spoofing their address.

Recommended Action    Even though an attack is in progress, if this feature is enabled, no user action is required. The adaptive security appliance repels the attack.

106022

Error Message    %ASA-1-106022: Deny protocol connection spoof from source_address to 
dest_address on interface interface_name

Explanation    A packet matching a connection arrived on a different interface from the interface on which the connection began. In addition, the ip verify reverse-path command is not configured.

For example, if a user starts a connection on the inside interface, but the adaptive security appliance detects the same connection arriving on a perimeter interface, the adaptive security appliance has more than one path to a destination. This is known as asymmetric routing and is not supported on the adaptive security appliance.

An attacker also might be attempting to append packets from one connection to another as a way to break into the adaptive security appliance. In either case, the adaptive security appliance shows this message and drops the connection.

Recommended Action    Check that the routing is not asymmetric.

106023

Error Message    %ASA-4-106023: Deny protocol src 
[interface_name:source_address/source_port] [dst 
interface_name:dest_address/dest_port] [type {string}, code {code}] by 
access_group acl_ID [0x8ed66b60, 0xf8852875]

Explanation    A real IP packet was denied by the ACL. This message appears even if you do not have the log option enabled for an ACL. The IP address is the real IP address instead of the values that display through NAT.

Recommended Action    If messages persist from the same source address, a footprinting or port scanning attempt might be occurring. Contact the remote host administrator.

106024

Error Message    %ASA-2-106024: Access rules memory exhausted

Explanation    The access list compilation process has run out of memory. All configuration information that has been added since the last successful access list was removed from the adaptive security appliance, and the most recently compiled set of access lists will continue to be used.

Recommended Action    Access lists, AAA, ICMP, SSH, Telnet, and other rule types are stored and compiled as access list rule types. Remove some of these rule types so that others can be added.

106025, 106026

Error Message    %ASA-6-106025: Failed to determine the security context for the 
packet:sourceVlan:source_address dest_address source_port dest_port protocol
Error Message    %ASA-6-106026: Failed to determine the security context for the 
packet:sourceVlan:source_address dest_address source_port dest_port protocol

Explanation    The security context of the packet in multiple context mode cannot be determined. Both messages can be generated for IP packets being dropped in either router and transparent mode.

Recommended Action    None required.

106027

Error Message    %ASA-4-106027:Failed to determine the security context for the 
packet:vlansource Vlan#:ethertype src sourceMAC dst destMAC 

Explanation    The security context of the packet in multiple context mode cannot be determined. This message is generated for non-IP packets being dropped in transparent mode only.

Recommended Action    None required.

106100

Error Message    %ASA-4-106100: access-list acl_ID {permitted | denied | est-allowed} 
protocol interface_name/source_address(source_port) - 
interface_name/dest_address(dest_port) hit-cnt number ({first hit | 
number-second interval}) hash codes

Explanation    The initial occurrence or the total number of occurrences during an interval are listed. This message provides more information than message 106023, which only logs denied packets, and does not include the hit count or a configurable level.

When an access-list line has the log argument, it is expected that this message ID might be triggered because of a nonsynchronized packet reaching the adaptive security appliance and being evaluated by the access list. For example, if an ACK packet is received on the adaptive security appliance (for which no TCP connection exists in the connection table), the adaptive security appliance might generate message 106100, indicating that the packet was permitted; however, the packet is later correctly dropped because of no matching connection.

The following list describes the message values:

permitted | denied | est-allowed—These values specify if the packet was permitted or denied by the ACL. If the value is est-allowed, the packet was denied by the ACL but was allowed for an already established session (for example, an internal user is allowed to accesss the Internet, and responding packets that would normally be denied by the ACL are accepted).

protocol—TCP, UDP, ICMP, or an IP protocol number.

interface_name—The interface name for the source or destination of the logged flow. The VLAN interfaces are supported.

source_address—The source IP address of the logged flow. The IP address is the real IP address instead of the values that display through NAT.

dest_address—The destination IP address of the logged flow. The IP address is the real IP address instead of the values that display through NAT.

source_port—The source port of the logged flow (TCP or UDP). For ICMP, this field is 0.

dest_port—The destination port of the logged flow (TCP or UDP). For ICMP, this field is src_addr.

hit-cnt number—The number of times this flow was permitted or denied by this ACL entry in the configured time interval. The value is 1 when the adaptive security appliance generates the first message for this flow.

first hit—The first message generated for this flow.

number-second interval—The interval in which the hit count is accumulated. Set this interval using the access-list command with the interval option.

hash codes—Two are always printed for the object group ACE and the constituent regular ACE. Values are determined on which ACE that the packet hit. To display these hash codes, enter the show-access list command.

Recommended Action    None required.

106101

Error Message    %ASA-1-106101 The number of ACL log deny-flows has reached limit 
(number).

Explanation    If you configured the log option for an ACL deny statement (access-list id deny command), and a traffic flow matches the ACL statement, the adaptive security appliance caches the flow information. This message indicates that the number of matching flows that are cached on the adaptive security appliance exceeds the user-configured limit (using the access-list deny-flow-max command). This message might be generated as a result of a DoS attack.

number—The limit configured using the access-list deny-flow-max command

Error Message    %ASA-4-109027: [aaa protocol] Unable to decipher response message 
Server = server_IP_address, User = user

Explanation    The response from the AAA server cannot be validated. The configured server key is probably incorrect. This message may be displayed during transactions with RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. The server_IP_address is the IP address of the relevant AAA server. The user is the user name associated with the connection.

Recommended Action    Verify that the server key, configured using the aaa-server command, is correct.

109028

Error Message    %ASA-4-109028: aaa bypassed for same-security traffic from ingress_ 
interface:source_address/source_port to egress_interface:dest_address/dest_port

Explanation    AAA is being bypassed for same security traffic that matches a configured AAA rule. This can only occur when traffic passes between two interfaces that have the same configured security level, when the same security traffic is permitted, and if the AAA configuration uses the include or exclude syntax.

Recommended Action    None required.

109029

Error Message    %ASA-5-109029: Parsing downloaded ACL: string

Explanation    A syntax error occurred while parsing an access list that was downloaded from a RADIUS server during user authentication.

string—An error message detailing the syntax error that prevented the access list from parsing correctly

Recommended Action    Use the information presented in this message to identify and correct the syntax error in the access list definition within the RADIUS server configuration.

109030

Error Message    %ASA-4-109030: Autodetect ACL convert wildcard did not convert ACL 
access_list source|dest netmask netmask.

Explanation    A dynamic ACL that is configured on a RADIUS server is not converted by the mechanism for automatically detecting wildcard netmasks. The problem occurs because this mechanism cannot determine if the netmask is a wildcard or a normal netmask.

access_list—The access list that cannot be converted

source—The source IP address

dest—The destination IP address

netmask—The subnet mask for the destination or source address in dotted-decimal notation

Recommended Action    Check the access list netmask on the RADIUS server for the wildcard configuration. If the netmask is supposed to be a wildcard, and if all access list netmasks on that server are wildcards, then use the wildcard setting for acl-netmask-convert for the AAA server. Otherwise, change the netmask to a normal netmask or to a wildcard netmask that does not contain holes (that is, where the netmask presents consecutive binary 1s. For example, 00000000.00000000.00011111.11111111 or hex 0.0.31.255). If the mask is supposed to be normal and all access list netmasks on that server are normal, then use the normal setting for acl-netmask-convert for the AAA server.

109031

Error Message    %ASA-4-109031: NT Domain Authentication Failed: rejecting guest login 
for username. 

Explanation    A user has tried to authenticate to an NT domain that was configured for guest account access and the username is not a valid username on the NT server. The connection is denied.

Recommended Action    If the user is a valid user, add an account to the NT server. If the user is not allowed access, no action is required.

109032

Error Message    %ASA-3-109032: Unable to install ACL access_list, downloaded for user 
username; Error in ACE: ace.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance received an access control list from a RADIUS server to apply to a user connection, but an entry in the list contains a syntax error. The use of a list containing an error could result in the violation of a security policy, so the adaptive security appliance failed to authenticate the user.

access_list—The name assigned to the dynamic access list as it would appear in the output of the show access-list command

username—The name of the user whose connection will be subject to this access list

ace—The access list entry that was being processed when the error was detected

Recommended Action    Correct the access list definition in the RADIUS server configuration.

109033

Error Message    %ASA-4-109033: Authentication failed for admin user user from src_IP. 
Interactive challenge processing is not supported for protocol connections

Explanation    AAA challenge processing was triggered during authentication of an administrative connection, but the adaptive security appliance cannot initiate interactive challenge processing with the client application. When this occurs, the authentication attempt will be rejected and the connection denied.

user—The name of the user being authenticated

src_IP—The IP address of the client host

protocol—The client connection protocol (SSH v1 or administrative HTTP)

Recommended Action    Reconfigure AAA so that challenge processing does not occur for these connection types. This generally means to avoid authenticating these connection types to RSA SecurID servers or to any token-based AAA server via RADIUS.

109034

Error Message    %ASA-4-109034: Authentication failed for network user user from 
src_IP/port to dst_IP/port. Interactive challenge processing is not supported for 
protocol connections

Explanation    AAA challenge processing was triggered during authentication of a network connection, but the adaptive security appliance cannot initiate interactive challenge processing with the client application. When this occurs, the authentication attempt will be rejected and the connection denied.

user—The name of the user being authenticated

src_IP/port—The IP address and port of the client host

dst_IP/port—The IP address and port of the server to which the client is attempting to connect

protocol—The client connection protocol (for example, FTP)

Recommended Action    Reconfigure AAA so that challenge processing does not occur for these connection types. This generally means to avoid authenticating these connection types to RSA SecurID servers or to any token-based AAA server via RADIUS.

109035

Error Message    %ASA-3-109035: Exceeded maximum number (999) of DAP attribute 
instances for user = string.

Explanation    The Dynamic Access Policy supports multiple values of the same attribute received from an AAA server. If the AAA server should send a response containing more than 999 values for the same attribute, then the adaptive security appliance will treat this response message as being malformed and reject the authentication. This condition has only been seen in lab environments using specialized test tools. It is unlikely that the condition should occur in a real-world production network.

string—The username at login

Recommended Action    If this message is generated, it would be helpful to capture the authentication traffic between the adaptive security appliance and AAA server using a protocol sniffer (such as WireShark) and forward the trace file to Cisco Engineering for analysis.

Messages 201002 to 219002

This section includes messages from 201002 to 219002.

201002

Error Message    %ASA-3-201002: Too many TCP connections on {static|xlate} 
global_address! econns nconns

Explanation    The maximum number of TCP connections to the specified global address was exceeded.

econns—The maximum number of embryonic connections

nconns—The maximum number of connections permitted for the static or xlate global address

Recommended Action    Use the show static or show nat command to check the limit imposed on connections to a static address. The limit is configurable.

201003

Error Message    %ASA-2-201003: Embryonic limit exceeded nconns/elimit for 
outside_address/outside_port (global_address) inside_address/inside_port on 
interface interface_name

Explanation    The number of embryonic connections from the specified foreign address with the specified static global address to the specified local address exceeds the embryonic limit. When the limit on embryonic connections to the adaptive security appliance is reached, the adaptive security appliance attempts to accept them anyway, but puts a time limit on the connections. This situation allows some connections to succeed even if the adaptive security appliance is very busy. This message indicates a more serious overload than message 201002, which can be caused by a SYN attack, or by a very heavy load of legitimate traffic.

nconns—The maximum number of embryonic connections received

elimit—The maximum number of embryonic connections specified in the static or nat command

Recommended Action    Use the show static command to check the limit imposed on embryonic connections to a static address.

201004

Error Message    %ASA-3-201004: Too many UDP connections on {static|xlate} 
global_address!udp connections limit

Explanation    The maximum number of UDP connections to the specified global address was exceeded.

udp conn limit—The maximum number of UDP connections permitted for the static address or translation

Recommended Action    Use the show static or show nat command to check the limit imposed on connections to a static address. You can configure the limit.

201005

Error Message    %ASA-3-201005: FTP data connection failed for IP_address IP_address

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance cannot allocate a structure to track the data connection for FTP because of insufficient memory.

Recommended Action    Reduce the amount of memory usage or purchase additional memory.

201006

Error Message    %ASA-3-201006: RCMD backconnection failed for IP_address/port.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance cannot preallocate connections for inbound standard output for rsh commands because of insufficient memory.

Recommended Action    Check the rsh client version; the adaptive security appliance only supports the Berkeley rsh client version. You can also reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory.

201008

Error Message    %ASA-3-201008: Disallowing new connections.

Explanation    You have enabled TCP system log messaging and the syslog server cannot be reached, or when using the adaptive security appliance syslog server (PFSS) and the disk on the Windows NT system is full, or when the auto-update timeout is configured and the auto-update server is not reachable.

Recommended Action    Disable TCP syslog messaging. If using PFSS, free up space on the Windows NT system where PFSS resides. Also, make sure that the syslog server is up and you can ping the host from the adaptive security appliance console. Then restart TCP system message logging to allow traffic. If the Auto Update Server has not been contacted for a certain period of time, enter the [no] auto-update timeout period command to have it stop sending packets.

201009

Error Message    %ASA-3-201009: TCP connection limit of number for host IP_address on 
interface_name exceeded

Explanation    The maximum number of connections to the specified static address was exceeded.

number—The maximum of connections permitted for the host

IP_address—The host IP address

interface_name—The name of the interface to which the host is connected

Recommended Action    Use the show static and show nat commands to check the limit imposed on connections to an address. The limit is configurable.

201010

Error Message    %ASA-3-201010: Embryonic connection limit exceeded econns/limit for 
dir packet from source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port on interface 
interface_name

Explanation    An attempt to establish a TCP connection failed because of an exceeded embryonic connection limit, which was configured with the set connection embryonic-conn-max MPC command for a traffic class.

econns—The current count of embryonic connections associated to the configured traffic class

limit—The configured embryonic connection limit for the traffic class

dir—input: The first packet that initiates the connection is an input packet on the interface interface_name output: The first packet that initiates the connection is an output packet on the interface interface_name

source_address/source_port—The source real IP address and the source port of the packet initiating the connection

dest_address/dest_port—The destination real IP address and the destination port of the packet initiating the connection

interface_name—The name of the interface on which the policy limit is enforced

Recommended Action    None required.

201011

Error Message    %ASA-3-201011: Connection limit exceeded cnt/limit for dir packet from 
sip/sport to dip/dport on interface if_name.

Explanation    A new connection through the adaptive security appliance resulted in exceeding at least one of the configured maximum connection limits. This message applies both to connection limits configured using a static command, or to those configured using Cisco Modular Policy Framework. The new connection will not be allowed through the adaptive security appliance until one of the existing connections is torn down, which brings the current connection count below the configured maximum.

cnt—Current connection count

limit—Configured connection limit

dir—Direction of traffic, inbound or outbound

sip—Source real IP address

sport—Source port

dip—Destination real IP address

dport—Destination port

if_name—Name of the interface on which the traffic was received

Recommended Action    None required.

201012

Error Message    %ASA-6-201012: Per-client embryonic connection limit exceeded curr 
num/limit for [input|output] packet from IP_address/ port to ip/port on interface 
interface_name

Explanation    An attempt to establish a TCP connection failed because the per-client embryonic connection limit was exceeded. By default, this message is rate limited to 1 message every 10 seconds.

curr num—The current number

limit—The configured limit

[input|output]—Input or output packet on interface interface_name

IP_address—Real IP address

port—TCP or UDP port

interface_name—The name of the interface on which the policy is applied

Recommended Action    When the limit is reached, any new connection request will be proxied by the adaptive security appliance to prevent a SYN flood attack. The adaptive security appliance will only connect to the server if the client is able to finish the three-way handshake. This usually does not affect the end user or the application. However, if this creates a problem for any application that has a legitimate need for a higher number of embryonic connections, you can adjust the setting by entering the set connection per-client-embryonic-max command.

201013

Error Message    %ASA-3-201013: Per-client connection limit exceeded curr num/limit for 
[input|output] packet from ip/port to ip/port on interface interface_name

Explanation    A connection was rejected because the per-client connection limit was exceeded.

curr num—The current number

limit—The configured limit

[input|output]—The input or output packet on interface interface_name

ip—The real IP address

port—The TCP or UDP port

interface_name—The name of the interface on which the policy is applied

Recommended Action    When the limit is reached, any new connection request will be silently dropped. Normally an application will retry the connection, which will cause a delay or even a timeout if all retries also fail. If an application has a legitimate need for a higher number of concurrent connections, you can adjust the setting by entering the set connection per-client-max command.

202001

Error Message    %ASA-3-202001: Out of address translation slots!

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance has no more address translation slots available.

Recommended Action    Check the size of the global pool compared to the number of inside network clients. A PAT address may be necessary. Alternatively, shorten the timeout interval of translates and connections. This error message can also be caused by insufficient memory; reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory, if possible.

202005

Error Message    %ASA-3-202005: Non-embryonic in embryonic list 
outside_address/outside_port inside_address/inside_port

Explanation    A connection object (xlate) is in the wrong list.

Recommended Action    Contact the Cisco TAC.

202011

Error Message    %ASA-3-202011: Connection limit exceeded econns/limit for dir packet 
from source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port on interface 
interface_name

Explanation    An attempt to create a TCP or UDP connection failed because of an exceeded connection limit, which is configured with the set connection conn-max MPC command for a traffic class.

econns—The current count of embryonic connections associated to the configured traffic class

limit—The configured embryonic connection limit for the traffic class

dir—input: The first packet that initiates the connection is an input packet on the interface interface_name. output: The first packet that initiates the connection is an output packet on the interface interface_name.

dest_address/dest_port—The destination IP address and the destination port of the packet initiating the connection

interface_name—The name of the interface on which the policy limit is enforced

Recommended Action    None required.

208005

Error Message    %ASA-3-208005: (function:line_num) clear command return code

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance received a nonzero value (an internal error) when attempting to clear the configuration in flash memory. The message includes the reporting subroutine filename and line number.

Recommended Action    For performance reasons, the end host should be configured not to inject IP fragments. This configuration change is probably because of NFS. Set the read and write size equal to the interface MTU for NFS.

209003

Error Message    %ASA-4-209003: Fragment database limit of number exceeded: src = 
source_address, dest = dest_address, proto = protocol, id = number

Explanation    Too many IP fragments are currently awaiting reassembly. By default, the maximum number of fragments is 200 (to raise the maximum, see the fragment size command in the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Command Reference). The adaptive security appliance limits the number of IP fragments that can be concurrently reassembled. This restriction prevents memory depletion at the adaptive security appliance under abnormal network conditions. In general, fragmented traffic should be a small percentage of the total traffic mix. An exception is in a network environment with NFS over UDP where a large percentage is fragmented traffic; if this type of traffic is relayed through the adaptive security appliance, consider using NFS over TCP instead. To prevent fragmentation, see the sysopt connection tcpmss bytes command in the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Command Reference.

Recommended Action    If this message persists, a denial of service (DoS) attack might be in progress. Contact the remote peer administrator or upstream provider.

209004

Error Message    %ASA-4-209004: Invalid IP fragment, size = bytes exceeds maximum 
size = bytes: src = source_address, dest = dest_address, proto = protocol, id = 
number

Explanation    An IP fragment is malformed. The total size of the reassembled IP packet exceeds the maximum possible size of 65,535 bytes.

Recommended Action    A possible intrusion event may be in progress. If this message persists, contact the remote peer administrator or upstream provider.

209005

Error Message    %ASA-4-209005: Discard IP fragment set with more than number elements: 
src = Too many elements are in a fragment set. 

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance disallows any IP packet that is fragmented into more than 24 fragments. For more information, see the fragment command in the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Command Reference.

Recommended Action    A possible intrusion event may be in progress. If the message persists, contact the remote peer administrator or upstream provider. You can change the number of fragments per packet by using the fragment chain xxx interface_name command.

210001

Error Message    %ASA-3-210001: LU sw_module_name error = number

Explanation    A Stateful Failover error occurred.

Recommended Action    If this error persists after traffic lessens through the adaptive security appliance, report this error to the Cisco TAC.

210002

Error Message    %ASA-3-210002: LU allocate block (bytes) failed.

Explanation    Stateful Failover cannot allocate a block of memory to transmit stateful information to the standby adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    Check the failover interface using the show interface command to make sure its transmit is normal. Also check the current block memory using the show block command. If current available count is 0 within any of the blocks of memory, then reload the adaptive security appliance software to recover the lost blocks of memory.

210003

Error Message    %ASA-3-210003: Unknown LU Object number

Explanation    Stateful Failover received an unsupported Logical Update object and was unable to process it. This can be caused by corrupted memory, LAN transmissions, and other events.

Recommended Action    If you see this error infrequently, then no action is required. If this error occurs frequently, check the Stateful Failover link LAN connection. If the error was not caused by a faulty failover link LAN connection, determine if an external user is trying to compromise the protected network. Also check for misconfigured clients.

210005

Error Message    %ASA-3-210005: LU allocate connection failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover cannot allocate a new connection on the standby unit. This may be caused by little or no RAM memory available within the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    Check the available memory using the show memory command to make sure that the adaptive security appliance has free memory. If there is no available memory, add more physical memory to the adaptive security appliance.

210006

Error Message    %ASA-3-210006: LU look NAT for IP_address failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover was unable to locate a NAT group for the IP address on the standby unit. The active and standby adaptive security appliances may be out-of-sync with each other.

Recommended Action    Use the write standby command on the active unit to synchronize system memory with the standby unit.

210007

Error Message    %ASA-3-210007: LU allocate xlate failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover failed to allocate a translation slot record.

Recommended Action    Check the available memory by using the show memory command to make sure that the adaptive security appliance has free memory available. If no memory is available, add more memory.

210008

Error Message    %ASA-3-210008: LU no xlate for inside_address/inside_port 
outside_address/outside_port

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance cannot find a translation slot record for a Stateful Failover connection; as a result, the adaptive security appliance cannot process the connection information.

Recommended Action    Use the write standby command on the active unit to synchronize system memory between the active and standby units.

210010

Error Message    %ASA-3-210010: LU make UDP connection for outside_address:outside_port 
inside_address:inside_port failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover was unable to allocate a new record for a UDP connection.

Recommended Action    Check the available memory by using the show memory command to make sure that the adaptive security appliance has free memory available. If no memory is available, add more memory.

210011

Error Message    %ASA-3-210011: Connection limit exceeded cnt/limit for dir packet from 
sip/sport to dip/dport on interface if_name.

Explanation    Establishing a new connection through the adaptive security appliance has resulted in exceeding at least one of the configured maximum connection limits. The message applies both for connection limits configured using a static command, or to those configured using Cisco Modular Policy Framework. The new connection will not be allowed through the adaptive security appliance until one of the existing connections is torn down, which brings the current connection count below the configured maximum. Because connection limits are configured for a good reason, this message may indicate a possible DOS attack, in which case the source of the traffic may be a spoofed IP address.

cnt—Current connection count

limit—Configured connection limit

dir—Direction of traffic, inbound or outbound

sip—Source IP address

sport—Source port

dip—Destination IP address

dport—Destination port

if_name—Name of the interface on which the traffic unit was received, either Primary or Secondary

Recommended Action    If the source IP address is not totally random, identifying the source and blocking it using an access list might help. In other cases, getting sniffer traces and analyzing the source of the traffic helps to isolate unwanted traffic from legitimate traffic.

212005

Error Message    %ASA-3-212005: incoming SNMP request (number bytes) on interface 
interface_name exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP request.

Explanation    The length of the incoming SNMP request that is destined for the adaptive security appliance exceeds the size of the internal data buffer (512 bytes) used for storing the request during internal processing. The adaptive security appliance is unable to process this request. The SNMP traffic passing through the adaptive security appliance on any interface is not affected.

Recommended Action    Have the SNMP management station resend the request with a shorter length. For example, instead of querying multiple MIB variables in one request, try querying only one MIB variable in a request. You may need to modify the configuration of the SNMP manager software.

212006

Error Message    %ASA-3-212006: Dropping SNMP request from src_addr/src_port to 
ifc:dst_addr/dst_port because: reason username

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance cannot process the SNMP request being sent to it for the following reasons:

user not found—The username cannot be located in the local SNMP user database.

username exceeds maximum length—The username embedded in the PDU exceeds the maximum length allowed by the SNMP RFCs.

authentication algorithm failure—An authentication failure caused by an invalid password or a packet authenticated using the incorrect algorithm.

privacy algorithm failure—A privacy failure caused by an invalid password or a packet encrypted using the incorrect algorithm.

error decrypting request—An error occurred in the platform crypto module decrypting the user request.

error encrypting response—An error occurred in the platform crypto module encrypting the user response or trap notification.

engineBoots has reached maximum value—The engineBoots variable has reached the maximum allowed value. For more information, see message 212011.


Note The username appears after each reason listed.


Recommended Action    Check the adaptive security appliance SNMP server settings and confirm that the NMS configuration is using the expected user, authentication, and encryption settings. Enter the show crypto accelerator statistics command to isolate errors in the platform crypto module.

212009

Error Message    %ASA-5-212009: Configuration request for SNMP group groupname failed. 
User username, reason.

Explanation    A user has tried to change the SNMP server group configuration. One or more users that refer to the group have insufficient settings to comply with the requested group changes.

groupname—A string that represents the group name

username—A string that represents the username

reason—A string that represents one of the following reasons:

- missing auth-password—A user has tried to add authentication to the group, and the user has not specified an authentication password

- missing priv-password—A user has tried to add privacy to the group, and the user has not specified an encryption password

- reference group intended for removal—A user has tried to remove a group that has users belonging to it

Recommended Action    The user must update the indicated user configurations before changing the group or removing indicated users, and then add them again after making changes to the group.

212010

Error Message    %ASA-3-212010: Configuration request for SNMP user %s failed. Host %s 
reason. 

Explanation    A user has tried to change the SNMP server user configuration by removing one or more hosts that reference the user. One message is generated per host.

%s—A string that represents the username or hostname

reason—A string the represents the following reason:

- references user intended for removal—The name of the user to be removed from the host.

Recommended Action    The user must either update the indicated host configuration before changing a user or remove the indicated hosts, then add them again after making changes to the user.

212011

Error Message    %ASA-3-212011: SNMP engineBoots is set to maximum value. Reason: %s 
User intervention necessary.

For example:

%ASA-3-212011: SNMP engineBoots is set to maximum value. Reason: error accessing 
persistent data. User intervention necessary.

Explanation    The device has rebooted 214783647 times, which is the maximum allowed value of the engineBoots variable, or an error reading the persistent value from flash memory has occurred. The engineBoots value is stored in flash memory in the flash:/snmp/ctx-name file, where ctx-name is the name of the context. In single mode, the name of this file is flash:/snmp/single_vf. In multi-mode, the name of the file for the admin context is flash:/snmp/admin. During a reboot, if the device is unable to read from the file or write to the file, the engineBoots value is set to the maximum.

%s—A string that represents the reason that the engineBoots value is set to the maximum allowed value. The two valid strings are "device reboots" and "error accessing persistent data."

Recommended Action    For the first string, the administrator must delete all SNMP Version 3 users and add them again to reset the engineBoots variable to 1. All subsequent Version 3 queries will fail until all users have been removed. For the second string, the administrator must delete the context-specific file, then delete all SNMP Version users, and add them again to reset the engineBoots variable to 1. All subsequent Version 3 queries will fail until all users have been removed.

212012

Error Message    %ASA-3-212012: Unable to write SNMP engine data to persistent storage.

Explanation    The SNMP engine data is written to the file, flash:/snmp/context-name. For example: in single mode, the data is written to the file, flash:/snmp/single_vf. In the admin context in multi-mode, the file is written to the directory, flash:/snmp/admin. The error may be caused by a failure to create the flash:/snmp directory or the flash:/snmp/context-name file. The error may also be caused by a failure to write to the file.

Recommended Action    The system administrator should remove the flash:/snmp/context-name file, then remove all SNMP Version 3 users, and add them again. This procedure should recreate the flash:/snmp/context-name file. If the problem persists, the system administrator should try reformatting the flash.

213001

Error Message    %ASA-3-213001: PPTP control daemon socket io string, errno = number.

Explanation    An internal TCP socket I/O error occurred.

213005

Error Message    %ASA-3-213005%: Dynamic-Access-Policy action (DAP) action aborted

Explanation    The DAP is dynamically created by selecting configured access policies based on the authorization rights of the user and the posture assessment results of the remote endpoint device. The resulting dynamic policy indicates that the session should be terminated.

Recommended Action    None required.

213006

Error Message    %ASA-3-213006%: Unable to read dynamic access policy record.

Explanation    There was either an error in retrieving the DAP policy record data, or the action configuration was missing.

Recommended Action    A configuration change might have resulted in deleting a DAP record. Use ASDM to recreate the DAP record.

214001

Error Message    %ASA-2-214001: Terminating manager session from IP_address on 
interface interface_name. Reason: incoming encrypted data (number bytes) longer 
than number bytes

Explanation    An incoming encrypted data packet destined for the adaptive security appliance management port indicates a packet length exceeding the specified upper limit. This may be a hostile event. The adaptive security appliance immediately terminates this management connection.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the management connection was initiated by Cisco Secure Policy Manager.

215001

Error Message    %ASA-2-215001:Bad route_compress() call, sdb = number

Explanation    An internal software error occurred.

216001

Error Message    %ASA-n-216001: internal error in: function: message 

Explanation    Various internal errors have occurred that should not appear during normal operation. The severity level varies depending on the cause of the message.

n—The message severity

function—The affected component

message—A message describing the cause of the problem

Recommended Action    Search the Bug Toolkit for the specific text message and try to use the Output Interpreter to resolve the problem. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

216002

Error Message    ASA-3-216002: Unexpected event (major: major_id, minor: minor_id) 
received by task_string in function at line: line_num 

Explanation    A task registers for event notification, but the task cannot handle the specific event. Events that can be watched include those associated with queues, booleans, and timer services. If any of the registered events occur, the scheduler wakes up the task to process the event. This message is generated if an unexpected event woke up the task, but it does not know how to handle the event.

If an event is left unprocessed, it can wake up the task very often to make sure that it is processed, but this should not occur under normal conditions. If this message appears, it does not necessarily mean the device is unusable, but something unusual has occurred and needs to be investigated.

major_id—Event identifier

minor_id— Event identifier

task_string—Custom string passed by the task to identify itself

function—The function that received the unexpected event

line_num —Line number in the code

Recommended Action    If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

216003

Error Message    %ASA-3-216003: Unrecognized timer timer_ptr, timer_id received by 
task_string in function at line: line_num 

Explanation    An unexpected timer event woke up the task, but the task does not know how to handle the event. A task can register a set of timer services with the scheduler. If any of the timers expire, the scheduler wakes up the task to take action. This message is generated if the task is awakened by an unrecognized timer event.

An expired timer, if left unprocessed, wakes up the task continuously to make sure that it is processed, and this is undesirable. This should not occur under normal conditions. If this message appears, it does not necessarily mean the device is unusable, but something unusual has occurred and needs to be investigated.

timer_ptr—Pointer to the timer

timer_id—Timer identifier

task_string—Custom string passed by the task to identify itself

function—The function that received the unexpected event

line_num—Line number in the code

Recommended Action    If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

216004

Error Message    %ASA-4-216004:prevented: error in function at file(line) - stack trace

error—Internal logic error. Possible errors include the following:

- Exception

- Dereferencing null pointer

- Array index out of bounds

- Invalid buffer size

- Writing from input

- Source and destination overlap

- Invalid date

- Access offset from array indices

function—The calling function that generated the error

file(line)—The file and line number that generated the error

stack trace—Full call stack traceback, starting with the calling function. For example: ("0x001010a4 0x00304e58 0x00670060 0x00130b04")

Recommended Action    If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

216005

Error Message    %ASA-1-216005: ERROR: Duplex-mismatch on interface_name resulted in

reason—The action that causes the connection to terminate. Set the reason variable to one of the TCP termination reasons listed in Table 1-3.

Table 1-3 TCP Termination Reasons 

Reason
Description

Conn-timeout

The connection ended when a flow is closed because of the expiration of its inactivity timer.

Deny Terminate

Flow was terminated by application inspection.

Failover primary closed

The standby unit in a failover pair deleted a connection because of a message received from the active unit.

FIN Timeout

Force termination after 10 minutes awaiting the last ACK or after half-closed timeout.

Flow closed by inspection

Flow was terminated by the inspection feature.

Flow terminated by IPS

Flow was terminated by IPS.

Flow reset by IPS

Flow was reset by IPS.

Flow terminated by TCP Intercept

Flow was terminated by TCP Intercept.

Flow timed out

Flow has timed out.

Flow timed out with reset

Flow has timed out, but was reset.

Flow is a loopback

Flow is a loopback.

Invalid SYN

The SYN packet was not valid.

Idle Timeout

The connection timed out because it was idle longer than the timeout value.

IPS fail-close

Flow was terminated because the IPS card is down.

Pinhole Timeout

The counter is incremented to report that the adaptive security appliance opened a secondary flow, but no packets passed through this flow within the timeout interval, and so it was removed. An example of a secondary flow is the FTP data channel that is created after successful negotiation on the FTP control channel.

Route change

When the adaptive security appliance adds a lower cost (better metric) route, packets arriving that match the new route cause their existing connection to be torn down after the user-configured timeout (floating-conn) value. Subsequent packets rebuild the connection out of the interface with the better metric. To prevent the addition of lower cost routes from affecting active flows, you can set the floating-conn configuration timeout value to 0:0:0.

SYN Control

A back channel initiation occurred from the wrong side.

SYN Timeout

Force termination after 30 seconds, awaiting three-way handshake completion.

TCP bad retransmission

The connection was terminated because of a bad TCP retransmission.

TCP FINs

A normal close-down sequence occurred. An IP address follows the reason.

TCP Invalid SYN

Invalid TCP SYN packet.

TCP Reset - APPLIANCE

The flow is closed when a TCP reset is generated by the adaptive security appliance.

TCP Reset - I

Reset was from the inside.

TCP Reset - O

Reset was from the outside.

TCP segment partial overlap

A partially overlapping segment was detected.

TCP unexpected window size variation

A connection was terminated due to variation in the TCP window size.

Tunnel has been torn down

Flow was terminated because the tunnel is down.

Unauth Deny

An authorization was denied by a URL filter.

Unknown

An unknown error has occurred.

Xlate Clear

A command line was removed.


Recommended Action    None required.

302015

305005

Error Message    %ASA-3-305005: No translation group found for protocol src 
interface_name: source_address/source_port dst interface_name: 
dest_address/dest_port

Explanation    A packet does not match any of the outbound nat command rules. If NAT is not configured for the specified source and destination systems, the message will be generated frequently.

Recommended Action    This message indicates a configuration error. If dynamic NAT is desired for the source host, ensure that the nat command matches the source IP address. If static NAT is desired for the source host, ensure that the local IP address of the static command matches. If no NAT is desired for the source host, check the ACL bound to the NAT 0 ACL.

305006

Error Message    %ASA-3-305006: {outbound static|identity|portmap|regular) translation 
creation failed for protocol src interface_name:source_address/source_port dst 
interface_name:dest_address/dest_port

Explanation    A protocol (UDP, TCP, or ICMP) failed to create a translation through the adaptive security appliance. The adaptive security appliance does not allow packets through that are destined for network or broadcast addresses. The adaptive security appliance provides this checking for addresses that are explicitly identified with static commands. For inbound traffic, the adaptive security appliance denies translations for an IP address identified as a network or broadcast address.

The adaptive security appliance does not apply PAT to all ICMP message types; it only applies PAT ICMP echo and echo-reply packets (types 8 and 0). Specifically, only ICMP echo or echo-reply packets create a PAT translation. As a result, when the other ICMP messages types are dropped, this message is generated.

The adaptive security appliance uses the global IP address and mask from configured static commands to differentiate regular IP addresses from network or broadcast IP addresses. If the global IP address is a valid network address with a matching network mask, then the adaptive security appliance does not create a translation for network or broadcast IP addresses with inbound packets.

For example:

static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.1.1.128 netmask 255.255.255.128

The adaptive security appliance responds to global address 10.2.2.128 as a network address and to 10.2.2.255 as the broadcast address. Without an existing translation, the adaptive security appliance denies inbound packets destined for 10.2.2.128 or 10.2.2.255, and logs this message.

When the suspected IP address is a host IP address, configure a separate static command with a host mask in front of the subnet static command (the first match rule for static commands). The following static commands cause the adaptive security appliance to respond to 10.2.2.128 as a host address:

static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.2.2.128 netmask 255.255.255.255 
static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.2.2.128 netmask 255.255.255.128

The translation may be created by traffic started from the inside host with the IP address in question. Because the adaptive security appliance views a network or broadcast IP address as a host IP address with an overlapped subnet static configuration, the network address translation for both static commands must be the same.

Recommended Action    None required.

305007

Error Message    %ASA-6-305007: addrpool_free(): Orphan IP IP_address on interface 
interface_number

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance has attempted to translate an address that it cannot find in any of its global pools. The adaptive security appliance assumes that the address was deleted and drops the request.

Recommended Action    None required.

305008

Error Message    %ASA-3-305008: Free unallocated global IP address.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance kernel detected an inconsistency condition when trying to free an unallocated global IP address back to the address pool. This abnormal condition may occur if the adaptive security appliance is running a Stateful Failover setup, and some of the internal states are momentarily out of sync between the active unit and the standby unit. This condition is not catastrophic, and the synchronization recovers automatically.

Recommended Action    If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

305009

Error Message    %ASA-6-305009: Built {dynamic|static} translation from interface_name 
[(acl-name)]:real_address to interface_name:mapped_address

Explanation    An address translation slot was created. The slot translates the source address from the local side to the global side. In reverse, the slot translates the destination address from the global side to the local side.

Recommended Action    None required.

305010

Error Message    %ASA-6-305010: Teardown {dynamic|static} translation from 
interface_name:real_address to interface_name:mapped_address duration time

Explanation    The address translation slot was deleted.

Recommended Action    None required.

305011

Error Message    %ASA-6-305011: Built {dynamic|static} {TCP|UDP|ICMP} translation from 
interface_name:real_address/real_port to 
interface_name:mapped_address/mapped_port

Explanation    A TCP, UDP, or ICMP address translation slot was created. The slot translates the source socket from the local side to the global side. In reverse, the slot translates the destination socket from the global side to the local side.

Recommended Action    None required.

305012

Error Message    %ASA-6-305012: Teardown {dynamic|static} {TCP|UDP|ICMP} translation 
from interface_name [(acl-name)]:real_address/{real_port|real_ICMP_ID}to 
interface_name:mapped_address/{mapped_port|mapped_ICMP_ID} duration time

Explanation    The address translation slot was deleted.

Recommended Action    None required.

305013

Error Message    %ASA-5-305013: Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse 
flows; Connection protocol src interface_name:source_address/source_port dst 
interface_name:dest_address/dst_port denied due to NAT reverse path failure.

Explanation    An attempt to connect to a mapped host using its actual address was rejected.

Recommended Action    When not on the same interface as the host using NAT, use the mapped address instead of the actual address to connect to the host. In addition, enable the inspect command if the application embeds the IP address.

308001

Error Message    %ASA-6-308001: console enable password incorrect for number tries 
(from IP_address)

Explanation    This is a adaptive security appliance management message. This message appears after the specified number of times a user incorrectly types the password to enter privileged mode. The maximum is three attempts.

Recommended Action    Verify the password and try again.

308002

Error Message    %ASA-4-308002: static global_address inside_address netmask netmask 
overlapped with global_address inside_address

Explanation    The IP addresses in one or more static command statements overlap. global_address is the global address, which is the address on the lower security interface, and inside_address is the local address, which is the address on the higher security-level interface.

Recommended Action    Use the show static command to view the static command statements in your configuration and fix the commands that overlap. The most common overlap occurs if you specify a network address such as 10.1.1.0, and in another static command you specify a host within that range, such as 10.1.1.5.

311001

Error Message    %ASA-6-311001: LU loading standby start

Explanation    Stateful Failover update information was sent to the standby adaptive security appliance when the standby adaptive security appliance is first to be online.

312001

Error Message    %ASA-6-312001: RIP hdr failed from IP_address: cmd=string, 
version=number domain=string on interface interface_name

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance received a RIP message with an operation code other than reply, the message has a version number different from what is expected on this interface, and the routing domain entry was nonzero. Another RIP device may not be configured correctly to communicate with the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    None required.

313001

Error Message    %ASA-3-313001: Denied ICMP type=number, code=code from IP_address on 
interface interface_name

Explanation    When using the icmp command with an access list, if the first matched entry is a permit entry, the ICMP packet continues processing. If the first matched entry is a deny entry, or an entry is not matched, the adaptive security appliance discards the ICMP packet and generates this message. The icmp command enables or disables pinging to an interface. With pinging disabled, the adaptive security appliance cannot be detected on the network. This feature is also referred to as configurable proxy pinging.

Recommended Action    Contact the administrator of the peer device.

313004

Error Message    %ASA-4-313004:Denied ICMP type=icmp_type, from source_address on 
interface interface_name to dest_address:no matching session

Explanation    ICMP packets were dropped by the adaptive security appliance because of security checks added by the stateful ICMP feature that are usually either ICMP echo replies without a valid echo request already passed across the adaptive security appliance or ICMP error messages not related to any TCP, UDP, or ICMP session already established in the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    None required.

313005

Error Message    %ASA-4-313005: No matching connection for ICMP error message: 
icmp_msg_info on interface_name interface. Original IP payload: 
embedded_frame_info icmp_msg_info = icmp src src_interface_name:src_address dst 
dest_interface_name:dest_address (type icmp_type, code icmp_code) 
embedded_frame_info = prot src source_address/source_port dst 
dest_address/dest_port

Explanation    ICMP error packets were dropped by the adaptive security appliance because the ICMP error messages are not related to any session already established in the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    If the cause is an attack, you can deny the host by using ACLs.

313008

Error Message    %ASA-3-313008: Denied ICMPv6 type=number, code=code from IP_address on 
interface interface_name

Explanation    When using the icmp command with an access list, if the first matched entry is a permit entry, the ICMPv6 packet continues processing. If the first matched entry is a deny entry, or an entry is not matched, the adaptive security appliance discards the ICMPv6 packet and generates this message.

The icmp command enables or disables pinging to an interface. When pinging is disabled, the adaptive security appliance is undetectable on the network. This feature is also referred to as "configurable proxy pinging."

Recommended Action    Contact the administrator of the peer device.

313009

Error Message    %ASA-4-313009: Denied invalid ICMP code icmp-code, for 
src-ifc:src-address/src-port (mapped-src-address/mapped-src-port) to 
dest-ifc:dest-address/dest-port (mapped-dest-address/mapped-dest-port) [user], 
ICMP id icmp-id, ICMP type icmp-type

Explanation    An ICMP echo request/reply packet was received with a malformed code(non-zero).

Recommended Action    If it is an intermittent event, no action is required. If the cause is an attack, you can deny the host using the ACLs.

src_intf—Source interface name

src_IP—Source interface IP address

dst_intf—Destination interface name

dst_IP—Destination IP address

dst_port—Destination port

reason_string—Pinhole already exists/Unknown

Recommended Action    If the reason is unknown, check the free memory available by running the show memory command, or the number of connections used by running the show conn command, because the adaptive security appliance is low on memory.

314003

Error Message    %ASA-6-314003: Dropped RTSP traffic from src_intf:src_ip due to: reason.

Explanation    The RTSP message violated the user-configured RTSP security policy, either because it contains a port from the reserve port range, or it contains a URL with a length greater than the maximum limit allowed.

src_intf—Source interface name

src_IP—Source interface IP address

reason—The reasons may be one of the following:

- Endpoint negotiating media ports in the reserved port range from 0 to 1024

- URL length of url length bytes exceeds the maximum url length limit bytes

Recommended Action    Investigate why the RTSP client sends messages that violate the security policy. If the requested URL is legitimate, you can relax the policy by specifying a longer URL length limit in the RTSP policy map.

314004

Recommended Action    None required.

314006

Error Message    %ASA-6-314006: RTSP client src_intf:src_IP exceeds configured rate 
limit of rate for request_method messages.

Explanation    A specific RTSP request message exceeded the configured rate limit of RTSP policy.

src_intf—Source interface name

src_IP—Source interface IP address

rate—Configured rate limit

request_method—Type of request message

Recommended Action    Investigate why the specific RTSP request message from the client exceeded the rate limit.

315004

Error Message    %ASA-3-315004: Fail to establish SSH session because RSA host key 
retrieval failed.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance cannot find the RSA host key, which is required for establishing an SSH session. The adaptive security appliance host key may be absent because it was not generated or because the license for this adaptive security appliance does not allow DES or 3DES encryption.

Recommended Action    From the adaptive security appliance console, enter the show crypto key mypubkey rsa command to verify that the RSA host key is present. If the host key is not present, enter the show version command to verify that DES or 3DES is allowed. If an RSA host key is present, restart the SSH session. To generate the RSA host key, enter the crypto key mypubkey rsa command.

324002

Error Message    %ASA-3-324002: No PDP[MCB] exists to process GTPv0 msg_type from 
source_interface:source_address/source_port to 
dest_interface:dest_address/dest_port, TID: tid_value

Explanation    If this message was preceded by message 321100, memory allocation error, the message indicates that there were not enough resources to create the PDP Context. If not, it was not preceded by message 321100. For version 0, it indicates that the corresponding PDP context cannot be found. For version 1, if this message was preceded by message 324001, then a packet processing error occurred, and the operation stopped.

Recommended Action    If the problem persists, determine why the source is sending packets without a valid PDP context.

324003

Error Message    %ASA-3-324003: No matching request to process GTPv version msg_type 
from source_interface:source_address/source_port to 
source_interface:dest_address/dest_port

Explanation    The response received does not have a matching request in the request queue and should not be processed further.

Recommended Action    If this message is seen periodically, it can be ignored. But if it is seen frequently, then the endpoint may be sending out bad packets as part of an attack.

324004

Error Message    %ASA-3-324004: GTP packet with version%d from 
source_interface:source_address/source_port to

339001

Error Message    %ASA-3-339001: UC-IME-SIG: Ticket not found in SIP %s from %s:%A/%d to 
%s:%A/%d, packet dropped 

Explanation    For UC-IME SIP signaling, all dialog-forming SIP messages received from the outside must include the X-Cisco-ViPR-Ticket header. If this header is missing from the message, the message will be dropped during SIP inspection. This header is only required when an existing SIP session (as determined by current SIP inspection rules) cannot be found for the message being inspected.

%s—SIP message name (INVITE or REFER)

%s—Source interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Source IP address

%d—Source port

%s—Destination interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Destination IP address

%d—Destination port

Recommended Action    Check to see if UC-IME calls are being spoofed.

339002

Error Message    %ASA-3-339002: UC-IME-SIG: Invalid ticket in SIP %s from %s:%A/%d to 
%s:%A/%d, packet dropped, %s

Explanation    When UC-IME ticket inspection and validation are performed, several data checks for timestamp validity and epoch matching, among others, are performed. If any of these checks fail, the SIP message or packet will be dropped.

%s—SIP message name (INVITE or REFER)

%s—Source interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Source IP address

%d—Source port

%s—Destination interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Destination IP address

%d—Destination port

%s—Additional description or data about the error condition

Recommended Action    Check to see if UC-IME calls are being spoofed. Turn on UC-IME debug tracing to obtain more details about the error condition.

339003

Error Message    %ASA-3-339003: UC-IME-SIG: Non-dialog forming SIP %s received from 
%s:%A/%d to %s:%A/%d, packet dropped

Explanation    When a SIP message is inspected by the UC-IME feature, checks are performed to see if the message belongs to an existing SIP session. In a non-UC-IME scenario, a SIP request received will create a SIP session (if permitted by a configured policy). However, for the UC-IME feature, nondialog-creating SIP messages are not permitted to create a SIP session in the adaptive security appliance and are dropped.

%s—SIP message name (INVITE or REFER)

%s—Source interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Source IP address

%d—Source port

%s—Destination interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Destination IP address

%d—Destination port

339004

Error Message    %ASA-3-339004: UC-IME-SIG: Dropping SIP %s received from %s:%A/%d to 
%s:%A/%d, route header validation failed, %s

Explanation    When an outbound SIP message is inspected by the UC-IME feature, the domain name included in the SIP route header is compared to the TLS certificate domain name. This comparison allows the UC-IME feature on the ASA to determine whether or not the SIP message is actually terminating at the intended enterprise. If a mismatch occurs, it implies that the remote end is not serving that domain, and the SIP session should be terminated.

%s—SIP message name (INVITE or REFER)

%s—Source interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Source IP address

%d—Source port

%s—Destination interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Destination IP address

%d—Destination port

%s—Additional description or data about the error condition (for example, the domain names received)

Recommended Action    Check to see if the remote enterprise is attempting to hijack UC-IME calls.

339005

Error Message    %ASA-3-339005: UC-IME-SIG: Message received from %s:%A/%d to %s:%A/%d 
does not contain SRTP, message dropped

Explanation    For UC-IME SIP signaling, SIP messages received that have media content from the outside need to be SRTP. If this content is not SRTP, the message will be dropped during SIP inspection.

%s—Source interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Source IP address

%d—Source port

%s—Destination interface name (inside or outside)

%A—Destination IP address

%d—Destination port

Recommended Action    None required.

Error Message    %ASA-3-339006: UC-IME-Offpath: Failed to map remote UCM address %A:%d 
on %s interface, request from local UCM %A:%d on %s interface, reason %s

Explanation    For the UC-IME mapping service to work correctly, a correct configuration of global NAT must be in place. If a misconfiguration is detected, a message will be generated to inform the administrator. At the same time, all requests from UCM clients must conform to the mapping service stun message format. All nonconforming requests will be dropped silently, and a message will be generated to notify the administrator about this occurrence.

%A—Remote UCM IP address

%d—Remote UCM port

%s—Interface for the remote UCM IP address or port address

%A—Local UCM IP address (used for the mapping service connection)

%d—Local UCM port (used for the mapping service connection)

%s—Interface for the local UCM IP address or port address

%s—Failure reason

Recommended Action    Check to see if the UC-IME Offpath and the UCM Offpath are configured correctly.

Error Message    %ASA-6-339007: UC-IME-Offpath: Mapped address %A:%d on %s interface 
for remote UCM %A:%d on %s interface, request from local UCM %A:%d on %s interface

Explanation    UC-IME mapping service calls are tracked based on the mapping service client (UCM) address (IP:port) and remote UCM address (IP:port). The administrator may use this information to help debug an offpath UC-IME call.

%A—Mapped IP address

%d—Mapped port

%s—Interface for the mapped IP address or port address

%A—Remote UCM IP address

%d—Remote UCM port

339009

Error Message    %ASA-6-339009: UC-IME: Ticket Password changed. Please update the same 
on UC-IME server.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance administrator is allowed to change the ticket password without knowing the old password. This message is generated to ensure that the administrator is aware of this change. The message also serves as a reminder to the administrator that if the UC-IME password is changed on the adaptive security appliance, it should also be changed on the UC-IME server for everything to function correctly.

Recommended Action    Verify that the ticket password has been changed on the UC-IME server to match the value configured on the adaptive security appliance.

Error Message    %ASA-4-401001: Shuns cleared

Explanation    The clear shun command was entered to remove existing shuns from memory. An institution to keep a record of shunning activity was allowed.

Recommended Action    None required.

401002

Error Message    %ASA-4-401002: Shun added: IP_address IP_address port port

Explanation    A shun command was entered, where the first IP address is the shunned host. The other addresses and ports are optional and are used to terminate the connection if available. An institution to keep a record of shunning activity was allowed.

Recommended Action    None required.

401003

Error Message    %ASA-4-401003: Shun deleted: IP_address

Explanation    A single shunned host was removed from the shun database. An institution to keep a record of shunning activity was allowed.

Recommended Action    None required.

401004

Error Message    %ASA-4-401004: Shunned packet: IP_address = IP_address on interface 
interface_name

Explanation    A packet was dropped because the host defined by IP SRC is a host in the shun database. A shunned host cannot pass traffic on the interface on which it is shunned. For example, an external host on the Internet can be shunned on the outside interface. A record of the activity of shunned hosts was provided. This message and message ASA-4-401005 can be used to evaluate further risk concerning this host.

Recommended Action    None required.

401005

Error Message    %ASA-4-401005: Shun add failed: unable to allocate resources for 
IP_address IP_address port port

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance is out of memory; a shun cannot be applied.

Recommended Action    The Cisco IPS should continue to attempt to apply this rule. Try to reclaim memory and reapply a shun manually, or wait for the Cisco IPS to do this.

402114

Error Message    %ASA-4-402114: IPSEC: Received an protocol packet (SPI=spi, sequence 
number=seq_num) from remote_IP to local_IP with an invalid SPI. 

protocol—IPsec protocol

spi—IPsec Security Parameter Index

seq_numIPsec sequence number

remote_IPIP address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel

username—Username associated with the IPsec tunnel

local_IPIP address of the local endpoint of the tunnel

Explanation    An IPsec packet was received that specifies an SPI that does not exist in the SA database. This may be a temporary condition caused by slight differences in aging of SAs between the IPsec peers, or it may be because the local SAs have been cleared. It may also indicate incorrect packets sent by the IPsec peer, which may be part of an attack. This message is rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.

Recommended Action    The peer may not acknowledge that the local SAs have been cleared. If a new connection is established from the local router, the two peers may then reestablish connection successfully. Otherwise, if the problem occurs for more than a brief period, either attempt to establish a new connection or contact the peer administrator.

402115

Error Message    %ASA-4-402115: IPSEC: Received a packet from remote_IP to local_IP 
containing act_prot data instead of exp_prot data.

Explanation    An IPsec packet was received that is missing the expected ESP header. The peer is sending packets that do not match the negotiated security policy, which may indicate an attack. This message is rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.

402116

Error Message    %ASA-4-402116: IPSEC: Received an protocol packet (SPI=spi, sequence 
number=seq_num) from remote_IP (username) to local_IP. The decapsulated inner 
packet doesn't match the negotiated policy in the SA. The packet specifies its 
destination as pkt_daddr, its source as pkt_saddr, and its protocol as pkt_prot. 
The SA specifies its local proxy as id_daddr/id_dmask/id_dprot/id_dport and its 
remote proxy as id_saddr/id_smask/id_sprot/id_sport.

Explanation    A decapsulated IPsec packet does not match the negotiated identity. The peer is sending other traffic through this security association, which may be caused by a security association selection error by the peer, or it may be part of an attack. This message is rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.

402117

Error Message    %ASA-4-402117: IPSEC: Received a non-IPsec (protocol) packet from 
remote_IP to local_IP.

Explanation    The received packet matched the crypto map ACL, but it is not IPsec-encapsulated. The IPsec peer is sending unencapsulated packets. This error can occur because of a policy setup error on the peer. For example, the firewall may be configured to only accept encrypted Telnet traffic to the outside interface port 23. If you attempt to use Telnet without IPsec encryption to access the outside interface on port 23, this message appears, but not with Telnet or traffic to the outside interface on ports other than 23. This error can also indicate an attack. This message is not generated except under these conditions (for example, it is not generated for traffic to the adaptive security appliance interfaces themselves). See messages 710001, 710002, and 710003, which track TCP and UDP requests. This message is rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.

Intf:interface_name AC:ac_name.

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance requested the PPPoE service any from the access controller at the Internet service provider. The response from the service provider includes other services, but does not include the service any. This is a discrepancy in the implementation of the protocol. The PADO packet is processed normally, and connection negotiations continue.

Recommended Action    None required.

403501

Error Message    %ASA-3-403501: PPPoE - Bad host-unique in PADO - packet dropped. 
Intf:interface_name AC:ac_name

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance sent an identifier called the host-unique value to the access controller. The access controller responded with a different host-unique value. The adaptive security appliance was unable to identify the corresponding connection request for this response. The packet was dropped, and connection negotiations were discontinued.

Recommended Action    Contact the Internet service provider. Either the access controller at the service provider is mishandling the host-unique value, or the PADO packet is being forged.

403502

Error Message    %ASA-3-403502: PPPoE - Bad host-unique in PADS - dropping packet. 
Intf:interface_name AC:ac_name

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance sent an identifier called the host-unique value to the access controller. The access controller responded with a different host-unique value. The adaptive security appliance was unable to identify the corresponding connection request for this response. The packet was dropped, and connection negotiations were discontinued.

Make sure that your authentication protocol matches the access concentrator and that your name and password are correct. Verify this information with your ISP or network support person.

403504

Error Message    %ASA-3-403504: PPPoE:No 'vpdn group group_name' for PPPoE is created

Explanation    PPPoE requires a dial-out configuration before starting a PPPoE session. In general, the configuration should specify a dialing policy, the PPP authentication, the username, and a password. The following example configures the adaptive security appliance for PPPoE dialout. The my-username and my-password commands are used to authenticate the access concentrator, using PAP if necessary.

For example:

hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe request dialout pppoe
hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe ppp authentication pap
hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe localname my-username
hostname# vpdn username my-username password my-password
hostname# ip address outside pppoe setroute

Recommended Action    Configure a VPDN group for PPPoE.

403505

Error Message    %ASA-4-403505: PPPoE:PPP - Unable to set default route to IP_address 
at interface_name

Explanation    This message is usually followed by the message, default route already exists.

Recommended Action    Remove the current default route or remove the setroute parameter so that there is no conflict between PPPoE and the manually configured route.

403506

Error Message    %ASA-4-403506: PPPoE:failed to assign PPP IP_address netmask netmask 
at interface_name

Explanation    This message is followed by one of the followings messages: subnet is the same as interface, or on failover channel.

Recommended Action    In the first case, change the address causing the conflict. In the second case, configure the PPPoE on an interface other than the failover interface.

403507

Error Message    %ASA-3-403507:PPPoE:PPPoE client on interface interface failed to 
locate PPPoE vpdn group group_name

Explanation    You can configure the PPPoE client on an interface to use a particular VPDN group by entering the pppoe client vpdn group group_name command. If a PPPoE VPDN group of the configured name was not located during system startup, this message is generated.

interface—The interface on which the PPPoE client failed

group_name —The VPDN group name of the PPPoe client on the interface

Recommended Action    Perform the following steps:

1. Add the required VPDN group by entering the vpdn group group_name command. Request dialout PPPoE in global configuration mode, and add all the group properties.

2. Remove the pppoe client vpdn group group_name command from the interface indicated. In this case, the PPPoE client will attempt to use the first PPPoE VPDN group defined.


Note All changes take effect only after the PPPoE client on the interface is restarted by entering the ip address pppoe command.


405001

Error Message    %ASA-4-405001: Received ARP {request | response} collision from 
IP_address/MAC_address on interface interface_name to IP_address/MAC_address on 
interface interface_name

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance received an ARP packet, and the MAC address in the packet differs from the ARP cache entry.

Error Message    %ASA-4-405101: Unable to Pre-allocate H225 Call Signalling Connection 
for foreign_address outside_address[/outside_port] to local_address 
inside_address[/inside_port]

Explanation    The module failed to allocate RAM system memory while starting a connection or has no more address translation slots available.

Recommended Action    If this message occurs periodically, it can be ignored. You can check the size of the global pool compared to the number of inside network clients. A PAT address may be necessary. Alternatively, shorten the timeout interval of translates and connections. This error message may also be caused by insufficient memory; try reducing the amount of memory usage, or purchasing additional memory. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

405002

Error Message    %ASA-4-405002: Received mac mismatch collision from 
IP_address/MAC_address for authenticated host

Explanation    This packet appears for one of the following conditions:

The adaptive security appliance received a packet with the same IP address, but a different MAC address from one of its uauth entries.

You configured the vpnclient mac-exempt command on the adaptive security appliance, and the adaptive security appliance received a packet with an exempt MAC address, but a different IP address from the corresponding uauth entry.

Recommended Action    This traffic might be legitimate, or it might indicate that a spoofing attack is in progress. Check the source MAC address and IP address to determine where the packets are coming from and if they belong to a valid host.

405101

Error Message    %ASA-4-405101: Unable to Pre-allocate H225 Call Signalling Connection 
for foreign_address outside_address[/outside_port] to local_address 
inside_address[/inside_port]

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance failed to allocate RAM system memory while starting a connection or has no more address translation slots available.

Recommended Action    Check the size of the global pool compared to the number of inside network clients. A PAT address may be necessary. Alternatively, shorten the timeout interval of translations and connections. Also, reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory. If this message occurs periodically, it can be ignored. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

405102

Error Message    %ASA-4-405102: Unable to Pre-allocate H245 Connection for 
foreign_address outside_address[/outside_port] to local_address 
inside_address[/inside_port]

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance failed to allocate RAM system memory while starting a connection or has no more address translation slots available.

Recommended Action    Check the size of the global pool compared to the number of inside network clients. A PAT address may be necessary. Alternatively, shorten the timeout interval of translations and connections. In addition, reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory. If this message occurs periodically, it can be ignored. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

405103

Error Message    %ASA-4-405103: H225 message from source_address/source_port to 
dest_address/dest_port contains bad protocol discriminator hex

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance is expecting the protocol discriminator, 0x08, but it received something other than 0x08. The endpoint may be sending a bad packet, or received a message segment other than the first segment. The packet is allowed through.

Recommended Action    None required.

405104

Error Message    %ASA-4-405104: H225 message received from outside_address/outside_port 
to inside_address/inside_port before SETUP

Explanation    An H.225 message was received out of order, before the initial SETUP message, which is not allowed. The adaptive security appliance must receive an initial SETUP message for that H.225 call signalling channel before accepting any other H.225 messages.

Recommended Action    None required.

405105

Error Message    %ASA-4-405105: H323 RAS message AdmissionConfirm received from 
source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port without an AdmissionRequest

Explanation    A gatekeeper has sent an ACF, but the adaptive security appliance did not send an ARQ to the gatekeeper.

Recommended Action    Check the gatekeeper with the specified source_address to determine why it sent an ACF without receiving an ARQ from the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    Check the host specified with the source_IP_address to determine why it sent an ILS packet with an incorrect embedded IP address.

405300

Error Message    %ASA-4-405300: Radius Accounting Request received from from_addr is 
not allowed

Explanation    The accounting request came from a host that was not configured in the policy map. The message is logged and processing stops.

from_addr—The IP address of the host sending the request

Recommended Action    If the host was configured to send RADIUS accounting messages to the adaptive security appliance, make sure that it was configured in the correct policy map that was applied to the service policy. If the host was not configured to send RADIUS accounting messages to the adaptive security appliance, then check to see why the messages are being sent. If the messages are illegitimate, then create the proper ACLs to drop the packets.

405301

Error Message    %ASA-4-405301: Attribute attribute_number does not match for user 
user_ip

Explanation    When the validate-attribute command was entered, the attribute values stored in the accounting request start received do not match those stored in the entry, if it exists.

user_ip—The IP address (framed IP attribute) of the user.

Recommended Action    None required.

406001

Error Message    %ASA-4-406001: FTP port command low port: IP_address/port to 
IP_address on interface interface_name

Explanation    A client entered an FTP port command and supplied a port less than 1024 (in the well-known port range usually devoted to server ports). This is indicative of an attempt to avert the site security policy. The adaptive security appliance drops the packet, terminates the connection, and logs the event.

Recommended Action    None required.

406002

Error Message    %ASA-4-406002: FTP port command different address: 
IP_address(IP_address) to IP_address on interface interface_name

Explanation    A client entered an FTP port command and supplied an address other than the address used in the connection. An attempt to avert the site security policy occurred. For example, an attacker might attempt to hijack an FTP session by changing the packet on the way, and putting different source information instead of the correct source information. The adaptive security appliance drops the packet, terminates the connection, and logs the event. The address in parentheses is the address from the port command.

Recommended Action    None required.

407001

Error Message    %ASA-4-407001: Deny traffic for local-host 
interface_name:inside_address, license limit of number exceeded

Explanation    The host limit was exceeded. An inside host is counted toward the limit when one of the following conditions is true:

The inside host has forwarded traffic through the adaptive security appliance within the last five minutes.

The inside host has reserved an xlate connection or user authentication at the adaptive security appliance.

Recommended Action    The host limit is enforced on the low-end platforms. Use the show version command to view the host limit. Use the show local-host command to view the current active hosts and the inside users that have sessions at the adaptive security appliance. To forcefully disconnect one or more users, use the clear local-host command. To expire the inside users more quickly from the limit, set the xlate, connection, and uauth timeouts to the recommended values or lower. (See Table 1-6.)

Table 1-6 Timeouts and Recommended Values

407002

Error Message    %ASA-4-407002: Embryonic limit nconns/elimit for through connections 
exceeded.outside_address/outside_port to global_address 
(inside_address)/inside_port on interface interface_name

Explanation    The number of connections from a specified foreign address over a specified global address to the specified local address exceeded the maximum embryonic limit for that static. The adaptive security appliance tries to accept the connection if it can allocate memory for that connection. It proxies on behalf of the local host and sends a SYN_ACK packet to the foreign host. The adaptive security appliance retains pertinent state information, drops the packet, and waits for the acknowledgment from the client. The message might indicate legitimate traffic or that a DoS attack is in progress.

Recommended Action    Check the source address to determine where the packets are coming from and whether or not a valid host is sending them.

407003

Error Message    %ASA-4-407003: Established limit for RPC services exceeded number

Explanation    The adaptive security appliance tried to open a new hole for a pair of RPC servers or services that have already been configured after the maximum number of holes has been met.

Error Message    %ASA-4-408002: ospf process id route type update address1 netmask1 
[distance1/metric1] via source IP:interface1 address2 netmask2 
[distance2/metric2] interface2

Explanation    A network update was received from a different interface with the same distance and a better metric than the existing route. The new route overrides the existing route that was installed through another interface. The new route is for redundancy purposes only and means that a path has shifted in the network. This change must be controlled through topology and redistribution. Any existing connections affected by this change are probably disabled and will time out. This path shift only occurs if the network topology has been specifically designed to support path redundancy, in which case it is expected.

Recommended Action    None required.

408003

Error Message    %ASA-4-408003: can't track this type of object hex

Explanation    A component of the tracking system has encountered an object type that is not supported by the component. A STATE object was expected.

412001

Error Message    %ASA-4-412001:MAC MAC_address moved from interface_1 to interface_2

Explanation    A host move was detected from one module interface to another. In a transparent adaptive security appliance, mapping between the host (MAC) and adaptive security appliance port is maintained in a Layer 2 forwarding table. The table dynamically binds packet source MAC addresses to an adaptive security appliance port. In this process, whenever movement of a host from one interface to another interface is detected, this message is generated.

Recommended Action    The host move might be valid or might be an attempt to spoof host MACs on other interfaces. If it is a MAC spoof attempt, you can either locate vulnerable hosts on your network and remove them or configure static MAC entries, which will not allow MAC address and port binding to change. If it is a genuine host move, no action is required.

412002

Error Message    %ASA-4-412002:Detected bridge table full while inserting MAC 
MAC_address on interface interface. Number of entries = num

Explanation    The bridge table was full and an attempt was made to add one more entry. The adaptive security appliance maintains a separate Layer 2 forwarding table per context and the message is generated whenever a context exceeds its size limit. The MAC address will be added, but it will replace the oldest existing dynamic entry (if available) in the table. This might be an attempted attack.

Recommended Action    Make sure that the new bridge table entries are valid. In case of attack, use EtherType ACLs to control access to vulnerable hosts.
