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.

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 ASA 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 ASA detects the failover, the ASA automatically reboots and loads the configuration from flash memory and/or resynchronizes with another ASA. If failovers occurs continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure that both ASAs 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

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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA, the ASA automatically reboots and loads the configuration from flash memory and/or resynchronizes with another ASA. If failovers occur continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure that both ASAs 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 ASAs are the same. This message indicates that the primary ASA is not able to verify the number of interfaces configured on the secondary ASA. This message indicates that the primary ASA is not able to communicate with the secondary ASA 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 ASAs. Make sure that the secondary ASA is running the ASA application and that failover is enabled.

105040

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

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

Recommended Action    Maintain consistent software versions between the primary and secondary ASAs to enable failover.

105042

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

Explanation    The LAN failover interface link is up.

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 ASA, 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: 
source_address/source_port] [([idfw_user | FQDN_string], sg_info)] dst 
[interface_name: dest_address/dest_port}[([idfw_user | FQDN_string], sg_info)] 

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 ASA 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 ASA 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 
[([idfw_user | FQDN_string], sg_info)]  dst interface_name: IP_address  
[([idfw_user | FQDN_string], sg_info)] (type dec, code dec)

Explanation    The ASA 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 ASA discarded a TCP packet that has no associated connection in the ASA connection table. The ASA 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 ASA discards the packet.

Recommended Action    None required unless the ASA 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 ASA interface that has a destination IP address of 0.0.0.0 and a destination MAC address of the ASA interface. In addition, this message is generated when the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA discarded an IP packet with a teardrop signature containing either a small offset or fragment overlapping. This is a hostile event that circumvents the ASA 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 ASA.

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 ASA checks packets arriving from the outside.

The ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA does not support asymmetric routing.

If the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA detects the same connection arriving on a perimeter interface, the ASA has more than one path to a destination. This is known as asymmetric routing and is not supported on the ASA.

An attacker also might be attempting to append packets from one connection to another as a way to break into the ASA. In either case, the ASA 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] [([idfw_user|FQDN_string], sg_info)] 
dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_port [([idfw_user|FQDN_string], sg_info)] 
[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. Both user identity information and FQDN information is provided for the IP addresses if a matched one is found. The ASA logs either identity information (domain\user) or FQDN (if the username is not available). If the identity information or FQDN is available, the ASA logs this information for both the source and destination.

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 ASA, 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) (idfw_user, sg_info) 
interface_name/dest_address(dest_port) (idfw_user, sg_info) 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 ASA and being evaluated by the access list. For example, if an ACK packet is received on the ASA (for which no TCP connection exists in the connection table), the ASA 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, the number after the source port is the message type.

idfw_user—The user identity username, including the domain name that is added to the existing syslog when the ASA can find the username for the IP address.

sg_info—The security group tag that is added to the syslog when the ASA can find a security group tag for the IP address. The security group name is displayed with the security group tag, if available.

dest_port—The destination port of the logged flow (TCP or UDP). For ICMP, the number after the destination port is the ICMP message code, which is available for some message types. For type 8, it is always 0. For a list of ICMP message types, see the following URL: http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters/icmp-parameters.xml.

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 ASA 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 ASA caches the flow information. This message indicates that the number of matching flows that are cached on the ASA 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

Recommended Action    None required.

106102

Error Message    %ASA-6-106102: access-list acl_ID {permitted|denied} protocol for user 
username interface_name/source_address source_port interface_name/dest_address 
dest_port hit-cnt number {first hit|number-second interval} hash codes

Explanation    A packet was either permitted or denied by an access-list that was applied through a VPN filter. This message is the VPN/AAA filter equivalent of message 106100.

Recommended Action    None required.

106103

Error Message    %ASA-4-106103: access-list acl_ID denied protocol for user username 
interface_name/source_address source_port interface_name/dest_address dest_port 
hit-cnt number first hit hash codes

Explanation    A packet was denied by an access-list that was applied through a VPN filter. This message is the VPN/AAA filter equivalent of message106023.

Recommended Action    None required.

107001

Error Message    %ASA-1-107001: RIP auth failed from IP_address: version=number, 
type=string, mode=string, sequence=number on interface interface_name

Explanation    The ASA received a RIP reply message with bad authentication. This message might be caused by a misconfiguration on the router or the ASA or by an unsuccessful attempt to attack the routing table of the ASA.

Recommended Action    This message indicates a possible attack and should be monitored. If you are not familiar with the source IP address listed in this message, change your RIP authentication keys between trusted entities. An attacker might be trying to determine the existing keys.

107002

Error Message    %ASA-1-107002: RIP pkt failed from IP_address: version=number on 
interface interface_name

Explanation    A router bug, a packet with non-RFC values inside, or a malformed entry may have caused this message to appear. This should not happen, and may be an attempt to exploit the routing table of the ASA.

Recommended Action    This message indicates a possible attack and should be monitored. The packet has passed authentication, if enabled, and bad data is in the packet. Monitor the situation and change the keys if there are any doubts about the originator of the packet.

108002

Error Message    %ASA-2-108002: SMTP replaced string: out source_address in 
inside_address data: string

Explanation    A Mail Guard (SMTP) message has been generated by the inspect esmtp command. The ASA has replaced an invalid character in an e-mail address with a space.

Recommended Action    None required.

108003

Error Message    %ASA-2-108003: Terminating ESMTP/SMTP connection; malicious pattern 
detected in the mail address from source_interface:source_address/source_port to 
dest_interface:dest_address/dset_port. Data:string

Explanation    The ASA has detected a malicious pattern in an e-mail address and drops the connection. An attack is in progress.

Recommended Action    None required.

Recommended Action    Log and review the message. Check whether the ESMTP policy map associated with this connection has the allow-tls action log setting. If not, contact the Cisco TAC.

109001

Error Message    %ASA-6-109001: Auth start for user user from 
inside_address/inside_port to outside_address/outside_port

Explanation    The ASA is configured for AAA and detects an authentication request by the specified user.

Recommended Action    None required.

109002

Error Message    %ASA-6-109002: Auth from inside_address/inside_port to 
outside_address/outside_port failed (server IP_address failed) on interface 
interface_name.

Explanation    An authentication request failed because the specified authentication server cannot be contacted by the module.

Recommended Action    Check that the authentication daemon is running on the specified authentication server.

109003

Error Message    %ASA-6-109003: Auth from inside_address to 
outside_address/outside_port failed (all servers failed) on interface 
interface_name, so marking all servers ACTIVE again.

Explanation    No authentication server can be found.

Recommended Action    Ping the authentication servers from the ASA. Make sure that the daemons are running.

outside_address/outside_port to inside_address/ inside_port on interface 
interface_name. 

Explanation    A user is not authorized to access the specified address, possibly because of an incorrect password.

Recommended Action    None required.

109010

Error Message    %ASA-3-109010: Auth from inside_address/inside_port to 
outside_address/outside_port failed (too many pending auths) on interface 
interface_name.

Explanation    An authentication request cannot be processed because the server has too many requests pending.

Recommended Action    Check to see if the authentication server is too slow to respond to authentication requests. Enable the Flood Defender feature with the floodguard enable command.

109011

Error Message    %ASA-2-109011: Authen Session Start: user 'user', sid number

Explanation    An authentication session started between the host and the ASA and has not yet completed.

Recommended Action    None required.

109012

Error Message    %ASA-5-109012: Authen Session End: user 'user', sid number, elapsed 
number seconds

Explanation    The authentication cache has timed out. Users must reauthenticate on their next connection. You can change the duration of this timer with the timeout uauth command.

Recommended Action    None required.

109013

Error Message    %ASA-3-109013: User must authenticate before using this service

Explanation    The user must be authenticated before using the service.

Recommended Action    Authenticate using FTP, Telnet, or HTTP before using the service.

109014

Error Message    %ASA-7-109014: A non-Telnet connection was denied to the configured 
virtual Telnet IP address.

Explanation    A request to authenticate did not have a corresponding request for authorization.

Recommended Action    Ensure that both the aaa authentication and aaa authorization command statements are included in the configuration.

109016

Error Message    %ASA-3-109016: Can't find authorization ACL acl_ID for user 'user'

Explanation    The specified on the AAA server for this user does not exist on the ASA. This error can occur if you configure the AAA server before you configure the ASA. The Vendor-Specific Attribute (VSA) on your AAA server might be one of the following values:

acl=acl_ID

shell:acl=acl_ID

ACS:CiscoSecured-Defined-ACL=acl_ID

Recommended Action    Add the ACL to the ASA, making sure to use the same name specified on the AAA server.

109017

Error Message    %ASA-4-109017: User at IP_address exceeded auth proxy connection limit 
(max)

Explanation    A user has exceeded the user authentication proxy limit, and has opened too many connections to the proxy.

Recommended Action    Increase the proxy limit by entering the proxy-limit proxy_limit command, or ask the user to close unused connections. If the error persists, it may indicate a possible DoS attack.

109018

Error Message    %ASA-3-109018: Downloaded ACL acl_ID is empty

Explanation    The downloaded authorization has no ACEs. This situation might be caused by misspelling the attribute string ip:inacl# or omitting the access-list command.

junk:junk# 1=permit tcp any any eq junk ip:inacl#1="

Recommended Action    Correct the ACL components that have the indicated error on the AAA server.

109019

Error Message    %ASA-3-109019: Downloaded ACL acl_ID has parsing error; ACE string

Explanation    An error occurred during parsing the sequence number NNN in the attribute string ip:inacl#NNN= of a downloaded authorization. The reasons include: - missing = - contains nonnumeric, nonpace characters between # and = - NNN is greater than 999999999.

ip:inacl# 1junk2=permit tcp any any
ip:inacl# 1000000000=permit tcp any any

Recommended Action    Correct the ACL element that has the indicated error on the AAA server.

109020

Error Message    %ASA-3-109020: Downloaded ACL has config error; ACE

Explanation    One of the components of the downloaded authorization has a configuration error. The entire text of the element is included in the message. This message is usually caused by an invalid access-list command statement.

Recommended Action    Correct the ACL component that has the indicated error on the AAA server.

109021

Error Message    %ASA-7-109021: Uauth null proxy error

Explanation    An internal user authentication error has occurred.

Recommended Action    None required. However, if this error appears repeatedly, contact the Cisco TAC.

109022

Error Message    %ASA-4-109022: exceeded HTTPS proxy process limit

Explanation    For each HTTPS authentication, the ASA dedicates a process to service the authentication request. When the number of concurrently running processes exceeds the system-imposed limit, the ASA does not perform the authentication, and this message appears.

Recommended Action    None required.

109023

Error Message    %ASA-3-109023: User from source_address/source_port to 
dest_address/dest_port on interface outside_interface must authenticate before 
using this service.

Explanation    Based on the configured policies, you need to be authenticated before you can use this service port.

Recommended Action    Authenticate using Telnet, FTP, or HTTP before attempting to use this service port.

109024

Error Message    %ASA-6-109024: Authorization denied from source_address/source_port to 
dest_address/dest_port (not authenticated) on interface interface_name using 
protocol

Explanation    The ASA is configured for AAA and a user attempted to make a TCP connection across the ASA without prior authentication.

Recommended Action    None required.

109025

Error Message    %ASA-6-109025: Authorization denied (acl=acl_ID) for user 'user' from 
source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port on interface interface_name 
using protocol

Explanation    The check failed. The check either matched a deny or did not match anything, such as an implicit deny. The connection was denied by the user acl_ID, which was defined according to the AAA authorization policy on the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS).

Recommended Action    None required.

109026

Error Message    %ASA-3-109026: [aaa protocol] Invalid reply digest received; shared 
server key may be mismatched.

Explanation    The response from the AAA server cannot be validated. The configured server key is probably incorrect. This message may be generated during transactions with RADIUS or TACACS+ servers.

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

109027

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 ASA 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. Th euse of a list containing an error could result in the violation of a security policy, so the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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.

109036

Error Message    %ASA-6-109036: Exceeded 1000 attribute values for the attribute name 
attribute for user username.

Explanation    The LDAP response message contains an attribute that has more than 1000 values.

attribute_name—The LDAP attribute name

username—The username at login

Recommended Action    None required.

109037

Error Message    %ASA-3-109037: Exceeded 5000 attribute values for the attribute name 
attribute for user username.

Explanation    The ASA supports multiple values of the same attribute received from a AAA server. If the AAA server sends a response containing more than 5000 values for the same attribute, then the ASA treats this response message as being malformed and rejects the authentication. This condition has only been seen in lab environments using specialized test tools. It is unlikely that the condition would occur in a real-world production network.

attribute_name—The LDAP attribute name

username—The username at login

Recommended Action    Capture the authentication traffic between the ASA and AAA server using a protocol sniffer (such as WireShark), then forward the trace file to the Cisco TAC for analysis.

109038

Error Message    %ASA-3-109038: Attribute internal-attribute-name value 
string-from-server from AAA server could not be parsed as a type 
internal-attribute-name string representation of the attribute name

Explanation    The AAA subsystem tried to parse an attribute from the AAA server into an internal representation and failed.

string-from-server—String received from the AAA server, truncated to 40 characters.

type—The type of the specified attribute

Recommended Action    Verify that the attribute is being generated correctly on the AAA server. For additional information, use the debug ldap and debug radius commands.

109039

Error Message    %ASA-5-109039: AAA Authentication:Dropping an unsupported 
IPv6/IP46/IP64 packet from lifc:laddr to fifc:faddr

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 ASA is reached, the ASA attempts to accept them anyway, but puts a time limit on the connections. This situation allows some connections to succeed even if the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA cannot preallocate connections for inbound standard output for rsh commands because of insufficient memory.

Recommended Action    Check the rsh client version; the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA to prevent a SYN flood attack. The ASA 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 ASA 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.

202010

Error Message    %ASA-3-202010: [NAT | PAT] pool exhausted for pool-name, port range 
[1-511 | 512-1023 | 1024-65535]. Unable to create protocol connection from 
in-interface:src-ip/src-port to out-interface:dst-ip/dst-port

pool-name—The name of the NAT or PAT pool

protocol—The protocol used to create the connection

in-interface—The ingress interface

src-ip—The source IP address

src-port—The source port

out-interface—The egress interface

dest-ip—The destination IP address

dst-port—The destination port

Explanation    The ASA has no more address translation pools available.

Recommended Action    Use the show nat pool and show nat detail commands to determine why all addresses and ports in the pool are used up. If this occurs under normal conditions, then add additional IP addresses to the NAT/PAT pool.

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.

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

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 ASA 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 command reference). The ASA limits the number of IP fragments that can be concurrently reassembled. This restriction prevents memory depletion at the ASA 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 ASA, consider using NFS over TCP instead. To prevent fragmentation, see the sysopt connection tcpmss bytes command in the 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 ASA disallows any IP packet that is fragmented into more than 24 fragments. For more information, see the fragment command in the 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 ASA, 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 ASA.

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 ASA 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 ASA.

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

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 ASAs 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 ASA 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 ASA cannot find a translation slot record for a Stateful Failover connection; as a result, the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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.

210020

Error Message    %ASA-3-210020: LU PAT port port reserve failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover is unable to allocate a specific PAT address that is in use.

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

210021

Error Message    %ASA-3-210021: LU create static xlate global_address ifc 
interface_name failed

Explanation    Stateful Failover is unable to create a translation slot.

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

210022

Error Message    %ASA-6-210022: LU missed number updates

Explanation    Stateful Failover assigns a sequence number for each record sent to the standby unit. When a received record sequence number is out of sequence with the last updated record, the information in between is assumed to be lost, and this error message is sent as a result.

Recommended Action    Unless LAN interruptions occur, check the available memory on both ASA units to ensure that enough memory is available to process the stateful information. Use the show failover command to monitor the quality of stateful information updates.

211001

Error Message    %ASA-3-211001: Memory allocation Error

Explanation    The ASA failed to allocate RAM system memory.

Recommended Action    If this message occurs periodically, it can be ignored. If it repeats frequently, contact the Cisco TAC.

211003

Error Message    %ASA-3-211003: Error in computed percentage CPU usage value

Explanation    The percentage of CPU usage is greater than 100 percent.

Recommended Action    If this message occurs periodically, it can be ignored. If it repeats frequently, contact the Cisco TAC.

211004

Error Message    %ASA-1-211004: WARNING: Minimum Memory Requirement for ASA version ver 
not met for ASA image. min MB required, actual MB found.

Explanation    The ASA does not meet the minimum memory requirements for this version. A memory upgrade is required. If a memory upgrade is not immediately available, then downgrade the ASA to Version 8.2(1) or lower. Continuing to run an 8.3 image without meeting the minimum memory requirements is not supported and may result in critical system failures.

212001

Error Message    %ASA-3-212001: Unable to open SNMP channel (UDP port port) on interface 
interface_number, error code = code

Explanation    The ASA is unable to receive SNMP requests destined for the ASA from SNMP management stations located on this interface. The SNMP traffic passing through the ASA on any interface is not affected. The error codes are as follows:

An error code of -1 indicates that the ASA cannot open the SNMP transport for the interface. This can occur when the user attempts to change the port on which SNMP accepts queries to one that is already in use by another feature. In this case, the port used by SNMP will be reset to the default port for incoming SNMP queries (UDP 161).

An error code of -2 indicates that the ASA cannot bind the SNMP transport for the interface.

Recommended Action    After the ASA reclaims some of its resources when traffic is lighter, reenter the snmp-server host command for that interface.

212002

Error Message    %ASA-3-212002: Unable to open SNMP trap channel (UDP port port) on 
interface interface_number, error code = code

Explanation    The ASA is unable to send its SNMP traps from the ASA to SNMP management stations located on this interface. The SNMP traffic passing through the ASA on any interface is not affected. The error codes are as follows:

An error code of -1 indicates that the ASA cannot open the SNMP trap transport for the interface.

An error code of -2 indicates that the ASA cannot bind the SNMP trap transport for the interface.

An error code of -3 indicates that the ASA cannot set the trap channel as write-only.

Recommended Action    After the ASA reclaims some of its resources when traffic is lighter, reenter the snmp-server host command for that interface.

212003

Error Message    %ASA-3-212003: Unable to receive an SNMP request on interface 
interface_number, error code = code, will try again.

Explanation    An internal error occurred in receiving an SNMP request destined for the ASA on the specified interface. The error codes are as follows:

An error code of -1 indicates that the ASA cannot find a supported transport type for the interface.

An error code of -5 indicates that the ASA received no data from the UDP channel for the interface.

An error code of -7 indicates that the ASA received an incoming request that exceeded the supported buffer size.

An error code of -14 indicates that the ASA cannot determine the source IP address from the UDP channel.

An error code of -22 indicates that the ASA received an invalid parameter.

Recommended Action    None required. The ASA SNMP agent goes back to wait for the next SNMP request.

212004

Error Message    %ASA-3-212004: Unable to send an SNMP response to IP Address IP_address 
Port port interface interface_number, error code = code

Explanation    An internal error occurred in sending an SNMP response from the ASA to the specified host on the specified interface. The error codes are as follows:

An error code of -1 indicates that the ASA cannot find a supported transport type for the interface.

An error code of -2 indicates that the ASA sent an invalid parameter.

An error code of -3 indicates that the ASA was unable to set the destination IP address in the UDP channel.

An error code of -4 indicates that the ASA sent a PDU length that exceeded the supported UDP segment size.

An error code of -5 indicates that the ASA was unable to allocate a system block to construct the PDU.

Recommended Action    None required.

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 ASA exceeds the size of the internal data buffer (512 bytes) used for storing the request during internal processing. The ASA is unable to process this request. The SNMP traffic passing through the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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.

Recommended Action    Contact the Cisco TAC.

213002

Error Message    %ASA-3-213002: PPTP tunnel hashtable insert failed, peer = IP_address.

Explanation    An internal software error occurred while creating a new PPTP tunnel.

Recommended Action    Contact the Cisco TAC.

213003

Error Message    %ASA-3-213003: PPP virtual interface interface_number isn't opened.

213004

Error Message    %ASA-3-213004: PPP virtual interface interface_number client ip 
allocation failed.

Explanation    An internal software error occurred while allocating an IP address to the PPTP client when the IP local address pool was depleted.

Recommended Action    Consider allocating a larger pool with the ip local pool command.

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 ASA management port indicates a packet length exceeding the specified upper limit. This may be a hostile event. The ASA 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.

Recommended Action    Contact the Cisco TAC.

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

Explanation    An internal logic error has occurred, which should not occur during normal operation.

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 
transmitter lockup. A soft reset of the switch was performed.

Explanation    A duplex mismatch on the port caused a problem in which the port can no longer transmit packets. This condition was detected, and the switch was reset to autorecover. This message applies only to the ASA 5505.

interface_name—The interface name that was locked up

Recommended Action    A duplex mismatch exists between the specified port and the ASA 5505 that is connected to it. Correct the duplex mismatch by either setting both devices to autorecover, or hard coding the duplex mismatch for both devices to be the same.

218001

Error Message    %ASA-2-218001: Failed Identification Test in slot# [fail#/res].

Explanation    The module in slot# of the ASA cannot be identified as a genuine Cisco product. Cisco warranties and support programs apply only to genuine Cisco products. If Cisco determines that the cause of a support issue is related to non-Cisco memory, SSM modules, SSC modules, or other modules, Cisco may deny support under your warranty or under a Cisco support program such as SmartNet.

I2C_TIMEOUT_ERROR

I2C_BUS_COLLISION_ERROR

I2C_HOST_BUSY_ERROR

I2C_UNPOPULATED_ERROR

I2C_SMBUS_UNSUPPORT

I2C_BYTE_COUNT_ERROR

I2C_DATA_PTR_ERROR

Recommended Action    Perform the following steps:

1. Log and review the messages and the errors associated with the event. If the message does not occur continuously and disappears after a few minutes, it might be because the I2C serial bus is busy.

2. Reboot the software running on the ASA.

3. Power cycle the device. When you turn off the power, make sure that you wait several seconds before turning the power on.

4. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

interface, real-address, real-port—The actual socket

duration—The lifetime of the connection

bytesThe data transfer of the connection

user—The AAA name of the user

idfw_user—The name of the identity firewall user

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.

Free the flow created as result of packet injection

The connection was built because the packet tracer feature sent a simulated packet through the ASA.

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.

No valid adjacency

This counter is incremented when the ASA tried to obtain an adjacency and could not obtain the MAC address for the next hop. The packet is dropped.

Pinhole Timeout

The counter is incremented to report that the ASA 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 ASA 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. The 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 ASA.

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.

Recommended Action    None required.

304006

Error Message    %ASA-3-304006: URL Server IP_address not responding

Explanation    The Websense server is unavailable for access, and the ASA attempts to either try to access the same server if it is the only server installed, or another server if there is more than one.

Recommended Action    None required.

304007

Error Message    %ASA-2-304007: URL Server IP_address not responding, ENTERING ALLOW 
mode.

Explanation    You used the allow option of the filter command, and the Websense servers are not responding. The ASA allows all web requests to continue without filtering while the servers are not available.

Recommended Action    None required.

304008

Error Message    %ASA-2-304008: LEAVING ALLOW mode, URL Server is up.

Explanation    You used the allow option of the filter command, and the ASA receives a response message from a Websense server that previously was not responding. With this response message, the ASA exits the allow mode, which enables the URL filtering feature again.

Recommended Action    None required.

304009

Error Message    %ASA-7-304009: Ran out of buffer blocks specified by url-block command

Explanation    The URL pending buffer block is running out of space.

305005

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

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 
[(idfw_user)] dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_port [(idfw_user)]

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

The ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA has attempted to translate an address that it cannot find in any of its global pools. The ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA 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 [(idfw_user)] 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 [(idfw_user)] 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 [(idfw_user)] 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} 
[(idfw_user)] 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 
[(idfw_user)] dst interface_name:dst_address/dst_port [(idfw_user)] 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 ASA 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 ASA when the standby ASA is first to be online.

Recommended Action    None required.

312001

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

Explanation    The ASA 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 ASA.

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 ASA discards the ICMP packet and generates this message. The icmp command enables or disables pinging to an interface. With pinging disabled, the ASA 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 ASA 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 ASA or ICMP error messages not related to any TCP, UDP, or ICMP session already established in the ASA.

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

[([idfw_user | FQDN_string], sg_info)] (type icmp_type, code icmp_code) 
embedded_frame_info = prot src source_address/source_port [([idfw_user | 
FQDN_string], sg_info)] dst dest_address/dest_port [(idfw_user|FQDN_string), 
sg_info]

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

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 ASA discards the ICMPv6 packet and generates this message.

The icmp command enables or disables pinging to an interface. When pinging is disabled, the ASA 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.

314001

Error Message    %ASA-6-314001: Pre-allocated RTSP UDP backconnection for 
src_intf:src_IP to dst_intf:dst_IP/dst_port.

Explanation    The ASA cannot open a new pinhole for the media channel.

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 ASA 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

Error Message    %ASA-6-314004: RTSP client src_intf:src_IP accessed RTSP URL RTSP URL

Explanation    An RTSP client tried to access an RTSP server.

src_intf—Source interface name

src_IP—Source interface IP address

RTSP URL—RTSP server URL

Recommended Action    None required.

314005

Error Message    %ASA-6-314005: RTSP client src_intf:src_IP denied access to URL 
RTSP_URL.

Explanation    An RTSP client tried to access a prohibited site.

src_intf—Source interface name

src_IP—Source interface IP address

RTSP_URL—RTSP server URL

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

Recommended Action    From the ASA 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.

315011

Error Message    %ASA-6-315011: SSH session from IP_address on interface interface_name 
for user user disconnected by SSH server, reason: reason

Explanation    An SSH session has ended. If a user enters quit or exit, the terminated normally message appears. If the session disconnected for another reason, the text describes the reason. Table 1-4 lists the possible reasons why a session disconnected.

Table 1-4 SSH Disconnect Reasons 

Text String
Explanation
Action

Bad checkbytes

A mismatch was detected in the check bytes during an SSH key exchange.

Restart the SSH session.

CRC check failed

The CRC value computed for a particular packet does not match the CRC value embedded in the packet; the packet is bad.

None required. If this message persists, call Cisco TAC.

Decryption failure

Decryption of an SSH session key failed during an SSH key exchange.

Check the RSA host key and try again.

Format error

A nonprotocol version message was received during an SSH version exchange.

Check the SSH client, to ensure it is a supported version.

Internal error

This message indicates either an error internal to SSH on the ASA or an RSA key may not have been entered on the ASA or cannot be retrieved.

From the ASA 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.

Invalid cipher type

The SSH client requested an unsupported cipher.

Enter the show version command to determine which features your license supports, then reconfigure the SSH client to use the supported cipher.

Invalid message length

The length of SSH message arriving at the ASA exceeds 262,144 bytes or is shorter than 4096 bytes. The data may be corrupted.

None required.

Invalid message type

The ASA received a non-SSH message, or an unsupported or unwanted SSH message.

Check whether the peer is an SSH client. If it is a client supporting SSHv1, and this message persists, from the ASA serial console enter the debug ssh command and capture the debugging messages. Then contact the Cisco TAC.

Out of memory

This message appears when the ASA cannot allocate memory for use by the SSH server, probably when the ASA is busy with high traffic.

Restart the SSH session later.

Rejected by server

User authentication failed.

Ask the user to verify username and password.

Reset by client

An SSH client sent the SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT message to the ASA.

None required.

status code: hex (hex)

Users closed the SSH client window (running on Windows) instead of entering quit or exit at the SSH console.

None required. Encourage users to exit the client gracefully instead of just exiting.

Terminated by operator

The SSH session was terminated by entering the ssh disconnect command at the ASA console.

None required.

Time-out activated

The SSH session timed out because the duration specified by the ssh timeout command was exceeded.

Restart the SSH connection. You can use the ssh timeout command to increase the default value of 5 minutes up to 60 minutes if required.


Recommended Action    None required.

316001

Error Message    %ASA-3-316001: Denied new tunnel to IP_address. VPN peer limit 
(platform_vpn_peer_limit) exceeded

Explanation    If more VPN tunnels (ISAKMP/IPsec) are concurrently trying to be established than are supported by the platform VPN peer limit, then the excess tunnels are aborted.

Recommended Action    None required.

316002

Error Message    %ASA-3-316002: VPN Handle error: protocol=protocol, src 
in_if_num:src_addr, dst out_if_num:dst_addr

Explanation    The ASA cannot create a VPN handle, because the VPN handle already exists.

protocol—The protocol of the VPN flow

in_if_num—The ingress interface number of the VPN flow

src_addr—The source IP address of the VPN flow

out_if_num—The egress interface number of the VPN flow

dst_addr—The destination IP address of the VPN flow

Recommended Action    This message may occur during normal operation; however, if the message occurs repeatedly and a major malfunction of VPN-based applications occurs, a software defect may be the cause. Enter the following commands to collect more information and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further:

322001

Error Message    %ASA-3-322001: Deny MAC address MAC_address, possible spoof attempt on 
interface interface

Explanation    The ASA received a packet from the offending MAC address on the specified interface, but the source MAC address in the packet is statically bound to another interface in the configuration. Either a MAC-spoofing attack or a misconfiguration may be the cause.

Recommended Action    Check the configuration and take appropriate action by either finding the offending host or correcting the configuration.

322002

Error Message    %ASA-3-322002: ARP inspection check failed for arp {request|response} 
received from host MAC_address on interface interface. This host is advertising 
MAC Address MAC_address_1 for IP Address IP_address, which is 
{statically|dynamically} bound to MAC Address MAC_address_2.

Explanation    If the ARP inspection module is enabled, it checks whether a new ARP entry advertised in the packet conforms to the statically configured or dynamically learned IP-MAC address binding before forwarding ARP packets across the ASA. If this check fails, the ARP inspection module drops the ARP packet and generates this message. This situation may be caused by either ARP spoofing attacks in the network or an invalid configuration (IP-MAC binding).

Recommended Action    If the cause is an attack, you can deny the host using the ACLs. If the cause is an invalid configuration, correct the binding.

322003

Error Message    %ASA-3-322003:ARP inspection check failed for arp {request|response} 
received from host MAC_address on interface interface. This host is advertising 
MAC Address MAC_address_1 for IP Address IP_address, which is not bound to any MAC 
Address. 

Explanation    If the ARP inspection module is enabled, it checks whether a new ARP entry advertised in the packet conforms to the statically configured IP-MAC address binding before forwarding ARP packets across the ASA. If this check fails, the ARP inspection module drops the ARP packet and generates this message. This situation may be caused by either ARP spoofing attacks in the network or an invalid configuration (IP-MAC binding).

Recommended Action    If the cause is an attack, you can deny the host using the ACLs. If the cause is an invalid configuration, correct the binding.

322004

Error Message    %ASA-6-322004: No management IP address configured for transparent 
firewall. Dropping protocol protocol packet from 
interface_in:source_address/source_port to interface_out:dest_address/dest_port

Error Message    %ASA-3-323005: Module in slot slot_num can not be started completely

Explanation    This message indicates that the module can not be started completely. The module will remain in the UNRESPONSIVE state until this condition is corrected. A module that is not fully seated in the slot is the most likely cause.

module_id—For a software services module, specifies the service module name.

slot_num—For a hardware services module, specifies the slot number that contains the module.

Recommended Action    Verify that the module is fully seated and check to see if any status LEDs on the module are on. It may take a minute after fully reseating the module for the ASA to recognize that it is powered up. If this message appears after verifying that the module is seated and after resetting the module using either the sw-module module service-module-name reset command or the hw-module module slotnum reset command, contact the Cisco TAC.

323006

Error Message    %ASA-1-323006: Module ips experienced a data channel communication 
failure, data channel is DOWN.

Explanation    A data channel communication failure occurred and the ASA was unable to forward traffic to the services module. This failure triggers a failover when the failure occurs on the active ASA in an HA configuration. The failure also results in the configured fail open or fail closed policy being enforced on traffic that would normally be sent to the services module. This message is generated whenever a communication problem over the ASA dataplane occurs between the system module and the services module, which can be caused when the services module stops, resets, is removed or disabled.

Recommended Action    For software services modules such as IPS, recover the module using the sw-module module ips recover command. For hardware services modules, if this message is not the result of the SSM reloading or resetting and the corresponding syslog message 505010 is not seen after the SSM returns to an UP state, reset the module using the hw-module module 1 reset command.

323007

Error Message    %ASA-3-323007: Module in slot slot experienced a firware failure and 
the recovery is in progress.

Error Message    %ASA-3-337008: Phone Proxy: Unable to allocate media port from 
media-termination address phone_proxy_ifc:media_term_IP for 
client_ifc:client_IP/client_port; call failed.

Explanation    The ASA cannot find a port to allocate for media when creating a new media session. This message may occur because the user has not provided a large enough range of ports for phone proxy use, which is determined in the media-termination address command, or that all available ports are already being used.

media-termination address—The media termination address

phone_proxy_ifc—The media termination interface name (identity)

media_term_ip—The media termination IP address

client_ifc—The client interface name

client_ip—The client IP address

Make sure that the port is allowed through your network. If the network connection is not the problem, contact your network administrator.

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 ASA 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

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

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.

339007

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

Recommended Action    None required.

339009

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

Explanation    The ASA 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 ASA, 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 ASA.

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 ASA 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.

remote_IPIP address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel

local_IPIP address of the local endpoint of the tunnel

act_prot—Received IPsec protocol

exp_prot—Expected IPsec protocol

Recommended Action    Contact the administrator of the peer.

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 ASA 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.

protocol—IPsec protocol

remote_IPIP address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel

local_IPIP address of the local endpoint of the tunnel

Recommended Action    Contact the administrator of the peer to compare policy settings.

402118

Error Message    %ASA-4-402118: IPSEC: Received an protocol packet (SPI=spi, sequence 
number seq_num) from remote_IP (username) to local_IP containing an illegal IP 
fragment of length frag_len with offset frag_offset.

Explanation    A decapsulatd IPsec packet included an IP fragment with an offset less than or equal to 128 bytes. The latest version of the security architecture for IP RFC recommends 128 bytes as the minimum IP fragment offset to prevent reassembly attacks. This may be part of an attack. This message is rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.

protocol—IPsec protocol

Recommended Action    Contact the administrator of the remote peer to compare policy settings.

402119

Error Message    %ASA-4-402119: IPSEC: Received an protocol packet (SPI=spi, sequence 
number=seq_num) from remote_IP (username) to local_IP that failed anti-replay

402126

Error Message    %ASA-4-402126: CRYPTO: The ASA created Crypto Archive File 
Archive Filename as a Soft Reset was necessary. Please forward this archived 
information to Cisco.

Explanation    A functional problem with the hardware crypto chip was detected (see syslog messages 402124 and 402125). To further debug the crypto problem, a crypto archive file was generated that included the current crypto hardware environment (hardware registers and crypto description entries). At boot time, a crypto_archive directory was automatically created on the flash file system (if it did not exist previously). A maximum of two crypto archive files are allowed to exist in this directory.

Archive Filename—The name of the crypto archive file name. The crypto archive file names are of the form, crypto_arch_x.bin, where x = (1 or 2).

Recommended Action    Forward the crypto archive files to the Cisco TAC for further analysis.
