Recommended Action Ensure that the cable is properly connected.
105020
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105020: (Primary) Incomplete/slow config replicationExplanation When a failover occurs, the active security appliance detects a partial configuration in memory. Normally, this is caused by an interruption in the replication service. (Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary unit.
Recommended Action Once the failover is detected by the security appliance, the security appliance automatically reloads itself and loads configuration from Flash memory and/or resynchronizes with another security appliance. If failovers happen continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure both security appliance units can communicate with each other.
105021
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105021: (failover_unit) Standby unit failed to sync due to a locked context_name config. Lock held by lock_owner_nameExplanation During configuration synchronizing, a standby unit will reload itself if some other process locks the configuration for more than 5 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 EXEC command and the pager lines num CONFIG command.
Recommended Action Avoid viewing or modifying configuration on standby unit when it first comes up and is in the process of establishing a failover connection with the active unit.

105036
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105036: dropped a LAN Failover command message.Explanation The security appliance dropped an unacknowledged LAN failover command message, indicating a connectivity problem on the LAN failover interface.
Recommended Action Check that the LAN interface cable is connected.
105037
Error Message %PIX|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.
Recommended Action Check that the LAN interface cable is connected.
105038
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105038: (Primary) Interface count mismatchExplanation When a failover occurs, the active security appliance detects a partial configuration in memory. Normally, this is caused by an interruption in the replication service. (Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary unit.
Recommended Action Once the failover is detected by the security appliance, the security appliance automatically reloads itself and loads the configuration from Flash memory and/or resyncs with another security appliance. If failovers happen continuously, check the failover configuration and make sure that both security appliance units can communicate with each other.
105039
Error Message %PIX|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 security appliances are the same. This message indicates that the primary security appliance is not able to verify the number of interfaces configured on the secondary security appliance. This message indicates that the primary security appliance is not able communicate with the secondary security appliance over the failover interface. (Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary security appliance.
Recommended Action Verify the failover LAN, interface configuration, and status on the primary and secondary security appliances. Make sure that the secondary security appliance is running the security appliance application and that failover is enabled.
105040
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105040: (Primary) Mate failover version is not compatible.Explanation The primary and secondary security appliance should run the same failover software version to act as a failover pair. This message indicates that the secondary security appliance failover software version is not compatible with the primary security appliance. Failover is disabled on the primary security appliance. (Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary security appliance.
Recommended Action Maintain consistent software versions between the primary and secondary security appliances to enable failover.
105042
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105042: (Primary) Failover interface OKExplanation LAN failover interface link is up.
Explanation The interface used to send failover messages to the secondary security appliance is functioning. (Primary) can also be listed as (Secondary) for the secondary security appliance.

105043
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105043: (Primary) Failover interface failedExplanation LAN failover interface link is down.
Recommended Action Check the connectivity of the LAN failover interface. Make sure that the speed/duplex setting is correct.
105044
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105044: (Primary) Mate operational mode mode is not compatible with my mode mode.Explanation When the operational mode (single or multi) 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 %PIX|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 %PIX|ASA-1-105046 (Primary|Secondary) Mate has a different chassisExplanation This message is issued when two failover units have a different type of chassis. For example, one is a PIX, the other is an ASA-5520, or one has a 3-slot chassis, the other has a 6-slot chassis.
Recommended Action Make sure that the two failover units are the same.
105047
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-105047: Mate has a io_card_name1 card in slot slot_number which is different from my io_card_name2Explanation 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 re-enable failover.
106001
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106001: Inbound TCP connection denied from IP_address/port to IP_address/port flags tcp_flags on interface interface_nameExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message occurs when an attempt to connect to an inside address is denied by the security policy that is defined for the specified traffic type. 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 security appliance, and it was dropped. The tcp_flags in this packet are FIN and ACK.
The tcp_flags are as follows:
•
ACK—The acknowledgment number was received.
•
FIN—Data was sent.
•
PSH—The receiver passed data to the application.
•
RST—The connection was reset.
•
SYN—Sequence numbers were synchronized to start a connection.
•
URG—The urgent pointer was declared valid.
Recommended Action None required.
106002
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106002: protocol Connection denied by outbound list acl_ID src inside_address dest outside_addressExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if the specified connection fails 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 %PIX|ASA-2-106006: Deny inbound UDP from outside_address/outside_port to inside_address/inside_port on interface interface_name.Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if an inbound UDP packet is denied by the security policy that is defined for the specified traffic type.
Recommended Action None required.
106007
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106007: Deny inbound UDP from outside_address/outside_port to inside_address/inside_port due to DNS {Response|Query}.Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if a UDP packet containing a DNS query or response is 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 %PIX|ASA-3-106010: Deny inbound protocol src interface_name:dest_address/dest_port dst interface_name:source_address/source_portExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if an inbound connection is 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 %PIX|ASA-3-106011: Deny inbound (No xlate) stringExplanation The message will appear 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 security appliance receives the reset, this message will appear. It can typically be ignored.
Recommended Action Prevent this syslog message from getting logged to the syslog server by entering the no logging message 106011 command.
106012
Error Message %PIX|ASA-6-106012: Deny IP from IP_address to IP_address, IP options hex.Explanation This is a packet integrity check message. 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 %PIX|ASA-2-106013: Dropping echo request from IP_address to PAT address IP_addressExplanation The security appliance discarded an inbound ICMP Echo Request packet with a destination address that corresponds to a PAT global address. The inbound packet is discarded because it cannot specify which PAT host should receive the packet.
Recommended Action None required.
106014
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-106014: Deny inbound icmp src interface_name: IP_address dst interface_name: IP_address (type dec, code dec)Explanation The security appliance denied any inbound ICMP packet access. By default, all ICMP packets are denied access unless specifically permitted.
Recommended Action None required.
106015
Error Message %PIX|ASA-6-106015: Deny TCP (no connection) from IP_address/port to IP_address/port flags tcp_flags on interface interface_name.Explanation The security appliance discarded a TCP packet that has no associated connection in the security appliance connection table. The security appliance looks for a SYN flag in the packet, which indicates a request to establish a new connection. If the SYN flag is not set, and there is not an existing connection, the security appliance discards the packet.
Recommended Action None required unless the security appliance receives a large volume of these invalid TCP packets. If this is the case, trace the packets to the source and determine the reason these packets were sent.
106016
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106016: Deny IP spoof from (IP_address) to IP_address on interface interface_name.Explanation This message is generated when a packet arrives at the security appliance interface that has a destination IP address of 0.0.0.0 and a destination MAC address of the security appliance interface. In addition, this message is generated when the security appliance discarded a packet with an invalid source address, which may include one of the following or some other invalid address:
•
Loopback network (127.0.0.0)
•
Broadcast (limited, net-directed, subnet-directed, and all-subnets-directed)
•
The destination host (land.c)
To further enhance spoof packet detection, use the icmp command to configure the security appliance to discard packets with source addresses belonging to the internal network, because the access-list command has been deprecated and is no longer guaranteed to work correctly.
Recommended Action Determine if an external user is trying to compromise the protected network. Check for misconfigured clients.
106017
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106017: Deny IP due to Land Attack from IP_address to IP_addressExplanation The security appliance received a packet with the IP source address equal to the IP destination, and the destination port equal to the source port. This message indicates a spoofed packet that is designed to attack systems. This attack is referred to as a Land Attack.
Recommended Action If this message persists, an attack may be in progress. The packet does not provide enough information to determine where the attack originates.
106018
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106018: ICMP packet type ICMP_type denied by outbound list acl_ID src inside_address dest outside_addressExplanation 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 %PIX|ASA-2-106020: Deny IP teardrop fragment (size = number, offset = number) from IP_address to IP_addressExplanation The security appliance discarded an IP packet with a teardrop signature containing either a small offset or fragment overlapping. This is a hostile event that circumvents the security appliance or an Intrusion Detection System.
Recommended Action Contact the remote peer administrator or escalate this issue according to your security policy.
106021
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-106021: Deny protocol reverse path check from source_address to dest_address on interface interface_nameExplanation 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 security appliance.
This message appears when you have enabled Unicast RPF with the ip verify reverse-path command. This feature works on packets input to an interface; if it is configured on the outside, then the security appliance checks packets arriving from the outside.
The security appliance looks up a route based on the source_address. If an entry is not found and a route is not defined, then this syslog message appears and the connection is dropped.
If there is a route, the security appliance checks which interface it corresponds to. If the packet arrived on another interface, it is either a spoof or there is an asymmetric routing environment that has more than one path to a destination. The security appliance does not support asymmetric routing.
If the security appliance is configured on an internal interface, it checks static route command statements or RIP, and if the source_address is not found, then an internal user is spoofing their address.
Recommended Action Even though an attack is in progress, if this feature is enabled, no user action is required. The security appliance repels the attack.
106022
Error Message %PIX|ASA-1-106022: Deny protocol connection spoof from source_address to dest_address on interface interface_nameExplanation A packet matching a connection arrives on a different interface from the interface that the connection began on.
For example, if a user starts a connection on the inside interface, but the security appliance detects the same connection arriving on a perimeter interface, the security appliance has more than one path to a destination. This is known as asymmetric routing and is not supported on the security appliance.
An attacker also might be attempting to append packets from one connection to another as a way to break into the security appliance. In either case, the security appliance displays this message and drops the connection.
Recommended Action This message appears when the ip verify reverse-path command is not configured. Check that the routing is not asymmetric.
106023
Error Message %PIX|ASA-4-106023: Deny protocol src [interface_name:source_address/source_port] dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_port [type {string}, code {code}] by access_group acl_IDExplanation A real IP packet was denied by the ACL. This message displays even if you do not have the log option enabled for an ACL.
Recommended Action If messages persist from the same source address, messages might indicate a foot-printing or port-scanning attempt. Contact the remote host administrators.
106024
Error Message %PIX|ASA-2-106024: Access rules memory exhaustedExplanation 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 system, 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 %PIX|ASA-6-106025: Failed to determine the security context for the packet:sourceVlan:source_address dest_address source_port dest_port protocolError Message %PIX|ASA-6-106026: Failed to determine the security context for the packet:sourceVlan:source_address dest_address source_port dest_port protocolExplanation 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 %PIX|ASA-4-106027:Failed to determine the security context for the packet:vlansource Vlan#:ethertype src sourceMAC dst destMACExplanation 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 %PIX|ASA-6-106100: access-list acl_ID {permitted | denied | est-allowed} protocol interface_name/source_address(source_port) -> interface_name/dest_address(dest_port) hit-cnt number ({first hit | number-second interval}) hash codesExplanation This message is generated any time that a packet is seen that does not match an existing connection on the security appliance. The message indicates either the initial occurrence or the total number of occurrences during an interval. 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 syslog ID might be triggered because of a non-synchronized packet reaching the security appliance and being evaluated by the access-list. For example, if an ACK packet is received on the security appliance (for which no TCP connection exists in the connection table), the device might generate syslog 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:
Explanation 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.
•

•
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 wildcard configuration. If it is meant to be a wildcard, and if all access list netmasks on that server are wildcard 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. In other words, where the netmask presents consecutive binary 1's. For example, 00000000.00000000.00011111.11111111 or hex 0.0.31.255. If the mask is meant to be normal and all access list netmasks on that server are normal then use the normal setting acl-netmask-convert for the AAA server.

109035
Error Message %ASA-3-109035: Exceeded maximum number (999) of DAP attribute instances for user string.Explanation The Dynamic Access Policy supports multiple values of the same attribute received from an AAA server. If the AAA server should send a response containing more than 999 values for the same attribute, then the ASA will treat this response message as being malformed and reject the authentication. This condition has only been seen in lab environments using specialized test tools. It is unlikely that the condition should occur in a real-world production network.
•
string—The username at login
Recommended Action If this message is generated, it would be helpful to capture the authentication traffic between the ASA and AAA server using a protocol sniffer (such as WireShark) and forward the trace file to Cisco Engineering for analysis.

Messages 201002 to 219002
This section contains messages from 201002 to 219002.
201002
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-201002: Too many TCP connections on {static|xlate} global_address! econns nconnsExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed when the maximum number of TCP connections to the specified global address was exceeded. The econns variable is the maximum number of embryonic connections and the nconns variable is the maximum number of connections permitted for the static or xlate.
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 %PIX|ASA-2-201003: Embryonic limit exceeded nconns/elimit for outside_address/outside_port (global_address) inside_address/inside_port on interface interface_nameExplanation This is a connection-related message regarding traffic to the security appliance. This message is displayed when 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 security appliance is reached, the security appliance attempts to accept them anyway, but puts a time limit on the connections. This situation allows some connections to succeed even if the security appliance is very busy. The nconns variable lists the number of embryonic connections received and the elimit variable lists the maximum number of embryonic connections specified in the static or nat command.
Recommended Action This message indicates a more serious overload than message 201002. It could be caused by a SYN attack, or by a very heavy load of legitimate traffic. Use the show static command to check the limit imposed on embryonic connections to a static address.
201004
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-201004: Too many UDP connections on {static|xlate} global_address! udp connections limitExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed when the maximum number of UDP connections to the specified global address was exceeded. The udp conn limit variable is the maximum number of UDP connections permitted for the static 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 %PIX|ASA-3-201005: FTP data connection failed for IP_address IP_addressExplanation The security appliance could not 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 %PIX|ASA-3-201006: RCMD backconnection failed for IP_address/port.Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if the security appliance is unable to preallocate connections for inbound standard output for rsh commands due to insufficient memory.
Recommended Action Check the rsh client version; the security appliance only supports the Berkeley rsh. You can also reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory.
201008
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-201008: The security appliance is disallowing new connections.Explanation This message appears when you have enabled TCP syslog messaging and the syslog server cannot be reached, or when using security appliance syslog server (PFSS) and the disk on the Windows NT system is full, or when the auto-update timeout is configured and the auto-update server is not reachable.
Recommended Action Disable TCP syslog messaging. If using PFSS, free up space on the Windows NT system where PFSS resides. Also, make sure that the syslog server is up and you can ping the host from the security appliance console. Then restart TCP system message logging to allow traffic. If the Auto Update Server has not been contacted for a certain period of time, the following command will cause it to cease sending packets: [no] auto-update timeout period.
201009
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-201009: TCP connection limit of number for host IP_address on interface_name exceededExplanation This is a connection-related message.

Recommended Action None required.
201011
Error Message %PIX|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 firewall device 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 firewall device until one of the existing connections are torn down thereby bringing the current connection count below the configured maximum.
•
cnt—Current connection count.
•

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_nameExplanation 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 security appliance to prevent a SYN flood attack. The security appliance will only connect to the server if the client is able to finish the three-way handshake. This usually does not affect the end user or the application. However, if this creates a problem for any application that has a legitimate need for a higher number of embryonic connections, you can adjust the setting by entering the set connection per-client-embryonic-max command.
201013
Error Message %ASA-3-201013: Per-client connection limit exceeded curr num/limit for [input|output] packet from ip/port to ip/port on interface interface_nameExplanation A connection was rejected because the per-client connection limit was exceeded.

•
limit—The configured limit.
•
[input|output]—The input or output packet on interface interface_name.
•
IP_address—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. This will cause 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 %PIX|ASA-3-202001: Out of address translation slots!Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed if the security appliance has no more address translation slots available.
Recommended Action Check the size of the global pool compared to the number of inside network clients. A PAT address may be necessary. Alternatively, shorten the timeout interval of translates and connections. This error message could also be caused by insufficient memory; reduce the amount of memory usage, or purchase additional memory usage if possible.
202005
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-202005: Non-embryonic in embryonic list outside_address/outside_port inside_address/inside_portExplanation This is a connection-related message. This message is displayed when a connection object (xlate) is in the wrong list.
Recommended Action Contact the Cisco TAC.
202011
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-202011: Connection limit exceeded econns/limit for dir packet from source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port on interface interface_nameExplanation This message is displayed when an attempt to create a TCP or UDP connection fails due to an exceeded connection limit which is configured with the set connection conn-max MPC command for a traffic class.
•

Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-208005: (function:line_num) clear command return codeExplanation The security appliance received a nonzero value (an internal error) when attempting to clear the configuration in Flash memory. The message includes the reporting subroutine filename and line number.
Recommended Action For performance reasons, the end host should be configured to not inject IP fragments. This configuration change is probably due to NFS. Set the read and write size equal to the interface MTU for NFS.
209003
Error Message %PIX|ASA-4-209003: Fragment database limit of number exceeded: src = source_address, dest = dest_address, proto = protocol, id = numberExplanation Too many IP fragments are currently awaiting reassembly. By default, the maximum number of fragments is 200 (refer to the fragment size command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference to raise the maximum). The security appliance limits the number of IP fragments that can be concurrently reassembled. This restriction prevents memory depletion at the security appliance under abnormal network conditions. In general, fragmented traffic should be a small percentage of the total traffic mix. An exception is in a network environment with NFS over UDP where a large percentage is fragmented traffic; if this type of traffic is relayed through the security appliance, consider using NFS over TCP instead. To prevent fragmentation, see the sysopt connection tcpmss bytes command in the Cisco Security Appliance 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 %PIX|ASA-4-209004: Invalid IP fragment, size = bytes exceeds maximum size = bytes: src = source_address, dest = dest_address, proto = protocol, id = numberExplanation 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's administrator or upstream provider.
209005
Error Message %PIX|ASA-4-209005: Discard IP fragment set with more than number elements: src = Too many elements are in a fragment set.Explanation The security appliance disallows any IP packet that is fragmented into more than 24 fragments. Refer to the fragment command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information.
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 %PIX|ASA-3-210001: LU sw_module_name error = numberExplanation A Stateful Failover error occurred.
Recommended Action If this error persists after traffic lessens through the security appliance, report this error to Cisco TAC.
210002
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-210002: LU allocate block (bytes) failed.Explanation Stateful Failover could not allocate a block of memory to transmit stateful information to the standby security appliance.
Recommended Action Check the failover interface using the show interface command to make sure its transmit is normal. Also check the current block memory using the show block command. If current available count is 0 within any of the blocks of memory, then reload the security appliance software to recover the lost blocks of memory.
210003
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-210003: Unknown LU Object numberExplanation Stateful Failover received an unsupported Logical Update object and therefore was unable to process it. This could 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. Check for misconfigured clients.

210011
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-210011: Connection limit exceeded cnt/limit for dir packet from sip/sport to dip/dport on interface if_name.Explanation This syslog message indicates that establishing a new connection through the security appliance will result in exceeding at least one of the configured maximum connection limits. The syslog 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 security appliance until one of the existing connections are torn down, thereby bringing 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 IP address
•
sport—Source port
•
dip—Destination IP address
•
dport—Destination port
•
if_name—Name of the interface on which we received the traffic unit, either "Primary" or "Secondary."
Recommended Action Because connection limits are configured for a good reason, this syslog message could indicate a possible DOS attack, in which case the source of the traffic could likely be a spoofed IP address. 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 would help in isolating unwanted traffic from legitimate traffic.
210020
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-210020: LU PAT port port reserve failedExplanation Stateful Failover is unable to allocate a specific PAT address which is in use.
Recommended Action Enter the write standby command on the active unit to synchronize system memory between the active and standby units.

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 %PIX|ASA-3-305006: {outbound static|identity|portmap|regular) translation creation failed for protocol src interface_name:source_address/source_port dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_portExplanation A protocol (UDP, TCP, or ICMP) failed to create a translation through the security appliance. This message appears as a fix to caveat CSCdr00663 that requested that security appliance not allow packets that are destined for network or broadcast addresses. The security appliance provides this checking for addresses that are explicitly identified with static command statements. With the change, for inbound traffic, the security appliance denies translations for a destined IP address identified as a network or broadcast address.
The security appliance does not apply PAT to all ICMP message types; it only applies PAT ICMP echo and echo-reply packets (types 8 and 0). Specifically, only ICMP echo or echo-reply packets create a PAT xlate. So, when the other ICMP messages types are dropped, syslog message 305006 (on the security appliance) is generated.
The security appliance utilizes the global IP and mask from configured static command statements to differ 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 security appliance does not create a translation for network or broadcast IP addresses with inbound packets.
For example:
static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.1.1.128 netmask 255.255.255.128
Global address 10.2.2.128 is responded to as a network address and 10.2.2.255 is responded to as the broadcast address. Without an existing translation, security appliance denies inbound packets destined for 10.2.2.128 or 10.2.2.255, and logs this syslog message.
When the suspected IP is a host IP, configure a separated static command statement with a host mask in front of the subnet static (first match rule for static command statements). The following static causes the security appliance to respond to 10.2.2.128 as a host address:
static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.2.2.128 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (inside,outside) 10.2.2.128 10.2.2.128 netmask 255.255.255.128The translation may be created by traffic started with the inside host with the questioned IP address. Because the security appliance views a network or broadcast IP address as a host IP address with overlapped subnet static configuration, the network address translation for both static command statements must be the same.
Recommended Action None required.
305007
Error Message %PIX|ASA-6-305007: addrpool_free(): Orphan IP IP_address on interface interface_numberExplanation The security appliance has attempted to translate an address that it cannot find in any of its global pools.

Recommended Action None required.
305008
Error Message %PIX|ASA-3-305008: Free unallocated global IP address.Explanation The security appliance kernel detected an inconsistency condition when trying to free an unallocated global IP address back to the address pool. This abnormal condition may occur if the security appliance is running a Stateful Failover setup and some of the internal states are momentarily out of synchronization between the active unit and the standby unit. This condition is not catastrophic, and the sync recovers automatically.

Error Message %PIX|ASA-4-308002: static global_address inside_address netmask netmask overlapped with global_address inside_addressExplanation 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.
