same-security-traffic

To permit communication between interfaces with equal security levels, or to allow traffic to enter and exit the same interface, use the same-security-traffic command in global configuration mode. To disable the same-security traffic, use the no form of this command.

same-security-traffic permit {inter-interface | intra-interface}

no same-security-traffic permit {inter-interface | intra-interface}

Syntax Description

inter-interface

Permits communication between different interfaces that have the same security level.

intra-interface

Permits communication in and out of the same interface.


Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

7.0(1)

This command was introduced.

7.2(1)

The intra-interface keyword now allows all traffic to enter and exit the same interface, and not just IPSec traffic.


Usage Guidelines

Allowing communication between same security interfaces (enabled by the same-security-traffic inter-interface command) provides the following benefits:

You can configure more than 101 communicating interfaces. If you use different levels for each interface, you can configure only one interface per level (0 to 100).

You can allow traffic to flow freely between all same security interfaces without access lists.

The same-security-traffic intra-interface command lets traffic enter and exit the same interface, which is normally not allowed. This feature might be useful for VPN traffic that enters an interface, but is then routed out the same interface. The VPN traffic might be unencrypted in this case, or it might be reencrypted for another VPN connection. For example, if you have a hub and spoke VPN network, where the security appliance is the hub, and remote VPN networks are spokes, for one spoke to communicate with another spoke, traffic must go into the security appliance and then out again to the other spoke.


Note All traffic allowed by the same-security-traffic intra-interface command is still subject to firewall rules. Be careful not to create an asymmetric routing situation that can cause return traffic not to traverse the security appliance.


Examples

The following example shows how to enable the same-security interface communication:

hostname(config)# same-security-traffic permit inter-interface

The following example shows how to enable traffic to enter and exit the same interface:

hostname(config)# same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

sasl-mechanism

To specify a SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) mechanism for authenticating an LDAP client to an LDAP server, use the sasl-mechanism command in aaa-server host configuration mode. The SASL authentication mechanism options are digest-md5 and kerberos.

To disable an authentication mechanism, use the no form of this command.

sasl-mechanism {digest-md5 | kerberos server-group-name}

no sasl-mechanism {digest-md5 | kerberos server-group-name}


Note Because the security appliance serves as a client proxy to the LDAP server for VPN users, the LDAP client referred to here is the security appliance.


Syntax Description

Syntax DescriptionSyntax Description

digest-md5

The security appliance responds with an MD5 value computed from the username and password.

kerberos

The security appliance responds by sending the username and realm using the GSSAPI (Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface) Kerberos mechanism.

server-group-name

Specifies the Kerberos aaa-server group, up to 64 characters.


Defaults

No default behavior or values. The security appliance passes the authentication parameters to the LDAP server in plain text.


Note We recommend that you secure LDAP communications with SSL using the ldap-over-ssl command if you have not configured SASL.

Modification

7.1(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify security appliance authentication to an LDAP server using SASL mechanisms.

Both the security appliance and the LDAP server can support multiple SASL authentication mechanisms. When negotiating SASL authentication, the security appliance retrieves the list of SASL mechanisms configured on the server and sets the authentication mechanism to the strongest mechanism configured on both the security appliance and the server. The Kerberos mechanism is stronger than the Digest-MD5 mechanism. To illustrate, if both the LDAP server and the security appliance support both mechanisms, the security appliance selects Kerberos, the stronger of the mechanisms.

When disabling the SASL mechanisms, you must enter a separate no command for each mechanism you want to disable because they are configured independently. Mechanisms that you do not specifically disable remain in effect. For example, you must enter both of the following commands to disable both SASL mechanisms:

no sasl-mechanism digest-md5

no sasl-mechanism kerberos <server-group-name>

Examples

The following examples, entered in aaa-server host configuration mode, enable the SASL mechanisms for authentication to an LDAP server named ldapsvr1 with an IP address of 10.10.0.1. This example enables the SASL digest-md5 authentication mechanism:

hostname(config)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 protocol ldap
hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 host 10.10.0.1
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# sasl-mechanism digest-md5


The following example enables the SASL Kerberos authentication mechanism and specifies kerb-servr1 as the Kerberos AAA server:

hostname(config)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 protocol ldap
hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 host 10.10.0.1
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# sasl-mechanism kerberos kerbsvr1

Command History

Modification

7.0(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Assigning a primary or secondary priority to a failover group specifies which unit the failover group becomes active on when both units boot simulataneously (within a unit polltime). If one unit boots before the other, then both failover groups become active on that unit. When the other unit comes online, any failover groups that have the second unit as a priority do not become active on the second unit unless the failover group is configured with the preempt command or is manually forced to the other unit with the no failover active command.

Examples

The following example configures failover group 1 with the primary unit as the higher priority and failover group 2 with the secondary unit as the higher priority. Both failover groups are configured with the preempt command, so the groups will automatically become active on their preferred unit as the units become available.

hostname(config)# failover group 1 
hostname(config-fover-group)# primary
hostname(config-fover-group)# preempt 100
hostname(config-fover-group)# exit
hostname(config)# failover group 2
hostname(config-fover-group)# secondary
hostname(config-fover-group)# preempt 100
hostname(config-fover-group)# mac-address e1 0000.a000.a011 0000.a000.a012

user-authentication

Requires users behind a hardware client to identify themselves to the security appliance before connecting.


security-level

To set the security level of an interface, use the security-level command in interface configuration mode. To set the security level to the default, use the no form of this command. The security level protects higher security networks from lower security networks by imposing additional protection between the two.

security-level number

no security-level

Syntax Description

number

An integer between 0 (lowest) and 100 (highest).


Defaults

By default, the security level is 0.

If you name an interface "inside" and you do not set the security level explicitly, then the security appliance sets the security level to 100 (see the nameif command). You can change this level if desired.

Command History

Modification

7.0(1)

This command was moved from a keyword of the nameif command to an interface configuration mode command.


Usage Guidelines

The level controls the following behavior:

Network access—By default, there is an implicit permit from a higher security interface to a lower security interface (outbound). Hosts on the higher security interface can access any host on a lower security interface. You can limit access by applying an access list to the interface.

For same security interfaces, there is an implicit permit for interfaces to access other interfaces on the same security level or lower.

Inspection engines—Some inspection engines are dependent on the security level. For same security interfaces, inspection engines apply to traffic in either direction.

NetBIOS inspection engine—Applied only for outbound connections.

OraServ inspection engine—If a control connection for the OraServ port exists between a pair of hosts, then only an inbound data connection is permitted through the security appliance.

Filtering—HTTP(S) and FTP filtering applies only for outbound connections (from a higher level to a lower level).

For same security interfaces, you can filter traffic in either direction.

NAT control—When you enable NAT control, you must configure NAT for hosts on a higher security interface (inside) when they access hosts on a lower security interface (outside).

Without NAT control, or for same security interfaces, you can choose to use NAT between any interface, or you can choose not to use NAT. Keep in mind that configuring NAT for an outside interface might require a special keyword.

established command—This command allows return connections from a lower security host to a higher security host if there is already an established connection from the higher level host to the lower level host.

For same security interfaces, you can configure established commands for both directions.

Normally, interfaces on the same security level cannot communicate. If you want interfaces on the same security level to communicate, see the same-security-traffic command. You might want to assign two interfaces to the same level and allow them to communicate if you want to create more than 101 communicating interfaces, or you want protection features to be applied equally for traffic between two interfaces; for example, you have two departments that are equally secure.

If you change the security level of an interface, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to time out before the new security information is used, you can clear the connections using the clear local-host command.

Examples

The following example configures the security levels for two interfaces to be 100 and 0:

hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/0
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown
hostname(config-if)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
hostname(config-if)# nameif outside

Usage Guidelines

The security appliance supports LDAP version 3 and is compatible with the Sun Microsystems JAVA System Directory Server, the Microsoft Active Directory, and other LDAPv3 directory servers.


NoteSun—The DN configured on the security appliance to access a Sun directory server must be able to access the default password policy on that server. We recommend using the directory administrator, or a user with directory administrator privileges, as the DN. Alternatively, you can place an ACI on the default password policy.

Microsoft—You must configure LDAP over SSL to enable password management with Microsoft Active Directory.

Generic—Password management features are not supported.


By default, the security appliance auto-detects whether it is connected to a Microsoft directory server, a Sun LDAP directory server, or a generic LDAPv3 server. However, if auto-detection fails to determine the LDAP server type and if you know the server is either a Microsoft or Sun server, you can use the server-type command to manually configure the server as either a Microsoft or a Sun Microsystems LDAP server.

Examples

The following example, entered in aaa-server host configuration mode, configures the server type for the LDAP server ldapsvr1 at IP address 10.10.0.1. The first example configures a Sun Microsystems LDAP server.

hostname(config)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 protocol ldap
hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 host 10.10.0.1
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# server-type sun

The following example specifies that the security appliance use auto-detection to determine the server type:

hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldapsvr1 host 10.10.0.1
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# server-type auto-detect

service

To enable resets for denied TCP connections, use the service command in global configuration mode. To disable resets, use the no form of this command.

service {resetinbound [interface interface_name] | resetoutbound [interface interface_name] | resetoutside}

no service {resetinbound [interface interface_name] | resetoutbound [interface interface_name] | resetoutside}

Syntax Description

interface interface_name

Enables or disables resets for the specified interface.

resetinbound

Sends TCP resets for all inbound TCP sessions that attempt to transit the security appliance and are denied by the security appliance based on access lists or AAA settings. Traffic between same security level interfaces is also affected. When this option is not enabled, the security appliance silently discards denied packets. If you do not specify an interface, then this setting applies to all interfaces.

resetoutbound

Sends TCP resets for all outbound TCP sessions that attempt to transit the security appliance and are denied by the security appliance based on access lists or AAA settings. Traffic between same security level interfaces is also affected. When this option is not enabled, the security appliance silently discards denied packets. This option is enabled by default. You might want to disable outbound resets to reduce the CPU load during traffic storms, for example.

resetoutside

Enables resets for TCP packets that terminate at the least secure interface and are denied by the security appliance based on access lists or AAA settings. When this option is not enabled, the security appliance silently discards the packets of denied packets. We recommend that you use the resetoutside keyword with interface PAT. This keyword allows the security appliance to terminate the IDENT from an external SMTP or FTP server. Actively resetting these connections avoids the 30-second timeout delay.


Defaults

By default, service resetoutbound is enabled for all interfaces.

Usage Guidelines

You might want to explicitly send resets for inbound traffic if you need to reset identity request (IDENT) connections. When you send a TCP RST (reset flag in the TCP header) to the denied host, the RST stops the incoming IDENT process so that you do not have to wait for IDENT to time out. Waiting for IDENT to time out can cause traffic to slow because outside hosts keep retransmitting the SYN until the IDENT times out, so the service resetinbound command might improve performance.

Examples

The following example disables outbound resets for all interfaces except for the inside interface:

hostname(config)# no service resetoutbound
hostname(config)# service resetoutbound interface inside

The following example enables inbound resets for all interfaces except for the DMZ interface:

hostname(config)# service resetinbound
hostname(config)# no service resetinbound interface dmz

The following example enables resets for connections that terminate on the outside interface:

hostname(config)# service resetoutside

Usage Guidelines

On the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, if you forget the passwords, you can boot the security appliance into ROMMON by pressing the Escape key on the terminal keyboard when prompted during startup. Then set the security appliance to ignore the startup configuration by changing the configuration register (see the config-register command). For example if your configuration register is the default 0x1, then change the value to 0x41 by entering the confreg 0x41 command. After reloading the security appliance, it loads a default configuration, and you can enter privileged EXEC mode using the default passwords. Then load the startup configuration by copying it to the running configuration and reset the passwords. Finally, set the security appliance to boot as before by setting the configuration register to the original setting. For example, enter the config-register 0x1 command in global configuration mode.

On the PIX 500 series security appliance, boot the security appliance into monitor mode by pressing the Escape key on the terminal keyboard when prompted during startup. Then download the PIX password tool to the security appliance, which erases all passwords and aaa authentication commands.

On the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, the no service password-recovery command prevents a user from entering ROMMON with the configuration intact. When a user enters ROMMON, the security appliance prompts the user to erase all Flash file systems. The user cannot enter ROMMON without first performing this erasure. If a user chooses not to erase the Flash file system, the security appliance reloads. Because password recovery depends on using ROMMON and maintaining the existing configuration, this erasure prevents you from recovering a password. However, disabling password recovery prevents unauthorized users from viewing the configuration or inserting different passwords. In this case, to recover the system to an operating state, load a new image and a backup configuration file, if available. The service password-recovery command appears in the configuration file for informational purposes only; when you enter the command at the CLI prompt, the setting is saved in NVRAM. The only way to change the setting is to enter the command at the CLI prompt. Loading a new configuration with a different version of the command does not change the setting. If you disable password recovery when the security appliance is configured to ignore the startup configuration at startup (in preparation for password recovery), then the security appliance changes the setting to boot the startup configuration as usual. If you use failover, and the standby unit is configured to ignore the startup configuration, then the same change is made to the configuration register when the no service password recovery command replicates to the standby unit.

On the PIX 500 series security appliance, the no service password-recovery command forces the PIX password tool to prompt the user to erase all Flash file systems. The user cannot use the PIX password tool without first performing this erasure. If a user chooses not to erase the Flash file system, the security appliance reloads. Because password recovery depends on maintaining the existing configuration, this erasure prevents you from recovering a password. However, disabling password recovery prevents unauthorized users from viewing the configuration or inserting different passwords. In this case, to recover the system to an operating state, load a new image and a backup configuration file, if available.

Examples

The following example disables password recovery for the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance:

hostname(config)# no service password-recovery
WARNING: Executing "no service password-recovery" has disabled the password recovery 
mechanism and disabled access to ROMMON.  The only means of recovering from lost or 
forgotten passwords will be for ROMMON to erase all file systems including configuration 
files and images.  You should make a backup of your configuration and have a mechanism to 
restore images from the ROMMON command line.

The following example disables password recovery for the PIX 500 series security appliance:

hostname(config)# no service password-recovery
WARNING: Saving "no service password-recovery" in the startup-config will disable password 
recovery via the npdisk application.  The only means of recovering from lost or forgotten 
passwords will be for npdisk to erase all file systems including configuration files and 
images.  You should make a backup of your configuration and have a mechanism to restore 
images from the Monitor Mode command line.

The following example for the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance shows when to enter ROMMON at startup and how to complete a password recovery operation.

Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt boot.
Use SPACE to begin boot immediately.

service-policy policymap_name [ global | interface intf ]

no service-policy policymap_name [ global | interface intf ]

Syntax Description

policymap_name

Specifies the policy map name that you configured in the policy-map command. You can only specify a Layer 3/4 policy map, and not an inspection policy map (policy-map type inspect).

global

Applies the policy map to all interfaces.

interface intf

Usage Guidelines

Interface service policies take precedence over the global service policy.

By default, the configuration includes a global policy that matches all default application inspection traffic and applies inspection to the traffic globally. You can only apply one global policy, so if you want to alter the global policy, you need to either edit the default policy or disable it and apply a new one.

The default service policy includes the following command:

service-policy global_policy global

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the inbound_policy policy map on the outside interface:

hostname(config)# service-policy inbound_policy interface outside

The following commands disable the default global policy, and enables a new one called new_global_policy on all other security appliance interfaces:

hostname(config)# no service-policy global_policy global
hostname(config)# service-policy new_global_policy global

set connection

To specify connection values within a policy map for a traffic class, use the set connection command in class configuration mode. Use this command to specify the maximum number of simultaneous connections and to specify whether TCP sequence number randomization is enabled. To remove these specifications, thereby allowing unlimited connections, use the no form of this command.

set connection {[conn-max n] [embryonic-conn-max n] [per-client-embryonic-max n] [per-client-max n] [random-sequence-number {enable | disable}]}

no set connection {[conn-max n] [embryonic-conn-max n] [per-client-embryonic-max n] [per-client-max n] [random-sequence-number {enable | disable}]}

Syntax Description

conn-max n

(Optional) The maximum number of simultaneous TCP and/or UDP connections that are allowed.

disable

Turns off TCP sequence number randomization.

enable

Turns on TCP sequence number randomization.

embryonic-conn-max n

(Optional) The maximum number of simultaneous embryonic connections allowed.

per-client-embryonic-max n

(Optional) The maximum number of simultaneous embryonic connections allowed. This keyword is not available for management class maps.

per-client-max n

(Optional) The maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed per client. This keyword is not available for management class maps.

random-sequence-number

(Optional) Enable or disable TCP sequence number randomization. This keyword is not available for management class maps. Each TCP connection has two ISNs: one generated by the client and one generated by the server. The security appliance randomizes the ISN of the TCP SYN passing in both the inbound and outbound directions.

Randomizing the ISN of the protected host prevents an attacker from predecting the next ISN for a new connection and potentially hijacking the new session.

TCP initial sequence number randomization can be disabled if required. For example:

If another in-line firewall is also randomizing the initial sequence numbers, there is no need for both firewalls to be performing this action, even though this action does not affect the traffic.

If you use eBGP multi-hop through the security appliance, and the eBGP peers are using MD5. Randomization breaks the MD5 checksum.

You use a WAAS device that requires the security appliance not to randomize the sequence numbers of connections.


Defaults

For the conn-max, embryonic-conn-max, per-client-embryonic-max, and per-client-max parameters, the default value of n is 0, which allows unlimited connections.

Sequence number randomization is enabled by default.

8.0(2)

This command is now available for a Layer 3/4 management class map, for to-the-security appliance management traffic. Only the conn-max and embryonic-conn-max keywords are available.


Usage Guidelines

You can set limits for connections that go through the security appliance (see the class-map command), or for management connections to the security appliance (see the class-map type management command).

You can enter this command with multiple parameters or you can enter each parameter as a separate command. The security appliance combines the commands into one line in the running configuration. For example, if you entered the following two commands in Class configuration mode:

hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection conn-max 600
hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection embryonic-conn-max 50

the output of the show running-config policy-map command would display the result of the two commands in a single, combined command:

set connection conn-max 600 embryonic-conn-max 50

The set connection command parameters (conn-max, embryonic-conn-max, per-client-embryonic-max, per-client-max, random-sequence-number) can co-exist with any nat or static command; that is, you can configure connection parameters either through the nat and static commands using max-conn, emb_limit, or noramdomseq keywords, or through the Modular Policy Framework set connection command using conn-max, embryonic-conn-max, per-client-embryonic-max, per-client-max or random-sequence-number parameters. A mixed configuration is not recommended, but if one exists, it behaves in the following ways:

When a traffic class is subject to a connection limit or embryonic connection limit from both the Modular Policy Framework set connection command and the nat or static command, then whichever limit is reached, that limit is applied.

When a TCP traffic class is configured to have sequence number randomization disabled by either the Modular Policy Framework set connection command or the nat or static command, then sequence number randomization is disabled.

Limiting the number of embryonic connections protects you from a DoS attack. The security appliance uses the per-client limits and the embryonic connection limit to trigger TCP Intercept, which protects inside systems from a DoS attack perpetrated by flooding an interface with TCP SYN packets. An embryonic connection is a connection request that has not finished the necessary handshake between source and destination. TCP Intercept uses the SYN cookies algorithm to prevent TCP SYN-flooding attacks. A SYN-flooding attack consists of a series of SYN packets usually originating from spoofed IP addresses. The constant flood of SYN packets keeps the server SYN queue full, which prevents it from servicing connection requests. When the embryonic connection threshold of a connection is crossed, the security appliance acts as a proxy for the server and generates a SYN-ACK response to the client SYN request. When the security appliance receives an ACK back from the client, it can then authenticate the client and allow the connection to the server.

The per-client-embryonic-max and per-client-max parameters limit the maximum number of connections that a client can open. If particular clients use more network resources simultaneously than is desired, you can use these parameters to limit the number of connections that the security appliance will allow specific clients.

By default, TCP management connections have TCP Intercept always enabled. When TCP Intercept is enabled, it intercepts the 3-way TCP connection establishment handshake packets and thus deprives the security appliance from processing the packets for WebVPN. WebVPN requires the ability to process the 3-way handshake packets to provide selective ACK and other TCP options for WebVPN connections. To disable TCP Intercept for management traffic, you can set the embryoinic connection limit; only after the embryonic connection limit is reached is TCP Intercept enabled.

Examples

The following is an example of the use of the set connection command configure the maximum number of simultaneous connections as 256 and to disable TCP sequence number randomization:

hostname(config)# policy-map localpolicy1
hostname(config-pmap)# class local_server
hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection conn-max 256 random-sequence-number disable
hostname(config-pmap-c)# 

The following is an example of the use of the set connection command in a service policy that diverts traffic to a CSC SSM. The set connection command restricts each client whose traffic the CSC SSM scans to a maximum of five connections.

hostname(config)# policy-map csc_policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class local_server
hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection per-client-max 5
hostname(config-pmap-c)# csc fail-close
hostname(config-pmap-c)#

no set connection timeout {tcp <value> [reset]] [half-close <value>] [embryonic <value>] [dcd [<retry-interval> [max-retries]]]}

Syntax Description

dcd

Upon an idle time out, sends DCD probes to the connection end hosts to determine the validity of the connection. When one of the end hosts fails to respond after the configured number of the DCD probes are sent at the configured interval, frees the connection. When both end hosts respond that the connection is valid, updates the activity timout to the current time and reschedules the idle timeout accordingly.

embryonic

Configures absolute time after which an embryonic TCP connection will be closed. Embryonic is a time between 1 and 255, in seconds. You can also set this value to 0, which means the connection never times out.

half-closed

Configures idle time after which a TCP half-closed connection will be freed. Half-closed minutes can be set between 1 and 255, in minutes. You can set the value to 0, which means the connection never times out.

max-retries

Number of consecutive failed retries before declaring the connection as dead. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 255.

reset

Sends a TCP RST packet to both end systems after TCP idle connections are removed.

retry-interval

Time duration in <hh:mm:ss> format to wait between each unresponsive DCD probe. The minimal value is 1 second, and the maximum value is 24 hours.

tcp

The idle time after which an established connection closes.

value

Time between 0:0:5 and 1192:59:59, in hh:mm:ss format. You can also set this value to 0, which means the connection never times out.


Defaults

The default embryonic value is 30 seconds.

The default half-closed value is 10 minutes.

The default max-retries value is 5.

The default retry-interval value is 15 seconds.

The default tcp value is 1 hour.

7.2(1)

Support for DCD was added.


Usage Guidelines

You must have configured the policy-map command and the class command before issuing this command.

A TCP connection for which a three-way handshake is not complete is an embryonic connection. For the embryonic connection timeout value, use 0:0:0 to specify that the connection never times out. Otherwise, the timeout duration must be at least 5 seconds.

When the TCP connection is in the closing state, use the half-closed parameter to configure the length of time until the connection is freed. Use 0:0:0 to specify that the connection never times out. The minimum timeout duration is 5 minutes.

The tcp inactive connection timeout configures the period after which an idle TCP connection in the established state is disconnected. Use 0:0:0 to specify that the connection never times out. The minimum timeout duration is 5 minutes.

The reset keyword is used to send a TCP RST packet to both end systems once an idle TCP connection has timed out. Some applications require a TCP RST after a timeout to perform properly.

Enabling DCD changes the behavior of idle-timeout handling in the TCP normalizer. Dead connection detection (DCD) probing resets the idle timeout on the connections seen in the show conn command. To determine when a connection that has exceeded the configured timeout value in the timeout command but is kept alive due to DCD probing, the show service-policy command includes counters to show the amount of activity from DCD.

Examples

The following example of a set connection timeout command specifies an embryonic connection timeout of two minutes:

Field descriptions for the show aaa-server command are shown below:

Field
Description

Server Group

The server group name specified by the aaa-server command.

Server Protocol

The server protocol for the server group specified by the aaa-server command.

Server Address

The IP address of the AAA server.

Server port

The communication port used by the security appliance and the AAA server. You can specify the RADIUS authentication port using the authentication-port command. You can specify the RADIUS accounting port using the accounting-port command. For non-RADIUS servers, the port is set by the server-port command.

Server status

The status of the server. You see one of the following values:

ACTIVE—The security appliance will communicate with this AAA server.

FAILED—The security appliance cannot communicate with the AAA server. Servers that are put into this state remain there for some period of time, depending on the policy configured, and are then reactivated.

If the status is followed by "(admin initiated)," then the server was manually failed or reactivated using the aaa-server active or fail command.

You also see the date and time of the last transaction in the following form:

Last transaction ({success | failure}) at time timezone 
date

If the security appliance has never communicated with the server, the message shows as the following:

Last transaction at Unknown

Number of pending requests

The number of requests that are still in progress.

Average round trip time

The average time that it takes to complete a transaction with the server.

Number of authentication requests

The number of authentication requests sent by the security appliance. This value does not include retransmissions after a timeout.

Number of authorization requests

The number of authorization requests. This value refers to authorization requests due to command authorization, authorization for through-the-box traffic (for TACACS+ servers), or for WebVPN and IPSec authorization functionality enabled for a tunnel group. This value does not include retransmissions after a timeout

Number of accounting requests

The number of accounting requests. This value does not include retransmissions after a timeout

Number of retransmissions

The number of times a message was retransmitted after an internal timeout. This value applies only to Kerberos and RADIUS servers (UDP)

Number of accepts

The number of successful authentication requests.

Number of rejects

The number of rejected requests. This value includes error conditions as well as true credential rejections from the AAA server.

Number of challenges

The number of times the AAA server required additional information from the user after receiving the initial username and password information.

Number of malformed responses

N/A. Reserved for future use.

Number of bad authenticators

The number of times that one of the following occurs:

The "authenticator" string in the RADIUS packet is corrupted (rare).

The shared secret key on the security appliance does not match the one on the RADIUS server. To fix this problem, enter the proper server key.

This value only applies to RADIUS.

Number of timeouts

The number of times the security appliance has detected that a AAA server is not responsive or otherwise misbehaving and has declared it offline.

Number of unrecognized responses

The number of times that the security appliance received a response from the AAA server that it could not recognize or support. For example, the RADIUS packet code from the server was an unknown type, something other than the known "access-accept," "access-reject," "access-challenge," or "accounting-response" types. Typically, this means that the RADIUS response packet from the server got corrupted, which is rare.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The show activation-key command output indicates the status of the activation key as follows:

If the activation key in the security appliance Flash file system is the same as the activation key running on the security appliance, then the show activation-key output reads as follows:

The flash activation key is the SAME as the running key.

If the activation key in the security appliance Flash file system is different from the activation key running on the security appliance, then the show activation-key output reads as follows:

The flash activation key is DIFFERENT from the running key.
The flash activation key takes effect after the next reload. 

If you downgrade your activation key, the display shows that the running key (the old key) differs from the key that is stored in the Flash (the new key). When you restart, the security appliance uses the new key.

If you upgrade your key to enable extra features, the new key starts running immediately without a restart.

For the PIX Firewall platform, if there is any change in the failover feature (R/UR/FO) between the new key and the old key, it prompts for confirmation. If the user enters n, it aborts the change; otherwise it updates the key in the Flash file system. When you restart the security appliance uses the new key.

If you downgrade to an earlier release, your key for the current release might allow for more security contexts than the earlier release supports. When the value of the security contexts in the key exceeds the platform limit, the following message appears in the show activation-key output:

The Running Activation Key feature: 50 security contexts exceeds the limit in the 
platform, reduce to 20 security contexts.

If you downgrade to an earlier release, your key for the current release might enable GTP/GPRS even though it is not allowed in the earlier release. When the key enables GTP/GPRS but the software version does not allow it, the following message appears in the show activation-key output:

The Running Activation Key feature: GTP/GPRS is not allowed in the platform, disable 
GTP/GPRS.

Examples

This example shows how to display the commands in the configuration for features that are enabled by your activation key:

hostname(config)# show activation-key

Usage Guidelines

Each active ASDM session has one or more associated ASDM logging sessions. ASDM uses the logging session to retrieve syslog messages from the security appliance. Each ASDM logging session is assigned a unique session ID. You can use this session ID with the asdm disconnect log_session command to terminate the specified session.


Note Because each ASDM session has at least one ASDM logging session, the output for the show asdm sessions and show asdm log_sessions may appear to be the same.


Examples

The following is sample output from the show asdm log_sessions command:

hostname# show asdm log_sessions

0 192.168.1.1
1 192.168.1.2
