Not much of a post but link to the Cisco site stating how much Netflow loads the Cisco routers: Netflow data sheet I, personally, do a lot of Netflow monitoring and can say that on unloaded routers , passing 2-5 mbits/sec of traffic, the additional load will be some 1-2 …

While the reason for me getting involved with this ASA 5510 module is of less interest (client was getting notification message " LogServer has recently stopped on InterScan for CSC SSM" , more about that at the end of the post) , the module itself looks cute , so I bring here some output …
Cisco gear has a well-known behaviour pattern that when you telnet to some weird and closed port on Cisco you get the uniform response of “Connection refused” . To add more precision it happens when a terminal line management access is enabled on the Cisco but your IP is not in …
Group locking, as Cisco call it, has been available since ancient IOS 12.2(13)T (circa 2003) and still – most of the set ups I see of clients’ VPN servers at most use different VPN groups for different privilege access requirements and blissfully ignore the fact that all it …
I don’t know who to blame – me for not being attentive or Cisco documentation for being vague, but when I read about snmp-map inspection that allows you to block selectively by SNMP version I decided it was the way to protect ASA itself from such queries. And only with …
This article is all about SNMP in ASA. ASA has much less configuration options than IOS does, and this is good. Starting version 8.2 ASA supports version 3 of the SNMP protocol which adds new security model to the whole SNMP stack. But first we will start with old …
SLA monitoring is finally here. What is it useful for ? To add/remove dynamically routes in ASA depending on results of the SLA status. Below is configuration steps but while there are many words in the command itself there are not much options there , so the command is long but …
