  • Cisco ASA 5505 from Factory Default to Static Address and defined inside subnet

    I have been playing with an ASA 5505 lately. I wanted the ability to start fresh when I could not figure things out. I came up with the following commands to cut and paste into the console, allowing me to “Start over”. First I reset to factory default and set the internal subnet range You…

  • Problems with SharePoint 2010 menus and javascript using a Cisco WebVPN (ASA)

    We noticed that the SharePoint 2010 menus were not working with our Cisco ASA’s WebVPN. If the top level menu had children, they would not show on hover. Then we started noticing that all jQuery based functions stopped working. It seemed that much of the Javascript used with SharePoint 2010 would not work with our…

  • How to setup a remote syslog server in CentOS 6

    I wanted to have a cisco device send it’s logs to a Centos box for troubleshooting. I just wanted to do a “tail -f” against the error logs. Seems that syslog is now rsyslog in Centos 6. To setup rsyslog to accept syslog logs from other devices, you need to: 1. uncomment out the following…

  • Cisco ASA and smart tunnels – my experience on OS X 10.7

    I have been playing with smart tunnels on my Cisco ASA. The documentation is a little scarce on examples, so I thought I would post what I have found. On OS X, not much appears to work (I only tried with Safari). Maybe this post will help someone, or they will post a comment on…

  • On demand iPhone vpn connection to a Cisco ASA

    This was a proof of concept that I worked on with @xrobx99. Thanks @xrobx99 for your help. We were interested in how our users could access SharePoint behind our firewall on their mobile devices. We currently have an Cisco ASA in front of our organization. Idea is this: user receives an email notification from SharePoint that…

  • Cisco ASA memory issues – disable webvpn cache may fix?

    The credit for this article goes to @xrobx99. I wanted to blog about his discovery so that others might find the solution quicker. We have an Cisco ASA that we had to reboot every month because the memory would keep growing. We thought it was a memory leak (and it may have been in previous…

  • Cisco ASA: tunnel-group commands and Connection Profiles

    I have to say, it is difficult to learn Cisco products.  I have been hacking away at my new Cisco ASA 5505, and it is not easy. One of the toughest things is that the ASDM displays the configuration one way, but when you look at the config, it is completely different. For example, ASDM…

  • Cisco ASA hacking – Getting started

    My wife (Team Murphy’s CFO) allowed me to purchase a Cisco ASA 5505 for home. We use ASAs at work, and I am interested in how we can leverage these devices to their fullest. I am new to Cisco and to their IOS (the original IOS). I was impressed, the 5505 was easy to setup,…

  • Force the Light Version of Exchange 2010 OWA on a Cisco ASA WebVPN with SSO

    We have a Cisco ASA in front of our Exchange 2010 OWA application. We needed to create a “bookmark” to point to OWA. Since we are using Forms based authentication, we did not want users to have to re-login after just logging into the ASA. I found this link on how to setup the Bookmark…

  • Using a MacBook to connect to a Cisco router

    We have a “USBG-232MINI” USB to Serial adapter and I needed to connect to a Cisco router. GNU screen to the rescue!! The command is screen /dev/tty.usbserial-A9005yuF 9600 (Where A9005yuF is probably unique) And to exit hit Control+A then K.
