Recommended Action Connect the failover cable to both units of the failover pair.

1-3
101005
Error Message %ASA-1-101005: (Primary) Error reading failover cable status.
Explanation The failover cable is connected, but the primary unit is unable to determine its status.
Recommended Action Replace the cable.
103001
Error Message %ASA-1-103001: (Primary) No response from other firewall (reason

code = code).
Explanation The primary unit is unable to communicate with the secondary unit over the failover
cable. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit. Table 1-2 lists the reason
codes and the descriptions to determine why the failover occurred.
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.
Explanation The primary unit has detected that the network interface on the secondary unit is okay.
Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

1-4
103003
Error Message %ASA-1-103003: (Primary) Other firewall network interface

interface_number failed.
Explanation The primary unit has detected a bad network interface on the secondary unit. Primary
can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.
Recommended Action Check the network connections on the secondary unit and the network hub
connection. If necessary, replace the failed network interface.
103004
Error Message %ASA-1-103004: (Primary) Other firewall reports this firewall failed.
Reason: reason-string
Explanation The primary unit received a message from the secondary unit indicating that the primary
unit has failed. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit. The reason can be
one of the following:
• Missed poll packets on failover command interface exceeded threshold.
• LAN failover interface failed.
• Peer failed to enter Standby Ready state.
• Failed to complete configuration replication. This firewall's configuration may be out of sync.
• Failover message transmit failure and no ACK for busy condition received.
Recommended Action Verify the status of the primary unit.
103005
Error Message %ASA-1-103005: (Primary) Other firewall reporting failure. Reason: SSM
card failure
Explanation The secondary unit has reported an SSM card failure to the primary unit. Primary can
also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

1-5
103006
Error Message %ASA-1-103006: (Primary|Secondary) Mate version ver_num is not

compatible with ours ver_num
Explanation The ASA has detected a peer unit that is running a version that is different than the local
unit and is not compatible with the HA Hitless Upgrade feature.
• ver_num—Version number
Recommended Action Install the same or a compatible version image on both units.
103007
Error Message %ASA-1-103007: (Primary|Secondary) Mate version ver_num is not

identical with ours ver_num
Explanation The ASA has detected that the peer unit is running a version that is not identical, but
supports Hitless Upgrade and is compatible with the local unit. The system performance may be
degraded because the image version is not identical, and the ASA may develop a stability issue if
the nonidentical image runs for an extended period.
• ver_num—Version number
Recommended Action Install the same image version on both units as soon as possible.
104001, 104002
Error Message %ASA-1-104001: (Primary) Switching to ACTIVE (cause: string).
Error Message %ASA-1-104002: (Primary) Switching to STANDBY (cause: string).
Explanation You have forced the failover pair to switch roles, either by entering the failover active
command on the standby unit, or the no failover active command on the active unit. Primary can
also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit. Possible values for the string variable are as
follows:
• state check
• bad/incomplete config
• ifc [interface] check, mate is healthier
• the other side wants me to standby
• in failed state, cannot be active
• switch to failed state

1-6
• other unit set to active by CLI config command fail active
Recommended Action If the message occurs because of manual intervention, no action is required.
Otherwise, use the cause reported by the secondary unit to verify the status of both units of the pair.
104003
Error Message %ASA-1-104003: (Primary) Switching to FAILED.

Explanation A previously failed unit reports that it is operating again. Primary can also be listed as
105001
Error Message %ASA-1-105001: (Primary) Disabling failover.
Explanation In version 7.x and later, this message may indicate the following: failover has been
automatically disabled because of a mode mismatch (single or multiple), a license mismatch
(encryption or context), or a hardware difference (one unit has an IPS SSM installed, and its peer
has a CSC SSM installed). Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.
105002
Error Message %ASA-1-105002: (Primary) Enabling failover.
Explanation You have used the failover command with no arguments on the console, after having
previously disabled failover. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.

1-7
105003
Error Message %ASA-1-105003: (Primary) Monitoring on interface interface_name

waiting
Explanation The ASA is testing the specified network interface with the other unit of the failover
pair. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.
Recommended Action None required. The ASA monitors its network interfaces frequently during
normal operation.
105004
Error Message %ASA-1-105004: (Primary) Monitoring on interface interface_name normal
Explanation The test of the specified network interface was successful. Primary can also be listed as
105005
Error Message %ASA-1-105005: (Primary) Lost Failover communications with mate on

interface interface_name.
Explanation One unit of the failover pair can no longer communicate with the other unit of the pair.
Recommended Action Verify that the network connected to the specified interface is functioning
correctly.
105006, 105007
Error Message %ASA-1-105006: (Primary) Link status Up on interface interface_name.
Error Message %ASA-1-105007: (Primary) Link status Down on interface interface_name.
Explanation The results of monitoring the link status of the specified interface have been reported.
Recommended Action If the link status is down, verify that the network connected to the specified
interface is operating correctly.

1-8
105008
Error Message %ASA-1-105008: (Primary) Testing interface interface_name.
Explanation Testing of a specified network interface has occurred. This testing is performed only if
the ASA fails to receive a message from the standby unit on that interface after the expected interval.
105009
Error Message %ASA-1-105009: (Primary) Testing on interface interface_name

{Passed|Failed}.
Explanation The result (either Passed or Failed) of a previous interface test has been reported.
Recommended Action None required if the result is Passed. If the result is Failed, you should check
the network cable connection to both failover units, that the network itself is functioning correctly,
and verify the status of the standby unit.
105010
Error Message %ASA-3-105010: (Primary) Failover message block alloc failed
Explanation Block memory was depleted. This is a transient message and the ASA should recover.
Recommended Action Use the show blocks command to monitor the current block memory.
105011
Error Message %ASA-1-105011: (Primary) Failover cable communication failure
Explanation The failover cable is not permitting communication between the primary and secondary
units. Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary unit.
Recommended Action Ensure that the cable is connected correctly.

1-9
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
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
Explanation The LAN failover interface link is up.
105032
Error Message %ASA-1-105032: LAN Failover interface is down
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.

1-10
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.
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.

1-11
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
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 interface used to send failover messages to the secondary ASA is functioning.
Primary can also be listed as Secondary for the secondary ASA.
105043
Error Message %ASA-1-105043: (Primary) Failover interface failed
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:

1-14
• 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
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.
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.

1-15
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.

1-16
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.
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

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.

1-17
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.
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.

1-18
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.

1-19
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

Error Message %ASA-6-106026: Failed to determine the security context for the
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.
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.

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.

1-21
• 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.
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
106102

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.
106103
Error Message %ASA-4-106103: access-list acl_ID denied protocol for user username

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

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.
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.

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

1-33
• 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.

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
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

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.

109103
Error Message %ASA-3-109103: CoA action-type from coa-source-ip failed for user
username, with session ID: audit-session-id.
Explanation The ASA has received a correctly formatted change of authorization request, but was
unable to process it successfully.
Recommended Action Investigate the relevant VPN subsystem logs to determine why the updated
attributes could not be applied or why the session could not be terminated.
109104
Error Message %ASA-3-109104: CoA action-type from coa-source-ip failed for user
username, session ID: audit-session-id. Action not supported.
Explanation The ASA has received a correctly formatted change of authorization request, but did not

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.

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

1-81
• 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
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.

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.

1-85
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.

1-86
210008
Error Message %ASA-3-210008: LU no xlate for inside_address/inside_port

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

1-87
• 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.
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
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.

1-88
211001
Error Message %ASA-3-211001: Memory allocation Error
Explanation The ASA failed to allocate RAM system memory.

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.
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.
• ver—Running image version number
• min—Minimum required amount of RAM to run the installed image. The available memory
upgrade PID numbers are as follows:
ASA5505-MEM-512=
ASA5510-MEM-1GB=
ASA5520-MEM-2GB=
ASA5540-MEM-2GB=
• actual—Amount of RAM currently installed in the system
Recommended Action Install the required amount of RAM. Use the memory upgrade PID numbers to
order the required amount of RAM.

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.

1-90
• 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.
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.

1-91
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

1-92
- 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.

1-93
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.

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.
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

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

1-96
• 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
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
• line_num—Line number in the code

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 The standby unit in a failover pair deleted a connection because of a message
closed received from the active unit.
FIN Timeout Force termination after 10 minutes awaiting the last ACK or after half-closed
timeout.
Flow closed by Flow was terminated by the inspection feature.

Flow terminated by Flow was terminated by IPS.

Flow reset by IPS Flow was reset by IPS.
Flow terminated by Flow was terminated by TCP Intercept.
TCP Intercept
Flow timed out Flow has timed out.
Flow timed out with Flow has timed out, but was reset.
reset
Flow is a loopback Flow is a loopback.
Free the flow created The connection was built because the packet tracer feature sent a simulated
as result of packet packet through the ASA.
injection
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 The connection was terminated because of a bad TCP retransmission.

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:
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.

Error Message %ASA-6-305007: addrpool_free(): Orphan IP IP_address on interface

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.

was nonzero. Another RIP device may not be configured correctly to communicate with the ASA.
313001
Error Message %ASA-3-313001: Denied ICMP type=number, code=code from IP_address on

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.

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.

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

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.

{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.

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.

• Version not supported
Recommended Action If this message is seen periodically, it can be ignored. If it is seen frequently,
then the endpoint may be sending out bad packets as part of an attack.
324002
Error Message %ASA-3-324002: No PDP[MCB] exists to process GTPv0 msg_type from

dest_interface:dest_address/dest_port, TID: tid_value
Explanation If this message was preceded by message 321100, memory allocation error, the message
indicates that there were not enough resources to create the PDP context. If not, it was not preceded
by message 321100. For version 0, it indicates that the corresponding PDP context cannot be found.
For version 1, if this message was preceded by message 324001, then a packet processing error
occurred, and the operation stopped.

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—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.

record of shunning activity was allowed.
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.

1-194
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.

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_num—IPsec sequence number
• remote_IP—IP address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel
• username—Username associated with the IPsec tunnel
• local_IP—IP 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.
• act_prot—Received IPsec protocol

1-195
• exp_prot—Expected IPsec protocol
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the peer.
402116

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.
• pkt_daddr—Destination address from the decapsulated packet
• pkt_saddr—Source address from the decapsulated packet
• pkt_prot—Transport protocol from the decapsulated packet
• id_daddr—Local proxy IP address
• id_dmask—Local proxy IP subnet mask
• id_dprot—Local proxy transport protocol
• id_dport—Local proxy port
• id_saddr—Remote proxy IP address
• id_smask—Remote proxy IP subnet mask
• id_sprot—Remote proxy transport protocol
• id_sport—Remote proxy port
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the peer and compare policy settings.

1-196
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
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the peer to compare policy settings.
402118

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
• frag_len—IP fragment length
• frag_offset—IP fragment offset in bytes
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the remote peer to compare policy settings.

1-197
402119

number=seq_num) from remote_IP (username) to local_IP that failed anti-replay
checking.
Explanation An IPsec packet was received with an invalid sequence number. The peer is sending
packets including sequence numbers that may have been previously used. This message indicates
that an IPsec packet has been received with a sequence number outside of the acceptable window.
This packet will be dropped by IPsec as part of a possible attack. This message is rate limited to no
more than one message every five seconds.
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the peer.
402120

number=seq_num) from remote_IP (username) to local_IP that failed authentication.
Explanation An IPsec packet was received and failed authentication. The packet is dropped. The
packet may have been corrupted in transit, or the peer may be sending invalid IPsec packets, which
may indicate an attack if many of these packets were received from the same peer. This message is
rate limited to no more than one message every five seconds.
Recommended Action Contact the administrator of the remote peer if many failed packets were
received.

1-198
402121

number=seq_num) from peer_addr (username) to lcl_addr that was dropped by IPsec
(drop_reason).
Explanation An IPsec packet to be decapsulated was received and subsequently dropped by the IPsec
subsystem. This may indicate a problem with the ASA configuration or with the ASA itself.
• peer_addr—IP address of the remote endpoint of the tunnel
• lcl_addr—IP address of the local endpoint of the tunnel
• drop_reason—Reason that the packet was dropped
402122
Error Message %ASA-4-402122: Received a cleartext packet from src_addr to dest_addr

that was to be encapsulated in IPsec that was dropped by IPsec (drop_reason).
Explanation A packet to be encapsulated in IPsec was received and subsequently dropped by the
IPsec subsystem. This may indicate a problem with the ASA configuration or with the ASA itself.
• src_addr—Source IP address
• dest_addr—Destination IP address
• drop_reason—Reason that the packet was dropped
402123

402125
Error Message %ASA-4-402125: The ASA hardware accelerator ring timed out
(parameters).
Explanation The crypto driver has detected that either the IPSEC descriptor ring or SSL/Admin
descriptor ring is no longer progressing, meaning the crypto chip no longer appears to be
functioning. The crypto chip is reset when this condition is detected to unobtrusively allow the ASA
to continue functioning. Also, the crypto environment at the time this issue was detected was written
to a crypto archive directory on flash to provide further debugging information.

Archive File as the maximum # of files, max_number, allowed have been written to
archive_directory. Please archive & remove files from Archive Directory if you
want more Crypto Archive Files saved.
Explanation A functional problem with the hardware crypto chip was detected (see messages
4402124 and 4402125). This message indicates a crypto archive file was not written, because the
maximum number of crypto archive files already existed.
• max_number—Maximum number of files allowed in the archive directory; currently set to two
• archive_directory—Name of the archive directory
Recommended Action Forward previously generated crypto archive files to the Cisco TAC. Remove
the previously generated archive file(s) so that more can be written (if deemed necessary).

403500
Error Message %ASA-6-403500: PPPoE - Service name 'any' not received in PADO.
Intf:interface_name AC:ac_name.
Explanation The ASA requested the PPPoE service any from the access controller at the Internet
service provider. The response from the service provider includes other services, but does not
include the service any. This is a discrepancy in the implementation of the protocol. The PADO
packet is processed normally, and connection negotiations continue.
403501
Error Message %ASA-3-403501: PPPoE - Bad host-unique in PADO - packet dropped.

Intf:interface_name AC:ac_name
Explanation The ASA sent an identifier called the host-unique value to the access controller. The
access controller responded with a different host-unique value. The ASA was unable to identify the
corresponding connection request for this response. The packet was dropped, and connection
negotiations were discontinued.
Recommended Action Contact the Internet service provider. Either the access controller at the service
provider is mishandling the host-unique value, or the PADO packet is being forged.

provider is mishandling the host-unique value, or the PADO packet is being forged.
403503
Error Message %ASA-3-403503: PPPoE:PPP link down:reason
Explanation The PPP link has gone down. There are many reasons why this can happen. The first
format will display a reason if PPP provides one.
Recommended Action Check the network link to ensure that the link is connected. The access
concentrator may be down. Make sure that your authentication protocol matches the access
concentrator and that your name and password are correct. Verify this information with your ISP or
network support person.
403504
Error Message %ASA-3-403504: PPPoE:No 'vpdn group group_name' for PPPoE is created
Explanation PPPoE requires a dial-out configuration before starting a PPPoE session. In general, the
configuration should specify a dialing policy, the PPP authentication, the username, and a password.
The following example configures the ASA for PPPoE dialout. The my-username and
my-password commands are used to authenticate the access concentrator, using PAP if necessary.
For example:
hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe request dialout pppoe
hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe ppp authentication pap
hostname# vpdn group my-pppoe localname my-username
hostname# vpdn username my-username password my-password
hostname# ip address outside pppoe setroute
Recommended Action Configure a VPDN group for PPPoE.

Recommended Action In the first case, change the address causing the conflict. In the second case,
configure the PPPoE on an interface other than the failover interface.
403507
Error Message %ASA-3-403507: PPPoE:PPPoE client on interface interface failed to

locate PPPoE vpdn group group_name
Explanation You can configure the PPPoE client on an interface to use a particular VPDN group by
entering the pppoe client vpdn group group_name command. If a PPPoE VPDN group of the
configured name was not located during system startup, this message is generated.
• interface—The interface on which the PPPoE client failed
• group_name —The VPDN group name of the PPPoe client on the interface

1. Add the required VPDN group by entering the vpdn group group_name command. Request
dialout PPPoE in global configuration mode, and add all the group properties.
2. Remove the pppoe client vpdn group group_name command from the interface indicated. In
this case, the PPPoE client will attempt to use the first PPPoE VPDN group defined.
Note All changes take effect only after the PPPoE client on the interface is restarted by entering the
ip address pppoe command.

not allowed
Explanation The accounting request came from a host that was not configured in the policy map. The
message is logged and processing stops.
• from_addr—The IP address of the host sending the request
Recommended Action If the host was configured to send RADIUS accounting messages to the ASA,
make sure that it was configured in the correct policy map that was applied to the service policy. If
the host was not configured to send RADIUS accounting messages to the ASA, then check to see
why the messages are being sent. If the messages are illegitimate, then create the proper ACLs to
drop the packets.
405301
Error Message %ASA-4-405301: Attribute attribute_number does not match for user

406001
Error Message %ASA-4-406001: FTP port command low port: IP_address/port to

IP_address on interface interface_name
Explanation A client entered an FTP port command and supplied a port less than 1024 (in the
well-known port range usually devoted to server ports). This is indicative of an attempt to avert the
site security policy. The ASA drops the packet, terminates the connection, and logs the event.
406002
Error Message %ASA-4-406002: FTP port command different address:

IP_address(IP_address) to IP_address on interface interface_name
Explanation A client entered an FTP port command and supplied an address other than the address
used in the connection. An attempt to avert the site security policy occurred. For example, an
attacker might attempt to hijack an FTP session by changing the packet on the way, and putting
different source information instead of the correct source information. The ASA drops the packet,
terminates the connection, and logs the event. The address in parentheses is the address from the
port command.
407001
Error Message %ASA-4-407001: Deny traffic for local-host

interface_name:inside_address, license limit of number exceeded
Explanation The host limit was exceeded. An inside host is counted toward the limit when one of the
following conditions is true:
• The inside host has forwarded traffic through the ASA within the last five minutes.
• The inside host has reserved an xlate connection or user authentication at the ASA.
Recommended Action The host limit is enforced on the low-end platforms. Use the show version
command to view the host limit. Use the show local-host command to view the current active hosts
and the inside users that have sessions at the ASA. To forcefully disconnect one or more users, use
the clear local-host command. To expire the inside users more quickly from the limit, set the xlate,
connection, and uauth timeouts to the recommended values or lower. (See Table 1-6.)

Error Message %ASA-4-407002: Embryonic limit nconns/elimit for through connections

exceeded.outside_address/outside_port to global_address
(inside_address)/inside_port on interface interface_name
Explanation The number of connections from a specified foreign address over a specified global
address to the specified local address exceeded the maximum embryonic limit for that static. The
ASA tries to accept the connection if it can allocate memory for that connection. It proxies on behalf
of the local host and sends a SYN_ACK packet to the foreign host. The ASA retains pertinent state
information, drops the packet, and waits for the acknowledgment from the client. The message
might indicate legitimate traffic or that a DoS attack is in progress.
Recommended Action Check the source address to determine where the packets are coming from and
whether or not a valid host is sending them.
407003
Error Message %ASA-4-407003: Established limit for RPC services exceeded number
Explanation The ASA tried to open a new hole for a pair of RPC servers or services that have already

Error Message %ASA-4-408002: ospf process id route type update address1 netmask1
[distance1/metric1] via source IP:interface1 address2 netmask2
[distance2/metric2] interface2
Explanation A network update was received from a different interface with the same distance and a
better metric than the existing route. The new route overrides the existing route that was installed
through another interface. The new route is for redundancy purposes only and means that a path has
shifted in the network. This change must be controlled through topology and redistribution. Any
existing connections affected by this change are probably disabled and will time out. This path shift
only occurs if the network topology has been specifically designed to support path redundancy, in
which case it is expected.
408003
Error Message %ASA-4-408003: can't track this type of object hex
Explanation A component of the tracking system has encountered an object type that is not supported

412001
Error Message %ASA-4-412001:MAC MAC_address moved from interface_1 to interface_2
Explanation A host move was detected from one module interface to another. In a transparent ASA,
mapping between the host (MAC) and ASA port is maintained in a Layer 2 forwarding table. The
table dynamically binds packet source MAC addresses to an ASA port. In this process, whenever
movement of a host from one interface to another interface is detected, this message is generated.
Recommended Action The host move might be valid or might be an attempt to spoof host MACs on
other interfaces. If it is a MAC spoof attempt, you can either locate vulnerable hosts on your network
and remove them or configure static MAC entries, which will not allow MAC address and port
binding to change. If it is a genuine host move, no action is required.
412002
Error Message %ASA-4-412002:Detected bridge table full while inserting MAC

MAC_address on interface interface. Number of entries = num
Explanation The bridge table was full and an attempt was made to add one more entry. The ASA
maintains a separate Layer 2 forwarding table per context and the message is generated whenever a
context exceeds its size limit. The MAC address will be added, but it will replace the oldest existing
dynamic entry (if available) in the table. This might be an attempted attack.
Recommended Action Make sure that the new bridge table entries are valid. In case of attack, use
EtherType ACLs to control access to vulnerable hosts.

Error Message %ASA-5-500003: Bad TCP hdr length (hdrlen=bytes, pktlen=bytes) from
source_address/source_port to dest_address/dest_port, flags: tcp_flags, on
Explanation A header length in TCP was incorrect. Some operating systems do not handle TCP
resets (RSTs) correctly when responding to a connection request to a disabled socket. If a client tries
to connect to an FTP server outside the ASA and the FTP server is not listening, then it sends an
RST. Some operating systems send incorrect TCP header lengths, which causes this problem. UDP
uses ICMP port unreachable messages.
The TCP header length may indicate that it is larger than the packet length, which results in a
negative number of bytes being transferred. A negative number appears by a message as an unsigned
number, which makes it appear much larger than it would be normally; for example, it may show 4
GB transferred in one second. This message should occur infrequently.

configurations that are causing the referenced inspection and/or filter features that are matched for
the connection. The rules for inspection and filter feature combinations for a connection are as
follows:
– The inspect http [http-policy-map] and/or filter url and/or filter java and/or filter activex
commands are valid.
– The inspect ftp [ftp-policy-map] and/or filter ftp commands are valid.
– The filter https command with any other inspect command or filter command is not valid.

Explanation The MTU of an SA was changed. When a packet is received for an IPsec tunnel, the
corresponding SA is located and the MTU is updated based on the MTU suggested in the ICMP
packet. If the suggested MTU is greater than 0 but less than 256, then the new MTU is set to 256. If
the suggested MTU is 0, the old MTU is reduced by 256 or it is set to 256—whichever value is
greater. If the suggested MTU is greater than 256, then the new MTU is set to the suggested value.
• src_addr—IP address of the PMTU sender
• rcvd_mtu—Suggested MTU received in the PMTU message

713004
Error Message %ASA-3-713004: device scheduled for reboot or shutdown, IKE key acquire
message on interface interface num, for Peer IP_address ignored
Explanation The ASA has received an IKE packet from a remote entity trying to initiate a tunnel.
Because the ASA is scheduled for a reboot or shutdown, it does not allow any more tunnels to be
established. The IKE packet is ignored and dropped.
713201
Error Message %ASA-5-713201: Duplicate Phase Phase packet detected. Action
Explanation The ASA has received a duplicate of a previous Phase 1 or Phase 2 packet, and will
transmit the last message. A network performance or connectivity issue may have occurred, in which
the peer is not receiving sent packets in a timely manner.
• Phase—Phase 1 or 2

1-323
• Action—Retransmitting last packet, or No last packet to transmit.
Recommended Action Verify network performance or connectivity.
713202
Error Message %ASA-6-713202: Duplicate IP_addr packet detected.
Explanation The ASA has received a duplicate first packet for a tunnel that the ASA is already aware
of and negotiating, which indicates that the ASA probably received a retransmission of a packet
from the peer.
• IP_addr—The IP address of the peer from which the duplicate first packet was received
Recommended Action None required, unless the connection attempt is failing. If this is the case,
debug further and diagnose the problem.
713006
Error Message %ASA-5-713006: Failed to obtain state for message Id message_number,

Peer Address: IP_address
Explanation The ASA does not know about the received message ID. The message ID is used to
identify a specific IKE Phase 2 negotiation. An error condition on the ASA may have occurred, and
may indicate that the two IKE peers are out-of-sync.
713008
Error Message %ASA-3-713008: Key ID in ID payload too big for pre-shared IKE tunnel
Explanation A key ID value was received in the ID payload, which was longer than the maximum
allowed size of a group name for this IKE session using preshared keys authentication. This is an
invalid value, and the session is rejected. Note that the key ID specified would never work because
a group name of that size cannot be created in the ASA.
Recommended Action Make sure that the client peer (most likely an Altiga remote access client)
specifies a valid group name. Notify the user to change the incorrect group name on the client. The
current maximum length for a group name is 32 characters.

1-324
713009
Error Message %ASA-3-713009: OU in DN in ID payload too big for Certs IKE tunnel
Explanation An OU value in the DN was received in the ID payload, which was longer than the
maximum allowed size of a group name for this IKE session using Certs authentication. This OU is
skipped, and another OU or other criteria may find a matching group.
Recommended Action For the client to be able to use an OU to find a group in the ASA, the group
name must be a valid length. The current maximum length of a group name is 32 characters.
713010
Error Message %ASA-5-713010: IKE area: failed to find centry for message Id
message_number
Explanation An attempt was made to locate a conn_entry (IKE phase 2 structure that corresponds to
an IPsec SA) using the unique message ID, which failed. The internal structure was not found, which
may occur if a session was terminated in a nonstandard way, but it is more likely that an internal
error occurred.
Recommended Action If this problem persists, investigate the peer.
713012
Error Message %ASA-3-713012: Unknown protocol (protocol). Not adding SA w/spi=SPI

value
Explanation An illegal or unsupported IPsec protocol has been received from the peer.
Recommended Action Check the ISAKMP Phase 2 configuration on the peer(s) to make sure it is
compatible with the ASA.
713014
Error Message %ASA-3-713014: Unknown Domain of Interpretation (DOI): DOI value
Explanation The ISAKMP DOI received from the peer is unsupported.

1-329
713042
Error Message %ASA-3-713042: IKE Initiator unable to find policy: Intf

interface_number, Src: source_address, Dst: dest_address
Explanation The IPsec fast path processed a packet that triggered IKE, but the IKE policy lookup
failed. This error may be timing related. The ACLs that triggered IKE might have been deleted
before IKE processed the initiation request. This problem will most likely correct itself.
Recommended Action If the condition persists, check the L2L configuration, paying special attention
to the type of ACL associated with crypto maps.
713043
Error Message %ASA-3-713043: Cookie/peer address IP_address session already in

• Session Disconnected
• Session Error Terminated
• Peer Terminate
713052
Error Message %ASA-7-713052: User (user) authenticated.
Explanation The remote access user was authenticated.
713056
Error Message %ASA-3-713056: Tunnel rejected: SA (SA_name) not found for group
(group_name)!
Explanation The IPsec SA was not found.
Recommended Action If this is a remote access tunnel, check the group and user configuration, and
verify that a tunnel group and group policy have been configured for the specific user group. For
externally authenticated users and groups, check the returned authentication attributes.

1-331
713060
Error Message %ASA-3-713060: Tunnel Rejected: User (user) not member of group
(group_name), group-lock check failed.
Explanation The user is configured for a different group than what was sent in the IPsec negotiation.
Recommended Action If you are using the Cisco VPN client and preshared keys, make sure that the
group configured on the client is the same as the group associated with the user on the ASA. If you
are using digital certificates, the group is dictated either by the OU field of the certificate, or the user
automatically defaults to the remote access default group.
713061
Error Message %ASA-3-713061: Tunnel rejected: Crypto Map Policy not found for
Src:source_address, Dst: dest_address!
Explanation The ASA was not able to find security policy information for the private networks or
hosts indicated in the message. These networks or hosts were sent by the initiator and do not match
any crypto ACLs at the ASA. This is most likely a misconfiguration.
Recommended Action Check the protected network configuration in the crypto ACLs on both sides
and make sure that the local net on the initiator is the remote net on the responder and vice-versa.
Pay special attention to wildcard masks, and host addresses versus network addresses. Non-Cisco
implementations may have the private addresses labeled as proxy addresses or red networks.
713062
Error Message %ASA-3-713062: IKE Peer address same as our interface address
IP_address
Explanation The IP address configured as the IKE peer is the same as the IP address configured on
one of the ASA IP interfaces.
Recommended Action Check the L2L and IP interface configurations.
713063
Error Message %ASA-3-713063: IKE Peer address not configured for destination

Explanation The port value received in the IKE phase 1 ID payload was incorrect. Acceptable values
are 0 or 500 (ISAKMP is also known as IKE).
Recommended Action Make sure that a peer conforms to the IKE standards to avoid a network
problem resulting in corrupted packets.
713085
Error Message %ASA-3-713085: Received invalid phase 1 protocol (protocol) in ID

payload
Explanation The protocol value received in the IKE phase 1 ID payload was incorrect. Acceptable
values are 0 or 17 (UDP).
Recommended Action Make sure that a peer conforms to the IKE standards to avoid a network
problem resulting in corrupted packets.
713086
Error Message %ASA-3-713086: Received unexpected Certificate payload Possible

invalid Auth Method (Auth method (auth numerical value))
Explanation A certificate payload was received, but our internal certificate handle indicates that we
do not have an identity certificate. The certificate handle was not obtained through a normal
enrollment method. One likely reason this can happen is that the authentication method is not made
through RSA or DSS signatures, although the IKE SA negotiation should fail if each side is
misconfigured.
Recommended Action Check the trustpoint and ISAKMP configuration settings on the ASA and its
peer.
713088
Error Message %ASA-3-713088: Set Cert filehandle failure: no IPsec SA in group

Explanation A peer sent an ID payload without including any ID data, which is invalid.
Recommended Action Check the configuration of the peer.
713107
Error Message %ASA-3-713107: IP_Address request attempt failed!
713109
Error Message %ASA-3-713109: Unable to process the received peer certificate
Explanation The ASA was unable to process the certificate received from the remote peer, which can
occur if the certificate data was malformed (for example, if the public key size is larger than 4096
bits) or if the data in the certificate cannot be stored by the ASA.
Recommended Action Try to reestablish the connection using a different certificate on the remote
peer.

1-338
713112
Error Message %ASA-3-713112: Failed to process CONNECTED notify (SPI SPI_value)!
Explanation The ASA was unable to successfully process the notification payload that included the
CONNECTED notify type. This may occur if the IKE phase 2 structure cannot be found using the
SPI to locate it, or the commit bit had not been set in the received ISAKMP header. The latter case
may indicate a nonconforming IKE peer.
Recommended Action If the problem persists, check the configuration of the peer and/or disable
commit bit processing.
713113
Error Message %ASA-7-713113: Deleting IKE SA with associated IPsec connection

entries. IKE peer: IP_address, SA address: internal_SA_address, tunnel count:
count
Explanation An IKE SA is being deleted with a nonzero tunnel count, which means that either the
IKE SA tunnel count has lost synchronization with the associated connection entries or the
associated connection cookie fields for the entries have lost synchronization with the cookie fields
of the IKE SA to which the connection entry points. If this occurs, the IKE SA and its associated
data structures will not be freed, so that the entries that may point to it will not have a stale pointer.
Recommended Action None required. Error recovery is built-in.
713114
Error Message %ASA-7-713114: Connection entry (conn entry internal address) points
to IKE SA (SA_internal_address) for peer IP_address, but cookies don't match
713115
Error Message %ASA-5-713115: Client rejected NAT enabled IPsec request, falling back
to standard IPsec
Explanation The client rejected an attempt by the ASA to use IPsec over UDP. IPsec over UDP is
used to allow multiple clients to establish simultaneous tunnels to the ASA through a NAT device.
The client may have rejected the request, either because it does not support this feature or because
it is configured not to use it.
Recommended Action Verify the configuration on the headend and peer.

1-339
713117
Error Message %ASA-7-713117: Received Invalid SPI notify (SPI SPI_Value)!
Explanation The IPsec SA identified by the SPI value is no longer active on the remote peer, which
might indicate that the remote peer has rebooted or been reset.
Recommended Action This problem should correct itself once DPDs recognize that the peer no longer
has the appropriate SAs established. If DPD is not enabled, this may require you to manually
reestablish the affected tunnel.
713118
Error Message %ASA-3-713118: Detected invalid Diffie-Helmann group_descriptor

group_number, in IKE area
Explanation The group_descriptor field included an unsupported value. Currently we support only
groups 1, 2, 5, and 7. In the case of a centry, the group_descriptor field may also be set to 0 to
indicate that perfect forward secrecy is disabled.
Recommended Action Check the peer Diffie-Hellman configuration.
713119
Error Message %ASA-5-713119: Group group IP ip PHASE 1 COMPLETED
Explanation IKE Phase 1 has completed successfully.

Error Message %ASA-3-713122: Keep-alives configured keepalive_type but peer

IP_address support keep-alives (type = keepalive_type)
Explanation Keepalives were configured on or off for this device, but the IKE peer does or does not
support keepalives.
Recommended Action No action is required if this configuration is intentional. If it is not intentional,

change the keepalive configuration on both devices.
713123
Error Message %ASA-3-713123: IKE lost contact with remote peer, deleting connection
(keepalive type: keepalive_type)
Explanation The remote IKE peer did not respond to keepalives within the expected window of time,
so the connection to the IKE peer was terminated. The message includes the keepalive mechanism
used.
713124
Error Message %ASA-3-713124: Received DPD sequence number rcv_sequence_# in DPD

Action, description expected seq #
Explanation The remote IKE peer sent a DPD with a sequence number that did not match the
expected sequence number. The packet is discarded. This might indicate a packet loss problem with
the network.

1-341
713127
Error Message %ASA-3-713127: Xauth required but selected Proposal does not support
xauth, Check priorities of ike xauth proposals in ike proposal list

Explanation An unexpected payload has been received during XAUTH or Mode Cfg, which may
indicate that the two peers are out-of-sync, that the XAUTH or Mode Cfg versions do not match, or
that the remote peer is not complying with the appropriate RFCs.
Recommended Action Verify the configuration between peers.
713130
Error Message %ASA-5-713130: Received unsupported transaction mode attribute:

Explanation The device received a request for a valid transaction mode attribute (XAUTH or Mode
Cfg) that is currently not supported. This is generally a benign condition.

1-342
713131
Error Message %ASA-5-713131: Received unknown transaction mode attribute:

attribute_id
Explanation The ASA has received a request for a transaction mode attribute (XAUTH or Mode Cfg)
that is outside the range of known attributes. The attribute may be valid but only supported in later
versions of configuration mode, or the peer may be sending an illegal or proprietary value. This
should not cause connectivity problems, but may affect the functionality of the peer.
713132
Error Message %ASA-3-713132: Cannot obtain an IP_address for remote peer
Explanation A request for an IP address for a remote access client from the internal utility that
provides these addresses cannot be satisfied.
Recommended Action Check the configuration of IP address assignment methods.

Error Message %ASA-5-713237: ACL update (access_list) received during re-key

re-authentication will not be applied to the tunnel.
Explanation The Phase 1 rekey of a remote access IPsec tunnel appears under the following
conditions:
• The tunnel is configured to reauthenticate the user when the tunnel is rekeyed.
• The RADIUS server returns an access list or a reference to a locally configured access list that
is different from the one that was returned when the tunnel was first established.
Under these conditions, the ASA ignores the new access list and this message is generated.
• access_list—Name associated with the static or dynamic access list, as displayed in the output
of the show access-list command
Recommended Action IPsec users must reconnect for new user-specific access lists to take effect.

713248
Error Message %ASA-5-713248: META-DATA Rekey initiation is being disabled during

CRACK authentication.
Explanation When an IKE SA is negotiated using the CRACK authentication method, the Phase 1
SA rekey timer at the headend expired before a successful rekey. Because the remote client is always
the initiator of the exchange when using the CRACK authentication method, the headend will not
initiate the rekey. Unless the remote peer initiates a successful rekey before the IKE SA expires, the
connection will come down upon IKE SA expiration.
713249
Error Message %ASA-4-713249: META-DATA Received unsupported authentication results:

Error Message %ASA-3-713268: Could not delete route for L2L peer that came in on a
dynamic map. address: IP_address, mask: /prefix_len
Explanation The ASA experienced a failure while deleting a route for the private address or networks
of the peer. In this case, the peer is either a client or a L2L peer with an unknown address. Both of
these cases use dynamic crypto maps to allow the tunnel. The route may have already been deleted,
or an internal software error has occurred.
Recommended Action If the route has already been deleted, the condition is benign and the device will
function normally. If the problem persists or can be linked to routing issues over VPN tunnels, then
check the routing and addressing portions of the VPN L2L configuration. Also check the reverse
route injection and the ACLs associated with the appropriate crypto map. If the problem persists,

715051
Error Message %ASA-7-715051: Received unexpected TLV type TLV_type while processing
FWTYPE ModeCfg Reply
Explanation An unknown TLV was received in an ASA record while an FWTYPE ModeCfg Reply
was being processed. The TLV will be discarded. This might occur either because of packet
corruption or because the connecting client supports a later version of the ASA protocol.
Recommended Action Check the personal FW installed on the Cisco VPN client and the personal
firewall configuration on the ASA. This may also indicate a version mismatch between the VPN
client and the ASA.
715052
Error Message %ASA-7-715052: Old P1 SA is being deleted but new SA is DEAD, cannot
transition centries
Explanation The old P1 SA is being deleted, but has no new SA to transition to because it was marked
for deletion as well. This generally indicates that the two IKE peers are out-of-sync with each other
and may be using different rekey times. The problem should correct itself, but there may be some
small amount of data loss until a fresh P1 SA is reestablished.
715053
Error Message %ASA-7-715053: MODE_CFG: Received request for attribute_info!
Explanation The ASA received a mode configuration message requesting the specified attribute.

715056
Error Message %ASA-7-715056: Client is configured for TCP_transparency
Explanation Because the remote end (client) is configured for IPsec over TCP, the headend ASA
must not negotiate IPsec over UDP or IPsec over NAT-T with the client.
Recommended Action The NAT transparency configuration may require adjustment of one of the
peers if the tunnel does not come up.
715057
Error Message %ASA-7-715057: Auto-detected a NAT device with NAT-Traversal. Ignoring

IPsec-over-UDP configuration.
Explanation IPsec-over-UDP mode configuration information will not be exchanged because

NAT-Traversal was detected.
715058
Error Message %ASA-7-715058: NAT-Discovery payloads missing. Aborting NAT-Traversal.
Explanation The remote end did not provide NAT-Discovery payloads required for NAT-Traversal
after exchanging NAT-Traversal VIDs. At least two NAT-Discovery payloads must be received.
Recommended Action This may indicate a nonconforming NAT-T implementation. If the offending
peer is a Cisco product and the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC. If the offending peer is not
a Cisco product, then contact the manufacturer support team.

1-391
715059
Error Message %ASA-7-715059: Proposing/Selecting only UDP-Encapsulated-Tunnel and

the SA to successfully negotiate NAT-Traversal.
715060
Error Message %ASA-7-715060: Dropped received IKE fragment. Reason: reason
Explanation The reason for dropping the fragment appears.
Recommended Action The recommended action depends on the drop reason, but might indicate a
problem with an intervening NAT device or a nonconforming peer.
715061
Error Message %ASA-7-715061: Rcv'd fragment from a new fragmentation set. Deleting
any old fragments.
Explanation A resend of the same packet occurred, but fragmented to a different MTU, or another
packet altogether.
715062
Error Message %ASA-7-715062: Error assembling fragments! Fragment numbers are

non-continuous.
Explanation There is a gap in fragment numbers.
Recommended Action This might indicate a network problem. If the condition persists and results in
dropped tunnels or prevents certain peers from negotiating with the ASA, contact the Cisco TAC.

1-392
715063
Error Message %ASA-7-715063: Successfully assembled an encrypted pkt from rcv'd

1-393
715067
Error Message %ASA-7-715067: QM IsRekeyed: existing sa from different peer,

rejecting new sa
Explanation The LAN-TO-LAN SA that is being established already exists, that is, an SA with the
same remote network, but is sourced from a different peer. This new SA will be deleted, because this
is not a legal configuration.
Recommended Action Check the LAN-TO-LAN configuration on all associated peers. Specifically,
multiple peers should not be sharing private networks.
715068
Error Message %ASA-7-715068: QM IsRekeyed: duplicate sa found by address, deleting

old sa
Explanation The remote access SA that is being established already exists, that is, an SA with the
same remote network, but is sourced from a different peer. The old SA will be deleted, because the
peer may have changed its IP address.
Recommended Action This may be a benign condition, especially if a client tunnel was terminated
abruptly. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.
715069
Error Message %ASA-7-715069: Invalid ESP SPI size of SPI_size
Explanation The ASA received an IPsec SA proposal with an invalid ESP SPI size. This proposal
will be skipped.
Recommended Action Generally, this is a benign condition but might indicate that a peer may be
nonconforming. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.

715074
Error Message %ASA-7-715074: Could not retrieve authentication attributes for peer
IP_address
Explanation The ASA cannot get authorization information for the remote user.
Recommended Action Make sure that authentication and authorization settings have been configured
correctly. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.
715075
Error Message %ASA-7-715075: Group = group_name, IP = IP_address Received keep-alive

of type message_type (seq number number)
Explanation This message is paired with DPD R-U-THERE message 715036, which logs the DPD
sending messages.
• group_name—The VPN group name of the peer
• IP_address—IP address of the VPN peer
• message_type—The message type (DPD R-U-THERE or DPD R-U-THERE-ACK)
• number—The DPD sequence number
Two possible cases:
• Received peer sending DPD R-U-THERE message
• Received peer reply DPD R-U-THERE-ACK message

1-395
Be aware of the following:

• The DPD R-U-THERE message is received and its sequence number matches the outgoing DPD
reply messages.
If the ASA sends a DPD R-U-THERE-ACK message without first receiving a DPD
R-U-THERE message from the peer, it is likely experiencing a security breech.
• The received DPD R-U-THERE-ACK message's sequence number is matched with previously
sent DPD messages.
If the ASA did not receive a DPD R-U-THERE-ACK message within a reasonable amount of
time after sending a DPD R-U-THERE message to the peer, the tunnel is most likely down.

Error Message %ASA-5-717013: Removing a cached CRL to accommodate an incoming CRL.

Issuer: issuer
Explanation When the device is configured to authenticate IPsec tunnels using digital certificates,
CRLs may be cached in memory to avoid requiring a CRL download during each connection. If the
cache fills to the point where an incoming CRL cannot be accommodated, older CRLs will be
removed until the required space is made available. This message is generated for each purged CRL.
• issuer—The name of the device that removes cached CRLs
717014
Error Message %ASA-5-717014: Unable to cache a CRL received from CDP due to size
limitations (CRL size = size, available cache space = space)
Explanation When the device is configured to authenticate IPsec tunnels using digital certificates,
CRLs may be cached in memory to avoid requiring a CRL download during each connection. This
message is generated if a received CRL is too large to fit in the cache. Large CRLs are still supported
even though they are not cached. This means that the CRL will be downloaded with each IPsec
connection, which may affect performance during IPsec connection bursts.
717015
Error Message %ASA-3-717015: CRL received from issuer is too large to process (CRL
size = crl_size, maximum CRL size = max_crl_size)
Explanation An IPsec connection caused a CRL that is larger than the maximum permitted CRL size
to be downloaded. This error condition causes the connection to fail. This message is rate limited to
one message every 10 seconds.
Recommended Action Scalability is perhaps the most significant drawback to the CRL method of
revocation checking. To solve this problem, the only options are to investigate a CA-based solution
to reduce the CRL size or configure the ASA not to require CRL validation.

1-424
717016
Error Message %ASA-6-717016: Removing expired CRL from the CRL cache. Issuer: issuer
Explanation When the ASA is configured to authenticate IPsec tunnels using digital certificates,

Recommended Action Make sure that an enrollment URL is configured with this trustpoint, ensure
connectivity with the CA server, then retry the request.
717018
Error Message %ASA-3-717018: CRL received from issuer has too many entries to process
(number of entries = number_of_entries, maximum number allowed = max_allowed)
Explanation An IPsec connection caused a CRL that includes more revocation entries than can be
supported to be downloaded. This is an error condition that will cause the connection to fail. This
• issuer—The X.500 name of the CRLs issuer
• number_of_entries—The number of revocation entries in the received CRL
• max_allowed—The maximum number of CRL entries that the ASA supports
Recommended Action Scalability is perhaps the most significant drawback to the CRL method of
revocation checking. The only options to solve this problem are to investigate a CA-based solution
to reduce the CRL size or configure the ASA not to require CRL validation.

rate_val per second, max configured rate is rate_val; Cumulative total count is
total_cnt
Explanation The specified object in the message has exceeded the specified burst threshold rate or
average threshold rate. The object can be a drop activity of a host, TCP/UDP port, IP protocol, or
various drops caused by potential attacks. The ASA may be under attack.
• Object—The general or particular source of a drop rate count, which might include the
following:
- Firewall
- Bad pkts
- Rate limit
- DoS attck
- ACL drop
- Conn limit
- ICMP attk
- Scanning
- SYN attck
- Inspect
- Interface
(A citation of a particular interface object might take a number of forms. For example, you
might see 80/HTTP, which would signify port 80, with the well-known protocol HTTP.)
• rate_ID—The configured rate that is being exceeded. Most objects can be configured with up
to three different rates for different intervals.
• rate_val—A particular rate value.
• total_cnt—The total count since the object was created or cleared.
The following three examples show how these variables occur:
– For an interface drop caused by a CPU or bus limitation:
%ASA-4-733100: [Interface] drop rate 1 exceeded. Current burst rate is 1 per
second, max configured rate is 8000; Current average rate is 2030 per second, max
configured rate is 2000; Cumulative total count is 3930654.”
– For a scanning drop caused by potential attacks:

ASA-4-733100: [Scanning] drop rate-1 exceeded. Current burst rate is 10 per
second_max configured rate is 10; Current average rate is 245 per second_max
configured rate is 5; Cumulative total count is 147409 (35 instances received)
– For bad packets caused by potential attacks:

%ASA-4-733100: [Bad pkts] drop rate 1 exceeded. Current burst rate is 0 per
configured rate is 100; Cumulative total count is 1938933

– Because of the scanning rate configured and the threat-detection rate scanning-rate 3600
average-rate 15 command:
%ASA-4-733100: [144.60.88.2] drop rate-2 exceeded. Current burst rate is 0 per
configured rate is 4; Cumulative total count is 38086
Recommended Action Perform the following steps according to the specified object type that appears
in the message:
1. If the object in the message is one of the following:
– Firewall
– Bad pkts
– Rate limit
– DoS attck
– ACL drop
– Conn limit
– ICMP attck
– Scanning
– SYN attck
– Inspect
– Interface
Check whether the drop rate is acceptable for the running environment.
2. Adjust the threshold rate of the particular drop to an appropriate value by using the
threat-detection rate xxx command, where xxx is one of the following:
– acl-drop
– bad-packet-drop
– conn-limit-drop
– dos-drop
– fw-drop
– icmp-drop
– inspect-drop
– interface-drop
– scanning-threat
– syn-attack
3. If the object in the message is a TCP or UDP port, an IP address, or a host drop, check whether
or not the drop rate is acceptable for the running environment.
4. Adjust the threshold rate of the particular drop to an appropriate value by using the
threat-detection rate bad-packet-drop command.
Note If you do not want the drop rate exceed warning to appear, you can disable it by using
the no threat-detection basic-threat command.

count is total_cnt.
Explanation The ASA detected that a specific host (or several hosts in the same 1024-node subnet)
is either scanning the network (attacking), or is being scanned (targeted).
• object—Attacker or target (a specific host or several hosts in the same 1024-node subnet)
• objectIP—The IP address of the scanning attacker or scanned target
• rate_val—A particular rate value
• total_cnt—The total count
The following two examples show how these variables occur:
%ASA-4-733101: Subnet 100.0.0.0 is targeted. Current burst rate is 200 per second, max
configured rate is 0; Current average rate is 0 per second, max configured rate is 0;
Cumulative total count is 2028.
%ASA-4-733101: Host 175.0.0.1 is attacking. Current burst rate is 200 per second, max
configured rate is 0; Current average rate is 0 per second, max configured rate is 0;
Cumulative total count is 2024
Recommended Action For the specific host or subnet, use the show threat-detection statistics host
ip-address ip-mask command to check the overall situation and then adjust the threshold rate of the
scanning threat to the appropriate value. After the appropriate value is determined, an optional
action can be taken to shun those host attackers (not subnet attacker) by configuring the
threat-detection scanning-threat shun-host command. You may specify certain hosts or object
groups in the shun-host except list. For more information, see the CLI configuration guide. If
scanning detection is not desirable, you can disable this feature by using the no threat-detection
scanning command.
733102
Error Message %ASA-4-733102:Threat-detection adds host %I to shun list
Explanation A host has been shunned by the threat detection engine. When the threat-detection
scanning-threat shun command is configured, the attacking hosts will be shunned by the threat
detection engine.
• %I—A particular hostname

1-526
The following message shows how this command was implemented:

%ASA-4-733102: Threat-detection add host 11.1.1.40 to shun list
Recommended Action To investigate whether the shunned host is an actual attacker, use the
threat-detection statistics host ip-address command. If the shunned host is not an attacker, you
can remove the shunned host from the threat detection engine by using the clear threat-detection
shun ip address command. To remove all shunned hosts from the threat detection engine, use the
clear shun command.
If you receive this message because an inappropriate threshold rate has been set to trigger the threat
detection engine, then adjust the threshold rate by using the threat-detection rate scanning-threat
rate-interval x average-rate y burst-rate z command.
733103
Error Message %ASA-4-733103: Threat-detection removes host %I from shun list

Explanation The ASA overflowed its throttle request queue to the specified peer, indicating that the
peer is slow. The throttle request queue holds requests destined for the peer, which cannot be sent
immediately because the maximum number of requests allowed to be in-flight based on the IKEv2
window size were already in-flight. As in-flight requests are completed, requests are pulled off of
the throttle request queue and sent to the peer. If the peer is not processing these requests quickly,
the throttle queue backs up.
Recommended Action If possible, increase the IKEv2 window size on the remote peer to allow more
concurrent requests to be in-flight, which may improve performance.
Note The ASA does not currently support an increased IKEv2 window size setting.

Error Message %ASA-6-775001: Scansafe: protocol connection conn_id from

interface_name:real_address/real_port redirected to
server_interface_name:server_ip_address
Explanation A ScanSafe server is configured, and traffic matches a policy that has been configured
to redirect the connection to the ScanSafe server for content scanning and other malware protection
services.
775002
Error Message %ASA-4-775002: Reason - protocol connection conn_id from

interface_name:real_address/real_port is action locally
Explanation If the source IP address and port of the new ScanSafe redirected connection matches the
existing connection, then the ASA drops the new connection and this syslog message is generated.
• Reason —Duplicate connection with same source address and port port
Recommended Action Make sure of all of the following:

• The ScanSafe license key is configured.
• The public key is configured.
• The ScanSafe server is reachable by the ASA.
• The maximum number of connections has not been reached.
Note Configuring PAT and ScanSafe on a single connection are not recommended.

775003
Error Message %ASA-6-775003: Scansafe:protocol connection conn_id from

interface_name:real_address/real_port is whitelisted.
Explanation The traffic has been matched and does not need to be redirected to the ScanSafe server
for content scanning, but can be sent directly to the intended web server.
775004
Error Message %ASA-4-775004: Scansafe: Primary server ip_address is not reachable
Explanation The primary ScanSafe server is not reachable on either of the configured HTTP or
HTTPS ports.
775005
Error Message %ASA-6-775005: Scansafe: Primary server ip_address is reachable now
Explanation The primary ScanSafe server is reachable on both of the configured HTTP and HTTPS
ports.
775006
Error Message %ASA-6-775006: Primary server interface:ip_address is not reachable

and backup server interface:ip_address is now active
Explanation If the primary ScanSafe server becomes unreachable, the ASA checks the connectivity
to the configured backup ScanSafe server; if the backup server is reachable, it becomes the active
server.

1-606
775007
Error Message %ASA-2-775007: Scansafe: Primary

server_interface_name:server_ip_address and backup
server_interface_name:server_ip_address servers are not reachable.
Explanation Neither the primary nor backup ScanSafe server is reachable. Based on the configured
default action( fail_close or fail_open), traffic is getting dropped or sent to the web server without
being redirected.
Recommended Action If both the ScanSafe servers are not reachable, you can change the ScanSafe
configuration to fail_open to send traffic to the web server without having it redirected to the
ScanSafe server. This configuration changes the default action to permit.
