FMC verify Sip is not inspected

[Lee Dress]

I'm running FMC 6.2.3.14 on 18 ASA devices.

I have disabled SIP inspection on my ASA devices, but how do I do this in the firepower policies?

I'm assuming the sfr policy on the asa routes all traffic through the firepower module, which means that firepower is looking at SIP.  this is what i would like to disable.

any help would be appreciated.

here's the relevant part of my running config from my ASA if needed

access-list sfr_redirect extended permit ip any any

class-map sfr
match access-list sfr_redirect
class-map inspection_default
match default-inspection-traffic
class-map netflow
match any
!
!
policy-map type inspect dns preset_dns_map

inspect netbios
inspect tftp
inspect ip-options
inspect pptp
inspect icmp

sfr fail-open
class netflow
flow-export event-type all destination 192.168.x.x

In a Firepower service module managed by FMC you can do this via Flexconfig. Create a Flexconfig object and enter these commands:

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
no inspect sip

Then bind this Flex object to Flex Policy and deploy.

If you are using ASDM management, you cannot change this inspection since Flexconfig is not supported with ASDM.

If you are running FTD, this is one of the few things that can be changed via cli:

> show running-config | begin global_policy
policy-map global_policy

  inspect ftp

Thank you.

I'm running FMC.

I added a no_sip object and added the commands you mentioned.

then I created a disable sip Policy and appended the object to it.

When I click on policy assignments, none of my firepower devices are listed. so I can't depoly.

did I miss a step?  I haven't used flex config at all before so maybe I'm missing something here.

Ah - sorry I was writing the procedure for an FTD device. Flexconfigs do not apply to ASA Firepower service modules (sfr). That's why you don't see them as an available policy target.

The sfr module should not be inspecting SIP traffic for protocol conformance as that function would be handled (or bypassed as it would be in your case) by the associated ASA software.

[Lee Dress]

Thanks for your help.

I just needed to verify that SIP was not inspected.

since the ASA says no inspect sip, I just wanted to make sure that the firepower module was following suit.

thank you for your help again!
