CSC-SSM User node issue

[Madhan Kumar]

Hi All,

One of my client is having ASA 5510 with csc-ssm10. The total number of users 40 and maximum concurrent users are 30. But the csc is showing the no of node exceeding more than 100 which is having 100 node license. Anyone can help me out why it is showing like that and is there anyway to avoid this error.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Each IP address generating TCP traffic on one of the ASA interfaces except the lowest security one is considered as a node.

If you have for instance a DMZ, each hosts behind this interface will also be counted as nodes.

If you want to see which IP are using your nodes, you can log at Informational level and look for message 6-421005 in the logs.

It should give you something like this:

%ASA-6-421005: inside: 1.1.1.1 is counted as a user of Content Security and Control Card
