Problems with pinging ASA 5505

[Cisco SE]

Hi

im having strange network issues and wonder if my ASA 5505 can be the problem. 

Memory usage on my ASA is 232MB of 256MB. Running 8.4(4)1

It stops responding on the inside interface suddenly when i try to ping it. We have about 20 clients on the network. 

Any ideas?

Hi,

Is this issue intermittent or the pings are never working ?

If it is intermittent , you would have to check if the pings are even reaching the ASA device interface and that should be able to isolate the issue to the ASA hardware.

You can apply a simple capture on the Interface that you are testing with:-

capture cap interface <Name Of Interface> match icmp host <Interface IP> <Test PC IP>

capture asp type asp-drop all

Also , collect the show tech at that time of the issue and we should be able to verify the issue.

Is there a Layer 3 hop or another Layer 2 Switch connected between the client and the ASA device ?

Thanks and Regards,
