The ASDM 5.0.7 creates duplicate network object groups in the configuration (_ref) in PIX with software 7.0.7

[sdmumbai rrc]

Hi Team,

We are facing the problem in ASDM 5.x creates duplicate network object groups in the configuration when PIX with software 7.0.7 is used.

Audit report its showing below commands :

asdm group SALES_ref dmz2 reference SALES
object-group network SALES_ref
network-object 172.20.7.8
network-object 172.20.10.3
network-object 172.20.11.2

no access-list dmz2_access_in extended permit tcp object-group Network_10.10.1.0 object-group SALES object-group SALES_Ports
access-list dmz2_access_in line 200 extended permit tcp object-group Network_10.10.1.0 object-group SALES_ref object-group SALES_Ports

i was created SALES object group 2 month back after that ASDM Automatically created the duplicate object with SALES_ref name and changed the old ACL.

Now my management want why this happens and any bugs with this version?

any workaround to solve this issue ..

Please help its vey urgent..

Thanks...

Hi,

This is a known issue with ASDM in this version. You can either manually delete the duplicate object groups or upgrade the PIX and ASDM version, to 7.2 and 5.2 respectfully.

Hope this helps!
