Hello All,    I am trying to configure an UCS-E Box with ASAv installed on it at VMWare side. If you see the Diagram it will be more easier considering what I am thinking to execute.    ISR router model is UCS-E140S-M2/K9 with in built switch installed on it. My plan is at the Switch Module users will connect with gateway whose L3 is configured as an Inside Interface of ASA ( installed at  UCS_E Vmware ). Having said that traffic from switch module for a User machine connected at switch module need to go to ASA Inside Interface and through ASA Outside Interface Traffic will go to Internet or Other Side of the VPN.    Used G0/0/0 as WAN connection of the router and then used VNIC0 / UCSE1/0/0 treating as the WAN side of the ASA.      interface Loopback10  ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0     interface ucse1/0/0  ip unnumbered Loopback10  negotiation auto  switchport mode trunk  no mop enabled  no mop sysid   and then used VNIC1 / UCSE1/0/1 with BDI500 treating as the connection of ESXI VNIC 1 which is eventually the Inside Interface of ASA.    ! interface BDI500  ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0   interface ucse1/0/1  no ip address  no negotiation auto  switchport mode trunk  no mop enabled  no mop sysid  spanning-tree cost 10  service instance 500 ethernet   encapsulation dot1q 500   rewrite egress tag push dot1q 500   bridge-domain 500   But when I try to use one switch port while assigning an ip of 192.168.1.0/24 with GW 1.1 at Laptop I am not able to Ping to 192.168.1.1 even though BDI Interface shows UP from router.    interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0  switchport access vlan 500  switchport mode access   Router#sh arp Protocol  Address          Age (min)  Hardware Addr   Type   Interface Internet  10.1.1.2               13   a0e0.afe0.8ce5  ARPA   ucse1/0/0 Internet  100.100.100.1           -   00aa.6ef6.2760  ARPA   GigabitEthernet0/0/0 Internet  192.168.1.1             -   00aa.6ef6.27e3  ARPA   BDI500   Any thoughts what configuration I am doing wrong ? ...

Hello All,    I require some guide line here. I need to configure a UCS-E Series ( UCS-E140S-M2/K9 ). There will be an ASAv VM at UCS- Series behind which I need to isolate the Inside Resources. So there will be 1 Outside and multiple Inside Subnet need to confiugred at ASAv. So I need to bring this subnets through the UCS Router to UCS-E Series Blade. Now I am in confusion with how to make the Internal Connection with Router to UCS Blade ( ESXI Host ) for multiple  subnet to configure in ESXI. I used Routers G0/0/0 and UCS1/0/0 for CIMC IP Configuration.   Then My only left port is UCS1/0/1 to make internal connection between Router and UCS. But how to do that to make an Internal Connection with Router and UCS-E while making sure I can configure multiple subnet in UCS-E Side ? ... View more

Hello   I was configuring the CIMC IP. Below is the config I did for CIMC Access , method using the E-Series Server's Internal NIC GE1 and routers UCSE 1/0/1 Interface.   Physical Connectivity I did is connected a Cable to Routers GE0 Interface with a PC where I assigned a same block IP ( 10.7.29.210 ). From PC ( 10.7.29.210 ). I can Ping G00/0/0 but not the CIMC IP ( 10.7.29.202 ). Also from Router I can Ping G0/0/0 IP but not CIMC IP. I also added "sh ip interface brief" , “ sh platform” command output in case it helps.  Can you advise what is wrong I am doing here ?   interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 ip address 10.7.29.201 255.255.255.0 negotiation auto interface ucse1/0/1 ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0/0 no negotiation auto switchport mode trunk   ucse subslot 1/0 imc access-port shared-lom console imc ip address 10.7.29.202 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 10.7.29.201 ip route 10.7.29.202 255.255.255.255 ucse1/0/1   Command Output   Roter#sh ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK?

Hello All,   I need a suggestion for ASA FIrePower Firewall specifically user based rules.    I need to configure User Based Firewall rules in an ASA FirePower , so that I can use User Groups that will be allowed as SOURCE to access a specific destination which is at Inside Interface of ASA FirePower Firewall.    ASA FirePower is added to the FMC and FMC is already configured with LDAP hence user to ip mapping information is in FMC. So as ASA FirePower is added to the FMC and FMC is integrated with LDAP ,  I can use that Information from FMC to configure User Based Firewall Rules for ASA FirePower right  ?   In which Interface I should apply the user based rules if I need to allow any source as User need to access to Destinations at Inside Interface  ? ...
