Odd IP's showing up in ASA VPN logs

Brian Rapier

I came across this during a log review.  Starting on the 28th of Jan an IP has started showing up in my ASA logs.  Problem I have is the IP seems to be coming out of Delaware, and we are in Ontario and all the users connecting are also in Ontario.

We are using Anyconnect to connect to our ASA.

Here is an excerpt of the logs.  Edited to remove users etc.

Login:

%ASA-6-725001: Starting SSL handshake with client Clientvpn:99.245.174.213/61474 for TLSv1 session.

**Why is it terminating, only to reconnect???**

That is the IP in question.  It shows up for multiple users upon disconnect of an AnyConnect connection.

Anyone have any ideas on this? 

Upon even more review there are other IP's that are showing up as well.

116.136.36.175 - China

196.110.36.175 - Unknown

12.115.36.175 - Kansas     

36.162.36.175 - Bejing China

Okay, this seems to be some sort of bug in the logging. 

All these IP's have the same last 2 octets 36.175, that matches the actual IP of one of my site to site VPN connections.

Very strange.  I may try reloading the ASA early in the morning to see if it clears it up.

ASA 5510 9.1.1 in case anyone is interested.

Hello Brian,

I know that this is an old post but I just wanted to share some information in case you are still having this issue. As you mentioned before this is a Bug on version 9.1.1, which is identified by Cisco and fixed on versions 9.0(2.4) 8.4(4.6). However, the fix has not been included on any 9.1.x version. The next release of 9.1.x should inlcude the fix. Please find the bug bellow:
