Name: natt-keepalive
NAT-T keepalive message:
    This counter will increment when the appliance receives an IPSec NAT-T keepalive message.  NAT-T keepalive messages are sent from the IPSec peer to the appliance to keep NAT/PAT flow information current in network devices between the NAT-T IPSec peer and the appliance.

 Recommendation:
    If you have configured IPSec NAT-T on your appliance, this indication is normal and doesn't indicate a problem.  If NAT-T is not configured on your appliance, analyze your network traffic to determine the source of the NAT-T traffic.

 Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ipsecudp-keepalive
IPSEC/UDP keepalive message:
    This counter will increment when the appliance receives an IPSec over UDP keepalive message. IPSec over UDP keepalive messages are sent from the IPSec peer to the appliance to keep NAT/PAT flow information current in network devices between the IPSec over UDP peer and the appliance. Note - These are not industry standard NAT-T keepalive messages which are also carried over UDP and addressed to UDP port 4500. 
 Recommendation:
    If you have configured IPSec over UDP on your appliance, this indication is normal and doesn't indicate a problem.  If IPSec over UDP is not configured on your appliance, analyze your network traffic to determine the source of the IPSec over UDP traffic.

 Syslogs:
    None

       - IPv4 packet with source IP address equal to 0.0.0.0
    2) In routed or transparent mode and receives a through-the-box IPv4 packet with:
       - first octet of the source IP address equal to zero
       - source IP address equal to the loopback IP address
       - network part of source IP address equal to all 0's
       - network part of the source IP address equal to all 1's
       - source IP address host part equal to all 0's or all 1's
       - Destination IP address host part equal to all 0's
    3) In routed or transparent mode and receives an IPv4 or IPv6 packet with same source and destination IP addresses

Recommendation:
    1 and 2) Determine if an external user is trying to compromise the protected network. Check for misconfigured clients.
    3) If this message counter is incrementing rapidly, an attack may be in progress. Use the packet capture feature to capture type asp packets, and check the source MAC address in the packet to see where they are coming from.

Name: punt_action
FP L2 rule drop:
    This counter will increment when the appliance denies a packet due to a layer-2 ACL. By default, in routed mode the appliance will PERMIT: 
    1) IPv4 packets
    2) IPv6 packets
    3) ARP packets
    4) L2 Destination MAC of FFFF:FFFF:FFFF (broadcast)
    5) IPv4 MCAST packet with destination L2 of 0100:5E00:0000-0100:5EFE:FFFF
    6) IPv6 MCAST packet with destination L2 of 3333:0000:0000-3333:FFFF:FFFF

    By default, in Transparent mode permits the routed mode ACL and PERMITS:

    1) BPDU packets with destination L2 of 0100:0CCC:CCCD
    2) Appletalk packets with destination L2 of 0900:0700:0000-0900:07FF:FFFF

    The user can also configure ethertype ACL(s) and apply them to an interface to permit other types of L2 traffic.

    Note - Packets permitted by L2 ACLs may still be dropped by L3-L4 ACLs.

 Recommendation:
    If your running the appliance/context in transparent mode and your NON-IP packets are dropped by the appliance, you can configure an ethertype ACL and apply the ACL to an access group. Note - the appliance ethertype CLI only supports protocol types and not L2 destination MAC     addresses.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ssm-dpp-invalid
Invalid packet received from SSM card:
    This counter only applies to the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance. It is incremented when the security appliance receives a packet from the internal data plane interface but could not find the proper driver to parse it.

Recommendation:
    The data plane driver is dynamically registered depending on the type of SSM installed in the system. So this could happen if data plane packets arrive before the security appliance is fully initialized. This counter is usually 0. You should not be concerned if there are a few drops. However, if this counter keeps rising when system is up and running, it may indicate a problem. Please contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if you suspect it affects the normal operation of your the security appliance.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ssm-asdp-invalid
Invalid ASDP packet received from SSM card:
    This counter only applies to the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance. It is incremented when the security appliance receives an ASA SSM Dataplane Protocol (ASDP) packet from the internal data plane interface, but the driver encountered a problem when parsing the packet. ASDP is a protocol used by the security appliance to communicate with certain types of SSMs, like the CSC-SSM. This could happen for various reasons, for example ASDP protocol version is not compatible between the security appliance and SSM, in which case the card manager process in the control plane issues system messages and CLI warnings to inform you of the proper version of images that need to be installed; the ASDP packet belongs to a connection that has already been terminated on the security appliance; the security appliance has switched to the standby state (if failover is enable) in which case it can no longer pass traffic; or any unexpected value when parsing the ASDP header and payload.

Recommendation:
    The counter is usually 0 or a very small number. But user should not be concerned if the counter slowly increases over the time, especially when there has been a failover, or you have manually cleared connections on the security appliance via CLI. If the counter increases drastically during normal operation, please contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Name: ssm-app-request
Service module requested drop:
    This counter only applies to the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance. It is incremented when the application running on the SSM requests the security appliance to drop a packet.

Recommendation:
    More information could be obtained by querying the incident report or system messages generated by the SSM itself. Please consult the documentation that comes with your SSM for instructions.

Syslogs: 
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ssm-app-fail
Service module is down:
    This counter only applies to the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance. It is incremented when a packet to be inspected by the SSM is dropped because the SSM has become unavailable. Some examples of this are: software or hardware failure, software or signature upgrade, or the module being shut down.

Recommendation:
    The card manager process running in the security appliance control plane would have issued system messages and CLI warning to inform you of the failure. Please consult the documentation that comes with the SSM to trouble shoot the SSM failure. Contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if needed.

Syslog:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: wccp-return-no-route

    This counter is incremented and packet is dropped when the appliance receives a TCP SYN packet attempting to establish a TELNET session to the appliance and that packet was received on the least secure interface.

 Recommendation:
    To establish a TELNET session to the appliance via the least secure interface, first establish an IPSec tunnel to that interface and then connect the TELNET session over that tunnel.

 Syslogs:
    402117


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ipv6-sp-security-failed
IPv6 slowpath security checks failed:
    This counter is incremented and the packet is dropped for one of the following reasons:
1) IPv6 through-the-box packet with identical source and destination address.
2) IPv6 through-the-box packet with linklocal source or destination address.
3) IPv6 through-the-box packet with multicast destination address.

Recommendation:
    These packets could indicate malicious activity, or could be the result of a misconfigured IPv6 host.  Use the packet capture feature to capture type asp packets, and use the source MAC address to identify the source.
Syslogs:
    For identical source and destination address, syslog 106016, else none.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: cp-event-queue-error
CP event queue error:
    This counter is incremented when a CP event queue enqueue attempt has     failed due to queue length exceeded. This queue is used by the data-path     to punt packets to the control-point for additional processing. This     condition is only possible in a multi-processor enviroment. The module     that attempted to enqueue the packet may issue it's own packet specific     drop in response to this error.  Recommendation:
    While this error does indicate a failure to completely process a     packet, it may not adversely affect the connection. If the condition     persists or connections are adversely affected contact the Cisco     Technical Assistance Center (TAC).  Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: cp-syslog-event-queue-error
CP syslog event queue error:
    This counter is incremented when a CP syslog event queue enqueue attempt     has failed due to queue length exceeded. This queue is used by the     data-path to punt logging events to the control-point when logging     destinations other than to a UDP server are configured. This     condition is only possible in a multi-processor environment.  Recommendation:
    While this error does indicate a failure to completely process a     logging event, logging to UDP servers should not be affected. If     the condition persists consider lowering the logging level and/or     removing logging destinations or contact the Cisco Technical     Assistance Center (TAC).  Syslogs:

Name: async-lock-queue-limit
Async lock queue limit exceeded:
    Each async lock working queue has a limit of 1000. When more SIP packets     are attempted to be dispatch to the work queue, packet will be dropped.
Recommendation:
    Only SIP traffic may be dropped. When SIP packets have the same parent     lock and they can be queued into the same async lock queue, thus may     result into blocks depletion, becasue only single core is handling all     the media. If a SIP packet attempts to be queued when the size of the     async lock queue exceeds the limit, the packet will be dropped. 
Syslogs:

    This counter will increment when the appliance receives an IPSec ESP packet, IPSec NAT-T ESP packet or an IPSec over UDP ESP packet encapsulated in an IP version 6 header.  The appliance does not currently support any IPSec sessions encapsulated in IP version 6.

Recommendation:
    None

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: tunnel-pending
Tunnel being brought up or torn down:
    This counter will increment when the appliance receives a packet matching an entry in the security policy database (i.e. crypto map) but the security association is in the process of being negotiated; its not complete yet.

    This counter will also increment when the appliance receives a packet matching an entry in the security policy database but the security association has been or is in the process of being deleted. The difference between this indication and the 'Tunnel has been torn down' indication is that the 'Tunnel has been torn down' indication is for established flows.

Recommendation:
    This is a normal condition when the IPSec tunnel is in the process of being negotiated or deleted.

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: need-ike
Need to start IKE negotiation:
    This counter will increment when the appliance receives a packet which requires encryption but has no established IPSec security association. This is generally a normal condition for LAN-to-LAN IPSec configurations. This indication will cause the appliance to begin ISAKMP negotiations  with the destination peer.

Recommendation:
    If you have configured IPSec LAN-to-LAN on your appliance, this indication is normal and does not indicate a problem.  However, if this counter increments rapidly it may indicate a crypto configuration error or network error preventing the ISAKMP negotiation from completing.

    Verify that you can communicate with the destination peer and verify your crypto configuration via the 'show running-config' command.

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-handle-error
VPN handle error:
    This counter is incremented when the appliance is unable to create a VPN handle because the VPN handle already exists.

Recommendation:
    It is possible to see this counter increment as part of normal operation. However, if the counter is rapidly incrementing and there is a major malfunction of vpn-based applications, then this may be caused by a software defect. Use the following commands to gather more information about this counter and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further.

    capture <name> type asp-drop vpn-handle-error
    show asp table classify crypto
    show asp table vpn-context detail

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-handle-not-found
VPN handle not found:
    This counter is incremented when a datagram hits an encrypt, or decrypt operation, and no VPN handle is found for the flow the datagram is on.

Recommendation:
    It is possible to see this counter increment as part of normal operation. However, if the counter is rapidly incrementing and there is a major malfunction of vpn-based applications, then this may be caused by a software defect. Use the following commands to gather more information about this counter and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further.

    capture <name> type asp-drop vpn-handle-not-found
    show asp table classify crypto

----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ipsec-spoof-detect
IPSec spoof packet detected:
    This counter will increment when the appliance receives a packet which should have been encrypted but was not.  The packet matched the inner header security policy check of a configured and established IPSec connection on the appliance but was received unencrypted.  This is a security issue.

Recommendation:
    Analyze your network traffic to determine the source of the spoofed IPSec traffic.

Syslogs:
    402117


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ipsec-detunnel-fail
IPsec detunnel processing failed:
  This counter will increment when a clear text flow fails IPSec tunnel flow processing.

    Use the following command to look at more specific packet drops. 

    show asp drop

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: svc-spoof-detect
SVC spoof packet detected:
    This counter will increment when the security appliance receives a packet which should have been encrypted but was not. The packet matched the inner header security policy check of a configured and established SVC connection on the security appliance but was received unencrypted. This is a security issue.

Recommendation:
    Analyze your network traffic to determine the source of the spoofed SVC traffic.

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: svc-failover
An SVC socket connection is being disconnected on the standby unit:
    This counter is incremented for each new SVC socket connection that is disconnected when the active unit is transitioning into standby state as part of a failover transition.

Recommendation:
    None. This is part of a normal cleanup of a SVC connection when the current device is transitioning from active to standby. Existing SVC connections on the device are no longer valid and need to be removed.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: svc-replacement-conn
SVC replacement connection established:
    This counter is incremented when an SVC connection is replaced by a new connection. 

Recommendation:
    None. This may indicate that users are having difficulty maintaining connections to the ASA. Users should evaluate the quality of their home network and Internet connection.

Syslog:
    722032


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: ipsec-selector-failure
IPSec VPN inner policy selector mismatch detected:
    This counter is incremented when an IPSec packet is received with an inner IP header that does not match the configured policy for the tunnel.

 Recommendation:
    Verify that the crypto ACLs for the tunnel are correct and that all acceptable packets are included in the tunnel identity.  Verify that the box is not under attack if this message is repeatedly seen.

 Syslogs:
    402116


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-context-expired
Expired VPN context:
    This counter will increment when the security appliance receives a packet that requires encryption or decryption, and the ASP VPN context required to perform the operation is no longer valid.

 Recommendation:
    This indicates that a software error should be reported to the Cisco TAC.

 Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-overlap-conflict
VPN Network Overlap Conflict:
    When a packet is decrypted the inner packet is examined against the crypto map configuration.  If the packet matches a different crypto map entry than the one it was received on it will be dropped and this counter will increment.  A common cause for this is two crypto map entries containing similar/overlapping address spaces. 

 Recommendation:
    Check your VPN configuration for overlapping networks. Verify the     order of your crypto maps and use of 'deny' rules in ACLs.

 Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-lock-error
IPSec locking error:
    This counter is incremented when VPN flow cannot be created due to     an internal locking error.

Recommendation:
    This condition should never be encountered during normal operation and     may indicate a software problem with the appliance.  Contact the Cisco     Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if this error occurs.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-reclassify_failed
The flow could not be reclassified according to existing VPN policies:
    When VPN policies change, flows that no longer match those policies are     freed as packets arrive for those flows.

Recommendations:
    This counter is informational and the behavior expected.

Syslogs:
    No new syslogs accompany this event.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-missing-decrypt
The flow could not be created because its decryption policy was not available:
    A VPN flow creation was attempted before its decryption policy was     fully initialized. This is a transient condition and will be resolved once the     decryption policy completes its installation.

Recommendations:
It is possible to see this counter increment as part of normal operation. However, if the counter is rapidly incrementing and there is a traffic disruption, then this may be caused by a misconfiguration or a software defect. Use the following commands to gather more information about this counter and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further.

    capture <name> type asp-drop vpn-missing-decrypt
    show asp table classify
    show asp drop
    show tech-support

Syslogs:
    No new syslogs accompany this event.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-bad-decrypt-rule
The flow could not be created because a wrong decryption policy was hit:
    This is a transient condition when clustering is enabled and vpn-mode is     set to distributed.

Recommendations:
It is possible to see this counter increment as part of normal operation. However, if the counter is rapidly incrementing and there is a traffic disruption, then this may be caused by a misconfiguration or a software defect. Use the following commands to gather more information about this counter and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further.

    show asp drop
    show tech-support

Syslogs:
    No new syslogs accompany this event.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: vpn-invalid-encryption
The flow is dropped because encryption flag was not set:

Recommendations:
It is possible to see this counter increment as part of normal operation. However, if the counter is rapidly incrementing and there is a traffic disruption, then this may be caused by a misconfiguration or a software defect. Use the following commands to gather more information about this counter and contact the Cisco TAC to investigate the issue further.

    show asp drop
    show tech-support

Syslogs:
    No new syslogs accompany this event.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: out-of-memory
No memory to complete flow:
    This counter is incremented when the appliance is unable to create a flow because of insufficient memory.

Recommendation:
    Verify that the box is not under attack by checking the current connections. Also verify if the configured timeout values are too large resulting in idle flows residing in memory longer. Check the free memory available by issuing 'show memory'.  If free memory is low, issue the command 'show processes memory' to determine which processes are utilizing most of the memory.

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: parent-closed
Parent flow is closed:
    When the parent flow of a subordinating flow is closed, the subordinating flow is also closed.  For example, an FTP data flow (subordinating flow) will be closed with this specific reason when its control flow (parent flow) is terminated.  This reason is also given when a secondary flow (pin-hole) is closed by its controlling application.  For example, when the BYE messaged is received, the SIP inspection engine (controlling application) will close the corresponding SIP RTP flows (secondary flow).

Recommendation:
    None.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: closed-by-inspection
Flow closed by inspection:
    This reason is given for closing a flow due to an error detected during application inspection.  For example, if an error is detected during inspecting an H323 message, the corresponding H323 flow is closed with this reason.

Recommendation:
    None.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: fo-primary-closed
Failover primary closed:
    Standby unit received a flow delete message from the active unit and terminated the flow.

Recommendation:
    If the appliance is running stateful failover, then this counter should increment for every replicated connection that is torn down on the standby appliance.

Syslogs:
    302014, 302016, 302018


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: fo-standby
Flow closed by failover standby:
    If a through-the-box packet arrives at an appliance or context is in a Standby state, and a flow is created, the packet is dropped and the flow removed.  This counter will increment each time a flow is removed in this manner.

Recommendation:
    This counter should never be incrementing on the Active appliance or context. However, it is normal to see it increment on the Standby appliance or context.

Syslogs:
    302014, 302016, 302018


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: fo_rep_err
Standby flow replication error:
    Standby unit failed to replicate a flow.

Recommendation:
    If appliance is processing VPN traffic, then this counter could be constantly increasing on the standby unit because of the flow could be replicated before the IKE SA info. No action is required in this case. If the appliance is not processing VPN traffic, then this indicate a software detect, turn on the debug: "debug fover fail" on the standby unit, collect the debug output, and report the problem to Cisco TAC.

Syslogs:
    302014, 302016, 302018


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: loopback
Flow is a loopback:
    This reason is given for closing a flow due to the following conditions: 1) when U-turn traffic is present on the flow, and, 2) 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface' is not configured.

Recommendation:
    To allow U-turn traffic on an interface, configure the interface with 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface'.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: acl-drop
Flow is denied by access rule:
     This counter is incremented when a drop rule is hit by the packet and flow creation is denied. This rule could be a default rule created when the box comes up, when various features are turned on or off, when an acl is applied to interface or any other feature etc. Apart from default rule drops, a flow could be denied because of:
     1) ACL configured on an interface
     2) ACL configured for AAA and AAA denied the user
     3) Thru-box traffic arriving at management-only ifc
     4) Unencrypted traffic arriving on a ipsec-enabled interface
     5) Implicity deny 'ip any any' at the end of an ACL

Recommendation:
    Observe if one of syslogs related to packet drop are fired. Flow drop results in the corresponding packet-drop that would fire requisite syslog.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: acl-drop-reclassify
Flow is denied by access rule after reclassification:
     This counter is incremented when a drop rule is hit by the packet during reclassification of ACL rules.

Recommendation:
    Observe if one of syslogs related to packet drop are fired. Flow drop results in the corresponding packet-drop that would fire requisite syslog.

Syslogs:
    None.


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: pinhole-timeout
Pinhole timeout:
    This counter is incremented to report that the appliance opened a secondary flow, but no packets passed through this flow within the timeout interval, and hence it was removed. An example of a secondary flow is the FTP data channel that is created after successful  negotiation on the FTP control channel.

Recommendation:
    No action required.

Syslogs:
    302014, 302016

    Reenable multicast if it is disabled.
    - OR -
    No action required.

Syslogs:
    None


----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: tcp-intercept-kill
Flow terminated by TCP Intercept:
    TCP intercept would teardown a connection if this is the first SYN, a connection is created for the SYN, and TCP intercept replied with a SYN cookie, or after seeing a valid ACK from client, when TCP intercept sends a SYN to server, server replies with a RST.

Recommendation:
    TCP intercept normally does not create a connection for first SYN, except when there are nailed rules or the packet comes over a VPN tunnel or the next hop gateway address to reach the client is not resolved. So for the first SYN this indicates that a connection got created. When TCP intercept receives a RST from server, its likely the corresponding port is closed on the server.

Syslogs:

    If NAT is not desired, disable "nat-control".  Otherwise, use the "static", "nat" or "global" command to configure NAT policy for the dropped flow.  For dynamic NAT, ensure that each "nat" command is paired with at least one "global" command.  Use "show nat" and "debug pix process" to verify NAT rules.

Name: flow-reclaimed
Non-tcp/udp flow reclaimed for new request:
    This counter is incremented when a reclaimable flow is removed to make room for a new flow.  This occurs only when the number of flows through the appliance equals the maximum number permitted by the software imposed limit, and a new flow request is received. When this occurs, if the number of reclaimable flows exceeds the number of VPN tunnels permitted by the appliance, then the oldest reclaimable flow is removed to make room for the new flow.  All flows except the following are deemed to be reclaimable:
    1. TCP, UDP, GRE and Failover flows
    2. ICMP flows if ICMP stateful inspection is enabled
    3. ESP flows to the appliance

Recommendation:
    No action is required if this counter is incrementing slowly. If this counter is incrementing rapidly, it could mean that the appliance is under attack and the appliance is spending more time reclaiming and rebuilding flows.
