fwsm and Failed to determine security context

eric.loiseau

I use FWSM as multiple context routed( version 3.2.4 the last) , I use a share vlan as outside and 2 contexts and differents networks and vlans as

inside. Contexts are admin and context1.

I don't use any nat rules but when I generate traffic I have the message below only on admin context and no log on the secondary context.

106025: Failed to determine security context for packet

I use the same configuration as they explain in documentation.

is it really possible to use a shared vlan as outside ?

Do I need to use a separate outside network and vlan ?

Is the problem is the admin context ?

My arp table show that for the 2 IP addresses (admin & context1) they use the same mac address.

any advices ?

Regards

It is a good idea to configure different vlans for different context's in FWSM. Following link may help you
