slow internet connextion behind asa 5510 ios 8.2

chacha-micha
Level 1
Level 1

hello;

excuse me ; i am not good in english but i would like to post in this forum our problem

I am new to the cisco asa; 

we have installed an asa 5510 with 3 interfaces : dmz (web server 172.20.0.59;application server 172.20.0.58; server mail 172.20.0.157), inside (lan) and outside (connected to a router for internet connexion).

the problem is that the connexion internet is slow in the inside (lan).

our dns is in the ouside with ip address x.x.x.60 ( the dns have translated addresse to inside and dmz 172.20.0.60). the router connected to our IPS have x.x.x.33 (our default gateway for internet). there is a simple switch between firewall and router. the inside interface of the asa is connected to catalyst cisco 6509 (the interface gigabit of the 6509 is configured to auto speed and duplex).  the asa have base lisence.

here is the configuration of the asa and the output of commandes show interfaces (inside, outside), show asp drop , show perform.

i see overrun and underruns errors in both interfaces inside and outside.  but no idea to resolve it. the internet connection has become very slow in the lan.

. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Chacha,

First of all here is a good explanation of what is happening here:

overrun

Description: The number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer.

Common Cause: The input rate of traffic exceeded the ability of the receiver to handle the data.

underruns

Description: The number of times that the transmitter has been that run faster than the switch can handle.

Common Causes: This  can occur in a high throughput situation where an interface is hit with  a high volume of bursty traffic from many other interfaces all at once. Interface resets can occur along with the underruns.

So the problem it is behind the inside interface, as you can see from the DMZ you do not have the same issues, I would start hardcoding the duplex and speed on the ASA and internal switch, try that and let us know.

Regards,

Julio

hello,

thank you for the reply

I verified that both interfaces (inside of the asa and the interface of 6509 connected to the asa) have the same configuration for speed and duplex.

i had tried the both configuration (full duplex and speed 100 ) and (duplex auto and speed auto) but the underruns and overruns errors still appear.

the 6509 has only full and half duplex there is not duplex auto command so i had configured the duplex for full at the interface of the 6509 inftead of auto.

regards,

Hello Chacha,

Can you connect a PC directly to the ASA ( to a non-used port)  without a switch so you can test the speed of the connection.

That would let you know the problem is not on the ASA or if the case Its the ASA but based on the information you just gave me do not think its an ASA issue!

Regards,

Julio
