client error

"Our team tried to log a call of firewall for the location where it was replaced, but it is showing the below error.

Solution




First of all you need to be sure that you used the correct activation-key for the correct device. The activation-key is based on the serial number and must be generated by the licensing team.
  1. Lost activation-key: The activation-key can be regenerated by licensing team. You need to send the serial number and/or PAK number to licensing@cisco.com . May be licensing team could request from you different information like contract number in case.
  2. License key is correct, but not take effect: If you see the correct activation-key under the "show activation-key", please try to reboot the device. If it doesn't help, please do the followings as a "lost activation-key".
  3. RMA
  4. Customer bought a new ASA, can he/she transfer the license? Licenses are permanent. Once issued, they can never be revoked or  transferred. Since the only way to provide a license for a different  device is by issuing a brand new one and not removing their old one, any  desire to provide special discounts in this instance need to be handled  through the sales process / deals desk.

IronPort Web Security Appliance (WSA) with Cisco ASA (Filtering)

Image
Technology Overview The Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance (WSA) is a web proxy that works with other Cisco network components to monitor and control outbound requests for Web content and scrubs return traffic for unwanted or malicious content (Figure 1). Figure 1. Logical Traffic Flow Using WSA The Cisco WSA is deployed on a network using one or more interfaces that are used to forward requests and responses. Traffic can be directed to the WSA using either explicit proxies configured on the end host, or using a network protocol like Web Cache Control Protocol (WCCP) running on an inline device like the perimeter firewall or router. Configration example 1. Allow the Ironport out through the firewall: access-list acl_inside extended permit tcp host 192.168.1.1 any   2. Create a new acl containing the members of the wccp group. in our example, it is just 1 Ironport access-list ironport-allow extended permit ip host 192.
