An ASA 310-FIPS Stops Processing Traffic

Whenever an ASA 310-FIPS has undergone a reboot (whether intentionally invoked by the user, or due to a power failure), the device stops processing SSL traffic. This behavior is perfectly normal, and is due to the high security demands placed on the ASA 310-FIPS.

To make an ASA 310-FIPS start processing SSL traffic again, log in to the HSM cards using the HSM-USER iKey associated to each card. Logging in to the HSM cards will clear the alarms that were set during the reboot, and the ASA 310-FIPS will accept SSL traffic again.

Follow these steps to log in to the HSM cards:

Step Action

1Log in to the specific ASA 310-FIPS that has undergone a reboot as the admin or oper user.

login: admin

Password: <enter the admin user password>

Alteon iSD SSL

Software version 7.1

When connecting to the ASA 310-FIPS, you can use a console connection, or a remote connection (Telnet or SSH, if enabled in the system configuration).

Note: It is important that you log in to the particular ASA 310-FIPS on which a reboot has occurred, and not to the Management IP address (MIP) of the cluster.

2Log in to each HSM card consecutively by inserting the correct HSM-USER iKey and providing the associated password.

Remember that each HSM card requires inserting the specific HSM-USER iKey that was used when initializing that particular HSM card. This holds true even if you use the same password for both HSM-USER iKeys.
