Cisco Security Appliances

To integrate JSA Risk Manager with your network devices, ensure that you review the requirements for the Cisco Security Appliances adapter.

The following features are available with the Cisco Security Appliances adapter:

Neighbor data support
Static NAT
SNMP discovery
EIGRP and OSPF dynamic routing
Static routing
IPSEC tunneling
Telnet and SSH connection protocols

The Cisco Security Appliances adapter collects device configurations by backing up Cisco family devices. The Cisco Security Appliances adapter supports the following firewalls:

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) 5500 series
Firewall Service Module (FWSM)
Module in a Catalyst chassis
Established Private Internet Exchange (PIX) device.

Note:

Cisco ASA transparent contexts cannot be placed in the JSA Risk Manager topology, and you cannot do path searches across these transparent contexts.

The following table describes the integration requirements for the Cisco Security Appliances adapter.

Table 1: Integration Requirements for the Cisco Security Appliances Adapter
Integration requirement	Description
Versions	ASA: 8.2 to 9.13
Minimum User Access Level	privilege level 5 You can back up devices with privilege level 5 access level. For example, you can configure a level 5 user that uses local database authentication by running the following commands: `aaa authorization command LOCAL` `aaa authentication enable console LOCAL` `privilege cmd level 5 mode exec command terminal` `privilege cmd level 5 mode exec command changeto` (multi-context only) `privilege show level 5 mode exec command running-config` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command startup-config` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command version` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command shun` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command names` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command interface` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command pager` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command arp` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command route` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command context` `privilege show level 5 mode exec command mac-address-table`
SNMP discovery	Matches PIX or Adaptive Security Appliance or Firewall Service Module in SNMP sysDescr.
Required credential parameters To add credentials in JSA log in as an administrator and use Configuration Source Management on the Admin tab.	Username Password Enable Password
Supported connection protocols To add protocols in JSA, log in as an administrator and use Configuration Source Management on the Admin tab.	Use any one of the following supported connection protocols: Telnet SSH SCP
Required commands that the adapter requires to log in and collect data	`changeto context <context>` `changeto system` `show running-config` `show startup-config` `show arp` `show context` `show interface` `show mac-address-table` `show names` `show ospf neighbor` `show route` `show shun` `show version` `terminal pager 0` `show interface detail` `show crypto ipsec sa` `show eigrp topology` `show eigrp neighbors` `show firewall` `show dns` The `changeto context <context>` command is used for each context on the ASA device. The `changeto system` command detects whether the system has multi-context configurations and determines the admin-context. The `changeto context` command is required if the `changeto system` command has a multi-context configuration or admin-configuration context. The `terminal pager` command is used to turn off paging behavior.
