Everything working fine today, then this:
"I am running some issues with my outlook these two days.
It is hardly connected to the server, thus stop downloading emails to my outlook.
I am currently physically in China. Could you help look at what is going on?"
Ugh! Hate these e-mails!!
So, I got the following response on why I need 8.3: Based on the debugging information, lack of proper ikev2 support appears to be involved in the connectivity failures. Unless the device is upgraded to firmware version 8.3 or later, but I you cannot use it to establish a site-to-site tunnel to Azure
The band Clutch may have some of the coolest lyrics in rock and metal. Here's a sample from Sleestak Lighting:
West Virginia has its Moth Man,
Pan handlers' got their Skunk Ape.
But I have a taser and night vision goggles,
Costco rolls of black duct tape.
It's got red eyes, it's got razor claws,
It's got green skin, no it ain't a meth-head.
And after studying its behavior, objectively and critically,
I believe I have a reliable method.
I use it on my Mac. I have issues with installations, but I have a workaround that isn't all that great, but it gets the job done.
I get a reaction on painkillers too. Ibuprofen works perfectly fine.
I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled. I had dinner 2 hours later.
I am asking the person who said I needed the update what SPECIFIC issue causes us to do the update. Let's see what they say.

In any case - a Ubiquiti Edge Router is approximately $100 - what's the issue in buying one of these?
Just a lack of knowledge on them, that's all.

5510s are fine, I'm not implying anything. Just that the cost to keep them working is probably really high when alternatives might be free or cheap.
I understand and didn't say you were implying anything.
That's what I'm thinking!! Free though? Hmmm...I didn't think there were any free alternatives.
VPN tech is "always" free
There are only two really major VPN types out there, IPSec and SSL. Cisco just uses standard IPSec, not aware of anything proprietary, that's why it can talk to "anything". Why Azure is a problem, no idea.
So, is it possible that the firmware update isn't needed and they are blowing smoke up my ass?
Unless there is a known bug in the ASA firmware that causes issues with Azure, sure sounds like it.
Interesting!

Right now, everything works fine. Was told that in order to have a site to site connection, I need to be a 8.3 firmware. I think I'm on 8.1.
To be honest, I haven't looked at alternatives yet. The past 3 jobs have all had 5510's, so that's all I've known for like the past 10 years or whatever LOL.
Alternative ideas are welcome!!
Got an old ASA 5510 that works fine, but needs a firmware update. The reason we need to be updated is for it to work for Azure, which will hold our data (1DC, 1 fileserver...easy beans). In order to get this update, you have to be on a Smartnet contract. I'm wondering if this isn't the best way to spend the $$$. We are talking a few servers and a VOIP phone system onsite.re
Any ideas? Would you keep what is working and go with Smartnet, or ditch it and get a cheaper firewall?

(I don't follow sports very closely, but you gotta be happy when your traditionally mediocre home team goes all the way).
Birds are playing a sport now?
Yes, they are. And apparently, they are sportsing harder and playing sportsball better than most of the other teams.
Who are the Falcons sportsing against in the Super Bowl?
My Patriots!! Hoping Brady gets his 5th ring.
Come on, y'all should let us have just one.... Atlanta sports teams never win anything.
Any other year when the Pats are not in it. This one is important in a lot of ways.
P.S. Matty Heisman is awesome and we like him up here. BC alumn.

Dude, it's a forum. It's not his full time job to make sure there is a 1 call resolution. We do what we can in the time allotted for this.

I submitted my claim on a class-action lawsuit about milk prices. The payout depends, but it could be up to $70. I buy a lot of milk so hell yeah I'm putting my name in there!

Ehh?? We generally use about 2-3 gallons of milk a week....
Yeah...15 states are involved.
