Already have 512M ram in the ASA
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsWe have approximately 1000 MTA's routed through a cisco ASA with failover running version 8.2(1) This has worked fine for several months until today when suddenly calls started dropping and the MTA's would not reconnect. Then the number off connections on the ASA started ramping up to 4000 connections (where it had been normally sitting at about 1500) then it would fail over to the second ASA and the cycle would begin again.
We originally had version 7.2(3) and after the problem started, we were advised to upgrade, but no improvement was made.
By adjusting the sip time out down to 5 minutes (From 30) we can control the rate of failure better, but that is all.
We suspect our vendor that is supplying the dial tone made some change or had some failure, but is not fessing up (not the first time) but we have to prove they are the problem before they will do anything.
Any help or guidance as to what we should do next would be appreciated!

Did you upgraded the memory of your ASA, the 8.2(1) experience of love, if there are some 512M of memory!
