Boot User Password 153An ASA 310-FIPS Stops Processing TrafficWhenever an ASA 310-FIPS has undergone a reboot (whetherintentionally invoked by the user, or due to a power failure), the devicestops processing SSL traffic. This behavior is perfectly normal, and is dueto the high security demands placed on the ASA 310-FIPS.To make an ASA 310-FIPS start processing SSL traffic again, log in to theHSM cards using the HSM-USER iKey associated to each card. Loggingin 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 Action1 Log in to the specific ASA 310-FIPS that has undergone areboot as the admin or oper user.login: adminPassword: Alteon iSD SSLSoftware version 7.1When connecting to the ASA 310-FIPS, you can use a consoleconnection, or a remote connection (Telnet or SSH, if enabled inthe system configuration).Note: It is important that you log in to the particular ASA310-FIPS on which a reboot has occurred, and not to theManagement IP address (MIP) of the cluster.2 Log in to each HSM card consecutively by inserting thecorrect HSM-USER iKey and providing the associatedpassword.Remember that each HSM card requires inserting the specificHSM-USER iKey that was used when initializing that particularHSM card. This holds true even if you use the same passwordfor both HSM-USER iKeys.Nortel VPN GatewayUser GuideNN46120-104 02.01 Standard14 April 2008Copyright © 2007-2008 Nortel Networks.
