Cisco’s ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manager) is the GUI that Cisco offers to
Unit 1: Basics of the ASA
configure and monitor your Cisco ASA firewall. In this lesson I’ll show you how you can Firewall
enable it. First of all, make sure you have the ASDM image on the flash memory of
Introduction to Firewalls
your ASA:
Cisco ASA Erase Configuration
If you don’t have one, copy it to the flash memory before you continue. Our next step
is to tell the ASA which ASDM image we want to use:
ASDM requires HTTP and it’s disabled by default, let’s enable it:
Instead of giving everyone access to the HTTP server we will specify which network and
interface are permitted to use the HTTP server:
This will only allow network 192.168.1.0 /24 on the inside interface to reach the HTTP
server. It might be even a better idea to only allow one or two IP addresses that you
use for management instead of an entire network.
That’s all we have to do on the ASA. Now you can open a web browser on your
computer, I’ll be using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer for this. Open the following

Hi Joseph,

Hello Christopher
When you say you weren’t able to “get thru” do you mean that you were unable to connect via a web GUI to the firewall? In order to use the ASDM
to configure the ASA, you must have layer 3 access. The console connection will not allow you to work with ASDM. Take a look at this Cisco
documentation on how to prep an ASA to function using ASDM 7.6.

HI,
Thank you for the link. Im still kind of stuck and wondered if you can point me in the right direction please. I have a cisco 2821 router with a gig0/0
interface plugged into the cisco asa 5510 ethernet 0/0 port. I have pasted in the asa config in hopes that you might see what might be wrong. i
cannot ping from the router to the asa. both are in the 192.168.2.0 subnet. i tried both straight and cross over after hearing that asa interfaces dont
have the auto sensing mdix stuff. could you let me know what my issue is please.
ciscoasa# sh running‐config

Hello Christopher
I’m not sure why you are unable to ping. However, you can turn debugging on on the ASA and see if the ping actually reaches the device, and if so
why it doesn’t respond. If there is no debug output, the ping doesn’t actually reach the device. If it does, it will tell you why/if it doesn’t respond.
As far as MDIX support, the ASA supports both crossover and straight-through cables.

If you are using an older version of asa and have errors regarding
“Inside interface not recognized on Cisco ASA-5505” Refer to the reference below. Here are the commands:
ciscoasa# conf t
ciscoasa(config)# interface vlan X
ciscoasa(config‐if)# nameif inside
INFO: Security level for "inside" set to 100 by default.
ciscoasa(config‐if)# security‐level Y
ciscoasa(config‐if)# ip address Z 255.255.255.0
ciscoasa(config‐if)# no shutdown
ciscoasa(config‐if)# end
