ASDM Access on ASA
! This video will show you how to access ASA using ASDM
! To configure ASDM we need HTTP enabled on ASA
! HTTP requires username and Password
! Step 1
! Let’s configure an IP address on ASA and PC
Configure terminal
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
nameif INSIDE
security-level 100
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
PC
! Lets ping
-------------
! To configure ASDM we need ASDM image uploaded on FW.
! We need to enable HTTP
! We need to allow HTTP connections from PC on INSIDE Interface
! We need to enable local authentication
! We need JAVA application to run ASDM
-----------
! Step 2
! Let's verify ASDM image in flash
show flash
! We can see there is no ASDM image in flash so we can upload from PC
! To upload ASDM image from PC we need TFTP software in PC
---------------
! Step 3
! We have asdm image in PC let's upload in ASA
copy tftp flash
192.168.1.2
asdm-714.bin
------------------------
! Step 4
! Now we need to set this image up for ASDM access in configuration mode
!
asdm image asdm-714.bin
!
show asdm image

!
http server enable

! Allow HTTP access from PC Network
!
http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 INSIDE

! Step 6
! Let's create a username and password with the privilege of 15
! You need privilege level of 15 to access ASDM Console
!
username Dinesh password cisco privilege 15
!
! Let's tell ASA to use local authentication for console and HTTP
!
aaa authentication http console LOCAL
