Hi All

I have cisco ASA 5510 firewall running 8.4.7 ios and I want to configure ASDM however I install different asdm and asdm idm launcher and none of them are working, is there any compatibility matrix for the ASA IOS & ASDM version?

@henokk601 there is an ASA/ASDM compatibility matrix, but this does not include 8.x as that is very EOL. Guide here for reference - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/upgrade/asa-upgrade/planning.html#id_59003

The ASA version that old will not support TLS 1.2 and most modern browsers have depreciated TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, so you might need to hack the browser to use the older insecure TLS versions in order to connect to ASDM. You should also ensure you upgrade java.

ASA 5510 - 8.4.7 may have limitations, upgrade to 9.2.4 which is the last version available as per I know.

but make sure there is some features changes when you upgrade from 8. x to 9.2.4
