Hello Everybody.

I tried to start my ASA 5510 for first time, and the issue is that it is directly running in ROMMON mode.

So I want to know why is it starting in this mode? what could likely be the problem?

Also i resquest anybody who has a solution to help me solving this issue.

Please it is very urgent.

Thank you all for precious help!

P.S: Below is the startup config of my firewall

Hi,

To my understanding the ASA should only go to ROMMON if you choose it while the device is booting OR if there is no software image on the Flash memory of the ASA OR if the image file on the Flash memory is somehow corrupted.

Could you perhaps copy/paste the whole output when the ASA is booting up?

Thank you Sir.

I finally found out the issue.

It was due to lack of IOS.
