No, tftp is the only way.

Are you able to ping the tftp server from the ASA? and also is there any firewall on the tftp server that might prevents tftp request?

Since you would like to use the version 8.3 or possibly above, i would recommend that you use the latest available on cisco download site which is asa844-1-k8.bin. This will work on ASA5505.

Do you mean it is now been upgraded to version 8.4.4? and you would like to configure the ASA via ASDM?

Can you pls share the output of "show version", and also have you had the ASDM image uploaded to the ASA?

Pls also share: "show flash" output.

And lastly, your current configuration: "show run"

This is strange as you can't even ping the server ip address from the ASA. That means you don't even have connectivity to the server.

How do you connect the server to the ASA? and also pls ensure that you connect to ethernet0/1 as stated above. Also what cable do you use to connect the ASA and the server?

Also pls also check that the image is placed in the root directory of your tftp server.

hi jenni

Can we upload file in flash physically like we remove it from asa device and upload flash through card reader and place it back ? like we usully do for SDrams

Re: ASA IOS upload In Rommon Mode

Jennifer Halim — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:44:20 GMT

No, unfortunately you can't do that. that is not a supported feature on ASA.

Re: ASA IOS upload In Rommon Mode

Muhammad Thanveer — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:34:53 GMT

Hi Syed Sajjad,

Use ZMODEM. connect through console---Go to hyperterminal--->Goto Transfer--->SendFile-->Browse the Image and most probably You will be able to upload.

Please rate if information is helpful.

Hi Syed,

If you have any XP pc then you may copy hypertrm.exe and hypertrm.dll then you may use the hyperterminal by double clicking upon hypertrm.exe

Please rate if this is useful.

Re: ASA IOS upload In Rommon Mode

Before doing this make sure that your IOS is copied in your local desktop.

Is the ASA box is of prodution material or is it a spare box. If you have the backup ready then erase the ios and try zmodem. This may be helpful.
