ASA 5510 intial setup???

[Gary Lefebvre]

I am trying to connect my asa to my network. I am new to firewalls. I started with setting the management0/0 interface on an ip address of 192.168.1.2/24 and connected it to my router with 192.168.1.1/24. Both interfaces are on the same subnet. I tried to ping the router gateway from the asa, (ping 192.168.1.1) and I get ????? From there i setup (nameif inside) and tried the same ping and got ?????

I am trying to setup tftp so I can upgrade the IOS...

Kind regards,

Gary Lefebvre

Hi Gary,

Could you share if you have a switch which is connecting management port of ASA to inside port of router and whether switch is allowing the communication.

Thanks,

yes, it is a wireless router and the switch portion fa0/0 is connected to the asa management0/0

i tried both cross-over and straight though cables still no communication

Hi Gary,

Just check if the ports are mapped to same vlan or different vlan , it looks like it must be a problem on switch config as there is nothing much which needs to be done on firewall as it is a direct subnet.

Thanks,
