ASA5510 - Cannot SSH or ASDM To Management Interface, Transparent Mode

Robert Ho
Level 1
Level 1

I try to SSH and get access denied.

I try to ASDM and get "Unable to launch device manager from 172.16.252.100"

I think I am missing something. Software is 8.4(5) and running in Transparent Mode.

Inside/Outside are in bridge-group 1. No BVI is configured as we will be using Management0/0 for access.

login as: test

test@172.16.252.100's password:

Access denied

Hello Robert,

From witch Ip address are you trying to connect?

From same subnet as the mgmt interface, 172.16.252.5.

I think if we can get the SSH resolved, it would fix it for ASDM as well.

cap test interface managment match tcp host 172.16.252.5 host  172.16.252.100 eq 22

cap asp type asp-drop all circular-buffer

then try to connect once and share the following:

show cap asp | include 172.16.252.5

show cap test

Share the output

Hello Robert,

What is the Mac address of that PC,

Can you check in the ASA CAM table if that address is in there? That seems to be the problem!!

We ran out of time and moved forward with BVI and it worked.

The MGMT IP had to be changed to match that of the network that the ASA is bridging.

Do you have a complete config that is working? We will have to revisit this when we are back onsite. I am either missing something or Management0/0 does not work with this code. OS is 8.4(5) on an ASA5510.

Thank you

Hello Robert,

It should be working, config is good and pretty simple.

Seems like the ASA was complaining about the MAC address not being on the CAM table,

Let's see what happens when  you test it okay?
