ASA 5506-X missing ASDM

NeverOutofTune

Level 1

Unboxed a new ASA5506-X, powered up and started following the quick start guide.  I don't have a inside switch and don't need the Firepower configured.  I connected a PC to gi1/2, received an IP address 192.168.1.5.  According to the Quick Start Guide, I should be able to browse to https://192.168.1.1/admin and launch the ASDM.  I would also assume since I already have ASDM linstalled, I could run it directly and connect to 192.168.1.1.

 

This does not work as I get a page not found.  I can ping 192.168.1.1.

 

Connected a console cable and did a dir and I don't see the ASDM image.  This is all I have:

Do I need to copy the ASDM-743.bin to the firewall?

I'll answer my own question.  Yes, I needed to TFTP asdm-743.bin to the firewall.  Odd that the ASDM binary file was not in flash.

I'm in the same situation, could you please tell me how you accessed the asdm-743.bin file?  

Presumably it was via the Cisco Support website, however I am currently unable to download the file due to apparently not having some sort of software support contract?  I'd appreciate any additional info you can provide.

I do have a support contract and was able download the software.

You should be able to open a warranty case via the Chat Now feature at:

https://tools.cisco.com/ServiceRequestTool/scm/mgmt/case

or 800-553-2447

and request the software.
