ASA 5520 ASA/ASDM image

[rabih_saleh]

Hi,

I have a CISCO ASA 5520 with ASA version 7.0(8) and ASDM version 5.0(8) I need to upgrade it to new image, I’m confusing which version I have to select since my requirement only to view the IPv6 on ASDM. The existing ASDM doesn't show the IPv6; please can you help me on which version I have to select for ASA image and ASDM? And I don't think I have to select the latest version!

Thanks,

Rabih

Hello Rabih,

IPv6 support for ASA in available with ASA 7.2 or higher.

Here is a guide to configure the same : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/int5505.html

IPv6 is supported in both transparent and routed modes. The ASA 8.2 Release introduces transparent mode support.

If  you are familiar with ASA 8.3 or above style of configuration, then  follow this document and you can upgrade to ASA 8.4.1 (latest available)  : https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-12690

else you can upgrade to ASA 8.2.4.

Please note, you need to follow this path to upgrade : current -> 7.2.5 -> 8.0.5 -> 8.2.4 or current -> 7.2.5 -> 8.4.1

Please check the changes, minimum requirements of ASA 8.4 before upgrade.

You can use the latest ASDM 6.4.1 with both ASA 8.4.1 & 8.2.4.

Hope this helps.
