ASA context mode

[mj11]

Hi All

I am trying to change the ASDM listening port number within a context but getting the following error:

DMZwebcon(config)#http server enable 444

                               ^

ERROR: % Invalid Hostname

Is this commad only available in the admin/system context or a software issue???

Any help welcome

Regards MJ

Hi MJ,

Please refer to

http server enable

To enable the adaptive security appliance HTTP server, use the http server enable command in global configuration mode. To disable the HTTP server, use the no form of this command.

http server enable [port]

Syntax Descriptionno http server enable [port]

port	The port to use for HTTP connections. The range is 1-65535. The default port is 443.

Defaults

The HTTP server is disabled.

Command Modes

The following table shows the modes in which you can enter the command:

Command Mode	Firewall Mode		Security Context
	Routed	Transparent	Single	Multiple
				Context	System
Global configuration	•	—	•	—	—

Basically, since the VPN functionality is lost when you pass to multiple context, there is no real need to change the default SSL port on the ASA, hence the command  is not supported on that specific mode.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
