Can't Connect to Console

[msenior73]

I'm trying to access our ASA 5512-X via the Management port, but the address https://192.168.1.1/admin can't be displayed.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Hello,

Have you configured HTTPS access via that interface?

I just took it out of the box and connected a computer to it and tried what the instructions listed.

Okay,

It's your computer on the same subnet than the ASA?

Do you have a console cable that you could use to connect to the box

[msenior73]

The computer got an IP from the firewall:

192.168.1.3

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

DHCP: 192.168.1.1 (firewall)

Hello Michael,

Okay, got it. That's good,

It might be a problem with the SSL certificate or trustpoint being provided by the ASA

Can you connect via console to the box so I can provide you some commands?

I have the console cable connected...how do I interface with it?

I found a program and am currently connected to it. Please let me know which commands I should run.

Add the following to make it work

ssl encryption aes128-sha1 3des-sha1

Error: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker:

You have to be on configuration mode
