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.

I've hit another problem with the Management console. I changed the IP to one on our network and the same issue happens with not being able to display the console.

I checked the SSL settings and they remain the same after we changed them.

Any idea why changing the IP would prevent access?

http nameif new_subnet new_netmask

example

http inside 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

Well, I'm trying to connect to the console and now it's a dead connection. It's connected via HyperTerminal, but hitting Enter does nothing.

Any ideas, or does it need to reset?

[msenior73]

Okay, had to power cycle it to regain a connection.

I tried entering http inside 172.16.x.x 255.255.255.0 and I get an error saying Invalid Hostname

Do I need to replace inside with something else?

Hi,

The correct configuration format for what you are trying to do is

http

So

http 172.16.x.x 255.255.255.0 inside

Jouni:

When I entered that, I received an error saying Invalid input detected at ^ marker, and the marker was underneath the first i in inside

[Julio Carvajal]

Hello Michael,

My bad, as Jouni said the commands are :

http 0 0 inside

but you have to be on configuration mode

config te

http 0 0 inside

Regards,

Julio

I was in config when I typed the http 0 0 inside and received the Invalid input message.

Do I need to change to the management port then try the http?

[msenior73]

Okay, figured part of it out.  I had to put in http _{management since that's the port.}

It comes back with a warning saying IP address and netmask inconsistent

[Julio Carvajal]

show us the exact command you are typing:

Why dont you set it like this:

http 0 0 managment

[msenior73]

I typed in http 172.16.x.x 255.255.255.0 management

That's when I get the IP address and netmask inconsistent message

[Julio Carvajal]

Hello Michael,

I need the full output not x.x

I would say you are entering your pc address, if that is the case the netmask should be 255.255.255.255

[Jouni Forss]

Hi,

You still arent showing us the complete command

If I would have to guess you ARE NOT using the network address but a single host IP address

If your network is for example 172.16.1.0/24 then use the command

http 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 management

You are probably trying to enter something like

http 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0 management

Which the ASA wont accept

Oh...sorry

I'm typing in

http 172.16.1.3 255.255.255.0 management

How would I assign the port a static address then?  Would http 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 management give it a static ip?
