Cisco 5516X: FTD to ASA ASDM

Hi All,

We have just purchased a newly Cisco 5516X and it is in FTD mode, this has not yet registered to smart software licensing server. We would prefer it on ASA mode so it can be easily managed through asdm.  

 

Can I just do the instructions from cisco website without doing the step 1 and 2? 

Step 1

If you are managing the FTD from the Firepower Management Center, delete the device from the FMC.

Step 2

If you are managing the FTD using Firepower Device Manager, be sure to unregister the device from the Smart Software Licensing server, either from the FDM or from the Smart Software Licensing server.

 

and start directly from Step 3?

Step 3

Download the ASA image (see Download Software) to a TFTP server accessible by the FTD on the Management interface.

For the ASA 5506-X, 5508-X, 5516-X, ISA 3000: You must use the Management 1/1 port to download the image. For the other models, you can use any interface.

Always thankful to you all.

Hi,

If you haven't registered the device using FDM or FMC then you can skip those steps.

 

Here is the FTD to ASA re-imaging guide, this should guide you through all the steps:
