Help with ASA (5520) Basics (ASDM)

dsm600rr · ‎09-01-2021

Hello all,

Very new here and to Cisco, so I apologize if this is not the correct spot to post.

So I am a ACSS Certified Avaya Engineer and I am looking to get more into Networking.

I have an older 5520 ASA that I was able to Factory Default and load the default config.

My ASA is running: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.1(7)

The Problem I am running into, if I go to: https://192.168.1.1 and install the ASDM Launcer (Cisco ASDM 7.1(3)) - It installs however I never see the program shortcut to run it.

If I navigate to the install folder, I can run it however:

I also cannot get the Java Web Start to work, and I installed the latest Java:

PC is running Windows 10. Any help would be appreciated.

Appreciate the suggestions. Same issues. I ran the commands and its almost like they dont take. I can still log back in to CLI without the password I set:

@dsm600rr ,

Test the asdm access, the aaa authentication http console LOCAL is used for asdm not CLI.

if ASDM Access did not work, and since it's not a production environment, use :

logg console 7

logg on

Test the asdm authentication

no logg console 7

no logg on

Share the attached Logs.

Can you expand a bit? Still very new.

I have my laptop patched into the Management Port and Console Cable in the Condole Port.

"Test the asdm access, the aaa authentication http console LOCAL is used for asdm not CLI." - Not sure what you mean here. How to test?

Here is how I cleared the ASA, thats about as far as I got.

en = privilege mode, short for enable
password = press enter for no password
wr er = write erase to erase the current configuration
confirm by pressing enter
show startup-config = should now show “No Configuration”
reload noconfirm = Reboots ASA
Pre-Configure firewall now thorough interactive prompts: no
en = privilege mode, short for enable
password = press enter for no password
conf t = configure terminal
config factory-default = loads the factory default configuration
wr = write memory (saves the configuration)
show startup-config = should now show the new default configuration
