How to Config ASA 5505

Amir Eskandari

Hi there,

I am new in Firewall.

I have a test ASA 5505 at home.

The DHCP IP address in my real home firewall is 192.168.1.x and as you are aware the default ip address in ASA is the same.

I have searched a lot to learn how to configure the ASA.

In the link below there is an instruction, it seems it is working for everybody except me. I followed the instruction up and the only change was assigning the IP address, which I chose something other than 192.168.1.x

But after the step of creating NAT, I do not have access to the internet.

Also I followed the link below, but the revision of the ASDM in the instruction does not match with mine, so I was not lucky to figure the device.

Now my questions:

1- How can I configre the ASA 5505 with an IP address different than 192.168.1.x (at home = no incoming static IP address = DHCP on subnet 192.168.1.x for the incomming internet)

I have installed ASDM 6.3 on my laptop (From work) but when I connect to the ASA it wants to install ASDM 5.7.

I tried to connect to the device through ASDM 6.3 and input the IP address 192.168.1.1

It takes for ever and it does not connect to the device

2-  How can I connect to the device by ASDM 6.3 or any ASDM with higher version than the original of the device?

Thank you in advance for your time

I have asdm-603.msi

I installed it and tried to connect to the device, it asked me to update and I accepted.

and got the error message below

How to upgrade ASA image?      

Use the same method you used to upload the ASDM image to flash, then make sure you are going to use the new file.

"boot system flash:/"

This file also explains it:
