How to set ASDM image on ASA remain factory-default

[Atsushi Ikeda]

Hi, Cisco Support Community

I want to configure an ASA to facotry-default using the following commands.

# configure factory-default

# wr mem

But when I use above commands, ASDM is to be unset !

How can I set ASDM remain factory-default ? I don't want to include " #asdm image disk0:/~~.bin" command in configuration because it is not factory-default configuration.

I don't know why I can do that on ASDM.

First , Upgrade ASA&ASDM on ASDM.

Second Operae factory-default and reboot on ASDM.

Then ASA is to be factory-default and set ASDM image.

I want to do that with CLI.

Thanks in advance.

hi ,

I believe in order to access the asa via ASDM that is the minumum configuration. you need to have an asdm image in the flash.

Type "show asdm image" if its not set then you need to manually specify it.

Thank you for reply.

Of course I put ASDM image on ASA.

You know we can launch ASDM on truly factory-default ASA.

I mean how I can reset ASA to that condition using CLI.

a problem is below.

1. put ASDM image on asa flash

2. (configure)#asdm image disk0:~~

3.#show asdm image

>> the image is set

4 (config)#configure factory-default

5.#show asdm image

>> unset

How can I truly reset to factory-default ?

yes if you do a factory reset i think it removes the bare minimum configuration required for asdm , anyway what is your goal in doing factory reset ? do you see any issues having to configure that one command?

Thank you
