Hi,

This model is too old and end of support. there is no listing in OS downloads for this model.

EOL Note-https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/asa-5500-series-next-generation-firewalls/eol_C51-727283.html

i found some information and it say you can upgrade!

as noted by @Kasun Bandara The ASA 5510 is EOL. Even cisco software download portal does not host this software anymore. Unless otherwise, if you can reach to your cisco representative (cisco account manager) which also means you need this hardware support under cisco support.

if you do not have the support with cisco plus as said earlier the cisco software portal even does not have software for 5510. you only best bet is to download from thrid parties website. If this unit is in production personally, I shall not download it from third part/ies. as big risk are involve.

your only best option is to upgrade to new model. But I understand the budget etc. so offically, you are out of luck. Unless otherwise you want to explore other means to upgrade the software getting it from third party.

Hi,

sorry, this is a third party forum comment. officially you cannot download OS for this firewall. you can use 3rd party images, but cannot trust the integrity or image security.

ASA 5505 images are still available and are the same as are used on ASA 5510.

So you can run ASA 9.1(7)32 found here:

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/280582808/type/280775065/release/9.1.7%20Interim

...if you have entitlement.

@Marvin Rhoads I had a look and thought it will not support 5510. but Thank you for putting myself in right direction too. Always learn new things from you.

@Ibrohim as Marvin mentioned yes you can go ahead and upgrade the 5510 with 9.1.x version.

however, you on 8.0 you can go to 9.1. you have to upgrade to 8.0 to 8.3 and 8.3 to 9.x

below are the links

here is the link for that
