Enabling ASDM on PIX and ASA

ASA_firewall_policy_lgCisco Adaptive Security Device Manager provides setup wizards that help you configure and manage Cisco firewall devices, including:

  • the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliances,
  • Cisco PIX appliances,
  • Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Firewall Services Modules

All without “cumbersome” command-line scripts

pixfirewall> enable
Password:
pixfirewall# configure terminal
pixfirewall(Config)# interface ethernet1
pixfirewall(Config-if)# nameif inside
pixfirewall(Config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
pixfirewall(Config-if)# no shutdown
pixfirewall(Config-if)#

Activate ASDM and enable http server.

pixfirewall(Config)# asdm image flash:/asdm.bin.
pixfirewall(Config)# http server enable.

Open a connection for your PC.  Example your pc IP address is 192.168.1.2

pixfirewall(Config)# http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside

Verify the http server is running properly.

pixfirewall(Config)# show running http
http server enabled
http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside
pixfirewall(Config)#

Now your Cisco ASA/PIX can be access from your PC.
Make sure your PC and Firewall has connected and open your web browser then enter this address https://192.168.1.1/admin
