In this example I upgraded to 9.1.7 and ASDM 7.7.1. The 5505 has one particular site-to-site VPN that connects a /24 subnet on my end with three /24 subnets on the distant end. I know that version 8.2 is a problem, but its not the immediate problem. Its slated to be replaced with a 5508-X, but thats a few months down the road. Now save config, and reboot – That’s it! Reading the release notes is super important to know what has changed, and if there is a certain firmware you need to be at before upgrading. I inherited a network using a Cisco ASA 5505, v8.2.

Simply connect a PC to the first port on the switch and point a web browser at the. ASA code is too old, some NAT and other stuff may break while your upgrade process. VIP-ASA(config)# asdm image disk0:/asdm-771.binĭevice Manager image file, disk0:/asdm-771.bin For installation, you tread a very similar path as for the ISR appliances. To setup port forwarding on a Cisco ASA (5505 or 5506 on my systems but is applicable to any.

VIP-ASA(config)# no boot system disk0:/asa821-k8.binĬurrent BOOT variable = disk0:/asa917-12-k8.bin Since the production ASA 5505 has been kept up to date, in the event of a failure I would like to have a 'drop in' replacement until the support.

Great, our images are on the flash, now we need to set our boot variables. Then I moved those over to my TFTP server directory. In this scenario I am using TFTP64 to copy the files over but if I had a Flash drive handy I would have went that route.įirst I downloaded the newest images from Cisco, both for the ASDM and the ASA firmware. In this case I have Cisco ASA 5505 running newer 9.X firmware, and just want both the ASA and ASDM images to be the latest suggested. Remember to always read the release notes of the firmware you are installing. I decided to write up the steps so I could always refer back to this if I get hit in the head really hard and forget, which is very likely to happen.
