ASA 8.4 with ASDM on GNS3 Step by Step

Guide

Categories:

ASA, GNS3, Security

by malikyounas

This post details the method to connect to Firewall in GNS3 using

ASDM. You will establish ASDM session from your machine to GNS3

so we will be building connection/bridge between GNS3 and PC. Also

because first you will have to copy ASDM via TFTP to Firewall so this

connection is necessary.

1. Follow this guide about how to add a loopback adapter to Windows

7, Windows XP

Windows 7



http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-

US/w7itpronetworking/thread/259c7ef2-3770-4212-8fca-c58936979851

Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013

2. Restart your PC

3. Follow this guide about how to configure ASA 8.4(2) for GNS3.

http://www.xerunetworks.com/2012/02/cisco-asa-84-on-gns3/

4. Start a new Porject in GNS3 and drag/drop a ASA (8.4) firewall to the topology

5. Drag/Drop Cloud Object from Panel on the Left to the topology and right click it. Select 'Configure'.

Select 'C1' or whatever name of the object.

6. Now as per following diagram select the loopback adapter that you added in step 1.

7. Add the adapter as per following after selecting and press OK.

8. Drop an ethernet switch the topology. If you dont do this and try drawing a direct connection

between Firewall and Cloud it will come up with error saying 'Devices does not support this type of

NIO. Use an ETHSW to bridge the connection to the NIO Instead.

9. Connect both Cloud and Firewall to the Switch as following



10. Now start all devices in GNS and use following commands on the firewall to give it an IP.

ciscoasa# config t

ciscoasa(config)# int gi

ciscoasa(config)# int gigabitEthernet 0

ciscoasa(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

ciscoasa(config-if)# nameif management

ciscoasa(config-if)# no shut

11. Now, go back to Windows 7 and open 'Network and Sharing Centre', Click on Change adapter

settings and Change the IP Address of the Loopback adapater as following

12. You will have to turn off your PC firewall as you will be copying ASDM to ASA firewall. If you

dont know this, stop studying networking or stop the Windows Firewall Service or if that doesnt work

then Base Filtering Service.

13. Now you PC is ready to talk to firewall, lets try.

ciscoasa# ping 10.10.10.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/6/20 ms

ciscoasa#

14. OK, Now the next step is to copy ASDM to Firewall. If you already have TFTP Server installed,

cool otherwise Download and start this TFTP Application from following website



http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html

15. Download ASDM from Cisco website or any other dodgy source you have. I have ASDM 6.4(7)

downloaed.

16. On the TFTP application browse to the folder where you have downloaded ASDM.

17. On the firewall use following command to download TFTP Image.

ciscoasa# copy tftp flash

Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2

Source filename []? asdm-647.bin

Destination filename [asdm-647.bin]?

Accessing tftp://10.10.10.2/asdm-

647.bin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Output Omited

Writing current ASDM file disk0:/asdm-647.bin

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Output Omited

17902288 bytes copied in 56.500 secs (319683 bytes/sec)

ciscoasa#

18. Set the Firewall to Load the ASDM at next reboot and also identify the management Station IP

address

ciscoasa# sh flash

# length date/time path

2 4096 Mar 05 2012 13:40:42 log

9 4096 Mar 05 2012 13:40:47 coredumpinfo

268136448 bytes total (250191872 bytes free)

ciscoasa# config t

ciscoasa(config)# asdm image flash:asdm-647.bin

ciscoasa(config)# http server enable

ciscoasa(config)# http 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.255 management

ciscoasa(config)# username cisco password cisco privilege 15

19. use 'wr' command and then reload the firewall using 'reload' command

20. Launch your browser and go to https://10.10.10.1 (Disable Proxy if you are using any)

21. Download and Install ASDM App from website you browsed to.

Java version 7 is incompatible with asdm-launcher.

2 Solutions:

1. Downgrade to java 6 if you want to use the launcher

2. Dont use the install option just click on Run ASDM (the web asdm should work,

confirmed working with asdm-715)
