I have encountered disk/flash issues occasionally when saving the running config, Cisco has a built in file check utility to fix these type of issues called the fsck utility. This should now be copying over the ASDM image.Īlways use ‘copy running config startup config’ command to save configuration. ciscoasa# copy tftp flashĪddress or name of remote host ? 10.0.0.2 For this you will need to have the ASDM image on the XP machine and installed a simple TFTP Server such as SolarWinds-TFTP-Server.exe. We now need to copy the ASDM image to the ASA. ASAv with Qemu (RECOMMENDED) Use the GNS3 appliance you will find all the instructions here. This the solution supported by Cisco and the GNS3 team. Once the ASA is up check connectivity between it and the XP machine with a ping. ASAV ASAv is a version of ASA made by Cisco for using ASA, and was created with the express goal of it being run in virtualized environments. Here is some initial configuration to get the ASA up and running. When you start the ASA apply these changes first: ciscoasa# copy running-config startup-configĪfter the second boot sequence you can start making configuration changes. vnc none -vga none -m 1024 -icount auto -hdachs 980,16,32Īpply these changes on the first start up! However, when I issue the show route command. (where x.x.x.x is the next hop, i.e the ISP router) The commands are entered, and the route shows up on show run route, so all seems fine. You will have already added the initial RAM disk and Kernel image when added the ASA to GNS3. My understanding is the default static route configuration on an ASA is like this: route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x. I have had various instability issues with ‘Active CPU throttling’ ticked, at times the console has hung, so if you find this happens to you untick this. Use 512MB and make sure the Qemu binary is set to use the latest exe:īrowse and select the FLASH file previously created. Now to configure the Qemu options, I use the below options: Setup your XP machine and import it into GNS3įirst we need to create a flash drive for our ASA, we can do this with qemu-img.exe as below: Install the latest version of GNS3 at this time I was using ‘GNS3-1.3.8-all-in-one.exe We will just be working very simply with a single ASA and an virtual XP machine directly connected, as below. For this example I will be assuming you have already added the ASA and a workstation like XP to GNS3 in order to access the ASDM. Here are the steps I have successfully used to get the Cisco ASA working correctly in GNS3. Not just working but to a point where it runs stable, be able to save the running configuration, save the project in GNS3 and then reopen it all back up and for the configuration to be there working. GNS3 Certified Associate Official Course (GNS3A) Software is eating the world and the GNS3 REST API: SDN, APIs, Network Programma (7:59) GNS3 REST API Part. I have spent many hours reading various blog posts and articles in my quest to get the Cisco ASA working in GNS3.
