A sample configuration definition of the current image that is used looks like this: This process is defined under the ASDM configuration on the ASA. This step should help you verify if the image is present and its integrity on the ASA. Verifying file integrity of disk0:/asdm-702.bin In order to further verify if the image present on the flash is valid and not corrupt, you can use the verify command in order to compare the stored MD5 hash in the software package and the MD5 hash of the actual file present: ciscoasa# verify flash:/asdm-702.bin Check for the presence of the ASDM file: ciscoasa# show flash -#-length-date/time- pathĢ53 17738924 00:12:12 asdm-702.bin - ASDM Image It can either be uploaded with the currently run version of the ASDM or with other conventional methods of file transfer to the ASA, such as TFTP.Įnter show flash on the ASA CLI in order to help you list the files present on the ASA flash memory. Make sure that the required version of the ASDM is uploaded to the flash. There are three essential configurations that are present on the ASA that are needed in order to successfully access the ASDM: If you adhere to the general troubleshooting process in this order, this document should help you to determine the exact problem with ASDM use/access. There are three major failure points on which this troubleshooting document focuses. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. The information in this document is based on the ASDM and ASA. This document uses the ASA CLI for troubleshooting, which requires Secure Shell (SSH)/Telnet/Console access to the ASA. For the initial configuration, refer to the Configuring ASDM Access for Appliances section of the Cisco ASA Series General Operations ASDM Configuration Guide, 7.1. The scenarios, symptoms, and steps listed in this document are written for troubleshooting issues after the initial configuration is set up on the ASA. ASDM delivers security management and monitoring services for security appliances through a graphical management interface. This document provides the troubleshooting methodology necessary to examine issues faced when you access/configure the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) with Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
