Solved: Startup of ASA firewall

acbenny · ‎05-10-2007

Hi all,

How to access ASA firewall via web browser ? It is a new one and I have set the ip address (192.168.1.1) under Management interface. The ASA management port is connected to my notebook (192.168.1.2 ) directly. After that I see the Management port is up but my notebook ping or access ASA (192.168.1.1)

Hi,

if you wanted to access the ASA via web broswer, juz issue the following command.

http 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 inside

for telnet

telnet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 inside

by default ASA doesn't allow you to login for accessing it throught http or telnet, you need to specify from which IP,which service via which interface. here in my example. "management" is a interface name, which means connection from "management" interface with the ip address 192.168.1.1 is only allowed rest all IP address are denied.

interface management 0/0

nameif management

security-level 100

ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

hope this helps.

Hello,

Please make sure that the HTTP server is enabled for ASDM on ASA. Use the folliwing config.

interface management 0/0

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

nameif management

security-level 100

no shutdown

asdm logging informational 100

asdm history enable

http server enable

http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 management

Once that is done :

Access the page by using https://interface_ip_address

HTH,
