Direct connect to ASA inside or mgmt interface from PC

does it work connecting PC w/ crossover or straight cable to the inside or mgmt port of ASA?

It won't work for me either way ... Just want to eliminate using a switch for now and able to configure via ASDM and load files via FTP from PC.

ASA interfaces are in no shutdown.

Hi,

Yes, you can access ASA from your pc using crossover cable.

To do so , you need to configure these commands,

- an ip address for the interface, of course with same ip range of your pc.

- enable http access , using the command

http server enable

- specify the pc's that can manage the asa, using

http ip_address subnet interface_name

example:

http 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside

regards

hmmmp ... yeah i knew those commands. But, for some reason, I got no connectivity. I set to AUTO or mamnual duplex/speed, still won't work.

i'll give a shot one more time ...

oh crop ... nothing wrong with the cable etc ...

My laptop is in a docking station and I figured out the problem.

Solution:

connect the cable from ASA to the docking station ethernet port. Don't connect to the laptop, it will not work !

sorry, my bad ! but,be curious those using with docking station ...
