How do I use Ubuntu and PuTTY to login to a new ASA

[jimmyc_2]

                   I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.4 and a serial port.   I also have the rollover cable from Cisco to console-in.   What do I need to get access to new firewall?   Thanks

Hi,

I dont know about Ubuntu but you should be able to Console to an ASA with Putty wihtout changing any settings on it by simply choosing the "Serial" option in the Putty and clicking "Open"

Naturally you might have to give some username/password information on the Putty CLI depending on how the AAA has been configured on the ASA.
