NOTE you must use HTTPS:// after all it is a security device we are accessing here. Open a webpage and enter the IP address that was assigned to your management interface via DHCP. So you are all set now to access the ASA via the ASDM GUI. The command I used above is basically allowing any IP to connect to the ASA because this is just a lab that is fine you wouldn’t want to do this on a production ASA. I could have said only allow the IP address or subnet of 192.168.159.0 access the ASA via the ASDM. I cheated a bit by using the http 0 0 mgmt command. The commands to do this are #http server enable and #http 0 0 mgmt. Next, we need to enable http servers on the ASA to allow us to access it via the ASDM GUI. As you can see in my setup I’ve been given an IP address of 192.168.159.189. Wait a minute and then run the #show ip command. Go into configuration mode and configure the management interface as shown above.

When you go into enable mode it will ask you for a password don’t panic as you just press enter and it will continue into enable mode this is the default behaviour of the ASA. Next, you need to configure the ASAv to get an IP address via DHCP and also activate the http server on the ASA and allow the IP that you get from DHCP to access the http server on the ASA. Connect the ASA Management 0/0 interface to the switch and then using another port on the switch connect it to the Cloud and select eth1 as the interface on the cloud, the eth1 interface should be bridged from VMware to your local machine. Drag your newly imported ASAv image onto the workspace along with the GNS3 Ethernet Switch and the Cloud object. bin file onto the ASA it is already on there even if you can’t see it when you do a dir, trust me it is!īelow is the topology I am using. I had a few issues getting the ASDM GUI working initially, note that you do NOT have to import the ASDM. A google search will get you the image you need. They also recommend that you use the ASAv directly from Cisco’s VIRL software. I would strongly recommend that you view that video.

The GNS3 team have a great video showing you how to import the ASAv image into GNS3. Note if you want to run an ASAv image you must run it in GNS3VM and not in the GNS3 local.ĪSA image: asav952-204.qcow2 (VIRL image) i.e so you can only monitor the portchannel interface rather then each of the member links.After struggling to get the ASDM to work in GNS3 I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog post on how to get the ASA and ASDM working within GNS3.īelow is the ASAv image I am using and also the version of GNS3.
Note : the command monitor-interface only allows you to monitor interfaces that have been configured with nameif. Interface port-channel 1.1000 port-channel min-bundle 2 Below shows the necessary commands, monitor-interface port-channel 1.1000 To ensure a device-level failover occurs in the event of a single member link failure the port-channel min-bundle command is used. Meaning that even if you are monitoring the port-channel if a single link goes down within the bundle it will not trigger a device-level failover. interface GigabitEthernet0/1īy default when you configure a port channel the port channel will remain up as long as there is one active member interface.
Configurationīelow shows the configuration to create am EtherChannel that will act as a trunk with the VLAN 1000 enabled. Within this article we will provide the steps required to create an Etherchannel link on the Cisco ASA along with providing the main troubleshooting/show commands. An Etherchannel provides a method of aggregating multiple Ethernet links into a single logical channel. The ability to configure EtherChannels on ASA models 5510 and above was introduced within 8.4/8.6.
