Here are steps to upgrade IOS from 8.2(1) to 9.1(6) and ASDM to 7.5.2. It is simple and straightforward. By the way these steps are working for all PIX/ASA version upgrade as well.
1. Download Software from Cisco Website
You may need to use your ASA’s serial number to find out latest support IOS version and ASDM version from Cisco support site. CCO account will be needed as well.
You will have two files for this upgrade:
- asa916-k8.bin – for ASA IOS, about 26M
- asdm-752.bin – for ASA’s ASDM , about 25M
2. Basic Configuration on ASA
Configure management interface 0/0 with ip address 10.1.13. Also you will need to set up proper nameif and security level to enable this port. After all configured, do not forget to write all configuration to flash card.
|
ciscoasa(config)# int management 0/0
ciscoasa(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ciscoasa(config-if)# management-only ciscoasa(config-if)# nameif management INFO: Security level for “management” set to 0 by default. ciscoasa(config-if)# security-level 100 ciscoasa(config-if)# ciscoasa(config)# wr Building configuration… Cryptochecksum: 2f6ce793 14d757a0 d226a8da db8c3472 2582 bytes copied in 3.580 secs (860 bytes/sec) [OK] |
3. TFTP configuration
Set up your computer with ip address 10.1.1.2, which is same network as your ASA management interface. Start your TFTP application with proper configuration. I am using Tftpd32 by Ph.Jounin to set up my tftp server. Make sure you are selecting right server interface if you are having multiple network interfaces. I have put downloaded IOS 9.1.6 version and ASDM into d;ios foler.
After connected ASA’s management interface with your tftp server, verify the connectivity from ASA to your TFTP server by ping-ing tftp server ip 10.1.1.2. You may need to disable your local firewall on your tftp server machine.
|
ciscoasa(config)# ping 10.1.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms |
4. Copy both IOS and ASDM files from TFTP to ASA Flash
|
ciscoasa(config)# copy tftp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.2 Source filename []? asa916-k8.bin Destination filename [asa916-k8.bin]? Accessing tftp://10.1.1.2/asa916-k8.bin…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Boot ASA with new IOS and load new ASDM image
|
ciscoasa(config)# boot system disk0:/asa916-k8.bin
ciscoasa(config)# asdm image disk0:/asdm-752.bin ciscoasa(config)# wr Building configuration… Cryptochecksum: bab14ac0 c6d4808b 1c61875d 96255622 2646 bytes copied in 3.720 secs (882 bytes/sec) [OK] ciscoasa(config)# ciscoasa(config)# reload Proceed with reload?
