today i wanted to configure my firewall but i had forgotten how to do it.
so i am going to write a little howto so i wont forget;
1. reset to factory defaults
2. setup your PC to DHCP and connect cable
3. using a switch or hub, connect PC to switch (int1 [Inside])
4. get another cable and connect one end to the switch and the other end to the firewall on interface 1
5. make sure you have sync lights on
6. go to your PC and enter the following in your browser:
https://192.168.1.1NOTE: its important to use https, otherwise, it will NOT work!!!
DONE
ASDM includes a Startup Wizard to simplify the initial configuration of your security appliance. With a few steps, the Startup Wizard enables you to configure the security appliance so that it allows packets to flow securely between the inside network and the outside network.
Before you launch the Startup Wizard, have the following information available:
•A unique hostname to identify the security appliance on your network.
•The IP addresses of your outside interface, inside interface, and other interfaces.
•The IP addresses to use for NAT or PAT configuration.
•The IP address range for the DHCP server.
To use the Startup Wizard to set up a simplified basic configuration on the security appliance, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you have not already done so, connect the inside Ethernet 1 interface of the security appliance to a switch or hub by using the Ethernet cable. To this same switch, connect a PC for configuring the security appliance.
Step 2 Configure your PC to use DHCP (to receive an IP address automatically from the security appliance), or assign a static IP address to your PC by selecting an address out of the 192.168.1.0 network. (Valid addresses are 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254, with a mask of 255.255.255.0 and default route of 192.168.1.1.)
Note The inside interface of the security appliance is assigned 192.168.1.1 by default, so this address is unavailable.
Step 3 Check the LINK LED on the Ethernet 1 interface. When a connection is established, the LINK LED on the Ethernet 1 interface of the security appliance and the corresponding LINK LED on the switch or hub will become solid green.
Step 4 Launch the Startup Wizard.
a. On the PC connected to the switch or hub, launch an Internet browser.
b. In the address field of the browser, enter this URL: https://192.168.1.1/.
Note The security appliance ships with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Remember to add the "s" in "https" or the connection fails. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) provides a secure connection between your browser and the security appliance.
Step 5 In the popup window that requires a username and password, leave both fields empty. Press Enter.
Step 6 Click Yes to accept certificates. Click Yes for any subsequent certificates or authentication requests.
Step 7 After ASDM starts, choose the Wizards menu, then choose Startup Wizard.
Step 8 Follow the instructions in the Startup Wizard to set up your security appliance.
For information about any field in the Startup Wizard, click the Help button at the bottom of the window.
