If you don’t have one, copy it to the flash memory before you continue. Our next step is to tell the ASA which ASDM image we want to use:

ASA1(config)# asdm image disk0:/asdm-731.bin

ASDM requires HTTP and it’s disabled by default, let’s enable it:

ASA1(config)# http server enable

Instead of giving everyone access to the HTTP server we will specify which network and interface are permitted to use the HTTP server:

ASA1(config)# http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 INSIDE

This will only allow network 192.168.1.0 /24 on the inside interface to reach the HTTP server. It might be even a better idea to only allow one or two IP addresses that you use for management instead of an entire network.

Let’s continue and make a user account:

ASA1(config)# username ADMIN password PASSWORD privilege 15

That’s all we have to do on the ASA. Now you can open a web browser on your computer, I’ll be using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer for this. Open the following URL:

https://192.168.1.254

You will see the following screen:

Cisco ASA ASDM HTTPS Error

The ASA uses a self signed certificate so that’s why you see this error above. Just click on Continue to this website and you will see the following screen:
