Firewalls - Cisco - PIX

Below shows you how to enable ASDM upon your PIX.

First of all you will need to copy the ASDM image to you PIX firewall. I find the easiest way to do this is to enable scopy (scp) on your pix using the command ssh scopy enable. And then using the putty tool pscp to copy the image across to your PIX,

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>pscp "C:\Document~\admin\Desktop\asdm613.bin" admin@2.1.2.1:asdm613.bin
admin@2.1.2.1's password:
asdm613.bin               | 4696 kB |  16.3 kB/s | ETA: 00:02:44 |  63%

Once your asdm image is copied across your will need to enable the image, the http server and what management IPs you require. In this case will will let the 10.1.1.0/24 connect from the inside interface.
