![]() So I will publish a working activation key* An ASA Activation key is usually linked to the serial number of the ASA, in this case we don’t have a serial number, (that’s not strictly true, if you check, it’s something like 12345678). When the ASA starts it has all the licenses disabled, to add them you need to change the ASA’s activation key. You can now drag an ASA onto the workspace and console into it (it takes a while, be patient). Should you wish to locate these files form a less reputable source you are looking forĪsa842-initrd.gz and asa842-vmlinuz, again don’t email me for them! If you are too stupid to use a search engine, then technical ninjary is not the correct career choice for you.ĩ. You need to create these from a legally obtained copy of the asa843-k8.bin file. Qemu > Qemu VMs > Add > Set the type to ASA 8.4(2).Ĩ. Dynamips > IOS Routers > New > Add in your route images > Follow instructions.
The defaults are fine but if you run GNS3 on several machines you might want to choose something like Dropbox > Apply > OK.ģ. Edit > Preferences > Check that the path to the ‘projects’ and your ‘images’ folder are where you want them to be. Do whatever you need to do to copy ASDM.2. Thus, copy ASDM via SCP or from ASA console and use “copy” to get the file from a http or tftp server. If for some reason the 9.15-16 version doesn’t work for you, try 8.4 as well that I linked above, it was more stable.ĪSDM does work, however you need to copy it into the ASA BEFORE turning into multiple context mode due to not having a proper MGMT interface and not being able to copy files into contexts. If the ASA crashed on “invalid argument” while rebooting, just manually reboot it! For example mine crashed a lot on “invalid argument” while rebooting only. ![]() On this final reboot you should see the following output from “show mode” When they come back up, test switching to multiple context mode with the followingĬhanging into “mode multiple” requires yet another reboot however that’s it! Finally “write me” and reboot your ASA with “reload” (note if the ASA freezes on “reload” just manually power it off and on via GNS3 it will still work)ġ6. NOTE: applying the key takes A LONG time (5 minutes for me)ġ5. Once it is started, just apply the activation key (activation-key 0xb23bcf4a 0x1c713b4f 0x7d53bcbc 0xc4f8d09c 0x0e24c6b6) Leave defaults click next (it wont actually use 30GB)ġ4. Click “create” so we can create an empty harddrive, thin provisionedġ0. Name the Image something and click the “legacy ASA” boxĨ. On the top right click EDIT > Then Preferencesĥ. In case of 915-16 not working for you, please fall back to 8.4 ( )Ģ. Small issue with the 915-16 version: It required manual reload via gns3… The “reload” command hangs it most of the time. Requirements:ģ- Activate code for context license (activation-key 0xb23bcf4a 0x1c713b4f 0x7d53bcbc 0xc4f8d09c 0x0e24c6b6) Instead we will have to use ASA version 9.1.15-16 and activate it with a key IN GNS3. ![]() In this guide I will show you exactly how to get a working lab for ASA multi-context in GNS3.įirst be aware that you CANNOT use the virtual ASA image. How to Setup Multiple Context ASA in GNS3
