This is for educational purpose only. Download if you have not done so, and install it. Now, that you have installed GNS3, you would need two files to make the ASA to work on GNS3. The files are asa842-initrd.gz and asa842-vmlinuz. Download ASDM version that is compatible with 8.4(2) from cisco.com using your CCO account.

You need to download and install. Here is a brief description what a TunTap is. This is from the TunTap home page. The TunTap project provides kernel extensions for Mac OS X that allow to create virtual network interfaces. From the operating system kernel’s point of view, these interfaces behave similar to physical network adapters such as an Ethernet network interface. However, the virtual interface does not send the packets into a wire, but makes them available to programs running in the system. Lastly, you will need a TFTP server.
You can use any TFTP. I am going to be using. I have a blog post how to use this TFTP server Once you get all the files and software installed mention above, we can get started.
To install ASA to GNS3 read my previous blog located at Now, open your Terminal and open GNS3 with superuser privilege. NetworkShinobi-MacBook-Air: networkshinobi$ sudo /Applications/GNS3.app/Contents/MacOS/GNS3 Password: This is will open GNS3 with superuser privilege. Drag an ASA, generic switch, and a cloud to the canvas as seen in Figure 1. Figure 3 This will create another interface on your Mac. Here is the before and after screenshot of my ifconfig Here is the ifconfig before I entered the /devt/tap1 on GNS3. As you can see there is no tap1 interface. Figure 4 Here is how to copy the ASDM image to ASA flash ciscoasa# copy tftp://10.1.1.2/asdm-714.bin flash: Address or name of remote host 10.1.1.2?
Source filename asdm-714.bin? Destination filename asdm-714.bin? About networkshinobi My name is Karlo, I work as a Network Engineer.
A little about myself. I started as a PC gamer back when I was in high school.
PC gaming became my addiction and pushed me to learn more about computers. Slowly got my some certifications and landed an IT Tier 1 Helpdesk job. This job opened the door for me to work to push further on my certifications and going deeper into the IT world. My goal was to get my Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching, but my journey for CCIE has changed due to I always ended up working on non-Cisco network appliances. Therefore, I have to pivot and decided to jump to the dark side and go with Juniper. Hopefully, I would get my JNCIE in the near future.
