EveryOne there is a bug,that don’t let you comunicate switch with pix. The solution is a modification of our .net file. Add the following line in the firewall section in my case:
e1=SW1 2
All section next:
[[FW FW1]]
x = -284.0
y = -177.0
e1=SW1 2

With the sintaxis:
e+number_port=nameof_switch port_number
after the modification open the GNS3 and must works!
The other problem i see was the pings works between the pix and the client pc but don’t work the webaccess, the webaccess and asdm access work only if you provide a serial and activation code.Because by default the licence don’t let you do nothing…
Good Luck!!!

I am having the same issue as pavan. I am unable to connect the PIX to the switch. I can connect the internet to the switch fine though. Did something change from .6 to .7RC1?

For those that can ping the PIX, but cannot ASDM into it:

-Ensure your ASDM version is correct for your PIX OS. The ASDM is 200 less than your PIX OS. For example, PIX OS 7.2(4) (pix724.bin), use ASDM 5.2(4) (asdm-524.bin).

-It’s not documented very well, but be sure you at least have a DES license installed to use ASDM (https). The serial/license combo listed above in another post seemed to work fine. I just had to enter the serial number in GNS3 firewall node config and enter the activation keys in the PIX OS CLI, copy run start, and you’re done. I used PIX OS 7.2(4).

Hi,

Great tutorial!
I have installed as ASA5510 and can use the ASDM no problem if my PC is on the same LAN as the management interface.

However if I set up an ssh tunnel on port 443 to the ASA via a server that is on the ASA’s LAN, using Putty(when I am managing it remotely) I can get the ASDM up, and I can use the cli in ASDM and get responses, but when I hit the “refresh” button the ASDM tries to get the latest config but times out quickly with the message “ASDM did not get a response from the ASA in the last 60 seconds…..” Has anybody else experienced this?
