Cisco Asa 5505 Serial Port Settings
Originally posted by 46and2: Why not just erase the configuration and reboot it? You said you can login just fine.
Enable, conf t, write erase, reload. I tried that. Nothing was working. I found a copy of hyperterminal, drove to a friends house who had an older PC with a serial port, and got it reset that way. I will look into the USB-serial adapter.
A new question. Do I need to subscribe to their support just to download software updates?
I am registered there, but no downloads are available to me and I know there are updates available. This thing is only about 4 months old. Originally posted by BeerBelli: GTJack, Do you have a link available for that pricing on Smartnet? At CDW, the base model (ASA5505-BUN-K9) has an extended service agreement for. However, the Security Plus bundle (ASA5505-SEC-BUN-K9) is more pricy with Smartnet starting. Bottom line is that is going to depend on the specific model of 5505 that you own.
One other note, this pricing includes 8x5 NBD replacement. However, there is also 24x7 4-hour and 24x7 4-hour onsite plans available too. If all you really want is software, buy the cheapest Smartnet available for the model that you have. Originally posted by Danger Mouse: Some places are selling this model of usb to serial adapter from Keyspan as a 'Cisco Compatible' or 'Cisco highspeed' serial port adapter. I bought one, but haven't tested it thoroughly. Anyone else using this particular model/brand?

Lack of a serial port is one of the reasons we haven't totally migrated away from our old laptops, so I feel your pain. I use a cheapy Dynex (DX-UBDB9) that I picked up at Best Buy. Works just fine. That's good to know. BTW, I posted some pictures of the wire management redux results in scottheking's thread.

In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to connect to a Cisco router by using Minicom terminal. I am using Linux by the way. If you’re using Window$, besides the suggestion to dump it out and change it with Linux, I think hyperterminal is still your best option. Just Google it: “How to hyperterminal cisco router”. Here we go: 1.
Make sure that the cable that you use to connect to the Cisco router is connected (and detected by the OS) dmesg grep tty fadil@defender $ dmesg grep tty usb 2-2: Moschip 2 port adapter converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usb 2-2: Moschip 2 port adapter converter now attached to ttyUSB1 2. We know that there are two USB connections: ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 (one is for my printer and the other one is for the router). Btw, is there anyway that I can know which is which? How can I know that ttyUSB0 is my printer or my router connection? Please tell me if you know how to do it. Now bring up the Minicom (root privilege is needed) 4. Ctrl-A then Z, then you will see the following 5.
Press “O” (this is O, the letter after N) 6. Then you will see the following, and choose “Serial port setup” 7. Press “A” to set the serial device as the serial port that you connect the router to your computer (see step 1 and 2). If you connect the router through ttyUSB1, then set it as /dev/ttyUSB1. Then press “enter”.
Press “E” to set the “Bps/Par/Bits”. Press “E” again to set it to 9600, and press “Q” for “8-N-1”. Press “Enter”. Set “Hardware Control Flow” to “Yes”, and “Software Control Flow” to “No”. Press “Enter”.
Then choose “Save setup as”. You have basically setup a terminal configuration to connect to a Cisco router. Saving this configuration is useful so that you don’t have to setup the terminal again in the future. I set my configuration as “cisco-router”. Reboot/Restart minicom.

Bring-up minicom: minicom your-config-name (for me it would be: minicom cisco-router) Done!
