Cisco ASAv 9.5.1 200 and ASDM 7.5.1 in Workstation / ESXi

I were keeping testing Cisco ASA in Vmware environment for my own studying purpose. Recently I got ASAv 9.5.1 and installed into Vmware workstation 10 and ESXi 5.5.

Here are all related posts in this blog:

More configuration posts:

1. Download Software from Cisco Software Website:

The latest is 9.5.2 200. I am using 9.5.1 200 as an example for this post.

After downloaded the package, unzipped it and you will get 7 files.

asav-esxi.ovf will be used for esxi and workstation environment.

2. Import into Vmware ESXi or Workstation

2.1 in ESXi 5.5

Choose Menu File -> Deploy OVF Template...

Follow screen instruction to click next:

Network Mapping will be very straightforward since all interface are listing with mapping name in the ASAv.

Management0-0 is first interface.

2.2 in Vmware Workstation 10
Choose Open from File menu:

Following screen , click import:

After import done, you will get a new Virtual Machine:

Network Adapter 1 is first interface which is Management0/0 in ASAv.

Booting Screen:
