Chapter 22 Upgrading, Downgrading, and Installing System Images
Installing System Images
To install the system image, transfer the software image from a TFTP server to the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP
using the adaptive security appliance CLI. The adaptive security appliance can communicate with the
ROMMON application of the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP to transfer the image. To install the
ASA 5585-X IPS SSP software image, follow these steps:
Step 1 Download the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP system image file to the tftp root directory of a TFTP server that is
accessible from your adaptive security appliance.
Note Make sure you can access the TFTP server location from the network connected to the Ethernet
port of your adaptive security appliance.
Step 2 Log in to the adaptive security appliance.
Step 3 Enter enable mode.
asa# enable
Step 4 Configure the recovery settings for the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP.
asa (enable)# hw-module module 1 recover configure
Note If you make an error in the recovery configuration, use the hw-module module 1 recover stop
command to stop the system reimaging and then you can correct the configuration.
Step 5 Specify the TFTP URL for the software image.
Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]:
Example
Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]: tftp://192.0.2.0/IPS-SSP_40-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-3-E4.img
Step 6 Specify the command and control interface of the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP.
Note The port IP address is the management IP address of the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP.
Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Example
Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 10.89.149.231
Step 7 Leave the VLAN ID at 0.
VLAN ID [0]:
Step 8 Specify the default gateway of the ASA 5585-X IPS SSP.
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Example
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 10.89.149.254
Step 9 Execute the recovery. This transfers the software image from the TFTP server to the
ASA 5585-X IPS SSP and restarts it.
asa# hw-module module 1 recover boot
