Hello, This is my first post here. I'm learning about the Cisco ASA 5505/5510. Don't know much yet! Anyway, it has a 7.2 IOS (I assume it's 'IOS' for the ASA.) So, I was looking to update the .bin file on my ASA 5505. I have some 8 version .bin files. And this is not yet fully configured and is not in production.
I can connect to it via the console port. And I connect to it with ASDM using
192.168.10.1 on the ASA and
192.168.10.3 on the laptop.
I downloaded and installed tftpd64 and wanted to make a copy of asa724-k8.bin by tftp'ing it out to the laptop. That's where I discovered I can't ping out from the ASA to the laptop. I can ping from the laptop to the ASA. If I turn off the Windows firewall on the laptop I can ping from the ASA to the laptop. I don't want to turn off the firewall. The laptop is connected to the internet via wireless and to the ASA via ethernet.
So, I'm trying to figure out what tweaks I need to do to the Windows firewall to allow this tftp transfer. It seems I need a new rule in the firewall for PuTTY. Or would it be for the ASA? I've only ever turned the Windows Firewall off and on. I've never gone in a set up an Inbound or Outbound rule for any particular situation.
Maybe I should just disable the wireless for a bit, turn off the firewall, do any tftp'ing, and then turn the firewall back on. But, that seems sorta kludgy if I want to have a regular tftp server I can use.
Thanks for any help?
