CISCO ASA 5505 Basic Configurations – Enabling the Privileged Mode<\/strong>
\nIn the Privileged Mode, you can configure the Router\/Firewall for example for site to site VPN<\/p>\n

This link below helped me the best…before providing the link, some details<\/strong>
\nRun the command: confreg<\/strong>
\nPress y<\/strong> for the options:
\n—Do you wish to change this configuration? y\/n [n]: y<\/strong>
\n—disable system configuration? y\/n [n]: y<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then run boot command: boot
\nWhen the system comes back
\nrun the command: enable
\nThen for the password, you can just press enter.
\nYes, you are now in the privileged mode and can do whatever.<\/p>\n

\nAnother resource that I just saw:
\nhttp:\/\/sawansblog.com\/2012\/05\/28\/cisco-asa-password-recovery-get-out-of-rommon\/<\/p>\n

[Before the above, you need to connect the device, and have a terminal to issue these commands]<\/p>\n

Actually, was having issues to enable the privileged mode. The information in the above link helped to switch to privileged mode and then going further into configuring a site to site VPN with Cisco ASA 5505.<\/p>\n

CISCO ASA 5505 by default boots into Rommon mode with limited set of allowed commands. You need to be in Privileged mode with full set of commands to configure the router\/firewall for advanced customization and purpose. (Please verify this information by yourself)<\/p>\n

How did I initially connect the Cisco ASA 5505 for exploring:<\/strong>
\nUsed the ASA Console port (RJ-45 network port). Used a cable with RJ45 connector at one end the other end a COM connector. Used a Serial\/COM to USB connector and got a USB port at the other end. i.e The final cable had a network connector at one end, another end was USB (in the middle Serial to USB converter). USB end was connected to a laptop and the RJ45 end was connected to the console port of the ASA 5505.<\/p>\n

Software Used:<\/strong>
\nTeraTeam to have a terminal to connect to and to run router\/firewall related commands.
\nAlso, used Putty to connect to and to run commands
\nYou can use either.<\/p>\n

When using Putty, select the option Serial for connection (at the right where you see Telnet, SSH, Raw, and …). Also, set the serial connection properties such as 9600 bps baud rate, flow control none, 8 bit data, parity none. In putty, you also need to mention the Serial Port to connect to (COM, in my case it was COM13).<\/p>\n

Where to find the ID of the COM port?<\/strong>
\nUse the device manager to find out. Connect and disconnect to the USB port ( ) the cable as I just mentioned before (the one with Serial\/USB converter). You will see one COM port coming\/displaying and going\/hiding. That One. You may need to install driver for the Serial to USB conversion though.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>
\nNot trying to switch to computer networking career; however, all Computer Science\/Engineering majors know some (at the minimum) computer networking ; some pursue it others don’t. For example, with a group of couple of students, I built a computer network in my 3rd year undergraduate, between the two buildings in the university residence. Yes, used BUS topology LAN, and Coaxial cables, did physical cabling as well. For Building to building connections used HUBs and RJ 45 cables ( so far I remember). We had web-servers, email servers, file servers, file and printer sharing and other services in the Intranet. anyway…. From: http:\/\/sitestree.com\/?p=1673
