This is for the pixes, I haven't upgraded an asa yet...should be close or the same

* find latest version of code, these are usually *.bin files located on http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix
* confirm the flash and RAM requirements of the PIX OS software versus what the PIX has (”sho ver”)
* make sure you have a backup of the old PIX OS and PDM to the tftp server (or at least confirm the software is there)
Note: You cannot back them up from the PIX, so you will need to download them and put them on the tftp server * put in a change control form
* once change controls confirms date/time do the upgrade:
wri mem*** only if you save your configs via tftp wri net conf t ca save all copy tftp://your tftp server ip/pix635.bin flash:imageskip this if you don't use pdm copy tftp://your tftp server ip/pdm-304.bin flash:pdm *** if this is a failover pair, upgrade the other pair reboot

Looks like you've posted the series of the Cisco ASA firewall model numbers. You should get the correct model number like: Cisco ASA 5505 Cisco ASA 5510 ... And so on. Check beneath the firewall, it usually tells you there.

    It's best to check Cisco's website, they'll have guides for all the series, I would assume.

My cisco asa 5505 lost it image file ... how can i get the image back
if it is really deleted from FLASH, you will need to connect to ASA with a console cable, start up TFTP server on your pc, and in TFTP copy your ASA image file (.bin - on your CD that you got with ASA) so that you can get it from pc to asa.
then use tftpdnld command to set all the parameters on asa and start the download of the file from your pc .... after it has been done - just reboot asa :)

Cisco ASA 5505 Firmware
Yes, it is possible and Yes you have to purchase it from Cisco.
Sorry, that is how they make the big bucks.
Consider a service contract on the unit, then you can download the firmware much cheaper.

Hello all can you please help me on how to restore the configuration of my ASA 5520? thanx
If you are going for factory reset use the following commands

asa>enable
asa#write erase
asa#reload

Dont save the configuration when it prompts for it.

if you want to restore the configuration from the backup

1. You need to have a TFTP server
2. Locate the config file on your TFTP server
3. TFTP server should be reachable from ASA

then

asa#copy tftp flash

give the tftp server ip address
give the configuration file name (as exactly on the TFTP server)

reload

USR 5461 can't be configured
Verify 1st if you can still communicate with the router, if your running WIndows go to the command prompt and type ipconfig, check your default gateway address(192.168.x.x) then type ping(space)192.168.x.x if your getting replies your still lucky that means the firmware was just incomplete and to complete this without accessing the configuration utility, you need a tftp server installed on yuor computer to load the firmware of the router, check if your router manufacturer has a recommended tftp server, if not download any tftp server software from 3rd party manufacturer such as linksys or netgear, dlink. When you open the tftp software it will normally prompt you to enter the following information - ip address of the device you want to upgrade, password and the ocation of the file you need to load on the device(in this case the firmware(.bin) that you downloaded).

Hope this will help you get your router uo and running,

Regards.
