How to run ASA in GNS3

For ASA 8.4.2
1) Download asa842-initrd and asa842-vmlinuz.
2) In GNS, go to Edit> Preferences> Qemu> ASA and configure the following:
  • Identifier name: AS842
  • RAM : 1024 MB
  • Number of NICS : as u wish ;-)
  • NIC Model : E1000
  • Qemu options: -vnc none -vga none -m 1024 -icount auto -hdachs 980,16,32
  • Initrd:  browse for asa842-initrd downloaded in step 1
  • Kernel: browse for asa842-vmlinuz downloaded in step 1
  • Kernel cmd line: -append ide_generic.probe_mask=0x01 ide_core.chs=0.0:980,16,32 auto nousb console=ttyS0,9600 bigphysarea=65536
  • Press save then OK

     
  • after the ASA is running issue the following commands:
    activation-key 0x4a3ec071 0x0d86fbf6 0x7cb1bc48 0x8b48b8b0 0xf317c0b5
    activation-key 0xb23bcf4a 0x1c713b4f 0x7d53bcbc 0xc4f8d09c 0x0e24c6b6
     
2)You can also use ASDM to configure the ASA. (I'll publish a post for this one later)
