So I got a quick case to just update the ASDM on an ASA Firewall. This one is pretty simple and can be done multiple ways through cli, current asdm, or a mix of both. I'll just do a mix of both. The ASDM upgrade is from version 631 to 713. *** Before you start make sure you download the newest ASDM version that is compatible with your ASA version. show version  1. Login to ASDM 2. Go to Tools > File Management  3. Transfer the file from the local PC to the Disk0 in the ASA 4. Go to CLI to remove / verify  the OLD asdm image  sh run asdm asdm image disk0:/asdm-631.bin no asdm image disk0:/asdm-631.bin 5. Make the new image the ASDM image asdm image disk0:/asdm-713.bin 6. Verify changes

So I'm working on a T1 for a PRI circuit. Low and behold the t1 doesn't want to come up. A couple of the tests that I did were: 1. Loop-back test 2. T1 Card / Configuration reset 3. Telephone vendor switch their Meta Switch Throughout testing we were not able to get the T1 to stay up. It would come up and then go down. Come up and then go down.
