Procedure
Step 1 Connect to the ASA CLI.
Step 2 Unregister the ASA from the Smart Software Licensing server, either from the ASA CLI/ASDM or from the
Smart Software Licensing server.
Step 3 Download the FTD image to flash memory. This step shows an FTP copy.
copy ftp://[[user[:password]@]server[/path]/ftd_image_name diskn:/[path/]ftd_image_name
Example:
ciscoasa# copy ftp://jcrichton:aeryn@10.1.1.1/cisco-ftd-fp2k.6.5.0.SPA
disk0:/cisco-ftd-fp2k.6.5.0.SPA
Step 4 Boot the FTD image (the one you just uploaded).
a) Access global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
ciscoasa# configure terminal
ciscoasa(config)#
b) Show the current boot image configured, if present.
show running-config boot system
Note that you may not have a boot system command present in your configuration; for example, if you
installed the original ASA image from ROMMON, have a new device, or you removed the command
manually.
Example:
ciscoasa(config)# show running-config boot system
boot system disk0:/cisco-asa-fp1k.9.13.1.SPA
c) If you have a boot system command configured, remove it so that you can enter the new boot image.
no boot system diskn:/[path/]asa_image_name
If you did not have a boot system command configured, skip this step.
Example:
ciscoasa(config)# no boot system disk0:/cisco-asa-fp1k.9.13.1.SPA
d) Boot the FTD image.
boot system diskn:/[path/]ftd_image_name
You are prompted to reload.
