Run ASA9.1 on EVE(UNL)

This blog discusses ASA, not ASAv. Refer to

It’s possible to run ASA9.1 on EVE-NG (UNL, unified network lab), so I did a try:

1. Image preparation

   No, I can’t provide the image to anyone, and I won’t respond to any question about it. Please Refer to following posts for the image file:

   • http://missingsmth.com/gns-asa-9-15-with-asdm/
   • http://binarynature.blogspot.com/2014/01/create-cisco-asa-vmware-fusion.html
   • https://github.com/nccgroup/asafw

   Refer to http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/images-table, EVE only support hda.qcow2 format disk. Covert your image to qcow2 format before the next step.

2. Copy the ASA Harddisk file to EVE

   the execute the command:

   /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
   

3. Start the VM

   Here is my EVE version: 2.0.3-86 Before starting the VM, I have made the following changes: RAM should be 1,024MB

   • Qemu binary: 2.9 and the x86_64 version

   • make sure the adapter type is the default value: tpl(i82559er) Note: The options which start with E1000 doesn’t work

   • qemu parameters

     -machine type=pc-1.0,accel=tcg -icount auto -hdachs 980,16,32 -nographic
     

Here are some errors I met when I implementing #3:

• Error1:

  with qemu options:

  i386 platform, parameter: -machine type=pc-1.0,accel=tcg
  

  It froze at

  CPU: Intel QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.0 stepping 03
  Checking ‘hlt’ instruction…
  

• Error2:

  Change Qemu binary to version2.9 to resolve the issue: It froze at
