Browser Requirements
The following are the requirements to access ASDM from a browser:
■ JavaScript and Java must be enabled—If these are not enabled, ASDM helps the
administrator enable them. When using your browser, Java Plug-in version 1.4.2 or 1.5.0
is supported. To check which version the administrator has, launch ASDM. In the main
ASDM menu, click Help > About Cisco ASDM 5.0 for PIX. When the About Cisco
ASDM 5.0 for PIX window opens, it displays the browser specifications in a table,
including the Java version. If the administrator has an older Java version, the
administrator can download the supported Java plug-in version from Microsoft.
