*If the LINK/ACT LED does not light up, the link could be down if there is a duplex mismatch. You can fix the problem by changing the settings either on the ASA 5505 or on the other end. If auto-negotiation is disabled (it is enabled by default), you might be using the wrong type of cable. Try replacing the yellow (straight-through) Ethernet cable with the orange (crossover) Ethernet cable.
