​Project 1: Updating Cisco ASA Firewalls - Firmware and ASDM: The models that this update applies to ASA5506,ASA5515, ASA 5516 and ASA552

This is a business requirement for an organization that uses ASA Firewalls and they have different models of these firewalls, the process is the same for old and new models.  I will be updating the firmware from current image version 9.8.2 to 9.8.4-10 and the ASDM image from 7.9.1 to 7.12

Steps to follow are below:
