I have been playing with network stuff so I installed GNS3 network simulator.

I have deployed ASA 8.4 image and it has loaded fine.

I connected it with basic Switch

switch-----ASA

I have configured IP address on an interface and executed no shut. I then tried to ping itself but ping did not work :(

I have restart GNS3 also but didn't work :( 

interface GigabitEthernet0
 no nameif
 no security-level
 ip address 192.168.56.2 255.255.255.0
!

Trying to ping itself

fw01# ping 192.168.56.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.56.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
No route to host 192.168.56.2

Success rate is 0 percent (0/1)
fw01#

You need to set the interface name otherwise the interface will remain unreachable.

e.g.

interface gi0
 nameif inside
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 no shutdown

To verify your interface status

show int ip brief

  • You also need a security level configured. Although most code versions will automatically set a security level of 0 for you once you set the name. Except if you set the name inside, in which case it sets a security level of 100.

I believe you also have a set a security level for the interfaces in an ASA. From what I remember, there's three things that need to be configured for each interface:
Name Security Level IP Address
