Chapter 7 Configuring the Adaptive Security Appliance Using the Adaptive Security Device Manager for Configuration Preparing to Use ASDM Before you can use ASDM, perform the following steps: Step 1 Step 2 If you have not already done so, connect the MGMT interface to a switch or hub by using the Ethernet cable. To this same switch, connect a PC for configuring the adaptive security appliance. Configure your PC to use DHCP (to receive an IP address automatically from the adaptive security appliance), which enables the PC to communicate with the adaptive security appliance and the Internet as well as to run ASDM for configuration and management tasks. Alternatively, you can assign a static IP address to your PC by selecting an address in the 192.168.1.0 subnet. (Valid addresses are 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254, with a mask of 255.255.255.0 and default route of 192.168.1.1.) When you connect other devices to any of the inside ports, make sure that they do not have the same IP address. Note The MGMT interface of the adaptive security appliance is assigned 192.168.1.1 by default, so this address is unavailable. Step 3 Check the LINK LED on the MGMT interface. When a connection is established, the LINK LED interface on the adaptive security appliance and the corresponding LINK LED on the switch or hub turn solid green. Gathering Configuration Information for Initial Setup Gather the following information to be used with the ASDM Startup Wizard: • A unique hostname to identify the adaptive security appliance on your network. • The domain name.
