Document Objectives
The purpose of this guide is to help you configure the adaptive security appliance using ASDM. This
guide does not cover every feature, but describes only the most common configuration scenarios.
This guide applies to the Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances. Throughout this guide,
the term “adaptive security appliance” applies generically to all supported models, unless specified
otherwise. The PIX 500 security appliances are not supported.
Note Although ASDM 6.3 supports many ASA versions, the ASDM 6.3 documentation and online help only
include features for ASA versions for which support was introduced in ASDM 6.3. For older ASA
versions, you might find that using the ASDM 6.3 documentation is inaccurate for your older feature set.
Instead, refer to the ASDM guide in which support for your platform version was added (see the Cisco
ASA 5500 Series and PIX 500 Series Security Appliance Hardware and Software Compatibility for the
minimum supported version of ASDM for each ASA version). Although the specific information about
the ASDM GUI might be inaccurate in that guide, the platform feature set is documented correctly.
Audience
This guide is for network managers who perform any of the following tasks:
• Manage network security
• Install and configure firewalls/adaptive security appliances
