Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Configuring ASDM Access for the ASA Services Module
Examples
The following routed mode configuration configures the VLAN 1 interface and enables ASDM for a
management host:
interface vlan 1
nameif inside
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
security-level 100
dhcpd address 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254 inside
dhcpd enable inside
http server enable
http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside
The following configuration converts the firewall mode to transparent mode, configures the VLAN 1
interface and assigns it to BVI 1, and enables ASDM for a management host:
firewall transparent
interface bvi 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface vlan 1
bridge-group 1
nameif inside
Step 4
(For remote management hosts)
route management_ifc management_host_ip
mask gateway_ip 1
Example:
hostname(config)# route management
10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.50
Configures a route to the management hosts.
Step 5
http server enable
Example:
hostname(config)# http server enable
Enables the HTTP server for ASDM.
Step 6
http ip_address mask interface_name
Example:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.0
255.255.255.0 management
Allows the management host to access ASDM.
Step 7
write memory
Example:
hostname(config)# write memory
Saves the configuration.
Step 8
(Optional)
mode multiple
Example:
hostname(config)# mode multiple
Sets the mode to multiple mode. When prompted, confirm that
you want to convert the existing configuration to be the admin
context. You are then prompted to reload the ASASM. See
Chapter 1, “Configuring Multiple Context Mode,” for more
information.
Step 9
To launch ASDM, see the “Starting ASDM”
section on page 1-14.
