(Optional) Console port – For use with the CLI. Connect a computer or terminal server using a serial console cable
to either the RJ-45 or Mini USB Type B port.
Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port
becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the Mini USB Type B port, the RJ-45 port
becomes active. See Connect to a Console Terminal or PC, on page 39 for specific instructions for connecting the
console port.
c)
Gigabit Ethernet ports – For the network interfaces; use standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables.

The ASA 5506-X, 5506W-X, and ASA 5506H-X do not have an on/off switch; the device powers on when you
plug it into a power source.
