a. Cable Management 0/0 (for the ASA FirePOWER module) directly to one of: GigabitEthernet 0/1 through GigabitEthernet
0/5 (through 0/7 for the ASA 5525-X, 5545-X, and 5555-X).
Note: You can connect inside and management on the same network because the management interface acts like a separate
device that belongs only to the ASA FirePOWER module.
b. Cable your computer to one of: GigabitEthernet 0/1 through GigabitEthernet 0/5 (through 0/7 for the ASA 5525-X, 5545-X,
and 5555-X).
c. Cable GigabitEthernet 0/0 (outside) to your WAN device, for example, your cable modem.
Note: If the cable modem supplies an outside IP address that is on 192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.10.0/24, then you must change
the ASA configuration to use a different IP address. Interface IP addresses, HTTPS (ASDM) access, and DHCP server settings
can all be changed using the Startup Wizard. If you change the IP address to which you are connected to ASDM, you will be
disconnected when you finish the wizard. You must reconnect to the new IP address.
