Chapter 2 Getting Started
Starting ASDM
Using ASDM in Demo Mode
The ASDM Demo Mode, a separately installed application, lets you run ASDM without having a live
device available. In this mode, you can do the following:
• Perform configuration and selected monitoring tasks via ASDM as though you were interacting with
a real device.
• Demonstrate ASDM or adaptive security appliance features using the ASDM interface.
• Perform configuration and monitoring tasks with the CSC SSM.
• Obtain simulated monitoring and logging data, including real-time syslog messages. The data shown
is randomly generated; however, the experience is identical to what you would see when you are
connected to a real device.
This mode has been updated to support the following features:
• For global policies, an adaptive security appliance in single, routed mode and intrusion prevention
• For object NAT, an adaptive security appliance in single, routed mode and a firewall DMZ.
• For the Botnet Traffic Filter, an adaptive security appliance in single, routed mode and security
contexts.
• Site-to-Site VPN with IPv6 (Clientless SSL VPN and IPsec VPN)
• Promiscuous IDS (intrusion prevention)
• Unified Communication Wizard
This mode does not support the following:
• Saving changes made to the configuration that appear in the GUI.
• File or disk operations.
• Historical monitoring data.
• Non-administrative users.
