By default, the adaptive security appliance Inside interface is configured with a
default DHCP address pool. This configuration enables a client on the inside network
to obtain a DHCP address from the adaptive security appliance to connect to the
appliance. Administrators can then configure and manage the adaptive security
appliance using ASDM.
Using the CLI for Configuration
In addition to the ASDM web configuration tool, you can configure the adaptive
security appliance by using the command-line interface.
You can get step-by-step examples of how to configure basic remote access and
LAN-to-LAN connections in the CLI itself by using the vpnsetup
ipsec-remote-access steps and vpnsetup site-to-site steps commands. For more
information about these commands, see the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Command
Reference.
For step-by-step configuration procedures for all functional areas of the adaptive
security appliance, see the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the
CLI.
