Chapter 5 Configuring the Adaptive Security Appliance
Using the Startup Wizard
The Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) is a feature-rich graphical
interface that enables you to manage and monitor the adaptive security appliance.
Its web-based design provides secure access so that you can connect to and
manage the adaptive security appliance from any location by using a web browser.
In addition to its complete configuration and management capability, ASDM
features intelligent wizards to simplify and accelerate the deployment of the
adaptive security appliance.
In addition to the ASDM web configuration tool, you can configure the adaptive
security appliance by using the command-line interface. For more information, see
the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide and the Cisco
Security Appliance Command Reference.
Using the Startup Wizard
ASDM includes a Startup Wizard to simplify the initial configuration of your
adaptive security appliance. With a few steps, the Startup Wizard enables you to
configure the adaptive security appliance so that it allows packets to flow securely
between the inside network and the outside network.
Note You must use a port in Slot 0 for the inside interface and a port in Slot 1
for the outside interface.
This section describes how to use the Startup Wizard to set basic configuration
parameters. This section includes the following topics:
