Document Objectives

does not cover every feature, but describes only the most common configuration scenarios.
You can also configure and monitor the ASA by using ASDM, a web-based GUI application. ASDM
includes configuration wizards to guide you through some common configuration scenarios, and online
help for less common scenarios.
This guide applies to the Cisco ASA series. Throughout this guide, the term “ASA” applies generically
to supported models, unless specified otherwise.
Audience
This guide is for network managers who perform any of the following tasks:
• Manage network security
