CHAPTER 6
ASA Deployment with ASDM
Is This Chapter for You?
To see all available operating systems and managers, see Which Operating System and Manager is Right for
You?, on page 1. This chapter applies to ASA using ASDM.
This chapter does not cover the following deployments, for which you should refer to the ASA configuration
guide:
• Failover
• CLI configuration
This chapter also walks you through configuring a basic security policy; if you have more advanced
requirements, refer to the configuration guide.
About the Firewall
The hardware can run either threat defense software or ASA software. Switching between threat defense and
ASA requires you to reimage the device. You should also reimage if you need a different software version
than is currently installed. See Reimage the Cisco ASA or Firepower Threat Defense Device.
The firewall runs an underlying operating system called the Secure Firewall eXtensible Operating System
(FXOS). The firewall does not support the FXOS Secure Firewall chassis manager; only a limited CLI is
supported for troubleshooting purposes. See the Cisco FXOS Troubleshooting Guide for the Firepower
1000/2100 Series Running Firepower Threat Defense for more information.
Privacy Collection Statement—The firewall does not require or actively collect personally-identifiable
information. However, you can use personally-identifiable information in the configuration, for example for
usernames. In this case, an administrator might be able to see this information when working with the
configuration or when using SNMP.
