About the ASA
The ASA provides advanced stateful firewall and VPN concentrator functionality in one device.
The Firepower 2100 is a single-application appliance for the ASA. You can run the ASA in either Platform
mode or Appliance mode (the default). The Firepower 2100 runs an underlying operating system called the
FXOS. When in Platform mode, you must configure basic operating parameters and hardware interface settings
in FXOS. These settings include enabling interfaces, establishing EtherChannels, NTP, image management,
and more. You can use the chassis manager web interface or FXOS CLI. You can then configure your security
policy in the ASA operating system using one of the following managers:
• ASDM—A single device manager included on the device. This guide describes how to manage the ASA
using ASDM.
• CLI
• Cisco Security Manager—A multi-device manager on a separate server.
Appliance mode lets you configure all settings in the ASA. Only advanced troubleshooting commands are
available from the FXOS CLI.
ASA and FXOS Management
The ASA and FXOS operating systems share the Management 1/1 interface. This interface has separate IP
addresses for connecting to ASA and to FXOS.
