3Connecting Interface Cables and Verifying Connectivity
Step 1 Connect a management PC to the Management 0/0 interface for use with the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).You can connect the PC directly with an Ethernet cable, or connect the PC and the ASA to the same management network. Make sure the PC is configured to obtain an IP address using DHCP.
If you want to use the CLI, connect your PC to the console port, and see the CLI configuration guide for more information.
