4Connecting Interface Cables and Verifying Connectivity

Step 1 Connect to the Management 0/0 interface so that you can use ASDM to manage the ASA.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.

The ASA 5580 has 2 management interfaces (Management 0/0 and Management 0/1); however, only Management 0/0 is configured for use.

If you want to use the CLI, connect your PC to the console port, and see the CLI configuration guide for more information.

Step 2 Connect your networks to the appropriate ports.

The ASA 5580 has nine expansion slots. Slots 3 through 8 support PCI Express network interface adapters. Slots 1, 2, and 9 are reserved. Your exact configuration depends on the configuration you purchased.
