Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
Chapter2 Getting Started
Configuring ASDM Access for Appliances
Examples
The following configuration converts the firewall mode to transparent mode, configures the VLAN 1
interface and assigns it to BVI 1, enables a switchport, and enables ASDM for a management host:
firewall transparent
interface bvi 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface vlan 1
bridge-group 1
nameif inside
security-level 100
interface ethernet 0/1
switchport access vlan 1
no shutdown
dhcpd address 192.168.1.5-192.168.1.254 inside
dhcpd enable inside
http server enable
http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside
Accessing ASDM Using a Non-Default Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher)
If you do not have a factory default configuration, or want to change the firewall or context mode,
perform the following steps.
Prerequisites
Access the CLI according to the “Accessing the Appliance Command-Line Interface” section on
page 2-1.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step1 (Optional)
firewall transparent
Example:
hostname(config)# firewall transparent
Enables transparent firewall mode. This command clears your
configuration. See the “Configuring the Firewall Mode” section
on page 4-1 for more information.
Step2 interface management 0/0
ip address ip_address mask
nameif name
security-level number
no shutdown
Example:
hostname(config)# interface management 0/0
hostname(config-if)# ip address
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config-if)# nameif management
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown
Configures the Management 0/0 interface. The security-level is a
number between 1 and 100, where 100 is the most secure.
