Chapter2 Getting Started
Starting ASDM
Examples
The following configuration converts the firewall mode to transparent mode, configures the Management
0/0 interface, and enables ASDM for a management host:
firewall transparent
interface management 0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
nameif management
security-level 100
no shutdown
dhcpd address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 management
dhcpd enable management
http server enable
http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 management
Starting ASDM
You can start ASDM using two methods:
Step3 dhcpd address ip_address-ip_address
interface_name
dhcpd enable interface_name
Example:
hostname(config)# dhcpd address
192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 management
hostname(config)# dhcpd enable management
Enables DHCP for the management host on the management
interface network. Make sure you do not include the Management
0/0 address in the range.
Step4 http server enable
Example:
hostname(config)# http server enable
Enables the HTTP server for ASDM.
Step5 http ip_address mask interface_name
Example:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.0
255.255.255.0 management
Allows the management host to access ASDM.
Step6 write memory
Example:
hostname(config)# write memory
Saves the configuration.
Step7 (Optional)
mode multiple
Example:
hostname(config)# mode multiple
Sets the mode to multiple mode. When prompted, confirm that
you want to convert the existing configuration to be the admin
context. You are then prompted to reload the ASASM. See
Chapter 5, “Configuring Multiple Context Mode,” for more
information.
Step8 To launch ASDM, see the “Starting ASDM”
