Cisco Systems ASASSMCSC10K9 Configuring Asdm Connectivity, Logging Out of the ASA Services Module

Logging Out of the ASA Services Module

If you do not log out of the ASASM, the console connection persists; there is no timeout. To end the ASASM console session and access the switch CLI, perform the following steps.

To kill another user’s active connection, which may have been unintentionally left open, see the configuration guide.

Step 1 To return to the switch CLI, type:

Ctrl-Shift-6,x

You return to the switch prompt.

Note: Shift-6 on US and UK keyboards issues the caret (^) character. If you have a different keyboard and cannot issue the caret (^) character as a standalone character, you can temporarily change the escape character to a different character. In Cisco IOS, before you session to the ASASM, use the terminal escape-characterascii_number command. For example, to temporarily change the sequence to Ctrl-w, x, enter terminal escape-character 23.

6Configuring ASDM Connectivity

Because the ASASM does not have physical interfaces, it does not come pre-configured for ASDM access; you must configure ASDM access using the CLI on the ASASM.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1 (Optional)		Enables transparent firewall mode. This
	firewall transparent	command clears your configuration. See the
		configuration guide for more information.
	Example:
