Using the Startup Wizard
ASDM includes a Startup Wizard to simplify the initial configuration of your
adaptive security appliance. With a few steps, the Startup Wizard enables you to
configure the adaptive security appliance so that it allows packets to flow securely
between the inside network (GigabitEthernet0/1) and the outside network
(GigabitEthernet0/0).
To use the Startup Wizard to set up a basic configuration for the adaptive security
appliance, perform the following steps:
Step 1 If you have not already done so, perform one of the following steps:
• If you have an ASA 5520 or 5540, connect the inside GigabitEthernet0/1
interface to a switch or hub by using the Ethernet cable. To this same switch,
connect a PC for configuring the adaptive security appliance.
• If you have an ASA 5510, connect the inside Ethernet 1 interface to a switch
or hub by using the Ethernet cable. To this same switch, connect a PC for
configuring the adaptive security appliance.
Step 2 Configure your PC to use DHCP (to receive an IP address automatically from the
adaptive security appliance), or assign a static IP address to your PC by selecting
an address out of the 192.168.1.0 network. (Valid addresses are 192.168.1.2 through
192.168.1.254, with a mask of 255.255.255.0 and default route of 192.168.1.1.)
Note The inside interface of the adaptive security appliance is assigned
192.168.1.1 by default, so this address is unavailable.
Step 3 Perform one of the following steps:
• If you have an ASA 5520 or 5540, check the LINK LED on the
GigabitEthernet0/1 interface.
• If you have an ASA 5510, check the LINK LED on the Ethernet 1 interface.
When a connection is established, the LINK LED interface on the adaptive security
appliance and the corresponding LINK LED on the switch or hub becomes solid
green.
Step 4 Launch the Startup Wizard.
a. On the PC connected to the switch or hub, launch an Internet browser.
