Chapter 4 Configuring the Adaptive Security Appliance
Using the Adaptive Security Device Manager for Configuration
• Static routes to be configured.
• If you want to create a DMZ, you must create a third VLAN and assign ports
to that VLAN. (By default, there are two VLANs configured.)
• Interface configuration information: whether traffic is permitted between
interfaces at the same security level, and whether traffic is permitted between
hosts on the same interface.
• If you are configuring an Easy VPN hardware client, the IP addresses of
primary and secondary Easy VPN servers; whether the client is to run in
client or network extension mode; and user and group login credentials to
match those configured on the primary and secondary Easy VPN servers.
Installing the ASDM Launcher
You can launch ASDM in either of two ways: by downloading the ASDM
Launcher software so that ASDM runs locally on your PC, or by enabling Java and
JavaScript in your web browser and accessing ASDM remotely from your PC.
This procedure describes how to set up your system to run ASDM locally.
To install the ASDM Launcher, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On the PC connected to the switch or hub, launch an Internet browser.
a. In the address field of the browser, enter this URL: https://192.168.1.1/admin
Note The adaptive security appliancee ships with a default IP address of
192.168.1.1. Remember to add the “s” in “https” or the connection fails.
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) provides a secure connection between your
browser and the adaptive security appliance.
The Cisco ASDM splash screen appears.
b. Click Install ASDM Launcher and Run ASDM.
c. In the dialog box that requires a username and password, leave both fields
empty. Click OK.
