Sessioning to the Module
If you have CLI access to the adaptive security appliance, then you can session to the module over the
backplane and access the module CLI.
Using ASDM
After you launch ASDM on the adaptive security appliance, ASDM connects to the SSM or SSC
management interface to configure the module application.
On the SSM, ASDM connects to an external Gigabit Ethernet port. If you cannot use the default address,
you can change the interface IP address and other network parameters by sessioning to the module and
setting the parameters at the module CLI. See the documentation for the module application for more
information.
On the SSC, you can configure a VLAN as a management VLAN to allow access to an internal
management IP address over the backplane. To change the network parameters, see the
SSC Management Interface" section on page
See the
parameters.
