See the ASDM release notes
This procedure assumes you want to use ASDM to manage the ASA FirePOWER Module. If you want to use the Firepower
Management Center, then you need to connect to the module CLI and run the setup script; see the
guide.
Procedure
1. On the computer connected to the ASA, launch a web browser.
2. In the Address field, enter the following URL: https://192.168.1.1/admin. The Cisco ASDM web page appears.
3. Click one of the available options: Install ASDM Launcher, Run ASDM, or Run Startup Wizard.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to launch ASDM according to the option you chose. The Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher
appears.
If you click Install ASDM Launcher, in some cases you need to install an identity certificate for the ASA and a separate
certificate for the ASA FirePOWER module according to
5. Leave the username and password fields empty, and click OK. The main ASDM window appears.
6. If you are prompted to provide the IP address of the installed ASA FirePOWER module, cancel out of the dialog box. You must
first set the module IP address to the correct IP address using the Startup Wizard.
ASDM can change the ASA FirePOWER module IP address settings over the ASA backplane; but for ASDM to then manage
the module, ASDM must be able to reach the module (and its new IP address) on the Management 0/0 interface over the
network. The recommended deployment allows this access because the module IP address is on the inside network. If ASDM
cannot reach the module on the network after you set the IP address, then you will see an error.
7. Choose Wizards > Startup Wizard.
8. Configure additional ASA settings as desired, or skip screens until you reach the ASA FirePOWER Basic Configuration
screen.
