ASA Deployment with ASDM
Note If you attempt to configure any features that can use strong encryption before you register—even if you only
configure weak encryption—then your HTTPS connection will be dropped on that interface, and you cannot
reconnect. The exception to this rule is if you are connected to a management-only interface, such as
Management 1/1. SSH is not affected. If you lose your HTTPS connection, you can connect to the console
port to reconfigure the ASA, connect to a management-only interface, or connect to an interface not configured
for a strong encryption feature.
When you request the registration token for the ASA from the Smart Software Manager, check the Allow
export-controlled functionality on the products registered with this token check box so that the full Strong
Encryption license is applied (your account must be qualified for its use). The Strong Encryption license is
automatically enabled for qualified customers when you apply the registration token on the chassis, so no
additional action is required. If your Smart Account is not authorized for strong encryption, but Cisco has
determined that you are allowed to use strong encryption, you can manually add a strong encryption license
to your account.
