module. Once it is complete, you can escape out of the SFR module CLI and back into the
ASA by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + 6 +X (CTRL ^ X)
If the ASA is NOT connected to an inside switch:
An inside switch may not exist in some small deployments. In this type of topology, clients would
generally connect to the ASA via the WiFi interface. In this scenario, it is possible eliminate the
need for an external switch and access the SFR module via a separate ASA interface by cross-
connecting the Management1/1 interface to another physical ASA interface.
In this example, a physical ethernet connection must exist between the ASA GigabitEthernet1/3
interface and the Management1/1 interface. Next, you configure the ASA and SFR module to be
on a separate subnet and then you are able to access the SFR from both the ASA as well as
clients located on the inside or wifi interfaces.
ASA Interface Configuration:
asa(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/3
