Cisco ASA 5508-X and ASA 5516-X Quick Start Guide
— GigabitEthernet 1/2 interface (inside)
— Management 1/1 interface (for the ASA FirePOWER module)
— Your computer
Note: You can connect inside and management on the same network because the management interface acts
like a separate device that belongs only to the ASA FirePOWER module.
2. Connect the GigabitEthernet 1/1 (outside) interface to your WAN device, for example, your cable modem.
Note: If the cable modem supplies an outside IP address that is on 192.168.1.0/24, then you must change the
ASA configuration to use a different IP address. Interface IP addresses, HTTPS (ASDM) access, and DHCP
server settings can all be changed using the Startup Wizard. If you change the IP address to which you are
connected to ASDM, you will be disconnected when you finish the wizard. You must reconnect to the new IP
address.

1. Attach the power cable to the ASA and connect it to an electrical outlet.
2. Press the Power button on the back of the ASA.

diagnostics.
