(HTTP) provides a secure connection between your browser and the adaptive
security appliance.
The Main ASDM window appears.
ASDM includes a Startup Wizard to simplify the initial configuration of your
adaptive security appliance. With a few steps, the Startup Wizard enables you to
configure the adaptive security appliance so that it allows packets to flow securely
between the inside network and the outside network.
To use the Startup Wizard to set up a basic configuration for the adaptive security
appliance, perform the following steps:
From the Wizards menu at the top of the ASDM window, choose Startup Wizard.
Follow the instructions in the Startup Wizard to set up your adaptive security
appliance.
For information about any field in the Startup Wizard, click Help at the bottom
of the window.
If you get an error requesting a DES license or a 3DES-AES license, see
Note
Appendix A, "Obtaining a 3DES/AES License" for information.
Based on your network security policy, you should also consider configuring the
adaptive security appliance to deny all ICMP traffic through the outside interface
or any other interface that is necessary. You can configure this access control
policy using ASDM. From the ASDM main page, click Configuration >
Properties > ICMP Rules. Add an entry for the outside interface. Set the IP
address to 0.0.0.0, the netmask to 0.0.0.0, and Action to deny.
