Document Objectives

The purpose of this guide is to help you configure the firewall features for Cisco ASA series using the
command-line interface. This guide does not cover every feature, but describes only the most common
configuration scenarios.
You can also configure and monitor the ASA by using the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM),
a web-based GUI application. ASDM includes configuration wizards to guide you through some
common configuration scenarios, and online help for less common scenarios.
Throughout this guide, the term "ASA" applies generically to supported models, unless specified
otherwise.
