Configuring the Adaptive Security
Appliance
This chapter describes the initial configuration of the adaptive security appliance.
You can perform the configuration steps using either the browser-based Cisco
Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) or the command-line interface
(CLI). However, the procedures in this chapter refer to the method using ASDM.
To use ASDM, you must have a DES license or a 3DES-AES license. For more
information, see Appendix A, "Obtaining a DES License or a 3DES-AES
License."
This chapter includes the following sections:

Cisco adaptive security appliances are shipped with a factory-default configuration
that enables quick startup. The factory default configuration automatically
configures an interface for management so that you can quickly connect to the device
and use ASDM to complete your configuration.
