Launch the ASDM so you can configure the ASA.
The ASA includes 3DES capability by default for management access only, so you can connect to the Smart
Software Manager and also use ASDM immediately. You can also use SSH and SCP if you later configure
SSH access on the ASA. Other features that require strong encryption (such as VPN) must have Strong
Encryption enabled, which requires you to first register to the Smart Software Manager.
Note
Before you begin
• See the
Procedure
Step 1 Enter the following URL in your browser.
• https://192.168.1.1—Inside (Ethernet 1/2) interface IP address.
• https://management_ip—Management interface IP address assigned from DHCP.
Note
The Cisco ASDM web page appears. You may see browser security warnings because the ASA does not have
a certificate installed; you can safely ignore these warnings and visit the web page.
Step 2 Click one of these available options: Install ASDM Launcher or Run ASDM.
Step 3 Follow the onscreen instructions to launch ASDM according to the option you chose.
The Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher appears.

If you attempt to configure any features that can use strong encryption before you register—even if you only
configure weak encryption—then your HTTPS connection will be dropped on that interface, and you cannot
reconnect. The exception to this rule is if you are connected to a management-only interface, such as
Management 1/1. SSH is not affected. If you lose your HTTPS connection, you can connect to the console
port to reconfigure the ASA, connect to a management-only interface, or connect to an interface not configured
for a strong encryption feature.
ASDM release notes
Be sure to specify https://, and not http:// or just the IP address (which defaults to HTTP); the ASA
does not automatically forward an HTTP request to HTTPS.
