About the Adaptive Security Device Manager
The Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) is a feature-rich graphical
interface that allows you to manage and monitor the adaptive security appliance.
The web-based design provides secure access so that you can connect to and
manage the adaptive security appliance from any location by using a web browser.
In addition to complete configuration and management capability, ASDM
features intelligent wizards to simplify and accelerate the deployment of the
adaptive security appliance.
In addition to the ASDM web configuration tool, you can configure the adaptive
security appliance by using the command-line interface. For more information, see
the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide and the Cisco
Security Appliance Command Reference.
