ASA Deployment with ASDM
Manage the Firepower 2100 on either Management 1/1 or Ethernet 1/2. The default configuration also
configures Ethernet1/1 as outside.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect your management computer to either of the following interfaces:
• Management 1/1 (labeled MGMT)—Connect Management 1/1 to your management network, and make
• Ethernet 1/2—Connect your management computer directly to Ethernet 1/2 for initial configuration. Or
You can later configure ASA management access from other interfaces; see the
configuration
Step 2
Connect the outside network to the Ethernet1/1 interface (labeled WAN).
For Smart Software Licensing, the ASA needs internet access so that it can access the License Authority.
Step 3
Connect other networks to the remaining interfaces.
Power on the Device
The power switch is located to the left of power supply module 1 on the rear of the chassis. It is a toggle
switch that controls power to the system. If the power switch is in standby position, only the 3.3-V standby
power is enabled from the power supply module and the 12-V main power is OFF. When the switch is in the
ON position, the 12-V main power is turned on and the system boots.
Procedure
Step 1
Attach the power cord to the device and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 2
Press the power switch on the back of the device.
Step 3
Check the PWR LED on the front of the device; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
sure your management computer is on—or has access to—the management network. Management 1/1
obtains an IP address from a DHCP server on your management network; if you use this interface, you
must determine the IP address assigned to the ASA so that you can connect to the IP address from your
management computer.
connect Ethernet 1/2 to your inside network; make sure your management computer is on the inside
network, because only clients on that network can access the ASA. Ethernet 1/2 has a default IP address
(192.168.1.1) and also runs a DHCP server to provide IP addresses to clients (including the management
computer), so make sure these settings do not conflict with any existing inside network settings (see

If you need to change the Ethernet 1/2 IP address from the default, you must also cable your management
computer to the console port. See
guide.
