Log Into the ASDM
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

Step 1
Enter the following URL in your browser.
• https://192.168.1.1—Inside interface IP address.You can connect to the inside address on any inside
• https://192.168.45.1—Management interface IP address.
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.

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.

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.
