Cisco security appliances are shipped with a factory-default configuration that
enables quick startup. The factory-default configuration automatically configures an
interface for management so you can quickly connect to the device and use ASDM to
complete your configuration.
By default, the security appliance management interface is configured with a default
DHCP address pool. This configuration enables a client on the inside network to
obtain a DHCP address from the security appliance to connect to the appliance.
Administrators can then configure and manage the security appliance using ASDM.
