Accessing the ASA Services Module Command-Line
Interface
For initial configuration, access the command-line interface by connecting to the switch (either to the
console port or remotely using Telnet or SSH) and then connecting to the ASASM. This section
describes how to access the ASASM CLI, and includes the following sections:
• Logging Into the ASA Services Module, page 1-2
• Logging Out of a Console Session, page 1-5
• Logging Out of a Telnet Session, page 1-6
Logging Into the ASA Services Module
For initial configuration, access the command-line interface by connecting to the switch (either to the
switch console port or remotely using Telnet or SSH) and then connecting to the ASASM.
If your system is already in multiple context mode, then accessing the ASASM from the switch places
you in the system execution space. See Chapter 1, “Configuring Multiple Context Mode,” for more
information about multiple context mode.
Later, you can configure remote access directly to the ASASM using Telnet or SSH according to the
“Configuring ASA Access for ASDM, Telnet, or SSH” section on page 1-1.
This section includes the following topics:
