Chapter 1 Getting Started
Configuring ASDM Access for Appliances
Examples
The following configuration converts the firewall mode to transparent mode, configures the VLAN 1
interface and assigns it to BVI 1, enables a switchport, and enables ASDM for a management host:
firewall transparent
interface bvi 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface vlan 1
bridge-group 1
nameif inside
security-level 100
interface ethernet 0/1
switchport access vlan 1
no shutdown
dhcpd address 192.168.1.5-192.168.1.254 inside
dhcpd enable inside
http server enable
http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside
Accessing ASDM Using a Non-Default Configuration (ASA 5510 and
Higher)
If you do not have a factory default configuration, or want to change the firewall or context mode,
perform the following steps.
Prerequisites
Access the CLI according to the “Accessing the Appliance Command-Line Interface” section on
page 1-1.
Step 6
http ip_address mask interface_name
Example:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.0
255.255.255.0 inside
Allows the management host to access ASDM.
Step 7
write memory
Example:

section on page 1-14.
