Task Flow for the ASA CX Module
Configuring the ASA CX module is a process that includes configuration of the ASA CX security policy
on the ASA CX module and then configuration of the ASA to send traffic to the ASA CX module. To
configure the ASA CX module, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Cable the ASA CX management interfaces and optionally, the console interface. See the “Connecting
the ASA CX Management Interface” section on page 1-7.
Step 2 (Optional) On the ASA, configure the ASA CX module management IP address for initial SSH access.
See the “Configuring the ASA CX Management IP Address” section on page 1-8.
Step 3 On the ASA CX module, configure basic settings. See the “Configuring Basic ASA CX Settings at the
ASA CX CLI” section on page 1-8.
Step 4 On the ASA CX module, configure the security policy using PRSM. See the “Configuring the Security
Policy on the ASA CX Module Using PRSM” section on page 1-10.
Step 5 (Optional) On the ASA, configure the authentication proxy port. See the “(Optional) Configuring the
Authentication Proxy Port” section on page 1-11.
Step 6 On the ASA, identify traffic to divert to the ASA CX module. See the “Redirecting Traffic to the ASA
CX Module” section on page 1-12.
Note When using PRSM in multiple device mode, you can configure the ASA policy for sending
traffic to the ASA CX module within PRSM, instead of using ASDM or the ASA CLI. However,
PRSM has some limitations when configuring the ASA service policy; see the ASA CX user
guide for more information.
