Chapter 1 Configuring the ASA CX Module
Configuring the ASA CX Module
If you do not have an inside router
If you have only one inside network, then you cannot also have a separate management network, which
would require an inside router to route between the networks. In this case, you can manage the ASA from
the inside interface instead of the Management 0/0 interface. Because the ASA CX module is a separate
device from the ASA, you can configure the ASA CX Management 1/0 address to be on the same
network as the inside interface.
What to Do Next
• (Optional) Configure the ASA CX management IP address. See the “Configuring the ASA CX
Management IP Address” section on page 1-8.
• Configure basic ASA CX settings. See the “Configuring Basic ASA CX Settings at the ASA CX
CLI” section on page 1-8.
Configuring the ASA CX Management IP Address
If you cannot use the default management IP address (192.168.8.8), then you can set the management IP
address from the ASA. After you set the management IP address, you can access the ASA CX module
using SSH to perform initial setup.
