Connect Cables, Turn on Power, and Verify Connectivity

After positioning or mounting the ASA, follow these steps to connect cables, turn on power, and verify

connectivity:

Step 1

Connect the network cables:

a) Management interface – Using this Management 1/1 Gigabit Ethernet port, you can connect a management computer

directly with an Ethernet cable, or you can connect the computer and the ASA to the same management network. Be

sure the PC is configured to obtain an IP address using DHCP.

You can configure any of the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to be a management-only interface using the

management-only command. However, you cannot disable management-only mode on the Management 1/1 interface.

The following figure shows how to connect the network cables.

b) (Optional) Console port – For use with the CLI. Connect a computer or terminal server using a serial console cable

to either the RJ-45 or Mini USB Type B port.

Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port

becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the Mini USB Type B port, the RJ-45 port
