Accessing the Appliance Command-Line Interface
For initial configuration, access the CLI directly from the console port. Later, you can configure remote
access using Telnet or SSH according to
Chapter 1, “Configuring Management Access.”
If your system
is already in multiple context mode, then accessing the console port places you in the system execution
space. See
Chapter 1, “Configuring Multiple Context Mode,”
for more information about multiple
context mode.
Detailed Steps
Step 1
Connect a PC to the console port using the provided console cable, and connect to the console using a
terminal emulator set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
See the hardware guide for your ASA for more information about the console cable.
Step 2
Press the
Enter
key to see the following prompt:
hostname>
This prompt indicates that you are in user EXEC mode. Only basic commands are available from user
EXEC mode.
Step 3
To access privileged EXEC mode, enter the following command:

enable
