Access the ASA and FXOS CLI
You can use the ASA CLI to troubleshoot or configure the ASA instead of using ASDM. You can access the
CLI by connecting to the console port. You can later configure SSH access to the ASA on any interface; SSH
access is disabled by default. See the
ASA general operations configuration guide
for more information.
You can also access the FXOS CLI from the ASA CLI for troubleshooting purposes.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect your management computer to the console port. The Firepower 2100 ships with a DB-9 to RJ-45
serial cable, so you will need a third party serial-to-USB cable to make the connection. Be sure to install any
necessary USB serial drivers for your operating system. Use the following serial settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
You connect to the ASA CLI. There are no user credentials required for console access by default.
Step 2
Access privileged EXEC mode.
enable
You are prompted to change the password the first time you enter the
enable
command.
Example:
ciscoasa> enable
Password:
The enable password is not set. Please set it now.
Enter Password: ******
Repeat Password: ******
ciscoasa#
The enable password that you set on the ASA is also the FXOS
admin
user password if the ASA fails to boot
up, and you enter FXOS failsafe mode.
All non-configuration commands are available in privileged EXEC mode. You can also enter configuration
mode from privileged EXEC mode.
To exit privileged EXEC mode, enter the
disable
,
exit
, or
quit
command.
Step 3
Access global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
ciscoasa# configure terminal
ciscoasa(config)#
