Introduction
This document describes how to perform initial installation and configuration of a Cisco Adaptive
Security Appliance (ASA) 5506W-X device when the default IP addressing scheme needs to be
modified to fit into an existing network or if multiple wireless VLANs are required. There are
several configuration changes that are required when modifying the default IP addresses in order
to access the wireless access point (WAP) as well as ensure that other services (such as DHCP)
continue to function as expected. In addition, this document provides some CLI configuration
examples for the integrated Wireless Access Point (WAP) to make it easier to complete initial
configuration of the WAP. This document is intended to supplement the existing Cisco ASA 5506-
X Quick Start guide available on the
Cisco website
