Access the Console for the 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
Management Access
. If your system is already in multiple context mode,
then accessing the console port places you in the system execution space.
For ASAv console access, see the ASAv quick start guide.
Note

Procedure
Step 1

See the hardware guide for your ASA for more information about the console cable.
