c) Save the installer to your computer, and then start the installer. The ASDM-IDM Launcher opens
automatically after installation is complete.
d) Enter the management IP address, the same username and password (blank for a new installation), and
then click
OK
.
Step 3
To use Java Web Start:
a) Click
Run ASDM
or
Run Startup Wizard
.
b) Save the shortcut to your computer when prompted. You can optionally open it instead of saving it.
c) Start Java Web Start from the shortcut.
d) Accept any certificates according to the dialog boxes that appear. The Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher appears.
e) Leave the username and password fields empty (for a new installation), and click
OK
. With no HTTPS
authentication configured, you can gain access to ASDM with no username and the
enable
password,
which is blank by default.
Note
: If you enabled HTTPS authentication, enter your username and associated
password. Even without authentication, if you enter a username and password at the login screen (instead
of leaving the username blank), ASDM checks the local database for a match.
Factory Default Configurations
The factory default configuration is the configuration applied by Cisco to new ASAs.
•
ASA appliances
—
The factory default configuration configures an interface for management so that you
can connect to it using ASDM, with which you can then complete your configuration.
•
ASA on the Firepower 9300 chassis
—
When you deploy the standalone or cluster of ASAs, the factory
default configuration configures an interface for management so that you can connect to it using ASDM,
with which you can then complete your configuration.
•
ASAv
—
Depending on your hypervisor, as part of deployment, the deployment configuration (the initial
virtual deployment settings) configures an interface for management so that you can connect to it using
ASDM, with which you can then complete your configuration. You can also configure failover IP
addresses. You can also apply a
“
factory default
”
configuration if desired.
•
ASASM
—
No default configuration. See
Access the ASA Services Module Console, on page 4
to
start configuration.
For appliances and the ASA on the Firepower 9300 chassis, the factory default configuration is available only
for routed firewall mode and single context mode. For the ASAv, you can choose transparent or routed mode
at deployment.
In addition to the image files and the (hidden) default configuration, the following folders and files are
standard in flash memory: log/, crypto_archive/, and coredumpinfo/coredump.cfg. The date on these files
may not match the date of the image files in flash memory. These files aid in potential troubleshooting;
they do not indicate that a failure has occurred.
