To exit privileged mode, enter the disable, exit, or quit command.
Step 5 To access global configuration mode, enter the following command:

You can begin to configure the ASA from global configuration mode. To exit global configuration mode,
enter the exit, quit, or end command.
Configuring ASDM Access for Appliances
ASDM access requires some minimal configuration so you can communicate over the network with a
management interface. This section includes the following topics:
• Accessing ASDM Using the Factory Default Configuration, page 2-2
• Accessing ASDM Using a Non-Default Configuration (ASA 5505), page 2-3
• Accessing ASDM Using a Non-Default Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher), page 2-5
Accessing ASDM Using the Factory Default Configuration
With a factory default configuration (see the “Factory Default Configurations” section on page 2-10 ),
ASDM connectivity is preconfigured with default network settings. Connect to ASDM using the
following interface and network settings:
• The management interface depends on your model:
– ASA 5505—The switch port to which you connect to ASDM can be any port, except for
Ethernet 0/0.
– ASA 5510 and higher—The interface to which you connect to ASDM is Management 0/0.
• The default management address is 192.168.1.1.
• The clients allowed to access ASDM must be on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. The default
configuration enables DHCP so your management station can be assigned an IP address in this
range. To allow other client IP addresses to access ASDM, see the
“Configuring ASA Access for
ASDM, Telnet, or SSH” section on page 37-1 .
To launch ASDM, see the “Starting ASDM” section on page 2-6 .
