2 Updated: May 15, 2013, 78-19998-02 1 Information About the ASA Services Module in the Switch Network For switch and software compatibility with the ASA Services M odule (ASASM), see the following: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/securi ty/asa/compatibility/asamatrx.
3 For multiple context mode, if you place the MSFC or router behind the ASASM, you should only connect it to a single context. If you connect it to multiple con texts, the MSFC/router will route between the contexts, which might not be your intentio n.
4 2 Verifying the Module Installation Verify that the switch acknowledge s the ASASM and has bro ught it onli ne. (If you n eed to install your ASASM, see the module installation guide on Cisco.
5 4 Using the MSFC as a Directly-Connected Router If you want to use the MSFC as a directly -connected router (for ex ample, as the default gateway connected to the ASASM outside interface), then add an ASASM VLAN interface to the MSFC as a switched virtual interface (SVI).
6 5 Logging Into the ASA Services Module From the switch CLI, you can connect to a virtual console session on the A SASM: Command Purpose Step 1 service-module session [ switch { 1 | 2 }] slot number Example: Router# service-module session slot 4 hostname> Connects to the ASASM.
7 Logging Out of the ASA Services Module If you do not log ou t of the ASASM, the console conn ection persists; there is no timeout. To end t he ASASM console session and access the switc h CLI, perform the follow ing steps. To kill another user’s active connecti on, which may have been unintentionally l eft open, see the configuration guide.
8 Step 2 Do one of the following to configure a manag ement interface, depending on you r mode: Routed mode: interface vlan number ip address ip_address [ mask ] nameif name security-level level Example: hostname(config)# interface vlan 1 hostname(config-if)# ip address 192.
9 Step 4 http server enable Example: hostname(config)# http server enable Enables the HTTP server for ASDM. Step 5 http ip_address mask interface_name Example: hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside Allows the management host to access ASDM.
10 7 Launching ASDM Using ASDM, you can use wizards to configure basic and advanced features. ASDM is a graphical user interface that allows you to manage the A SAS M from any lo cation by using a web browser. See the ASDM release notes on Cisco.co m for the requirements to run ASDM.
11 8 Running the Startup Wizard Run the Startup Wizard so that you can customize the security policy to suit your deployment. Using the startup wizard, you can set the following: Step 1 If the wizard is not already running, in the main ASDM window, choose Wizards > Sta rtup Wizard .
12 9 (Optional) Allowing Access to Public Servers Behind the ASA Services Module The Public Server pane automatically configures the security policy to make an inside server accessible from the Internet. As a business owner, you might have internal network services, such as a web and FTP server, that need to be available to an outside user.
13 10 (Optional) Running Other Wizards in ASDM You can optionally run the following additional wizards in ASDM: • High Availability and Scalability Wizard Configure active/active or active/standby failover, or VPN cluster loa d balancing. • Packet Capture Wizard Configure and run packet capture.
