The IP address range for the DHCP server.
To use the Startup Wizard to set up a basic configuration for the adaptive security appliance, perform the
following steps:
Step 1 If you have not already done so, connect the MGMT interface to a switch or hub by using the
Ethernet cable. To this same switch, connect a PC for configuring the adaptive security
appliance.
Step 2 Configure your PC to use DHCP (to receive an IP address automatically from the adaptive
security appliance), or assign a static IP address to your PC by selecting an address out of the
192.168.1.0 network. (Valid addresses are 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254, with a mask of
255.255.255.0 and default route of 192.168.1.1.)
Note The MGMT interface of the adaptive security appliance is assigned 192.168.1.1 by default,
so this address is unavailable.
Step 3 Check the LINK LED on the MGMT interface.
When a connection is established, the LINK LED interface on the adaptive security appliance and the
corresponding LINK LED on the switch or hub turn solid green.
Step 4 Launch the Startup Wizard.
a. On the PC connected to the switch or hub, launch an Internet browser.
b. In the address field of the browser, enter this URL: https://192.168.1.1/.
Note The adaptive security appliance ships with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
Remember to add the “s” in “https” or the connection fails. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL)
provides a secure connection between your browser and the adaptive security
appliance.
Step 5 In the dialog box that requires a username and password, leave both fields empty. Press Enter.
Step 6 Click Yes to accept the certificates. Click Yes for all subsequent authentication and certificate
dialog boxes.
ASDM starts.
Step 7 From the Wizards menu at the top of the ASDM window, choose Startup Wizard.
Step 8 Follow the instructions in the Startup Wizard to set up your adaptive security appliance. For
information about any field in the Startup Wizard, click Help at the bottom of the window.
