Cisco's Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) is the GUI tool used to manage the Cisco ASA security appliances. In this blog I'll reveal to you some of my favorite tips, tricks and secrets found inside ASDM. If you haven't dealt with it before, ASDM is a free configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting management tool that comes with the ASA. In a nutshell, ASDM will manage all the features of the ASA appliance including FW, IPS and VPN. Unlike its big brother Cisco Security Manager (CSM), ASDM is made to configure a standalone ASA one at a time. CSM is the tool you would use to manage and share policy across multiple ASA's, routers, and IPS appliances. First, installing the tool.

You can download ASDM from cisco.com or from your ASA itself. You can then run it inside a browser or download the ASDM launcher so it runs as its own application on your PC.

I highly recommend ASDM launcher as the way to go. Photoshop 7 Raw Plugin Free Download. The ASDM launcher works for both Windows and MAC OSX (requires ASDM version 6.4.5 or later).

Once launched it will look like the below image. You fill out the info and away you go. A few secrets about ASDM launcher.

First, to get the MAC launcher working you must install it directly from your ASA using a web browser. Currently, there is not a downloadable.dmg file on cisco.com, only a.msi file for windows. Second, you see that cool 'run in demo mode' checkbox? This can be a very handy feature and is available to everyone. To enable it, check the box and click on the link it provides.

All in all ASDM demo mode gives you the experience of configuring and monitoring a live ASA. Which brings me to another ASDM secret, demo mode is designed for windows but will also work on MACs. This is not something supported by Cisco or found in there docs. It is more of a hack, but a useful one for those (like me) that don't like to run fusion on their MACs.

Here is how you get it to work on a MAC running Lion: -First, On your MAC install the ASDM launcher by connecting to an ASA via a web browser and clicking install launcher. -Second, download and install ASDM demo.msi on a Windows PC. -Next, Copy the Demo folder contents from C: Program Files Cisco Systems ASDM to your MAC. -On your MAC, open the folder the launcher app is in (usually applications Cisco) and right click on the launcher app.
