Section 7: Monitor and Manage the ASA

The ASA is a network device and requires managing. You can connect to the ASA to manage it through the command-line interface (CLI) or the web graphical user interface (GUI) known as the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM). CLI connections can be through either Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).

In addition to management, this section discusses the tools available to monitor connections through the Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA).
