“ASA 5505 Default
Configuration” section on page 2-11 .
Prerequisites
Access the CLI according to the “Accessing the Appliance Command-Line Interface” section on
page 2-1 .
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step 1 (Optional)
firewall transparent
Example:
hostname(config)# firewall transparent
Enables transparent firewall mode. This command clears your
configuration. See the
“Configuring the Firewall Mode” section
on page 4-1 for more information.
Step 2 Do one of the following to configure a management interface, depending on your 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
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
hostname(config-if)# nameif inside
hostname(config-if)# security-level 100
Configures an interface in routed mode. The security-level is a
number between 1 and 100, where 100 is the most secure.
