Adaptive Security Device Manager
In 2005, Cisco introduced the newer Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA). Cisco PIX (Private Internet eXchange) is a popular IP firewall and network address translation (NAT) appliance.
Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)
The ASA series of devices run PIX code 7.0 and later. Through PIX OS release 7.x the PIX and the ASA use the same software images.It succeeded the cisco's other products such as:
* Cisco PIX, which provided firewall and network address translation (NAT) functions.
* Cisco IPS 4200 Series, which worked as intrusion prevention system (IPS).
* Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators, which provided virtual private networking (VPN).
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SOLUTION PROVIDES FLEXIBLE ACCESS OPTIONS
Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) can be accessed directly with a Web browser from any Java plug-in enabled computer on the network, providing security administrators with rapid, secure access to their Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances or Cisco PIX Security Appliances. It provides a unique option for administrators---a new Microsoft Windows-based launcher application can be downloaded directly from the security appliance to a management computer. This application accelerates the startup of Cisco ASDM, providing increased efficiency in managing security appliances.
STARTUP WIZARD ACCELERATES SECURITY APPLIANCE DEPLOYMENT:
Cisco ASDM features a Startup Wizard that helps accelerate the security appliance deployment process. A series of simple step-by-step configuration panels help administrators get their appliances up and running quickly and create a robust configuration that allows traffic to flow securely through their networks.
DASHBOARD SUPPLIES ADMINISTRATORS WITH VITAL REAL-TIME SYSTEM STATUS INFORMATION
The dashboard provides a complete system overview and device health statistics at a glance. It can automatically detect the Cisco security appliances being configured.
