Cisco adaptive security appliances are shipped with a factory-default configuration
that enables quick startup. The factory-default configuration automatically
configures an interface for management so you can quickly connect to the device and
use ASDM to complete your configuration.
By default, the adaptive security appliance Management interface is configured with
a default DHCP address pool. This configuration enables a client on the inside
network to obtain a DHCP address from the adaptive security appliance to connect to
the appliance. Administrators can then configure and manage the adaptive security
appliance using ASDM.
