CHAPTER 1

About the ASA 5506-X

The Cisco ASA 5506-X adaptive security appliance is part of the ASA 5500-X of next-generation mid-range

ASAs and is built on the same security platform as the rest of the ASA family.

This next-generation ASA delivers unprecedented levels of defense against threats to the network with deeper

web inspection and flow-specific analysis, improved secure connectivity via end-point security posture

validation, and voice and video over VPN support. It also provides enhanced support for intelligent information

networks through improved network integration, resiliency, and scalability.

This ASA is a smaller form-factor chassis, intended primarily for desktop or wall-mounting, although one

or two can be mounted in a single rack shelf. The ASA has a standard 1 RU chassis. See http://www.cisco.com/

c/en/us/products/security/asa-5500-series-next-generation-firewalls/index.html to compare the performance

metrics and capabilities of the 5500-X ASAs.

Before beginning any of the procedures described in this book, be sure to read the Regulatory Compliance

and Safety Information for the Cisco ASA 5506-X appliances (found at http://www.cisco.com/go/

asa5506x-compliance) and follow proper safety procedures.

Package Contents

DescriptionLED

The locations and meanings of the status LEDs are described in Status Lights,

on page 4.

Status LEDs1

The chassis power-supply socket. See Power Supply, on page 7 for more

information about the chassis power supply. (The ASA is powered on when

you plug in the DC power supply.)

Power cord socket2

Eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 (8P8C) network I/O interfaces. The ports are

numbered (from left to right) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Each port includes a pair of

LEDs, one each for connection status and link status. The ports are named and

numbered Gigabit Ethernet 1/1 through Gigabit Ethernet 1/8. See Network

Ports, on page 5 for additional information.

Network data ports3

A Gigabit Ethernet interface restricted to network management access only.

Connect with an RJ-45 cable.

Management port4

Two serial ports, a mini USB Type B, and a standard RJ-45 (8P8C), are provided

for management access via an external system. See Console Ports, on page

5for additional information.

Console ports5

A standard USB Type A port is provided that allows the attachment of an

external device, such as mass storage. See Internal and External Flash Storage,

on page 6 for additional information.

USB port6

A small recessed button that if pressed for longer than three seconds resets the

ASA to its default “as-shipped”state following the next reboot. Configuration

variables are reset to factory default. However, the flash is not erased and no

files are removed.

You can use the service sw-reset-button to disable the reset button.

The default is enabled.

Note

Reset button7

The slot accepts a standard Kensington T-bar locking mechanism for securing

the ASA.

Rear Panel

Status Lights

Facing the rear of the chassis, the status lights are located on the top left edge (facing the front of the chassis,

they are in the back right corner of the top). The network port lights are at the top sides of each network port.

The following figure shows the lights on the top left edge.

DescriptionLED

Power supply status:

•Unlit –Power supply off.

•Solid green –Power supply on.

See Power Supply, on page 7 for additional power information specific to

your specific ASA.

Power1

System operating status:

•Green –Normal system function.

•Amber –Critical alarm indicating one or more of the following:

•Major failure of a hardware or software component.

•Over-temperature condition.

•Power voltage outside the tolerance range.

Status Lights

DescriptionLED

Status of the failover pair:

•Solid green –Failover pair operating normally. The LED is green always

unless the ASA in an HA pair.

•Amber –When the ASA is in an HA pair, the LED is amber for the

Standby unit.

•Unlit –Failover is not operational.

Active3

Not in use on the ASA 5506-X.Wireless3

On the rear panel, a pair of LEDs (Link status and connection Status) for each

of the eight Gigabit Ethernet network ports, and the Gigabit Ethernet

Management port.

Link status (L):

•Unlit –No link, or port is not in use.

•Solid green –Link established.

•Flashing green –Link activity.

Connection-speed status (S):

•One blink every three seconds –10 Mbps.

•Two rapid blinks –100 Mbps.

•Three rapid blinks –1000 Mbps.

Network port status4

Network Ports

There are eight 10/100/1000 baseT Ethernet network ports on the ASA 5506-X. Each RJ-45 (8P8C) copper

port supports auto MDI/X as well as auto-negotiation for interface speed, duplex, and other negotiated

parameters, and are MDI/MDIX compliant.

Looking at the rear of the ASA, where the ports are located, port 1 is on the left, and port 8 is on the right,

next to the console and management ports. Each port is accompanied by a pair of LEDs, one each for link

status (L) and connection status (S). The ports are named and numbered Gigabit Ethernet 1/1 through Gigabit

Ethernet 1/8.

Console Ports

The ASA has two external console ports, a standard RJ-45 port and a Mini USB Type B serial port. Only one

console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port

becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes

active. The console ports do not have any hardware flow control. You can use the command-line interface

About the ASA 5506-X

Network Ports

(CLI) to configure your ASA through either serial console port by using a terminal server or a terminal

emulation program on a computer.

See Connect to a Console Terminal or PC, on page 19 for the procedure to install a console terminal.

RJ-45 Port

The RJ-45 (8P8C) port supports RS-232 signaling to an internal UART controller. The RJ-45 console

port does not support a remote dial-in modem. You can use a standard management cable (Cisco part

number 72-3383-01) to convert the RJ45-to-DB9 connection if necessary.

Mini USB Type B Port

The Mini USB Type B port lets you connect to a USB port on an external computer. For Linux and

Macintosh systems, no special driver is required. For Windows systems, you must download and install

a USB driver (available on software.cisco.com). You can plug and unplug the USB cable from the

console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. We recommend shielded USB

cables with properly terminated shields. Baud rates for the USB console port are 1200, 2400, 4800,

9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.

For Windows operating systems, you must install a Cisco Windows USB Console Driver on any PC

connected to the console port before using the USB console port. See Connect to the Console Port with

Microsoft Windows, on page 19 for information on installing the driver.

Note

Internal and External Flash Storage

The ASA contains one internal USB flash drive, and a standard USB Type A port that you can use to attach

an external device. The USB port can provide output power of 5 volts, up to a maximum of 500 mA (5 USB

power units).

Internal USB Device

An embedded eUSB device is used as the internal flash; it is identified as disk0.

External USB Drive (Optional)

You can use the external Type A USB port to attach a data-storage device. The external USB drive

identifier is disk1. When the ASA is powered on, a connected USB drive is mounted as disk1 and is

available for you to use. Additionally, the file-system commands that are available to disk0 are also

available to disk1, including copy,format,delete,mkdir,pwd,cd, and so on.

If you insert a USB drive with more than one partition, only the first partition is mounted.

FAT-32 File System

The ASA only supports FAT-32-formatted file systems for the internal eUSB and external USB drives.

If you insert an external USB drive that is not in FAT-32 format, the system mounting process fails,

and you receive an error message. You can enter the command format disk1: to format the partition

to FAT-32 and mount the partition to disk1 again; however, data might be lost.
