You can access the ASA appliance in a few ways. One way is telnet and ssh to Cisco ASA. To activate ssh access to ASA you need to have at least:
One of the confusing elements for beginners is the console word. This is an old semantic (used always and has no meaning). So to enable telnet:
Define local username and password:
ASA#configure terminal
ASA(config)#username username privilege 15 password some_password
Define AAA lists for ssh:
ASA(config)#aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
Generate crypto key pair to use with SSH server:
ASA(config)#domain-name grandmetric.labs
ASA(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 1024
In addition, you can set the allowed sources, and define on which interface ssh will be allowed:
ASA(config)#ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 OUTSIDE
Hint: With ASA you can provide 0 0 which means 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0, so the above line can be written as:
ASA(config)#ssh 0 0 OUTSIDE
