    PoE Ports and Devices PoE Ports and Devices On the Cisco ASA 5505, switch ports Ethernet 0/6 and Ethernet 0/7 support PoE devices that are compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard, such as IP phones and wireless access points. If you install a non-PoE device or do not connect to these switch ports, the adaptive security appliance does not supply power to the ports and the device must be powered on its own.

  • Page 6: Powering On The Cisco Asa 5505

    To set up a PC from which you can configure and manage the Cisco ASA 5505, perform the following steps: Make sure that the speed of the PC interface to be connected to one of the Cisco Step 1 ASA 5505 inside ports is set to autonegotiate. This setting provides the best performance.
  • Page 7 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PC to a switched inside port on the rear panel Step 3 of the Cisco ASA 5505 (one of the ports numbered 1 through 7). Check the LINK LED to verify that the PC has basic connectivity to the Cisco Step 4 ASA 5505.
  • Page 8: Optional Procedures

    Connecting to the Console You can access the command line for administration using the console port on the Cisco ASA 5505. To do so, you must run a serial terminal emulator on a PC or workstation, as shown in Figure 4-3.
  • Page 9: Ports And Leds

    Follow the directions from the manufacturer for attaching the other end of the Step 1 cable for securing the adaptive security appliance. Attach the cable lock to the lock slot on the back panel of the Cisco ASA 5505. Step 2 Ports and LEDs This section describes the front and rear panels of the ASA 5505.
  • Page 10 Ports and LEDs Front Panel Components The LINK/ACT indicators on the front panel of the Cisco ASA 5505 are normally solid green when a link is established and flashing green when there is network activity. Each Ethernet interface (numbered 0 through 7) has two LEDs: one to indicate the operating speed and the other to indicate whether the physical link is established.
  • Page 11 If the LINK/ACT LED does not light up, the link could be down if there is a duplex mismatch. You can fix the problem by changing the settings either on the Cisco ASA 5505 or on the other end. If auto-negotiation is disabled (it is enabled by default), you might be using the wrong type of cable.
