Chapter 3 Using the ASDM User Interface
Home Pane (Single Mode and Context)
Note If you do not have enough memory to upgrade to the most current release of the ASA, the Memory
Insufficient Warning dialog box appears. Follow the directions that appear in this dialog box to continue
using the ASA and ASDM in a supported manner. Click OK to close this dialog box.
License Tab
This tab shows a subset of licensed features. To view detailed license information, or to enter a new
activation key, click More Licenses; the Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation
Key pane appears. See Chapter 4, “Managing Feature Licenses.”
Interface Status Pane
This pane shows the status of each interface. If you select an interface row, the input and output
throughput in Kbps displays below the table.
VPN Sessions Pane
This pane shows the VPN tunnel status. Click Details to go to the Monitoring > VPN > VPN Statistics
> Sessions pane.
Failover Status Pane
This pane shows the failover status.
Click Configure to start the High Availability and Scalability Wizard. After you have completed the
wizard, the failover configuration status (either Active/Active or Active/Standby) appears.
If failover is configured, click Details to open the Monitoring > Properties > Failover > Status pane.
System Resources Status Pane
This pane shows CPU and memory usage statistics.
Traffic Status Pane
This pane shows graphs for connections per second for all interfaces and for the traffic throughput of the
lowest security interface.
When your configuration contains multiple lowest security level interfaces, and any one of them is
named “outside,” then that interface is used for the traffic throughput graphs. Otherwise, ASDM picks
the first interface from the alphabetical list of lowest security level interfaces.
Latest ASDM Syslog Messages Pane
This pane shows the most recent system messages generated by the ASA, up to a maximum of 100
messages. If logging is disabled, click Enable Logging to enable logging.
