Logging Out of the ASA Services Module
If you do not log out of the ASASM, the console connection persists; there is no timeout. To end the
ASASM console session and access the switch CLI, perform the following steps.
To kill another user’s active connection, which may have been unintentionally left open, see the
configuration guide.
Step 1 To return to the switch CLI, type:
Ctrl-Shift-6, x
You return to the switch prompt.
Note: Shift-6 on US and UK keyboards issues the caret (^) character. If you have a different
keyboard and cannot issue the caret (^) character as a standalone character, you can
temporarily change the escape character to a different character. In Cisco IOS, before you
session to the ASASM, use the terminal escape-character ascii _number command. For
example, to temporarily change the sequence to Ctrl-w, x, enter terminal escape-character 23.
6 Configuring ASDM Connectivity
Because the ASASM does not have physical interfaces, it does not come pre-configured for ASDM
access; you must configure ASDM access using the CLI on the ASASM.
Command Purpose
