ASA Command Line Interface Documentation

Security Cloud Control fully supports the ASA command line interface. We provide a terminal-like interface within Security Cloud Control for users to send ASA commands to single devices and multiple devices simultaneously. The ASA command line interface documentation is extensive. Rather than recreating parts of it in the Security Cloud Control documentation, here are pointers to the ASA CLI documentation on Cisco.com.

ASA Command Line Interface Configuration Guides

Starting with ASA version 9.1, the ASA CLI Configuration Guide is broken into three separate books:

  • CLI Book 1: Cisco ASA Series General Operations CLI Configuration Guide

  • CLI Book 3: Cisco ASA Series VPN CLI Configuration Guide

You can reach the ASA CLI Configuration Guides on Cisco.com by navigating, Support > Products by Category > Security > Firewalls > ASA 5500 > Configure > Configuration Guides.
