Implementing Cisco Edge Network Security Solutions (SENSS, legacy) — Question 1

An administrator installed a Cisco ASA that runs version 9.1. You are asked to configure the firewall through Cisco ASDM.

When you attempt to connect to a Cisco ASA with a default configuration, which username and password grants you full access?

Answer options

• A. admin / admin
• B. asaAdmin / (no password)
• C. It is not possible to use Cisco ASDM until a username and password are created via the username usernamepassword password CLI command.
• D. enable_15 / (no password)
• E. cisco / cisco

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the default access for ASDM on a newly installed Cisco ASA allows the use of 'enable_15' without a password. Options A, B, and E do not apply as they either require predefined usernames or passwords that do not exist in the default configuration. Option C is misleading since it suggests ASDM cannot be used at all without first creating a username and password, which is not accurate for accessing the default configuration.
