To prepare the OVA/OVF file for the primary, secondary, or stand-alone ASA 1000V, select one of the following configurations in the Deploy OVF Template window:.

The administrator must deploy ASA 1000V on ESX through VMware vCentre by using an OVA/OVF file downloaded from the Cisco website. The administrator must prepare the required OVA/OVF file for the primary, secondary, and stand-alone ASA 1000V.

You cannot use a fresh OVA/OVF file because it does not have certain initial configurations that are required to enable SSH/Telnet, user name, password, and so on. OVA/OVF requirementsД«MC Network Automation must be able to access ASA 1000V as soon as it is deployed. As soon as the secondary ASA 1000V VM starts, it searches for the primary ASA 1000V, and after failover formation completes, the secondary ASA 1000V fetches all the configuration from the primary and completes the synchronization process. However, when deploying the secondary ASA 1000V VM, you must pass the HA Active/Standby IPv4 address and HA network mask parameters only, and specify 0.0.0.0 as the value for the other parameters. When deploying the primary ASA 1000V VM, you must pass all the required management IP parameters: management IP address, Standby IP address, HA Active/Standby IP address, and VNMC IP address. BMC Network Automation uses a predefined Open Virtualization Archive/ Open Virtualization Format (OVA/OVF) for VM deployment. GigabitEthernet 0/2: For failover or high-availability (HA) traffic, with IP address parameters that you specified when you deployed the ASA 1000VДЄSA 1000V can support only one 'inside' network or one VLAN and no trunk.Д«MC Network Automation manages deployment and undeployment of an ASA 1000V VM on vCentre by using an external script action, which calls a vSphere API to perform a deploy or undeploy operation. GigabitEthernet 0/1: For 'outside' data (lower security level) GigabitEthernet 0/0: For 'inside' data (higher security level) Management 0/0: For management-only traffic, named management, with IP address parameters that you specified when you deployed the ASA 1000V ASA 1000V deviceДЄSA 1000V is in the form of a VM, which can be deployed on an ESX hypervisor by using a VMware vCentre Server.Д®ach ASA 1000V provides four available Ethernet interfaces for data and failover traffic: one for management, two for 'through' traffic, and one for a failover link, as follows: In BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management,В ASA 1000V supports only the VNMC mode. Also, in an ASA 1000V deployment that consists of a failover pair, the primary and secondary ASA 1000V must use the same management mode. After deploying ASA 1000V, you cannot change the management mode without redeploying ASA 1000V by using the VMware vSphere client. You cannot use both management modes in the same deployment. Virtual Network Management Center (VNMC): Acts as a central management system for the VSG and ASA 1000V deviceД®ach mode is mutually exclusive. The command line of ASA 1000V is the same as the physical ASA 1000V device. The following figure depicts a Cisco ASA 1000V firewall in a multitenant environment:ДЄSA 1000V has the following management modes:ДЄdaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM): The traditional mode that supports the ASA 1000V CLI.

The Cisco ASA 1000V firewall is used with Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) to provide tenant edge security, which provides more fine-grained security within the same IP space or VLAN. Secures VMs within the tenant against any network-based attacks Supports edge features and functionality, including site-to-site virtual private network (VPN), network address translation (NAT), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) The Cisco ASA 1000V Cloud firewall is a virtual appliance developed using the Cisco ASA 1000V infrastructure to secure the tenant edge in multitenant environments with Nexus 1000V deployments.
