Deploying the Cisco ASA 1000V This chapter includes the following sections: • • • • • • • • Information About the ASA 1000V Deployment This section includes the following topics: • • • About the ASA 1000V Management Modes When you deploy the ASA 1000V, you must choose the management mode: either the Cisco VNMC or ASDM management mode. Note Each management mode is mutually exclusive; you cannot use the Cisco VNMC and ASDM management mode on the same deployment. After deploying the ASA 1000V, you cannot change the management mode without redeploying the ASA 1000V with the VMware vSphere Client. When the ASA 1000V deployment consists of a failover pair, both the primary and secondary ASA 1000V must use the same management mode. Determining Which Management Mode to Configure for the ASA 1000V Configure the ASA 1000V to use VNMC management mode when you plan to do the following tasks with the ASA 1000V: • Use a single graphical user interface to manage Cisco VSG, ASA 1000V, and other cloud products from Cisco.

• Manage many ASA 1000Vs from a single management station. • Provide tenant access to policies through RBAC in a multitenant data center.

Should Cisco VNMC be directly connected to the ASA 1000V management interface? • Can you use the ASA 1000V CLI to change the ASA 1000V management mode from ASDM to VNMC or from VNMC to ASDM after deploying the ASA 1000V? • Do I need to install a license file on ASA 1000V for it to work?

• Share policies between devices (rapid provisioning of policies). • Use model-based policies and the XML API to configure the ASA 1000V. Provides a detailed list of the benefits of using Cisco VNMC as your management mode for the ASA 1000V. Table 2-1 Benefits of Using VNMC Management Mode Feature Description Benefit Multiple Device Management Cisco VNMC provides central management of Cisco ASA 1000V and Cisco VSG for Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switches. Simplifies provisioning and troubleshooting in a scaled-out data center.

Edge Security Profiles An edge security profile represents the Cisco ASA 1000V security policy configuration in a profile. Simplifies provisioning, reduces administrative errors during security policy changes, reduces audit complexities, and enables a highly scaled-out data center environment. Dynamic Security Policy and Zone Provisioning Cisco VNMC interacts with the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series VSM to bind the edge security profile to the corresponding Cisco Nexus 1000V series port profile. When virtual machines are dynamically instantiated by server administrators and appropriate port profiles are applied, their association with trust zones is also established. Helps enable edge security profiles to stay aligned with rapid changes in the virtual data center.

Multitenant (Scale-out) Management Cisco VNMC is designed to manage security policies for Cisco ASA 1000V and Cisco VSG in a dense, multitenant environment so that administrators can quickly add and delete tenants and update tenant-specific configurations and security policies. Simplifies management of a highly dynamic virtual environment, reduces administrative errors, helps ensure the segregation of duties in administrative teams, and simplifies audit procedures. Role-based Access Control (RBAC) RBAC simplifies operation tasks across different types of administrators, while allowing subject-matter experts to continue with their normal procedures. • Reduces administrative errors. • Enables detailed control of user privileges.

• Simplifies auditing requirements. XML-based API The Cisco VNMC XML API allows external system management and orchestration tools to programmatically provision the ASA 1000V and Cisco VSG. • Allows use of best-in-class management software. • Offers transparent and scalable operation management.
