Configure Cisco ASA-5506

how do you configure the Configure Cisco ASA-5506

is it also GUI based, or just command ?

Is there any GUI that can connect to it and configure it without knowing the commands?

it shows that it has some CLI command and some GUI.

is that correct?
The initial basic configuration does need to be done with the CLI. After that you can do everything through the ASDM.

The device itself doesn't have it's own GUI?
ASDM is the GUI for Cisco firewalls. They do not have a GUI like a switch, if that is what you are thinking.

Where can I download the ASDM?

You get the version from the firewall when you attempt to browse to it:

7. Launch ASDM

See the ASDM release notes on Cisco.com for the requirements to run ASDM.

Procedure

 1. On the computer connected to the ASA, launch a web browser.

 2. In the Address field, enter the following URL:  https://192.168.1.1/admin. The  Cisco ASDM web page appears.

 3. Click one of the available options:  Install ASDM Launcher,  Run ASDM, or  Run Startup Wizard.

 4. Follow the onscreen instructions to launch ASDM according to the option you chose. The  Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher  appears.

 Note: If you click  Install ASDM Launcher, in some cases you need to install an identity certificate for the ASA and a separate certificate for the ASA FirePOWER module according to Install an Identity Certificate for ASDM.

 5. Leave the username and password fields empty, and click  OK. The main ASDM window appears.

I do it through ssh or telnet with PuTTY?
Yes use PuTTY.  Since it is a new configuration you can probably use Telnet.  I haven't done a new one for awhile and we disable telnet and only use SSH now.
