Installing and Enabling the ASA REST API Agent

For physical ASAs, the REST API Agent is published separately from other ASA images on cisco.com. That is, shipped 
physical ASA images do not include the REST API plug-in package. The REST API package must be downloaded to the 
device’s flash and installed using the “rest-api image” command. The REST API Agent is then enabled using the “rest-api 
agent” command.

With a virtual ASA (ASAv), the deployment package includes the REST API image, provided in the "boot:" partition. The 
ASAv is not configured to use the REST API by default, so you must issue the "rest-api image" command, followed by 
the “rest-api agent” command, to access and enable the REST API Agent.

In multi-context mode, the REST API Agent commands are available only in the System context.

The REST API Agent is a Java-based application. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is bundled in the REST API 

Agent package.
