I want to set up a small firewall model for branch office purpose but it should have superior capability like others in series. Give a basic step-by-step procedure on how to configure the Cisco ASA 5505 firewall?
Tutorial On How To Configure The Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall
First of all, make sure that you have a static public IP Address in the range of 192.168.1.0/24.
Now, let’s see the basic tutorial steps on configuring a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall:
- Configure the internal interface VLAN 1:
It includes nameif inside, security-level 100, IP Address 192.168.1.1 – 255.255.255.0, and no shut.
- Configure the external interface VLAN 2:
It includes nameif outside, security-level 0, IP Address 200.200.200.1 – 255.255.255.0, and no shut.
- Assign Ethernet 0/0 to VLAN 2:
It includes switchport access VLAN 2, and no shut.
- Enable the rest interfaces with no shut:
It includes interface Ethernet 0/1.
