Configuring a Cisco ASA firewall
In this section, you will deploy a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) firewall on an enterprise network. You will gain hands-on experience in terms of implementing security levels on each interface, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), and various IP services.
Before building the lab environment, the following factors are of importance:
- In the lab topology, use a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall, Cisco 2911 routers, and Cisco 2960 switches.
- Use straight-through cables to interconnect each device, as shown in the network diagram in Figure 15.18.
Please build the following network topology within Cisco Packet Tracer 7.3.1 for this lab exercise:
Figure 15.18 – Cisco ASA lab topology
Once you have connected each device as shown in the preceding screenshot, we'll be using the following IPv4 addressing scheme to configure the IP addresses on each device:
