Summary

This section covered the initial configuration of the Cisco ASA. We started by looking at using the CLI and ASDM for configuration and then moved on to how to configure IP addresses on the interfaces and names and security levels. We then covered NAT, routing, and switching on the ASA.

This section provided a simple network that saw us address the interfaces, configure NAT for outbound access, and allow a static translation to an internal web server. We also created an access rule that allowed inbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the web server using an object group rather than individual access contol list entries.

The next section covers the configuration of authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA, pronounced “triple A”) on the ASA.
