CISCO ASA 5505 firewall configuration

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to Cisco firewalls and recently purchased an ASA 5505 security appliance for my company. I need some help in the initial configuration and setup of my device. Although I'm well versed in networking, there are many caveats to the firewall that I need help with. I used the Startup Wizard to configure the 5505 with my IP settings, hoping it would, at least, let me connect to the internet - it did not, so obviously I am missing something (or many things) I use the private addressing scheme inside (192.168.0.1-255) and have a public range of 216.64.x.x consisting of 15 addresses. I have an older firewall that I attempted to mirror the settings for on the 5505. Could someone provide some direction. I'll be glad to provide all the information you need. Would posting the configuration help?

Cheers,
Bill

You probably need to set up some natting and some ACLs.

I would first start out by defining your interfaces. Assigning an address to the internal network and an address to the external. Then you would have to define which interface is "lan" and which is "internet" etc. . . p.m. me your email and I can send you a good pdf how to.

hi,

I'm in the same situation, i'm a beginner in cisco and specialy in ASA.

ASA is a massive subject with courses over weeks. It would be best to post specific questions instead of "need some help". What do you need help with ?
