Cisco → [Config] ASA 5505 - need help

I recently picked up ASA 5505 and would like to use it at home for accessing my internet connection and firewall.
I tried to use the gui to setup the internet access, but the number of options etc is overwhelming.
Does anyone have any basic instruction how to configure it with a basic internet access? I really appreciate any help.

Thank you

Check the FAQ under section 40.2 : Configure PIX/ASA as both Internet Firewall and
VPN Concentrator. Are you planning to configure this through the GUI or CLI? Does
it have an existing config on it already?

Regards

I will check the FAQ - thank you.

To answer your questions. The device was brand new in the box, so I believe it wouldnt have any sort of config.
I prefer GUI config, but I could also try CLI if available.

I got one brandnew in a box and it had the default config -- inspection, NAT and all.
Power it up and do a 'show run' to see.

I will do it when I get home. Thank you

Yes, the factory default config should work fine. Plug your internet connection into port 0 and you're set

Let us know how it goes, and we'll give you a hand if you need it.

»Practice ASA for my CCNA

All,

I also recently purchased a ASA 5505 and want to use it with my current FIOS actiontec router. My plan is to put my verizon (DHCP IP's) internet into port 0/0 of ASA and maybe a switch (if needed) into port 0/1 of ASA and then the verizon FIOS Actiontec router into port 0/2 for coax TV (VOD).

As mentioned above do I need a separate switch for my internal LAN or can I just use one of the open ports on the ASA for my internal LAN?

Also I know that the ASA has a basic config on it already but I am very rusty with my cisco commands, NAT, PAT, and ACL's (CLI) and would like to use the ASA GUI. Can anyone help me with or provide a running config that works with a setup similar to what I have mentioned above.

Thank you very much.

Depends on how you have the ASA configured rossera1.

What licence is your ASA? Base? If so, eth0 by default is the untrust (aka security 0) port,
and eth1-7 are the trusted / LAN ports. Only reason you'd need an additional switch is if the
remaining 7 ports is insufficient to wire in all your LAN hosts.

If you really want a basic ASA config, see FAQ item # 50.1 as that's about as basic ASA config
as you can get.

My default configs are as HELLFIRE said, eth0 is the untrust port and eth 1-7 are the trusted LAN ports. So I should not need a switch for just 3 computers. I will check out the FAQ item #50.1 IRT the ASA configs and let you know it that works.

Thanks for the help HELLFIRE.

not saying you need a switch but if it is just basic internet its fine i went with a switch as i stream files across my house from the file server and i went gig this is the only reason and wireless N i stream files this way also to upstairs. i just used the basic setup until i decided what i wanted.

under the config tab interfaces you need a outside ip it can be ppoe static or dhcpenable it and this is vlan 2 security 0 and ports 1 thru 7 are vlan 1 security 100 and be sure to give it a ip and setup dhcp and dns on the device mgmt. this is all i did to get started. I use mine with att uverse and left all the tvs on there stuff and my network behind the asa.

Best of luck rossera1, let us know how it goes.
