ASA 5510 help

raj_bjs77 · ‎02-18-2007

Let's say I have the following configured on my ASA 5510:

Internet

|

ASA-----DMZ

|

Catalyst 3560

|

LAN

interface ethernet1.99

nameif management

security-level 100

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.1.14

vlan 1

exit

interface ethernet1/1.100

nameif inside

ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.2.2

vlan 2

exit

As you can see the ASA has my users and servers are connected to vlan 2 and vlan 1 will be used for managing the routers, switches, and firewalls.

My question is the configuration for the firewall correct and what type of configuration would I need to do on the switch? whether i need to make the port on the switch as L3 which is connecting to inside interface of ASA.

Thanks

Hi,

Your config looks good.

Now whether we need a layer 2 switch or layer 3 switch well.... since your ASA has only one vlan to the inside interface..i think it would make do with a layer 2 interface and it would look at the mac addresses of the dest to transfer them accordingly

If someone could shed more light..

Thanks

HI,

My plan is to add more vlan in the inside interface. I have L3 switch with 2 switches for redundancy. How to configure the switch and ASA inside interface for the traffic to flow for all vlans between. Whether i can enable HSRP on the two switches and configure the vlan as hsrp which will connect to inside interface of ASA

pls help

Thanks

Isn?t it a good idea to Configure Your L3 Switch your core VLAN and configure your Firewall as normal with DMZ.
