setup for firewall

[carl_townshend]

Hi all, im new to firewall and ASA. we are thinking of putting some servers on my lan behind a firewall, and access to these servers would be via the ASA, my question is if we wanted to keep the same ip addresses on the servers, can we run the asa in transparent mode, but yet still use access lists from different sources to and from these servers ?

cheers

Hello.

What do you mean keep the same IP addresses on the server? Before the ASA what was their IP addresses?

I am asking the above questions because ASA does support inside to outside communication without the need to NAT the source IP.

Hi,

Yes you can keep source ip same keeping ASA in transperent Mode. IS ASA/Servers are hosting a public site or ??

Thanks

they are not hosting a public site, they just sit internal on the same lan, so can i use the asa as a firewall for these servers and apply access lists to them etc, do i need to put them on another vlan though in transparent mode also ?
