topic Setup Transparent ASA in Network Security

Setup Transparent ASA

Hi,

I'm trying to get started on setting up my first Transparent ASA.

I understand an ASA in Transparent Mode can now have an ip address with Bridge Groups or some such mechanism. I'm looking for examples of how to set that up and other information below.

Is the ip address associated with the device or is it interface specific? Will I be able to SSH with that ip address setup?

Can I use ASDM if the Transparent ASA has an ip address?

This 5512X has an IPS. Anyone who has setup an IPS on this platform knows it has some very particular requirments in order to communicate with the outside world. I need examples of how to do that with a Transparent ASA.

How is NAT setup differently (if at all) on a Transparent ASA?

Are ACLs done any differently?

Any help is apprciated. Examples or links are great.

Thanks.

You willl now use Bridge-Groups...

It's especific to a bridge group ( The Ip address) and yes you will be able to ssh, telnet,ASDM to that Ip.

NAT and ACL setup is the same thing.

Here is a quick example I did

interface bvI 10
ip address 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
no shut

interface gigabitEthernet 0
nameif outside
no shut
interface gigabitEthernet 0
bridge-group 10

interface gigabitEthernet 1
nameif inside
no shut
bridge-group 10
