[kmmehlkmmehl]

Hi Guys!

I am stuck i want to configure an ASA 5505 in transparent mode (7.x). SOmehow i got it to work.. but i need some kind of step by step description. I just wantto connect it with outside on a route .. inside in my LAn. Its working now with one ASA.. i have no idea why. But in the Web Interface the Interfaces inside and outside are down.. but its working.

So whats the correct way of configuring (from scratch) ?

THANKS

Hi, I need help in configuring Transparent Firewall in my ntwrk.

Setup:

Router

    |

ASA

    |

Switch

My question is:

In my original setup i dont have any ASA. Now we would like to insert an ASA in middle.

We have sub interfaces on the router for different vlans. Now when I configure vlans on ASA for inside and outside and assign to Ethernet interfaces, will the ASA allow traffic which are with different vlans.

---------------------------------------

Should I assign the interface connectd to router as Trunk or will this work.

My router has the below interfaces

EEIPL-RTR-1#sh ip int br

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

FastEthernet0/0            unassigned      YES NVRAM  up                    up 

FastEthernet0/0.242        10.28.242.1     YES NVRAM  up                    up 

FastEthernet0/0.243        10.28.243.1     YES NVRAM  up                    up 

FastEthernet0/0.244        10.28.244.1     YES NVRAM  up                    up 

FastEthernet0/0.245        10.28.245.1     YES NVRAM  up                    up 

FastEthernet0/0.246        10.28.246.1     YES NVRAM  up                    up

Will my basic ASA transparent firewall config will allow the traffic.

ASA config:

interface vlan 1

nameif inside

interface vlan 2

nameif outside

interface eth0/0

switchport access vlan 1

interface eth0/1

switchport access vlan 2
