ASA >8.3, names and acls ?

[dclee]

Just building our new ASA from scratch and have ran into a small issue regarding names.

On our old PIX most of my ACLs have hostnames that map to IP's via the names table.

I pasted the names table over to the ASA in hopes that I would then be able to simply paste over the ACL's that reference these names

but no luck.

Being new to the 8.3 space, am I no longer able to do this

ex

name 192.168.10.5 testserver

access-list outside_allow extended permit ip any host testserver

Cheers

Hello,

That is correct from 8.3 we start using network objects instead of names.

So here is my recomendation:

1- Go to 8.2 first and build the names and then upgrade to 8.3 so the names will be translated automatically to an object newtork

2-Start the object network configuration from 8.3 manually , then you just add them to the ACL's and nat stuff.
