seeking Asa 5506 firewall configuration tips

Ministry
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All.

 

Ive just setup an ASA 5506 for my home (office) use.

 

Its been awhile since ive last configured a cisco appliance, so i was wondered if you guys would take a quick peek at my config and give me pointers on silly or stupid configs.

 

My setup is that ive replaced my standard ISP router with the ASA, its tagged via VLAN on the outside interface and configured via DHCP.

 

Ive configured a basic firewall rule to basicly just deny anything from the outside interface to the inside, thats really all i had the fantasy to do.

 

Any tips for strengthening the security of my network? i dont care about bogging down my internet connection or losing performance.

 

Thank you.

Note: i dont have a license for the firePOWER module as that is too expensive for home office usage.


Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place

High level looks ok, Did your PC able to get the internet ? then all good.

 

by default outside to inside is denied by the behaviour of ASA.

 

you can look hardening ASA in many ways if you looking to do so.
