Configure Cisco ASA 5505

[sagarshaha]

Hi,

We have Cisco ASA 5505 pix firewall and I have done the basic configuration and enabled DHCP on the firewall.

What i would like to know is, is there a way to test if the DHCP and internet from this firewall is working fine by connecting it into our existing network and without taking any downtime?

This is to test that the firewall works fine with current setup and ready to go in production.

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks,

Sagar

"ip name-server" allows the ASA to do DNS lookups.  Not likely to be very important.

To enable the ASA to give out the DNS servers of the ISP via DHCP use:

dhcpd dns <isp name server 1> <isp name server 2>

Hi Philip,

Just wanted to check, I'm able to connect using AnyConnect VPN client but I'm unable to ping the Firewall and unable to connect too using internal IP address. any reason?

Note: I'm able to connect to internal file server though..

Thanks,

Sagar
