ASA 5515-x - Access List Question

adamtodd16

Just inherited an ASA 5515-x and have a quick question. The default access list for  inbound traffic is set to: 

access-list outside_access_in extended permit ip any any

Well, my alarm bell immediately go off when I see this. Just want to ensure the access list will function similar to that of a cisco router. The ASA is the front facing Internet device, with AnyConnect Clients and 8 spoke sites connecting over VPN. There are no web servers behind it, just a LAN with 3 separate VLANS.

Wondering what the ACL should look like?

Yikes. That's almost never the access-list one would want on an Internet-facing firewall.

If there are no addresses requiring inbound-initiated connections via the firewall then there generally doesn't need to be ANY access-list on the outside interface - the default will prevent any from establishing. Your site-site and remote access VPN will be covered by the services bound to the interface (and access-lists referenced by crypto maps etc.).
