Activate ASDM as GUI Interface for Cisco ASA/PIX Firewall
pixfirewall> enable
Password:
pixfirewall# configure terminal
pixfirewall(Config)# interface ethernet1
pixfirewall(Config-if)# nameif inside
pixfirewall(Config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
pixfirewall(Config-if)# no shutdown
pixfirewall(Config-if)#
Activate ASDM and enable http server.
pixfirewall(Config)# asdm image flash:/asdm.bin.
pixfirewall(Config)# http server enable.
Open a connection for your PC. Example your pc IP address is 192.168.1.2
pixfirewall(Config)# http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside
Make sure all your config running properly.
pixfirewall(Config)# show running http
http server enabled
http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside
pixfirewall(Config)#
Now your Cisco ASA/PIX can be access from your PC.
Make sure your PC and Firewall has connected and open your web browser then enter this address https://192.168.1.1/admin
Basic Router Setup
Thank you for your Question. So a basic setup to get you going and to get all 5 of your computers online you will need a DHCP and NAT. The nice thing is you will only need to configure the Router. I have created from your email what I think is the network you currently have.
So to configure the router we have to do a couple of things.
- Setup Port on Router for DHCP from Modem
- Setup DHCP Server on Router
- Setup Nat
To get started console in to the Router, and get in to Config mode.
Router> en
Router# Conf T
Router(config)#
Then let’s run some commands.
Hostname YourNameHere
Ip dhcp pool Pool1
Network 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0
Default-router 192.168.100.1
Dns-server 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2
You now have a DHCP Server running on your router. Time to configure the ports.
interface fa0/0
description External connection to Modem
ip address DHCP
ip nat outside
ip nat enable
ip virtual-reassembly
duplex auto
speed auto
interface fa0/1
description internal
ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip nat enable
ip virtual-reassembly
duplex auto
speed auto
So your ports are now configured. As long as your Modem is providing a DHCP address to the router you should be good to go. There are still a few more things we will have to do to get this up and running.
ip default-gateway fa0/0
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fa0/0
ip nat inside source list 7 interface fa0/0 overload
That’s it. You should be good to go.
Configure IOS Switch – for Ip Phone
When connecting an Ip Phone to a switch the best way to do it is using the correct users PC connection. This helps to cut down on the costs of cables and ports needed. This is similar to a trunk however it lowers the CPU usage required by the switch.
To do this one you need a POE port on a switch with IOS running.
- Connect to the switch.
- Get to Enable mode
- Run the fallowing commands.
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#interface (My Port Goes Here)
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#Switchport access vlan 104
Switch(config-if)#switchport voice vlan 50
Done, that's it. Now connect the phone to switch and the PC to the phone. Do not forget to save the config.
New Switch Configuration – Part 1
New Switch Configuration 3 Part Series
1. Get IP address ( We are Cheating by useing DHCP)
2. Upgrade IOS on Switch.
3. Configuration of the Switch.
Part 1. Get IP Address
Todays Post is the first part of the 3 part seris on how to setup a new switch with a basic configuration. This is a very basic step and I find it helpful when unboxing a new switch to put it on a network with DHCP running and then connect to switch using the console. This way it is easy for me to connect to using the webpage and upload the IOS verision I want. I can hear many of you saying already why is he upgrading using the web GUI and not the CLI. Yes the upgrade using the CLI is also very easy, I am lazy and this way I can just click and upload I dont have to move any files around to the TFTP server, I dont need to worry about typing mistakes. Its point and click and I have a new switch. On older devices I will use the TFTP server and the command line, but over the last few years I have seen a huge improvment with ciscos GUIs.
The Steps
1. Connect to Switch using Console cable. (See Privouse Post)
2. Run the command "Enable" to get in to enable mode. If its a new switch it might ask for a password try "Cisco"
3. Run the command "Show Ip Interface Brief" - This displays all the Ip address's with the switch.
4. The IP address for Vlan1 is the Ip address to connect to the Device.
Notes
This only works on new switchs or switchs where the configuration has been earsed.
