Overview/Description
The Cisco ASA requires a minimal configuration to enforce a basic security policy in a network. Because of interface security levels, the Adaptive Security Appliance allows only traffic from more secured networks to less secured networks by default. Returning traffic is also allowed, because Stateful Packet Inspection is enabled by default. However, at a minimum the interfaces and basic routing need to be configured on an ASA device. This course describes the basic connectivity choices that you have when you are deploying a Cisco ASA. The course also describes the configuration and verification of basic settings, such as interface settings, static routing, and DHCP features on a Cisco ASA.
