How to setup the internet access through the Cisco ASA firewall?

How to setup the internet access through the Cisco ASA firewall?

Basic Guidelines for setting Internet through the Cisco ASA firewall:
At first we need to configure the interfaces on the firewall.
!— Configure the outside interface.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 10.165.200.226 255.255.255.224
!— Configure the inside interface.
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
The nameif command gives the interface a name and assigns a security level. Typical names are outside, inside, or DMZ.
Security levels are numeric values, ranging from 0 to 100, used by the appliance to control traffic flow. Traffic is permitted to flow from interfaces with higher security levels to interfaces with lower security levels, but not the other way. Access-lists must be used to permit traffic to flow from lower security levels to higher security levels. The default security level for an outside interface is 0. For an inside interface, the default security level is 100.
IP address- IP address of interface
The next step will be to setup the nat & route
!
!— Creates an object called OBJ_GENERIC_ALL.
!— Any host IP not already matching another configured
!— NAT rule will Port Address Translate (PAT) to the outside interface IP
!— on the ASA (or 10.165.200.226) for Internet bound traffic.
!
object network OBJ_GENERIC_ALL
subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
!
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic OBJ_GENERIC_ALL interface
!
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.165.200.225
The nat statement, as shown above, tells the firewall to allow all traffic flowing from the inside to the outside interface to use whatever address is dynamically (DHCP) configured on the outside interface.
In the route statement at the end if you use the word interface instead the traffic is pat to firewall interface ‘route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface’
The last step is to add the access-list to permit traffic.
Create the simple access-list to allow inside network access to internet.
hostname (config)# object-group service allow_internet_tcp tcp
hostname (config-service)# description allow tcp ports for allowing access internet access
hostname (config-service)# port-object eq 80
hostname (config-service)# port-object eq 443
hostname (config)# object-group service allow_internet_udp udp
hostname (config-service)# description allow udp ports for allowing access internet access
hostname (config-service)# port-object eq DNS
access-list INSIDE-IN extended permit tcp 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 <inside network >any eq allow_internet_tcp
access-list INSIDE-IN extended permit tcp 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 <inside network>any eq allow_internet_udp

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80 Unable to Connect to Server A connection to the management server will fail if: A firewall between SmartConsole and the management server blocks Port 19009 -  port 19009 is used for a new R80 service. Allow traffic on this port for all clients and management servers. No GUI clients are assigned -  Open the Gaia Portal. If the First Time Configuration Wizard opens, complete it. If the First Time Configuration Wizard has already run, open  User Management > GUI Clients  and add a client. When using Multi-Domain Security Management, connect SmartConsole to the Multi-Domain Server and make sure the domains have GUI clients assigned to them. The required processes are not reachable -  Make sure the computer with SmartConsole installed can reach the IP address of the management server, and that these server processes are up and running: cpm fwm Operation time out  – Your connection ...

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT Symptoms After creating a Manual Static NAT rule, Security Gateway does not answer the ARP Requests for the Static NATed IP address that was configured in the Manual NAT rule. Security Gateway replies to ARP requests with a wrong MAC address, mostly for the NAT traffic.  Introduction Let us consider the following scenario: Two networks ( Network_A  and  Network_B ) are separated by a Security Gateway (single Security Gateway or ClusterXL). On each network, there is a host ( Host_A  on  Network_A ,  Host_B  on  Network_B ). Let us assume, that  Network_A  represents the  Internal  network, and  Network_B  represents the  External  network. According to the existing standards, when  Host_B  needs to send data to  Host_A , an ARP Request for the MAC address of  Host_A  will be sent by  Host_B  to  Network...
