  • Allow Split Tunneling for VPN Clients on the ASA Configuration Example
    ASA/PIX: Allow Split Tunneling for VPN Clients on the ASA Configuration Example Contents Introduction Prerequisites Requirements Components Used Network Diagram Related Products Conventions Background Information Configure Split Tunneling on the ASA Configure the ASA 7.x with Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) 5.x Configure the ASA 8.x with Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) 6.x Configure the ASA 7.x and later via CLI Configure PIX 6.x through the CLI Verify Connect with the VPN Client View the VPN Client Log Test Local LAN Access with Ping Troubleshoot Limitation with Number of Entries in a Split Tunnel ACL Related Information Introduction This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to allow VPN Clients access to the Internet while they are tunneled into a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 5500 Series Security Appliance. This configuration allows VPN Clients secure access to corporate resources via IPsec while giving unsecured access to the Internet. Note: Full tunneling is considered the most secure configuration because it does not enable simultaneous device access to both the Internet and the corporate LAN. A compromise between full tunneling and split tunneling allows VPN Clients local LAN access only. Refer to PIX/ASA 7.x: Allow Local LAN Access for VPN Clients Configuration Example for more information. Prerequisites Requirements This document assumes that a working remote access VPN configuration already exists on the ASA. Refer to PIX/ASA 7.x as a Remote VPN Server using ASDM Configuration Example if one is not already configured. Components Used The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions: ● Cisco ASA 5500 Series Security Appliance Software version 7.x and later ● Cisco Systems VPN Client version 4.0.5 Note: This document also contains the PIX 6.x CLI configuration that is compatible for the Cisco VPN client 3.x.

  • Cisco PIX Firewall Series
    Cisco PIX Firewall Series Product Overview The Cisco PIX Firewall series delivers strong security in an easy-to-install, integrated hardware/software firewall appliance that offers outstanding performance. Cisco’s world-leading PIX Firewall family spans the entire user application spectrum, from cost-conscious desktop firewalls for remote offices to carrier-class gigabit firewalls for the most demanding enterprise and service provider environments. Cisco PIX Firewalls deliver superior performance of up to 500,000 simultaneous connections and nearly 1.7 Gigabits per second (Gbps) aggregate throughput—while providing Cisco customers world-class security, reliability and customer service. Key Features and Benefits • Security — Cisco PIX Firewalls are purpose-built firewall appliances that utilize a proprietary, hardened operating system which eliminates security risks associated with general purpose operating systems. PIX firewalls also provide the latest in security technology ranging from stateful inspection firewalling, IPsec and L2TP/PPTP-based VPNs, content filtering capabilities, and integrated intrusion detection to help secure your network environment from next-generation attacks. At the heart of the PIX Firewall family is the adaptive security algorithm (ASA), which maintains the secure perimeters between the networks controlled by the firewall. The stateful, connection-oriented ASA design creates session flows based on source and destination addresses, TCP sequence numbers (which are non-predictable), port numbers, and additional TCP flags. All inbound and outbound traffic is controlled by applying security policies to each connection table entry. • Performance — Cisco PIX firewall’s highly scalable, yet very secure architecture based upon stateful inspection technology and application-aware "fixups" provides state-of-the-art performance and robust security.

  • The PIX OS Command-Line Interface V1.11 – Aaron Balchunas 1
    The PIX OS Command-Line Interface v1.11 – Aaron Balchunas 1 - The PIX OS Command-Line Interface - PIX OS Versions The operating system for Cisco PIX/ASA firewalls is known as the PIX OS. Because the PIX product line was acquired and not originally developed by Cisco, PIX OS versions up to 6.0 featured a command-line interface that was similar to, but not exactly like, the Cisco IOS. Cisco blended features from the Cisco IOS and PIX OS to form PIX OS 7.0. While PIX OS 6.0 (and prior) and PIX OS 7.0 are similar, there are key differences, which will be reflected in this guide. Cisco ASA firewalls support PIX OS 7.0 exclusively. Basics of the PIX OS CLI As with the Cisco Router IOS, there are various modes in the PIX OS CLI, each of which contains a set of commands specific to the function of that mode. By default, the first mode you enter when logging into the PIX OS is User mode. User mode appends a “>” after the device hostname: pixfirewall> No configuration can be changed or viewed from User mode. Only basic status information can be viewed from this mode, and thus user mode is mostly used to authenticate to higher privileged modes. Privileged mode allows all configuration files, settings, and status information to be viewed. Privileged mode appends a “#” after the device hostname: pixfirewall> enable PASSWORD pixfirewall# Very little configuration can be changed directly from Privileged mode. Instead, to actually configure the Cisco device, one must enter Global Configuration mode: pixfirewall# config terminal pixfirewall(config)# * * * All original material copyright © 2007 by Aaron Balchunas ([email protected]), unless otherwise noted.
