Background/Scenario
The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is an advanced network security device that integrates a
stateful firewall, a VPN, and FirePOWER services. This lab employs an ASA 5506-X to create a firewall and
protect an internal corporate network from external intruders while allowing internal hosts access to the
Internet. The ASA creates three security interfaces: Outside, Inside, and DMZ. It provides outside users with
limited access to the DMZ and no access to internal resources. Inside users can access the DMZ and outside
resources.
The focus of this lab is to configure the ASA as a basic firewall. Other devices will receive minimal
configuration to support the ASA portion of the lab. This lab uses the ASA GUI interface ASDM to configure
basic device and security settings.
In Part 1 of this lab, you will configure the topology and non-ASA devices. In Part 2, you will prepare the ASA
for Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) access. In Part 3, you will use the ASDM Startup wizard to
configure basic ASA settings and the firewall between the inside and outside networks. In Part 4, you will
configure additional settings via the ASDM configuration menu. In Part 5, you will configure a DMZ on the
ASA and provide access to a server in the DMZ.
The scenario for this lab assumes your company has a location connected to an ISP. R1 is a customer-
premise equipment (CPE) device managed by the ISP. R2 represents an intermediate Internet router. R3
connects an administrator from a network management company, who has been hired to remotely manage
your network. The ASA is an edge security device that connects the internal corporate network and DMZ to
the ISP while providing NAT and DHCP services to inside hosts. The ASA will be configured for management
by an administrator on the internal network and the remote administrator. Layer 3 VLAN interfaces provide
access to the three areas created in the lab: Inside, Outside, and DMZ. The ISP has assigned the public IP
address space of 209.165.200.224/29, which will be used for address translation on the ASA.
Note: The router commands and output in this lab are from a Cisco 1941 router with Cisco IOS Release
15.4(3)M2 (with a Security Technology Package license). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
See the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab to determine which interface identifiers to use
based on the equipment in the lab. Depending on the router model and Cisco IOS version, the commands
available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in this lab.

Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

The ASA used with this lab is a Cisco model 5506-X with an 8-port integrated switch, running OS version
9.10(1), Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) version 7.10(1), and comes with a Base license that
allows a maximum of five VLANs.
Note: Before beginning, ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup
configurations.
Instructor Note: Instructions for erasing switches and routers are provided in Chapter 0.0.0.0.

Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)M2 image with a Security Technology Package
license)
 3 Switches (Cisco 2960 with cryptography IOS image for SSH support – Release 15.0(2)SE7 or
comparable) (not required)
 1 ASA 5506-X (OS version 9.10(1) and ASDM version 7.10(1) and Base license or comparable)
 3 PCs (Windows, SSH Client and Java version compatible with installed ASDM version)
 Serial and Ethernet cables, as shown in the topology
 Console cables to configure Cisco networking devices
Instructor Notes:
 This lab is divided into five parts. Part 1 and 2 can be performed separately but must be performed before
Parts 3 through 5. Part 2 uses the ASA CLI to prepare the ASA for ASDM Access. Parts 3 through 5 can
be performed individually, or in combination with others as time permits, but they should be performed
sequentially. In some cases, a task assumes the configuration of certain features in a prior task.
 The main goal is to use an ASA to implement firewall and other services that might previously have been
configured on an ISR. In the Chapter 9 Lab, the student configured the most common basic ASA settings
and services, such as NAT, ACL, DHCP, AAA, and SSH from the CLI. In this lab, the student uses ASDM
to configure these features.
 The final running configs for all devices are found at the end of the lab.

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the routers, such as interface IP
addresses and static routing.
Note: Do not configure ASA settings at this time.

Step 1: Cable the network and clear previous device settings.

Attach the devices shown in the topology diagram and cable as necessary. Ensure that the routers and
switches have been erased and have no startup configurations.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for routers and switches.

a. Configure hostnames, as shown in the topology, for each router.
b. Configure router interface IP addresses, as shown in the IP Addressing table.
c. Configure the hostname for the switches. With the exception of the hostname, the switches can be left in
their default configuration state.

Step 3: Configure static routing on the routers.

a. Configure a static default route from R1 to R2 and from R3 to R2.
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2
R3(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.2
b. Configure a static route from R2 to the R1 G0/0 subnet (connected to ASA interface G1/1) and a static
route from R2 to the R3 LAN.
R2(config)# ip route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.248 10.1.1.1
R2(config)# ip route 172.16.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.2.1

Step 4: Configure and encrypt passwords on R1.

Note: Passwords in this task are set to a minimum of 10 characters and are relatively simple for the purposes
of performing the lab. More complex passwords are recommended in a production network.
a. Configure a minimum password length. Use the security passwords command to set a minimum
password length of 10 characters.
R1(config)# security passwords min-length 10
b. Configure the enable secret password on both routers with a password of cisco12345. Use the type 9
(SCRYPT) hashing algorithm.
R1(config)# enable algorithm-type scrypt secret cisco12345
c. Create a local admin01 account using admin01pass for the password. Use the type 9 (SCRYPT)
hashing algorithm and set privilege level to 15
R1(config)# username admin01 privilege 15 algorithm-type scrypt secret
admin01pass
d. Configure the Console and VTY lines to use the local database for login. For additional security, configure
the lines to log out after five minutes of inactivity. Issue the logging synchronous command to prevent
console messages from interrupting command entry. Configure the VTY lines to support SSH.
R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# login local
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# login local
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# logging synchronous
R1(config-line)# transport input ssh
e. Enable HTTP server access on R1. Use the local database for HTTP authentication.
R1(config)# ip http server
R1(config)# ip http authentication local
Note: HTTP server access will be used to demonstrate ASDM tools in Part 3.

Step 5: Configure PC host IP settings.

Configure a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for PC-A, PC-B, and PC-C as shown in the
IP Addressing table.

Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

Step 6: Verify connectivity.

There will be no connectivity between devices that are connected to the ASA because the ASA is the focal
point for the network zones and it has not been configured. However, PC-C should be able to ping the R1
interface G0/0. From PC-C, ping the R1 G0/0 IP address (209.165.200.225). If these pings are unsuccessful,
troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.
Note: If you can ping from PC-C to R1 G0/0 and S0/0/0, you have demonstrated that addressing has been
configured properly, and static routing is configured and functioning correctly.

Step 7: Save the basic running configuration for each router and switch.

Part 2: Access the ASA Console and ASDM

In Part 2, you will access the ASA via the console and use various show commands to determine hardware,
software, and configuration settings. You will prepare the ASA for ASDM access and explore ASDM screens
and options.

Step 1: Access the ASA console.

a. Accessing the ASA via the console port is the same as accessing it with a Cisco router or switch. Connect
to the ASA console port with a rollover cable and use a terminal emulation program, such as TeraTerm or
PuTTy to open a serial connection and access the CLI.
b. The ASA initially prompts you to pre-configure the firewall using an interactive prompt. We will not be
configuring the ASA this way, therefore enter no and press Enter. If you have inadvertently started the
setup wizard, press CTRL-Z to exit it. The terminal screen should display the default ASA user EXEC
hostname and prompt ciscoasa>.
c. Enter privileged mode with the enable command. The password is blank by default therefore press Enter.
If the password has been changed to what is specified in this lab, enter the word cisco12345.
ciscoasa> enable
Password: cisco12345 (or press Enter if no password is set)

Step 2: Clear previous ASA configuration settings.

If the ASA has been previously configured, use write erase and then reload commands to reset to the default
configurations.

Step 3: Bypass Setup mode and configure the ASDM interfaces.

When the ASA completes the reload process, it should detect that the startup-config file is missing and
present a series of interactive prompts to configure basic ASA settings. If it does not come up in this mode,
repeat Step 2.
a. When prompted to pre-configure the firewall through interactive prompts (Setup mode), respond with no.
Pre-configure Firewall now through interactive prompts [yes]? no
b. Enter privileged EXEC mode with the enable command. The password should be blank (no password) at
this point.
c. Enter global configuration mode using the conf t command. The first time you enter configuration mode
after reloading, you will be prompted to enable anonymous reporting. Respond with no.
d. Configure the inside interface G1/2 to prepare for ASDM access. The Security Level should be
automatically set to the highest level of 100. The interface G1/2 will be used by PC-B to access ASDM on
ASA.
ciscoasa(config)# interface G1/2

GigabitEthernet1/2 192.168.1.1 YES manual administratively down down
GigabitEthernet1/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet1/4 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
<output omitted>

e. Enable the G1/2 interface using the no shutdown command and verify the G1/2 interface status. The
status and protocol for interface G1/2 should be up/up.
ciscoasa(config)# interface G1/2
ciscoasa(config-if)# no shut
ciscoasa(config-if)# exit

ciscoasa(config)# show interface ip brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

GigabitEthernet1/2 192.168.1.1 YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet1/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet1/4 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
<output omitted>

f. Configure outside interface G1/1 and enable the G1/1 interface. You will assign the IP address using
ASDM.
ciscoasa(config)# interface G1/1
ciscoasa(config-if)# nameif outside
INFO: Security level for "outside" set to 0 by default.
ciscoasa(config-if)# security-level 0
ciscoasa(config-if)# no shut
ciscoasa(config-if)# exit
g. Test connectivity to the ASA by pinging from PC-B to ASA interface G1/2 192.168.1.1. The pings should
be successful.

Step 4: Configure ASDM and verify access to the ASA.

Configure the ASA to accept HTTPS connections by using the http command to allow access to ASDM from
any host on the inside network 192.168.1.0/24.
ciscoasa(config)# http server enable
ciscoasa(config)# http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside

Step 5: Access ASDM and explore the GUI.

a. Open a browser on PC-B and test the HTTPS access to the ASA by entering https://192.168.1.1.
Note: Be sure to specify the HTTPS protocol in the URL.
b. After entering the URL above, you will be prompted that the connection is not secure.
Note: These steps are for reference only. Your steps maybe different depending on your chosen browser
when you attempt to connect to the ASA via a web browser.
Microsoft Explorer or Edge: Click Continue to this webpage (not recommended).
Mozilla Firefox: Click Advanced > Add Exception > Confirm Security Exemption.
Google Chrome: Click Advanced > Proceed to 192.168.1.1 (unsafe).
c. You should then see Cisco ASDM Welcome screen that allows you to: Install ASDM Launcher, Run
ASDM or Install Java Web Start.
d. Click Install ASDM Launcher to install the Launcher or Run ASDM to start the Launcher. Follow the
directions on the screen and accept the security warning.
If one of the choices is Install Java Web Start, you will need to input
https://192.168.1.1/admin/public/startup.jnlp in a browser if you do not want to install the Launcher. Open
the downloaded file startup.jnlp using Java ™ Web Start Launcher.
e. After the ASDM Launcher starts, you will be prompted for a username and password. Leave the fields
empty and click OK.
f. The initial GUI screen is displayed with various areas and options. The menu at the top left of the screen
contains three main sections: Home, Configuration, and Monitoring. The Home section is the default and
has two dashboards: Device and Firewall.
Note: If the Startup wizard displays, click Cancel to continue.
There are five areas on the Device dashboard:
o Device Information (default ASDM screen)
o Interface Status
o VPN Sessions
o System Resources Status
o Traffic Status

These areas display various information about the ASA. For instance, the Device Information displays
device information, such as hostname, ASA version, ASDM version, firewall mode, device type (ASA
5506), and more.
Note: If the Cisco Smart Call Home window appears, click Do not enable Smart Call Home and click
OK.
g. Click the Configuration and Monitoring buttons to become familiar with their layout and to see what

b. On the Startup Wizard Step 7 screen – Address Translation (NAT/PAT), click Use Port Address
Translation (PAT). The default is to use the IP address of the outside interface. Click Next to continue.
Note: You can also specify a particular IP address for PAT or a range of addresses with NAT.
c. On the Startup Wizard Step 8 screen – Administrative Access, HTTPS/ASDM access is currently
configured for hosts on the inside network 192.168.1.0/24. Add SSH access to the ASA for the inside
network 192.168.1.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Add SSH access to the ASA from host
172.16.3.3 on the outside network. Ensure that the Enable HTTP server for HTTPS/ASDM access
check box is selected. Click Next to continue.

Step 6: Review the summary and deliver the commands to the ASA.
a. On the Startup Wizard Step 9 screen – Auto Update Server, leave everything to the default and click Next
to continue.
a. On the Startup Wizard Step 10 – Do not enable Smart Call Home, leave everything to the default and
click Next to continue.
b. On the Startup Wizard Step 11 screen – Startup Wizard Summary, review the Configuration Summary
and click Finish. ASDM will deliver the commands to the ASA device and then reload the modified
configuration.
Note: If the GUI dialogue box stops responding during the reload process, close it, exit ASDM, and restart
the browser and ASDM. If prompted to save the configuration to flash memory, respond with Yes. Even
though ASDM may not appear to have reloaded the configuration, the commands were delivered. If there
are errors encountered as ASDM delivers the commands, you will be notified with a list of commands that
succeeded and the commands that failed.
Note: The process to restart ASDM would be different if ASDM was installed on your PC or ran from the
web browser. If it was installed, launch ASDM from the program menu. Otherwise, ASDM can be started
from the web browser.
c. Provide the new enable password cisco12345 with no username when prompted. Return to the Device
dashboard and check the Interface Status window. You should see the inside and outside interfaces with
IP address and status. The inside interface should show a number of Kb/s. The Traffic Status window
may show the ASDM access as TCP traffic spike.

Step 7: Test access to an external website from PC-B.

a. Open a browser on PC-B and enter the IP address of the R1 G0/0 interface (209.165.200.225) to
simulate access to an external website.
b. The R1 HTTP server was enabled in Part 1. You should be prompted with a user authentication login
dialog box from the R1 GUI device manger. Enter the username admin01 and the password
admin01pass. Exit the browser. You should see TCP activity in the ASDM Device dashboard Traffic
Status window on the Home page.

Step 8: Test access to an external website using the ASDM Packet Tracer utility.

will not enable the configuration.

Step 2: Configure a static default route for the ASA.

a. On the ASDM Tools menu, select Ping and enter the IP address of router R1 S0/0/0 (10.1.1.1).
b. Click Ping. The ASA does not have a default route to unknown external networks. Therefore, the pings
should fail because the ASA does not have a route to 10.1.1.1.
c. Click Close to continue.
d. From the Configuration screen > Device Setup menu, click Routing > Static Routes.
e. Click IPv4 only and click Add to add a new static route.
f. On the Add Static Route dialog box, select the outside interface from the drop-down list. Click the ellipsis
button to the right of Network, select any4 from the list of network objects, and click OK. The selection of
any4 translates to a “quad zero” route.
For the Gateway IP, enter 209.165.200.225 (R1 G0/0).
g. Click OK and then click Apply to send the commands to the ASA. z
h. On the ASDM Tools menu, select Ping and enter the IP address of router R1 S0/0/0 (10.1.1.1).
i. Click Ping. The ping should succeed this time. Click Close to continue.
j. We will now verify the routing hops to PC-C. From the ASDM Tools menu, select Traceroute.
k. Enter the IP address of external host PC-C (172.16.3.3).
l. Click Trace Route. The traceroute should succeed and show the hops from the ASA through R1, R2, and
R3 to host PC-C. Click Close to continue.

Step 3: Configure AAA user authentication using the ASA local database.
In a previous step, inside hosts and PC-C were configured SSH access to the ASA. We will now enable AAA
user authentication to access the ASA using SSH. To allow the administrator to have SSH access to the ASA,
you will add a user in the local database.
a. On the Configuration screen and select Device Management.
b. Click Users/AAA > User Accounts.

Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

c. To add a new user, click Add to open the Add User Account window
d. Create a new user named admin01 with a password of admin01pass and enter the password again to
confirm it. Allow this user Full access (ASDM, SSH, Telnet, and console) and set the privilege level to 15.
e. Click OK to add the user and return to the User Accounts window. Verify that the new entry is correct.
f. Click Apply to send the command to the ASA.
g. Next we will enable AAA access to the ASA. In the Device Management > Users/AAA > and select AAA
Access.
h. On the Authentication tab, click the check boxes to require authentication for HTTP/ASDM and SSH
connections using the LOCAL server group to authenticate against.
i. Click Apply to send the commands to the ASA.
Note: The next action you attempt within ASDM will require that you log in as admin01 with the password
admin01pass.

Step 4: Test SSH access to the ASA.

a. Open a SSH client on PC-B, such as PuTTY, and connect to the ASA inside interface at IP address
192.168.1.1.
b. When prompted to log in, enter the user name admin01 and the password admin01pass. (Note: If
prompted, accept the security warning.)
c. From PC-C, open an SSH client, such as PuTTY, and attempt to access the ASA outside interface at
209.165.200.226.
d. When prompted to log in, enter the user name admin01 and the password admin01pass.
e. After logging in to the ASA using SSH, enter the enable command and provide the password
cisco12345.
f. Issue the show run command to display the current configuration that you have created using ASDM.
Note: The idle timeout for SSH could also be modified. You can change this setting by using the CLI
logging synchronous command or go to ASDM Device Management > Management Access >
ASDM/HTTP/Telnet/SSH.

Step 5: Modify the MPF application inspection policy.

For application layer inspection, and other advanced options, the Cisco Modular Policy Framework (MPF) is
available on ASAs.
a. Verify if PC-B can ping a destination host. From PC-B, ping the external interface of R1 S0/0/0 (10.1.1.1).
The pings should fail because the ASA default global inspection policy does not inspect ICMP and
consequently, does not inside hosts ping outside hosts. To enable hosts on the internal network to ping
external hosts and receive replies, ICMP traffic must be inspected.
b. On the Configuration screen > Firewall area menu. If prompted, authenticate using the username
admin01 with the password admin01pass.
c. Click Service Policy Rules to display the current policies enabled on the ASA.
d. We need to enable ICMP; therefore, select the inspection_default policy and click Edit to modify the
default inspection rules in the Edit Service Policy Rules window.
e. Click the Rule Actions tab and select the ICMP check box. Do not change the other default protocols that
are checked.
f. Click OK and then Apply to send the commands to the ASA. If prompted, log in as admin01 with the
password admin01pass.

Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

g. From PC-B, ping the external interface of R1 S0/0/0 (10.1.1.1). The pings should be successful.

Part 5: Configure DMZ, Static NAT, and ACLs

In Part 3, you configured address translation using PAT for the inside network. In this part, you will create a
DMZ on the ASA, configure static NAT to a DMZ server, and apply an ACL to control access to the server.

Step 1: Configure the ASA DMZ on interface G1/3.

In this step, you will configure the G1/3 interface, name it dmz, set the security level to 70, and limit
communication from this interface to the inside interface G1/2.
a. From the Configuration screen, select Device Setup and click Interface Settings.
b. Click Interfaces to open the Interface window. Currently, only the inside (G1/2) and outside (G1/1)
interfaces are configured.
c. Select the GigabitEthernet1/3 interface and click Edit. (Note: You could also double-click the interface.)
d. In the Edit Interface dialog box, enter dmz as the Interface Name. Enter 70 in the Security Level field.
Select the Enable Interface checkbox. Ensure that the Use Static IP option is selected and enter an IP
address of 192.168.2.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Click OK to continue.
e. If a Security Level Change window is displayed, click OK to continue. Verify that G1/3 is enabled and
configured with the correct name, security level, and IP address.
f. Select the checkbox Enable traffic between two or more interfaces which are configured with the
same security levels. Click Apply to continue.

Step 2: Configure the DMZ server and static NAT.

To accommodate the addition of a DMZ and a web server, you will use another address from the ISP range
assigned, 209.165.200.224/29 (.224-.231). R1 G0/0 and the ASA outside interface are already using
209.165.200.225 and .226. You will use public address 209.165.200.227 and static NAT to provide address
translation access to the server.
a. On the Firewall menu, click the Public Servers option
b. Click Add to define the DMZ server and services offered.
c. In the Add Public Server dialog box, specify the Private Interface as dmz, the Public Interface as outside,
and the Public IP Address as 209.165.200.227.
d. Click the ellipsis button to the right of Private IP Address to open the Browse Private IP Address window.
e. Click Add to define the server as a Network Object.
f. Enter the name DMZ-Server, select Host from the Type pull-down menu, enter the IP Address
192.168.2.3, and a Description of PC-A. Click OK to continue.
g. From the Browse Private IP Address window, click Network Objects to expand it. Verify that the DMZ-
Server appears in the Selected Private IP Address field.
h. Double-click the DMZ-Server to add it to the DMZ-Server field.
i. Click OK. You will return to the Add Public Server dialog box.
j. In the Add Public Server dialog, click the ellipsis button to the right of Private Service.

Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

k. In the Browse Private Service window, you will double-click various services to select them and add them
to the Public Service field. Double-click the following services: tcp/ftp, tcp/http, icmp/echo, and
icmp/echo-reply (Note: scroll down to see all services).

l. Click OK to continue and return to the Add Public Server dialog.

Note: You can specify Public services if they are different from the Private services, using the option on
this screen.

© 2015 - 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 14 of 26 www.netacad.com
Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

m. When you have completed all the information in the Add Public Server dialog box, it should look like the
one shown below.

n. Click OK to continue and then Apply to commit the changes.

Step 3: View the DMZ Access Rule generated by ASDM.

After the creation of the DMZ server object and selection of services, ASDM automatically generates an
Access Rule (ACL) to permit the appropriate access to the server and applies it to the outside interface in the
incoming direction.
View this ACL in ASDM by clicking Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules. It appears as an outside
incoming rule. You can select the rule and use the horizontal scroll bar to see all of the components.
Note: You can also see the commands generated by using the Tools > Command Line Interface and
entering the show run command.

Step 4: Test access to the DMZ server from the outside network.
a. From PC-C, ping the IP address of the static NAT public server address (209.165.200.227). The pings
should be successful.
b. Ping the DMZ server (PC-A) internal IP address 192.168.2.3 from inside network host PC-B. The pings
should be successful. This is because the ASA inside interface G1/2 is set to security level 100 (the
highest) and the DMZ interface G1/3 is set to 70.
c. Try to ping from the DMZ server PC-A to PC-B at the IP address 192.168.1.3. The pings should not be
successful. The reason the DMZ server cannot ping PC-B on the inside network is because the DMZ
interface G1/3 has a lower security level than the inside interface.

Step 5: Use ASDM Monitoring to graph packet activity.

There are a number of aspects of the ASA that can be monitored using the Monitoring screen. The main
categories on this screen are Interfaces, VPN, Routing, Properties, and Logging. In this step, you will
create a graph to monitor packet activity for the outside interface.
a. On the Monitoring screen > Interfaces menu, click Interface Graphs > outside.
b. Select Packet Counts and click Add to add the graph. The exhibit below shows Packet Counts added.

© 2015 - 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 15 of 26 www.netacad.com
Lab - Configure ASA 5506-X Basic Settings and Firewall Using ASDM

c. Click Show Graphs to display the graph. Initially, there is no traffic displayed.
d. From a privileged mode command prompt on R2, simulate Internet traffic to the ASA by pinging the DMZ
server’s public address with a repeat count of 1000. You can increase the number of pings if desired.
R2# ping 209.165.200.227 repeat 1000

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 1000, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.165.200.227, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<output omitted>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (1000/1000), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/12 ms

e. You should see the results of the pings from R2 on the graph as an Input Packet Count. The scale of the
graph is automatically adjusted depending on the volume of traffic. You can also view the data in tabular
form by clicking the Table tab. Notice that the View selected at the bottom left of the Graph screen is
Real-time, data every 10 seconds. Click the pull-down list to see the other available options.
f. Ping from PC-B to R1 S0/0/0 at 10.1.1.1 using the –n option (number of packets) to specify 100 packets.
C:>\ ping 10.1.1.1 –n 100
Note: The response from the PC is relatively slow, and it may take a while to show up on the graph as
Output Packet Count.

In some cases, the CLI can provide more precise control over the desired configuration. Also, some CLI
commands are necessary to prepare the ASA for GUI access. CLI requires only a serial console connection,
whereas ASDM requires Layer 3 (IP) connectivity to an ASA interface.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
