First thing this morning we went over the hardware configuration options and difference between the various models of the ASA framework. There was also a comparison to the previous PIX versions of the firewall.
After all of that summary we jumped in head first into basic configurations for the firewall. We worked on setting up host name, network addressing, and naming the interfaces to isolate the different portions of the network.
Learned a lot today about the basic functionality of a Cisco firewall. As well as the configuration options for it. There are a lot of little line items that require a configuration in order for the device to work.
This being my first configuration exposure to a piece of Cisco equipment I spent a lot of my time having to fight the command line in order to get anything done. I was getting more comfortable as the day went on, but I still seem to be having trouble with the basics. I'm going to have to see how things go tomorrow.
