16-days and I'm getting jittery.

Yes- I’m now sweating a little bit.  16 days….I’m so gonna bomb!  There is so much that I still feel like I need to learn or even re-learn.

So far this week I have gone over:

  • Rip authentication
  • OSPF authentication
  • Redistribution, Summarization, and Route Filtering
  • ACLs
  • Object Groups
  • Managing ICMP
  • NAT/PAT both static and dynamic
  • SSH, Telnet, and HTTP access
  • DNS Doctoring
  • Advanced Firewall Topics such as contexts, failover, arp inspection and transparent firewalls.
  • DHCP Server Config
  • Multicast with ASA/PIX
  • MPF and advanced Inspecition

Now its on to VPN.  The scary part is that the VPN section is from page 153 to 669.  Ugh! On another note the material that I am working on this week comes from Internetwork Expert.  This Volume 1 is a beast of a book and is packed with a ton of mini-labs.  I am really enjoying it!

Static Policy Pat

I had to blog this out mostly because its one of those things that I have done before but said to myself, “Huh?” when I came across it again.

So here is the short form:

I want to policy Static PAT so that when 10.2.2.2 telnets to the interface of the ASA it is redirected to 10.1.1.2.

You begin with the access-list:

access-list TELNET permit tcp host 10.1.1.2 eq 23 host 10.2.2.2
Initially thats what gets my mind spinning becuase its not the access-list to permit the traffic its the access-list to define the mapping for the static.  Here is the rest.

Define the static and tie it to the ACL:

static (i,o) tcp interface 23 access-list TELNET
Allow telnet in:
access-list OUTSIDE_IN permit tcp any any eq 23

access-group OUTSIDE_IN in int outside

That does it.  Strange huh?  Oh well! It works.
