In this chapter, you will learn about:
Basic PIX Firewall configuration
ICMP traffic to the firewall
Time setting and NTP support
Syslog configuration
DHCP server configuration
This chapter covers a variety of basic PIX Firewall configuration commands and processes, which are important for you to know if you want to get the most out of a firewall device. The first section reviews and builds on the basic PIX configuration from the preceding chapter. The fourth section includes an exercise demonstrating how to set up and use a simple Syslog server.
Note? |
Some topics covered refer to or use features that have not been covered yet in detail. In this chapter, you will run into Firewall access control lists in several places. I am including them here for complete coverage on the topic. Due to their similarity to ACLs on routers, I am assuming that you will see what the ACLs are doing. If not, they are covered in detail in the next chapter. |
