[fw-wiz] New to Cisco PIX/ ASA

["Keith A. Glass" <salgak@speakeasy.net>]

I’ve managed Gauntlets, Checkpoints, Netscreens, and SonicWalls in the past.

 

I’m a bit confused with the in and outs of the ASA firewalls.

 

I’m setting up at HA pair, my Eth0/0 is my interior interface, trust level 100, Eth 0/1 and 0/2 are my IP and State heatbeats, and Eth 1/0 is my external interface, trust level 1.

 

Am I correct in my understanding that if I want two-way traffic, traffic is not blocked to a lower trust level, so I need only write a rule to pass the traffic between the endpoints from the external interface to the internal interface, and the reply traffic is taken care of ??  Or do I have to write a reverse rule, from the internal interface to the external as well ???
