Summary

Expanding on the preceding section, this section covered (on a simple network) addressing interfaces, configuring NAT for outbound access, and enabling a static translation to an internal web server. You also learned how to create an access rule to enable inbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the web server using an object group rather than individual ACL entries.

The section then covered advanced topics such as the MPF, application inspection policies, and threat detection.

The next section looks at integrating the ASA into your network and covers routing, switching, and operating the firewall in transparent mode.
