HI MY NAME IS SHE HAVE FROM EACH Epix.
Welcome you all.
This is Cisco firewalls.
Course in this with you we will cover the topic of accessing the Cisco ACE a configurations by the end
of this video.
You will be able to understand what are the methods to access that Cisco is a configurations.
So let's start OK.
So here you go in this speaker we have here the Cisco firewall they say between the Internet and an
Internet network and a third interface connected to station APC or a set of it or whatever.
OK we will explain what is this station used for.
OK.
So how to access the firewall in order to configure it.
We have actually three ways to access this firewall we can access it through a console port locally
can support mainly is a cable you connect from a computer to the console port on that firewall is a
the second method is either locally or remotely through telnet or as a message.
So mainly you can tell it to the IP address of this interface either from your inside network or even
remotely from a remote station you can use telnet or as as etch the difference between telnet and has
edge is the net is actually the traffic between the station you tell anything from and the firewall
is not encrypted.
However that as Etch works the same way.
But the traffic is encrypted so as as Etch which is actually called secure shell it's a short prosecution
is actually safer than the it okay.
Because the traffic is encrypted the third missed method which will cover in the next slide in brief
is actually through a graphical user interface through a software called a SDM which is the sort of
adaptive security device manager.
It's a software from Cisco that you can access actually the firewall and configure it through it.
The software is installed on the station and you access the firewall to configure it through the software.
So the first two methods are considered a single eye which is command line interface configuration.
You configure the firewall through typing a comment.
The third method is a graphical user interface or as you eye.
It's actually like like a wizard.
You configure the firewall through it.
We will see in the next slide how it looks like.
It's very easy software to use and it's very actually practical and convenient OK so here is this note
then it has to be enabled on the firewall in order to build it to it the is a firewall by default is
actually capable of receiving the net traffic.
So then it is enabled by default.
OK and by default also it can support up to five concurrent telnet sessions or sessions.
OK so five users or five stations can a net or S S S to the firewall at the same time.
This is the default configuration which comes with any new is a appliance the station that we configure
or we connect to the S A from it's called a management station and this interface is called a management
interface.
OK so here you go we access the AC appliance through an interface called management interface.
Of course it takes an IP address and you're just telling it to these IP address from this station.
All right.
Let's move to the next slide
here you go.
This is actually an example of how that is the end looks like how the graphical user interface looks
like so again this can be configured through CLIA or UI using de as the M and the details of how exactly
you configured the firewall through that is the m.
It's not actually part of this particular course.
It's covered in a separate video series.
Here we will only cover an overview.
All right so here you go.
This is how that is the end looks like.
As you can see it's a graphical user interface.
Some tabs here for configuration monitoring here you can configure that device information here it shows
you some monitoring information like the CPE usage the memory usage traffic what traffic is actually
passing through the firewall.
It's very convenient and easy.
What are the status of the interfaces for example the inside interface.
What IP has is it up or down.
Everything is on a graphical actually basis.
You don't have to remember any commands you just open this interface and type whatever you want in the
configuration click save and that's it OK here you go.
As I said you connect to the firewall via.
Is the M through typing the IP address of the management interface through H2 G.P.S. which means it's
accessible through your web browser.
So just open your web browser type the IP address of the management interface that we saw in the previous
slide.
You connect to the firewall and you see this interface.
OK let's move on again another figure shows the AC appliance.
There are many many options here.
You can configure anything using this interface.
The FCP the s you can see the license of this is a everything you just type the configuration you want
and click.
OK how are you good.
This is the software.
Here is the link from Cisco Web site.
I included it.
However there is the M actually is not free to download.
You need actually a service contract OK.
Why do we need the firewall that has the to configure the firewall.
Actually because it has setup wizard.
That's very easy to use real time monitoring and actually you're gonna have to remember any commands
that's all for these video in the next video.
We will discuss some basic a is a configuration examples and we will see how to configure that is a
firewall using the seal eye which is the command line interface thank you for watching and see you in
the next video.
