Review of Your Current Network Topology

In Chapter 5, you used the ASDM Startup Wizard to securely connect a private network to the Internet. This topology allowed users to browse the Internet. As well, it did not allow any connectivity sourced from the Internet to the inside of the private network.

In this chapter, you build on that topology by adding a web or mail server to that private network.

First, take a look at Figure 6-1 for a quick review of the network you created in Chapter 5.

Figure 6-1. Basic Network-to-Internet Topology

This figure shows the ASA/PIX Security Appliance relative to both the Internet and the private inside network of your topology. It includes current IP addressing. Table 6-1 shows the full addressing scheme and network elements configured in Chapter 5.
