To permit incoming traffic to access the DMZ web server, the security appliance
configuration includes the following:
•
An address translation rule translating the public IP address of the DMZ web
server to the private IP address of the DMZ web server.
•
An access control rule permitting incoming HTTP traffic that is destined for
the DMZ web server.
The procedures for creating this configuration are detailed in the remainder of this
chapter.
This section describes how to use ASDM to configure the security appliance for
the configuration scenario shown in
parameters based on the scenario.
