ASA 1

ASA1 is the responsible of analysing and filtering all the connections originated in Internet which want to reach the CNOC. At the same time it creates an IPsec VPN (layer 3) connections to all ASA-Africa devices in order to provide communication between CNOC and end-users, CPEs and BSs sitting behind ASA-Africa device. All the traffic to Internet generated by end-users behind ASA2 will go through it. At the same time, it will prevent any connection to the Internet generated by the CNOC, the Application Server and other equipment like BSs or CPEs. The next Figure shows how it will be connected.


ASA 1 Connection


Initial setup

ASA 1 came with cnocasa configuration. These are the steps we followed to save the configuration:

cnocasa(config)#copy startup-config disk0:
Destination filename [startup-config]?cnocasa_startup-config_20140524
cnocasa(config)#copy running-config disk0:
Destination filename [startup-config]?cnocasa_running-config_20140524
cnocasa#write erase
Erase configuration in flash memory? [confirm]
cnocasa#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

After saving the configuration and recoverying its initial state, ASA starts with the oldest image it finds in disk0. In this case the ASA software version 8.2(5) and ASDM version 6.4(5). If there is any newer software version is convenient to change it. Unfortunately there is no any newer software version in disk0 and we do not have a Cisco account to download it.

Discussion

Virus interface should be at the ASA-Africa which is in Congo. The challenge then is that every satellite ground station needs an own ASA.
