Question

Cisco ASA 5200 and ISA 2k4

Asked by: Llarissa21

Hello. Recently I have decided to purchase and add a Cisco ASA 5200 to our existing network which currently only exists of ISA 2k4 serving as both a firewall and web proxy. I am wanting to keep the ISA but have it only serve as a proxy (I have BT Webfilter installed on the ISA box) so I am definately wanting to keep the filtering product in place.  I have already started configuring the ASA firewall and will post the configuration below. Also, right now we have a flat network with no dmz for web servers, etc. I am wanting to incorporate and configure an interface on the new firewall for a DMZ to incluse 3-4 web servers as well as a couple of other Terminal servers accessible by the outside world through RDP. Right now our T1 terminates to a cisco 1720 series router. All internal hosts gateway point to the router address of 172.16.0.5. The router is configured to route all traffic to the ISA box 172.16.0.19.  Also if the config copied below looks horribly bad please don't hesitate to let me know what needs to be changed :)

Questions:

1.)  What is the most efficiant and easiest way to incorporate the new firewall while keeping the ISA box in place? What will I need to change on ISA to make it no longer serve as a firewall but only as a proxy & filtering.  Is there a wizard to change from a edge firewall to a back end? Will I just leave the clients gateway pointing to .5 (router) and then just change the internal interface of the cisco asa firewall to the old internal ip of the ISA box.. Right now we have a route command on the router (ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.19) that routes all traffic to the isa box. So that is why I was thinking maybe just change the internal interfae of the cisco firewall to .19.

2.) Configuring DMZ --> Does anyone have a sample config that incorporates a DMZ so that I can see how the access-lists, and interface are set up?

3.) OWA/ActiveSync --> I have created my static entry and access-list for https. Does anything else need to be configured or added in order for OWA/ActiveSync to work properly? I am a bit confused because currently we have all the certs needed for OWA/ActiveSync residing on our ISA box itself. Where will the certs need to be now that the ISA box will not be serving as a firewall?

Here is my configuration on the ASA box thus far.
