New to Cisco/Pix/Firewall config... The requirements I must meet state:<br />
1.The firewall shall reject requests for access or services where the source address received by the firewall specifies a loopback address.<br />
<br />
Do I create an object that represents a loopback address and deny it access?<br />
<br />
2. Firewall must reject SMTP RCPT<br />
The firewall shall reject traffic that contains source routing symbols (e.g. in the mailer RCPT commands.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have access to the ASDM and the command line.<br />
I have not the faintest idea how to go about meeting these requirements.<br />
I have googled both of these and come up empty.<br />
Thank you<br />

Pix 515E: Firewall Must Block Loopback address , reject SMTP RCPT

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
