When you enable logging on a global access rule on a cisco ASA firewall, you should see all traffic that is matching the rule in the logs, or are there any limitations? (for example, for blocked/allowed traffic or for traffic destined to the firewall itself)<br />
<br />
I Added a test rule (rule 1 in rule base) on our ASA and I Telnet to a random destination port to the IP address of the firewall's interface, but I cannot see tha traffic in logs. I Also tried to filter the logs using the rule ID, but I dont see anything. However, I can see the packets when I do a packet capture. am I missing something? <br />
<br />
thanks,

Logging allowed/blocked traffic on Cisco ASA Firewall

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).

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

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.
