How to setup a basic firewall using ASA?
I was tasked to setup a basic firewall on Cisco ASA 5506. A basic firewall that connects to the router, 2 interfaces - 1 ext and 1 int, and with the NAT function. BTW, how to start to set it up after taking it out from the box. Please show step-by-step.
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,
A basic firewall with NAT will do. If i am not wrong, using console with commands is able will do. I personally know how to setup firewall, such as, fortigate, juniper, sonicwall.
However, i set them up in gui, and i am very poor in commands. Appreciate for any help.
