Turn On Pings To External Interface

Hello,
I have a Cisco ASA FPR-2110.  I am running ASA code and I'm using ASDM.
I have Pings blocked so external sources can't ping my WAN interface.

How do I, through ASDM, allow pings only to a certain set of public IP's?

If you disable ICMP to an interface on the ASA doesn't mean you can't ping those IP addresses, it just means that the ASA interface won't respond. If you're using a rule to do this and not the ICMP management console, then you would just need to modify to point to those IP addresses.
Otherwise, you will create rule in the ASDM on the outside interface to permit any to those IP's using the ICMP protocol.
We'll first you need to allow the pings from a host or network then DO THE DENY at the END like this
icmp permit host 123.123.123.123 outside
icmp deny any outside

Open in new window

If you need to add one, then remove the deny, add the new ip/range, then add the deny again....
no icmp deny any outside
icmp permit 123.123.123.0 255.255.255.0 outside
icmp deny any outside

Open in new window

How do you know if you got it right?

use the following command
show run | incl icmp

Open in new window

And make sure the permits are BEFORE the denies
