Scenario 1: Private Network with External
Connectivity
A basic deployment that is typical for a small private network is shown in
Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Private (Inside) Network with External Connectivity
In this example, the adaptive security appliance enables all devices on the private
network to communicate with each other and enables users on the private network
to communicate with devices on the Internet.
Note This deployment is similar to the security deployments using the PIX 501. If you
already have a security deployment with PIX 501 security appliances in which
devices behind the firewall can communicate internally and externally, you can
keep the same deployment and replace the PIX 501 devices with ASA 5505
devices.
