Testing Your Configuration
This section describes how to test connectivity for the single mode ASA or for each security context,
how to ping the ASA interfaces, and how to allow hosts on one interface to ping through to hosts on
another interface.
We recommend that you only enable pinging and debugging messages during troubleshooting. When
you are done testing the ASA, follow the steps in the “Disabling the Test Configuration” section on
page 1-6.
