Network Configuration Builders

Greetings All,

Attached is a Config Builder to make the ASA into a content filter.  Granted, this a very brute force way to be a content filter and should be used with extreme care, but none the less it works and works great.

This was built using ASA 8.04, but should work on any version of ASA or Pix running 7.x or higher.

Here is a Secure switch config withe DAI, DHCP Snooping, Port Security, ACL’s etc….

This config is based of a Cisco 2960 running c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-50.SE3.

There is an issue with DAI…you need to add the following commands…

ip arp inspection vlan 25

ip arp inspection vlan 25 logging dhcp-bindings permit

ip arp inspection validate src-mac

Greetings All

Over the past 10 years having worked with various Cisco devices I have often found myself doing the same configuration many times.  So a few years back I started making Excel Spreadsheets I called “Config Builders”.  As I use many open source software solutions and other items, I figured it was about time to start giving back.  So each week I am going to post a Config Builder template.

Each “Config Builder” will be very simliar to ones I use for work, but not exactly.  However these “Config Builders” should be enough to help any engineer out there, do his/her job a little faster and with less likely room for error.  Please keep in mind, there is no warranty, and the “Config Builder” is NOT built for a novice or your mother (Unless she is a CCNP, CCIP, CCSP or CCIE).  If you don’t know what commands do, then be very careful about what you  put into them.  Also, please always test each config in something like GNS3, Dynamips or an actual router/switch/firewall, etc.

These tools may be a great place to start with in learning some deaper configuration methods, but are not primary learning tools.  Please feel free to comment and contribute with your excel skills or Cisco skills.
