(Optional) Making Internal Services Accessible from the Internet (ASDM 6.2 and Later)

As a business owner, you might have internal network services, such as a web or

FTP server, that need to be available to an outside user. You can place these

services on a separate network behind the ASA, called a demilitarized zone

(DMZ). The ASA allows you to restrict access to the DMZ and only includes

public servers. By placing public servers on the DMZ, any attacks launched

against your public servers do not affect the Inside network.

The Public Server pane (available for ASDM 6.2 and later) displays a list of

public servers, internal and external addresses, the interfaces that the internal or

external addresses apply to, and the service that is exposed.

To set up public server access, perform the following steps:

In the main ASDM window, choose Configuration > Firewall > Public Servers.

The Public Server pane appears.

Click Add, then enter the public server settings in the Public Server dialog box.

(For information about any field, click Help.)

Click OK. The server appears in the list.
