Testing Your Configuration
Pinging ASA Interfaces
To test whether the ASA interfaces are up and running and that the ASA and connected routers are
operating correctly, you can ping the ASA interfaces.
To ping the ASA interfaces, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Draw a diagram of your single-mode ASA or security context that shows the interface names, security
levels, and IP addresses.
Note
Although this procedure uses IP addresses, the
ping
command also supports DNS names and
names that are assigned to a local IP address with the
name
command.
The diagram should also include any directly connected routers and a host on the other side of the router
from which you will ping the ASA. You will use this information in this procedure and in the procedure
in the
“Passing Traffic Through the ASA” section on page 1-5
. (See
.)

Step 2
Ping each ASA interface from the
directly connected
routers. For transparent mode, ping the
management IP address. This test ensures that the ASA interfaces are active and that the interface
configuration is correct.
A ping might fail if the ASA interface is not active, the interface configuration is incorrect, or if a switch
between the ASA and a router is down (see
). In this case, no debugging messages or syslog
messages appear, because the packet never reaches the ASA.
