CISCO ASA 5505

[Miceros]

Ok guys, I can't believe I'm having I can't figure this out. I have a SMC router (SMC8014-BIZ) from my ISP (comcast) and I just bought a CISCO ASA 5505 and I'm trying to set it up as my gateway for my network. The SMC router is configure with static IP information from my ISP but I want to setup the cisto behing the SMC so that it can act as firewall and router. Right now, SMC is my gateway but I want the ASA to be my gateway which will rely on SMC to connect to the internet. The SMC router has 4 port ethernet ports in the back and I'm trying to replicate the SMC static IP configuration on my ASA 5505. When I configured the ASA with the static ip from my SMC, my client can't access the internet but when I turn on DHCP for the LAN on my SMC and turn on DHCP on my outside interface on the ASA my client can access the internet. Is there a better way to configure the ASA 5505 so that I don't have to turn on DHCP on the SMC as well as the ASA outside interface?

thanks for helping me figuring this out.

Yes,

Statically assign vlan2 (outside) a 10.1.10.x address. Get into the SMC and set the address you statically assigned to the outside interface of your ASA as the DMZ host.

What I ended up doing was getting a extra static IP address from my ISP and use it on the Cisco Router. Now the Cisco router is on the same subnet as my ISP Router and it uses my ISP router as gateway.

Thanks for the reply.
