Translation (NAT), and SIP Application Layer Gateway (SIP-ALG) for your

documentation or online Help for the Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA).
Scenario 6: Firewall for Controlling Inbound and Outbound
Traffic
By default, all outbound traffic is allowed and all inbound traffic is denied. If you
want to deny some outbound traffic or allow some inbound traffic, you will need to
configure a firewall rule. To prevent unwanted traffic from the Internet, and to
ensure that your employees are using the Internet for approved business
purposes, you can configure various levels of firewall rules. You can configure
rules that apply to a specified IP address, a range of IP addresses, or to everyone
globally.
Consider the following examples of firewall rules:
• Block outbound traffic to certain websites
• Restrict Internet access for certain users
• Allow inbound traffic to your DMZ
• Configure advanced NAT routing
For these scenarios and all situations in which you need an exception from the
default firewall policy, you need to configure firewall rules.
The default WAN and LAN settings might be sufficient for your deployment, but
consider the steps outlined in
Internet Access, page
Configuration tasks for this scenario:
To start configuring your firewall rules, use the Firewall and NAT Rules links on the
Getting Started (Advanced) page. For more information, see
