Allow For Ping in Cisco ASA

One of my friend asked me that he is not able to ping from his Cisco ASA device. If you also have the same issue, then here is how to enable ping in your ASA device. 

The first thing you need to do is to define your outside interface and give it an ip address. for the sake of this lesson I use GNS3. I use the interface gig0 as an outside interface as shown below:

ciscoasa# show inter ip brief

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

GigabitEthernet0           10.10.10.1      YES manual up                    up

GigabitEthernet1           unassigned      YES unset  administratively down up

GigabitEthernet2           unassigned      YES unset  administratively down up

GigabitEthernet3           unassigned      YES unset  administratively down up

GigabitEthernet4           unassigned      YES unset  administratively down up

GigabitEthernet5           unassigned      YES unset  administratively down up

The command you will need to use is 

     ciscoasa(config)# icmp permit any outside

Where  icmp is the protocol and outside is the name of the interface the we need to enable it to ping 

That's all for today! Thanks and have a nice one
