Keith u r the best trainer in networking!!! I Cant control on my laugh when you said inspect means just stamp !!! one day i will definitely meet u. Thanks Sir for all videos.
I am speechless for how fast clearly and easy this is to understand the way you teach. I am in school doing zone based firewall in the way you teach it is so easy to comprehend. Thank you for taking the time to break down the steps.
Similar end results between (CBAC and ZBF) for basic stuff, but ZBF adds more capabilities such as URL filtering, regular expressions and stuff like that.
This is a very good training video! Good job! One suggestion on zone based firewalls: I have many customers with multiple inside and outside interfaces and different policies for each one. I like to set up my zones with numbers such as inside1, inside2, outside1, outside2, dmz1, dmz2 etc.
There are 3 lists present, 10, 20 and 30. If you want to add an entry to access list 10, the method have would be appropriate. To recompile the ACL on the older PIX, I believe the command is: access-list compiled, (or it may automatically do it if the compiled feature is already enabled).
Hi Praveen- Great question. If we want to allow initial traffic from the outside (where a user on the outside initiates the connection/session) we would need an zone-pair from outside to inside to allow and inspect that traffic. Best wishes, Keith Barker
Hi Keith! Great videos, I think I've watched most of what you posted. I just wanted to add that you might want to mention that without making a zone pair regarding the OUTSIDE to self that the router (R2 in this case) can still be reached by the evil internet invaders!
Hi keith, Just a small query do we need to create zone pair(outside-inside),if we want to inspect traffic from outside to inside in the above video example?
Great Video! Keith, just want to have a little query here. Do zone-based firewall concept is the same with or can be achieved using CBAC and IP Inspect rule? What makes ZFW different from the other(cbac and ip inspect)?
Hi Keith, Video is really great as I refused to learn zone-based FW but I need to now as I'm starting my R&S again. Anyway, just a quick question, what if I'm doing NAT/PAT and there are servers inside the inside network that was translated to a public IP, should that be assigned in the ACL (used in class-map) or would a regular inbound ACL on the outside interface do the trick? Sorry for asking as I'm still preparing my lab gears. Thanks again. :)
thanks for your videos , when I config it on Router 1751 with DSL connection , the internet still working , but very very slow and some site not responding
Hi keith ! May be i have one last question in this video jejejeje i went throgh your videos that explains the ACL , CBAC , ZONE BASED FIREWALL the configuration and the implementation now is very clear. what was the limitation in ACL which makes Cisco introduce CBAC? Then ZBF came to overcome the limitation in CBAC what is the limitation in CBAC? Actually i tried alot to find out the reason before posting my question .even i went through the Cisco documentation and i found only one line about that and was not clear. thanks again for your great support cheers
Well.. It is simply the policy map. Bcuz unlike CBAC where you have to create your inspect statement explicitly for every zone, ZBF uses class map and leverages policy map to reduce the hard work of recreating too many class maps by simply applying the class maps to the policy map. Service policy only finishes the job and that makes ZBF somewhat more modular than CBAC. So it is a kinda implicitly deny everything that is not explicitly permitted in a simpler fashion. Best of luck in your study
Dear Keith6783 what kind of IOS image do i need to implement a class map type inspect. Look at this: R7#show ver | include Version Cisco IOS Software, 2600 Software (C2691-ENTSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(13b), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3) ROM: 2600 Software (C2691-ENTSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(13b), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3) R7# R7(config)#class-map ? WORD class-map name match-all Logical-AND all matching statements under this classmap match-any Logical-OR all matching No type !!
Hi Keith , other question regarding the topic ACL are processed in TOP DOWN process , so the order is very important Q1: is it the same in ZBF, (i am a bit confused about it )? Q2: Does the ZBF eliminate the problem of Rule Shadowing
Hello Marwan- The first match is how the traffic will be classified. For example if TCP and FTP are both part of a ZBF configuration, and TCP is first in the matches (via class maps) the FTP traffic would be classified as just TCP and handled that way without the advanced inspection available for FTP. So for that reason, order does matter. Here is some additional documentation. www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_data_zbf/configuration/15-mt/sec-data-zbf-15-mt-book/sec-zone-pol-fw.html Cheers, Keith
Keith! can please help me, i've one issue using ZBF... i've running a remote vpn on my 2801 after configure ZBF my vpn client can connect but no traffic at all. can you please help me?
He Keith thanks alot for sharing, its really a great video Q: 1- what is the difference between CBAC and Zone based firewall? 2- in which year Zone based firewall was released ? 3- does the zone based firewall is only a specific feature for cisco ?
Hello Marwan- CBAC is the older implementation of stateful firewall on the IOS router. ZBF is the newer method. You can use the Feature Navigator at Cisco.com/go/fn to identify when features where first introduced. Zone Based Firewall is a specific feature for Cisco IOS routers, but the concept and technology of zones and stateful filtering have been around for decades, and are implemented by most vendors who provide stateful firewall services in their products including Unified Threat Management (UTM) devices.

A great video. A very concise and to the point discussion without any jabbering. Heartfelt thanks :)
very nice, quick and informative Keith. I understand it much better now than just reading my netacad materials.
Thanks Keith...
U have skills to put complex concept in very very simple manner.
U r the man.
You are very welcome. I appreciate you taking time to let me know.
Best wishes,
Keith Barker
Working on my CCNA: Security... this helps a million. Thanks Keith!
Great video Keith , couldn't understand anything reading the CCNA security materials , You inspire many people to learn networking :) cheers :)
Very nice, Keith. As I watched this, I realized I was watching the early beginnings of the PIX/ASA platforms. :-)
Similar end results between (CBAC and ZBF) for basic stuff, but ZBF adds more capabilities such as URL filtering, regular expressions and stuff like that.
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it.

Keith Barker - Thanks for doing it in a such a nice & clear way! Only you can do that

10 years! Still relevant. Well spent 10 minutes.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL explanation presentation ! Thank You!
This cleared my fear of ZBF.
Great Video..You Rock.
Thanks for the explanation and demo Keith!
Happy to do it, thanks for the feedback @dnoden.
keith, prior to watching this video i was fearing zbf, not anymore. thanks mate!
Good video..very useful and well presented
very good Keith.
Hi Keith!

Glad you get it! Thanks for the feedback.
Keith
Thank you very much............ u did excellent well that i had to comment
Thank you so much Keith! Perfect explanation!
Thanx a million times Keith your'e the best !!!!!
Hi keith,
Just a small query do we need to create zone pair(outside-inside),if we want to inspect traffic from outside to inside in the above video example?
Great idea. Thanks!
Keith
Really good explanation, thank you
Of Course!
thanks keith. i have tried it as well and it worked. :)
Great Video! Keith, just want to have a little query here. Do zone-based firewall concept is the same with or can be achieved using CBAC and IP Inspect rule? What makes ZFW different from the other(cbac and ip inspect)?
one question, what Cisco IOS did you used in the cisco 2801 in the order to permit the ZBF command?
Hi Keith,
Video is really great as I refused to learn zone-based FW but I need to now as I'm starting my R&S again. Anyway, just a quick question, what if I'm doing NAT/PAT and there are servers inside the inside network that was translated to a public IP, should that be assigned in the ACL (used in class-map) or would a regular inbound ACL on the outside interface do the trick? Sorry for asking as I'm still preparing my lab gears. Thanks again. :)
great video.. well explained
The class map should refer to the pre-nat address.
Keith
One more question, is this config supposed to go on "all routers" or just R2?
Thank you very much. This is very useful.
very well explained!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for your videos , when I config it on Router 1751 with DSL connection , the internet still working , but very very slow and some site not responding

thanks alot for your fast replay , so kind from you
ok, now its very clear

and what about nat ?
Great Help, Thank you.
The same could be accomplished without ACLs, by using class-default.
