I've been thrown into a bad situation here. Left with a Cisco 870 Series firewall to manage and no idea bout anything Cisco. Is there a web GUI or some app I can find that will let me manage these things without all the command knowledge. I just need to be able to manipulate some ports and view what's open and what's not for service control.

Thanks
 
found the SDM software and got it downloaded, but can't connect to the 870 itself. I assume it's because HTTP is probably disabled on it, but I found instructions to enable that and now can't get logged in until I contact a higher-up for the login/pass. Thanks for the help
 
FYI, that device is not a PIX, it's an 800 series ISR (Integrated Services Router).

In order to load up the SDM software using the installer (from a PC) you will need the following...

username admin privilege 15 password 7 XXXXXXXXXXXX

ip http server
ip http authentication local
ip http secure-server
ip http path flash:

line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 40 0
privilege level 15
login local
transport input telnet ssh

This is obviously just an example so make changes as necessary for your particular situation...
 
i got the username/pass and everything so I got logged in with Cisco SDM. now I'm confused as to where I need to be in the interface. I'm looking at the Firewall/ACL rules for where I can open a single port, and I think I've gotten that much.

What I'm trying to do is allow RealTime Streaming Protocol (RTSP) as we've got some sites that are having trouble opening these streams and playing them. (File not found errors.) When I try to open the file outside of the firewall, it's perfectly fine. I'm not sure how I can allow this service, even though I do see it listed under Multimedia. If anyone has any suggestions on this, I'd be all ears.

Thanks.
 
How is the 870 currently configured? You may not want to just explicitly open the port all the time, but rather configure an inspect for it so that its only opened when needed. To do the firewall configurations in SDM you go to the Configure menu at the top of the screen. Then click firewall on the left hand side.

Personally I prefer to do everything via the command line. I have an 871 here at the house that handles the home network.
 
I've gotten to the firewall configuration bit like I need, but how do I create an inspect or open the port range? I would prefer an inspect, but I need to be able to use Real Time Streaming Protocol on port 554 (TCP and UDP) and port 8554 (TCP and UDP). right now it's not working at all, and this is a daily use protocol that we MUST have.

I cannot use the command line. I don't know the commands, I'm leaving in a few months and the one taking my place would prefer to not mess with commands either. GUI is just simpler.
