Chapter 25 Configuring the ASA for Cisco Cloud Web Security

Configuring Cisco Cloud Web Security

Note You must configure a route pointing to the Scansafe towers in both; the admin context and the specific context. This ensures that the Scansafe tower does not become unreachable in the Active/Active failover scenario.

The following sample configuration enables Cloud Web Security in context one with the default license and in context two with the license key override:

!System Context

scansafe general-options

server primary ip 180.24.0.62 port 8080 retry-count 5

license 366C1D3F5CE67D33D3E9ACEC265261E5

context one

allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1 allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/1.1 allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/3.1 scansafe

config-url disk0:/one_ctx.cfg

context two

allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/0.2 allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/1.2 allocate-interface GigabitEthernet0/3.2 scansafe license 366C1D3F5CE67D33D3E9ACEC26789534 config-url disk0:/two_ctx.cfg

Configuring a Service Policy to Send Traffic to Cloud Web Security

See Chapter 1, “Configuring a Service Policy Using the Modular Policy Framework,” for more information about service policy rules.

Prerequisites

(Optional) If you need to use a whitelist to exempt some traffic from being sent to Cloud Web Security, first create the whitelist according to the “(Optional) Configuring Whitelisted Traffic” section on page 25-15so you can refer to the whitelist in your service policy rule.
