Chapter 25 Configuring the ASA for Cisco Cloud Web Security

Configuring Cisco Cloud Web Security

 

Command

Purpose

Step 10

 

 

match access-list acl1

Specifies an ACL created in Step 8.

 

 

Although you can use other match statements for this rule, we

 

Example:

recommend using the match access-listcommand because it is

 

ciscoasa(config-cmap)# match access-list

the most versatile for identifying HTTP or HTTPS-only traffic.

 

SCANSAFE_HTTP

See the “Identifying Traffic (Layer 3/4 Class Maps)” section on

 

 

page 1-12for more information.

Step 11

 

 

class-map name2

(Optional) Creates an additional class map, for example for

 

match access-list acl2

HTTPS traffic. You can create as many classes as needed for this

 

 

service policy rule.

 

Example:

 

 

ciscoasa(config)# class-map cws_class2

 

 

ciscoasa(config-cmap)# match access-list

 

 

SCANSAFE_HTTPS

 

Step 12

 

 

policy-map name

Adds or edits a policy map that sets the actions to take with the

 

 

class map traffic. The policy map in the default global policy is

 

Example:

called global_policy. You can edit this policy, or create a new one.

 

You can only apply one policy to each interface or globally.

 

ciscoasa(config)# policy-map cws_policy

 

 

Step 13

 

 

class name1

Identifies the class map created in Step 9.

 

Example:

 

 

ciscoasa(config-pmap)# class cws_class1

 

Step 14

 

 

inspect scansafe scansafe_policy_name1

Enables Cloud Web Security inspection on the traffic in this class.

 

[fail-open fail-close]

Specify the inspection class map name that you created in Step 1.

 

Example:

Specify fail-opento allow traffic to pass through the ASA if the

 

Cloud Web Security servers are unavailable.

 

ciscoasa(config-pmap-c)# inspect scansafe

Specify fail-closeto drop all traffic if the Cloud Web Security

 

cws_inspect_pmap1 fail-open

 

 

servers are unavailable. fail-closeis the default.

Step 15

 

 

class name2

(Optional) Identifies a second class map that you created in

 

inspect scansafe scansafe_policy_name2

Step 11, and enables Cloud Web Security inspection for it.

 

[fail-open fail-close]

You can configure multiple class maps as needed.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

ciscoasa(config-pmap)# class cws_class2

 

 

ciscoasa(config-pmap-c)# inspect scansafe

 

 

cws_inspect_pmap2 fail-open

 

Step 16

 

 

service-policy policymap_name {global

Activates the policy map on one or more interfaces. global applies

 

interface interface_name}

the policy map to all interfaces, and interface applies the policy

 

 

to one interface. Only one global policy is allowed. You can

 

Example:

override the global policy on an interface by applying a service

 

policy to that interface. You can only apply one policy map to

 

ciscoasa(config)# service-policy

 

cws_policy inside

each interface. See the “Applying Actions to an Interface (Service

 

 

Policy)” section on page 1-17for more information.
