An Inside User Visits a Web Server
Figure 18-1 shows an inside user accessing an outside web server.
Figure 18-1 Inside to Outside
The following steps describe how data moves through the security appliance (see Figure 18-1):
1. The user on the inside network requests a web page from www.example.com.
2. The security appliance receives the packet and because it is a new session, the security appliance
verifies that the packet is allowed according to the terms of the security policy (access lists, filters,
AAA).
For multiple context mode, the security appliance first classifies the packet according to either a
unique interface or a unique destination address associated with a context; the destination address
is associated by matching an address translation in a context. In this case, the interface would be
unique; the www.example.com IP address does not have a current address translation in a context.
