ASA Firewall - Switch question

Nobylspoon

So I just picked up an ASA 5505 after having worked with a PIX 506E and I am just trying to get a better understanding of the VLANs and built in switch.

I have 2 devices plus a WAP all on the same subnet that I would like to connect to the ASA. So in order to do this, should I connect each device to a port and configure them on the same VLAN?

Do I need to use the "switchport access vlan" command for all three devices on all three ports to be able to talk to each other?

Or should I just go buy a $20 switch and plug it into the ASA and connect everything though that, lol :P

Thanks for the help.

I think the default config on the 5505 puts e0/0 in VLAN1 and e0/0 to e0/7 in VLAN2.

If you're configuring it manually from scratch then you can just do it yourself with the commands you mentioned.

Sounds like those factory defaults are just what I was looking for. I bought it used and I was just trying to reconfigure the corrent setup but I think I will go ahead and restore those settings instead. Thanks for the help.
