Cisco Zone based firewall (ZBF) - IOS 15.2

In this lab guide I will be showing you how to configure a Cisco zone based firewall (ZBF) using the following Zone based firewall-Application inspection for HTTP traffic-Multiple zones-NAT and PAT-Denial of service (Dos) protection.I will be using the IOS CLI and not the security device manager (SDM) in this book as it is easier to use and more powerful. The SDM is very useful for management after the IOS router has been configured.The IOS router will be based upon a 7200VXR with version 15.2 but a lot of the configuration will work on previous versions of the code and on other platforms.Grant Wilson is the author of the “Cisco Pocket Lab Guides” series of books.
