Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI

Chapter 67 Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and Users

Group Policies

hostname(config-group-policy)#

The first IP address specified is that of the primary WINS server. The second (optional) IP address is
that of the secondary WINS server. Specifying the none keyword instead of an IP address sets WINS
servers to a null value, which allows no WINS servers and prevents inheriting a value from a default or
specified group policy.

Every time that you enter the wins-server command, you overwrite the existing setting. For example, if
you configure WINS server x.x.x.x and then configure WINS server y.y.y.y, the second command
overwrites the first, and y.y.y.y becomes the sole WINS server. The same is true for multiple servers. To
add a WINS server rather than overwrite previously configured servers, include the IP addresses of all
WINS servers when you enter this command.

The following example shows how to configure WINS servers with the IP addresses 10.10.10.15 and
10.10.10.30 for the group policy named FirstGroup:

hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes

hostname(config-group-policy)# wins-server value 10.10.10.15 10.10.10.30

hostname(config-group-policy)#

Step 2

Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers:

hostname(config-group-policy)# dns-server value {ip_address [ip_address] | none}

hostname(config-group-policy)#

The first IP address specified is that of the primary DNS server. The second (optional) IP address is that
of the secondary DNS server. Specifying the none keyword instead of an IP address sets DNS servers to
a null value, which allows no DNS servers and prevents inheriting a value from a default or specified
group policy.

Every time that you enter the dns-server command you overwrite the existing setting. For example, if
you configure DNS server x.x.x.x and then configure DNS server y.y.y.y, the second command
overwrites the first, and y.y.y.y becomes the sole DNS server. The same is true for multiple servers. To
add a DNS server rather than overwrite previously configured servers, include the IP addresses of all
DNS servers when you enter this command.

The following example shows how to configure DNS servers with the IP addresses 10.10.10.15, and
10.10.10.30 for the group policy named FirstGroup:

hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes

hostname(config-group-policy)# dns-server value 10.10.10.15 10.10.10.30

hostname(config-group-policy)#

Step 3

Configure the DHCP network scope:

hostname(config-group-policy)# dhcp-network-scope {ip_address | none}

hostname(config-group-policy)#

DHCP scope specifies the range of IP addresses (that is, a subnetwork) that the ASA DHCP server
should use to assign addresses to users of this group policy.

The following example shows how to set an IP subnetwork of 10.10.85.0 (specifying the address range
of 10.10.85.0 through 10.10.85.255) for the group policy named First Group:

hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes

hostname(config-group-policy)# dhcp-network-scope 10.10.85.0
