Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Question

How do you configure the Cisco Web Security Appliance to use a specific interface for authentication traffic?

Environment

AsyncOS 7.x and later.

Symptoms

By default, the Cisco WSA will always use the Management interface for routing authentication traffic.

Solution

We can change this behavior by configuring a static route in the routing table and then specify the appropriate interface we want to use for routing.

  1. Under the GUI >Network> Routes.
  2. Click Add Route.
  3. Under Destination, specify the Active Directory server IP address.
  4. Under the gateway section, specify the appropriate Interface gateway.
  5. Submit and commit the changes.
