ASA - transparent firewall on 8.3 and 8.4

I need to implement a transparent firewall between r1 and r2. Ping and bgp session have to be allowed. 10.0 . 0.1 10.0 . 0.100 10.0 . 0.2 /---- \ ----- /---- \ | R1 |----------| ASA1 |----------| R2 | \- ---/ ----- \- ---/ vlan10 ---->| <---- vlan20 1) Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.3(1) First I configure min requirements to allow on bgp session between r1 and r2 R1:   ! interface GigabitEthernet0 / 0 ip address 10.0 . 0.1 255.255 . 255.0 ! router bgp 65001 neighbor 10.0 . 0.2 remote - as 65001 !
