Re: Pix v6.3 basic task

(syntax and specifics different for 7.0/later)

Basic Pix needs (beyond power, network connectivity
and IP addresses.)
1. Routing
2. Translation
3. Access List

1. Does the PIX have routes for the networks that you
want to translate (Are these directly connected, or
some distant network?)

2. Translation

Translation is done with either a static, or a
nat/global pairing. Below are a few short examples.

In example A, there are two sets of PAT, overloading
to interface addresses.
1 - traffic from the DMZ interface is translated to
the global outside address.
2 - traffic sourced from the internet and dmz
interfaces is translated to the inside interface
address.

*** Begin A ***
global (outside) 1 interface

 global (inside) 2 interface

 global (dmz) 2 interface

 nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

 nat (internet) 2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

**** End A **

In example B, a static is used to translate the inside
address 192.168.11.11 to 63.63.63.63 on the outside
interface.

** Begin B **
static (inside,outside) 63.63.63.63 192.168.11.11
netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

** End B **

Note: Format of static is (local, global) global
local

static (inside, outside) 63.63.63.63 192.168.11.11
would translate the real device address of
192.168.11.11 (on the inside) to the address
63.63.63.63 on the outside interface.

static (outside, inside) 192.168.11.11 63.63.63.63
would translate the real device address of 63.63.63.63
(on the outside) to 192.168.11.11 on the inside
interface.

3. Access list - is the traffic being permitted "in"
to the interfaces on the PIX.

Check out the examples listed below. With the basic
understanding of the information presented above, the
first one should be pretty easy to understand.
