Adding site-to-site VPNs to existing PIXs -- PDM? open original image

I've inherited a PIX 501 at a central office, which has site-to-site VPNs to around a half dozen remote offices. Now, I need to add another remote office; so I need to configure both the remote 501 from scratch as well as adding another VPN to the existing central office 501.



I hurriedly tried getting a site-to-site VPN set up with the CLI on the PIXes, but for whatever reason it failed. Anyhow, I am in a hurry (again) and have wondered if using PDM would be a reasonable way to accomplish this. Can I just log into PDM on both central & remote offices, enter pretty much the same information (except for peer IPs, etc) and expect it to work? Or is PDM a little on the flaky side?



Thanks,


Chris
