Changing IP address of PIX

Jun 19, 2006 1 Replies

I have to change the company IP addresses from one block to another. My current plan is to replace the PIX entries one-to-one. For instance if the IP addresses are



outside old outside new inside



209.168.5.1 210.168.5.1
192.168.5.1
209.168.5.2 210.168.5.2
192.168.5.2
209.168.5.3 210.168.5.3
192.168.5.3
209.168.5.4 210.168.5.4
192.168.5.4

I replace old with new in the PIX config. The network is heterogeneous with some Linux and some Windows. Do I need to change the IP addresses on each machine's interface (currently the interface has inside IP address) ? I am hoping I don't need to.



Also, how do I change the IP address of firewall itself?



Upstream to the firewall there is a router managed by our ISP. Do I have to communicate the ISP to forward packets to the new firewall?



Thanks for your help



No, the inside machines should not notice.

Go into configure mode and command

Find the current IP used for the outside by using show ip I have represented that address below with an X Go into configuration mode and command

no ip address outside 209.168.5.X 255.255.255.0 ip address outside 210.168.5.X 255.255.255.0

Yes.
