Configuring Cisco PIX 520.

I have a Cisco PIX with six interfaces with Cisco PIX v6.3(5) and PDM v3.04. I currently have the inside and outside configured and I can access the internet with my machines behind the firewall. However, I would like to configure the 4 left interfaces as

192.168.3.0/24-192.168.6.0/24 networks with NAT/PAT enabled for each interface so that each of the 4 interfaces will be its own network over which I shall put machines to go to the internet on these separate networks. Is this possible. I am new to Cisco PIX, but certainly not to networking. I believe this can be done however, some Cisco PIX documentations refer to the quad nic interfaces as DMZs. However, other documentations I have read refer to the four quad nic interfaces in a Cisco PIX as perimeters.

Thanks in advance, Benchmark

Yes. Just go ahead and do it. The only difference from the way you configured the inside interface is the interface name and the interface security level number.

If at some point you want the additional networks to be able to initiate connections to an interface with a higher security level (e.g., the inside interface) then the setup gets slightly more complicated. The rule is that unless you have configured otherwise, traffic going to a higher security level needs to be addressed to the "public" IPs of the higher level, and traffic going to a lower security level should be addressed to the private (internal) IP of the lower level.

Just a matter of emphasis. Both terms are correct.

Hi Walter, Following your advice above, I went ahead to configure dmz(ethernet2) connected to a Windows XP SP2 workstation to browse the internet. My Cisco PIX firewall inside and outdside are configured and I cannot browse the internet from the inside network, no problem. I attempting to enable a workstation in so-called dmz (ethernet) to also browse the internet from the same DSL connection that allow my inside network workstations to also browse the internet. Here is the network setup: Inside network: 192.168.1.0/24 Firewall inside IP: 192.168.1.1 DMZ network: 192.168.3.0/24 Firewall DMZ IP: 192.168.3.1 Outside IP: 192.168.2.10 Default route: 192.168.2.1 Workstation in DMZ network IP address: 192.168.3.2. For the full configuration running on the Cisco PIX 520, please see below:

Please note that I entered static and access-list for the machine in the dmz zone, so that access to it s allowed from outside, although it was not running any www services. You may ignore that as it was done out of desperation, however, it did not work i.e. I cannot browse from the dmz network with my WinXP PC.

Thanks in advance, Benchmark.
