Pix 501 and Local Network Router (No VPN Needed)

Ok.. I have set up a 501 Pix, with a BEFSR81 Router. (sorta...)

I have the pix setup to where I can get out to the internet using the

4-ports on it , but...

I want to add the router between the pix and the pc systems for the internet. No go. I have worked with the router, and the pix, tried a couple examples (trying to remove what is related to vpn to another location in most examples).

End goal, is to have the computers connected to the router, the router to the pix. I've erased and started over and over and over... Missing something(s) really stupid I'm sure, but anyway, for now, here is a pretty plane jane config that I went back to and at least does get the pix ports out to the net, Now what do I need to do in order to get the router in-between systems and pix?

I don't care about VPN at all right now, but I think I will use it down the road. A solution that won't be compromise future VPN use would be great... Thanks.

I don't know but you can start by getting rid of this:

fixup protocol dns maximum-length 512

Negate that. It's bad. Also, turn on your snmp and run something like KIWI syslog to see what kind of errors are passed when you connect up the router.

Thanks

Hi,

If you are putting a router in between the PC's and the PIX then the inside interface of the PIX would have to be on a different subnet from the PC's. Assuming you have done this - as the router wouldn't let you configure overlapping addresses on it's interfaces - then you just need to add a route onto the PIX to say that the PC subnet is via the router's interface...

In this example I have used 192.168.2.0 /24 for the PC LAN and 192.168.1.254 for your router's interface:

route inside 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254

Regards,

Martin

Thanks Martin, I appreciate your help. My original message never showed up on my end, and yours was the only reply (But it should do the trick). I appreciate your time as well - Xlat
