PIX 501 configuration from scratch

Feb 17, 2006 2 Replies

Hi guys, Very simple network, one static IP and one Win2003 Domain Controller. I just need to open SMTP and RDP from the external. Is there a procedure out there on the internet to set this up? (from scratch, one command at a time) Please help this new Cisco user! =) Thanks guys.


Hi Mc, Which IOS version youare using.

Here is an example from starting PIX>en PIX# config t# interface ethernet0 auto config t# nameif ethernet0 outside security0 config t# interface ethernet1 auto config t# nameif ethernet1 inside security100 config t# ip address outside "ip""subnetmask" config t# ip address inside "ip""subnetmask" config t# nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 config t# global (outside) 1 interface config t# access-list acl-out permit icmp any any config t# access-list acl-out permit tcp any any eq 3389 config t# access-list acl-out permit tcp any any eq smtp config t# access-group acl-out in interface outside. config t# route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 "netxt hope" config t# wr mem config t# Exit pix>
