PIX 506E DMZ config

May 01, 2006 1 Replies

Hi out there



I'm a newbie on PIX configuration and would appreciate some hints on following issue.



I need to establish a DMZ, either using the VLAN feature in the PIX 506E, or cascading two 506E's in the below shown setup:



INTERNET --> PIX 506E --> DMZ NETWORK --> PIX 506E --> INTERNAL PRIVATE NETWORK



Is both scenario's possible and which is preferable ?



BTW: VPN must be able to function !


Best regards, /Anders Dahl Tollestru


I've set up a PIX506E with VLAN subinterfaces. It works well and will be simpler than using two PIXes. If you use two in the model you drew above, traffice from the internal net to the internet would have to pass through the DMZ, which could be a risk.
