PIX 515E question...

I am going to be needing a firewall for my network. I will be getting the PIX 515E (unless others are suggested) to handle both firewall and vpn functions. It will be the Unrestricted version with at leat 4 ethernet ports. There will be 2 sperate networks coming into this, along with a DMZ later on for a FTP server. I need to know if i can set the PIX up so that a dial-in client can only access one of the networks, not both, when they establish the vpn connection.

Let me know asap becuase i am ready to order.

Thanks Jason

Yes. The VPN client user has to enter a group name and group password. Each distinct group name corresponds to a different vpngroup in the configuration. Each vpngroup can be configured to use a different ip pool for the dynamic IP given to the client. You can then configure your ACLs so that the different IP ranges for those pools have different accesses.

The Unrestricted version is much more expensive than the Restricted, and depending on your other equipment and your requirements you might be able to handle the 4th interface via an 802.1Q vlan, thus allowing you to use Restricted instead of Unrestricted.

But personally these days if I were looking to get a 515E Unrestricted I would have a careful look at the Cisco 55x0 Security Appliances.

At that price, my -suspicion- would be that you got it used, perhaps from auction. If so, then unless you are in some parts of Europe, you do not have a proper license to use the device, and would need to "relicense" it from Cisco before you could put it on support or even get one of the free security upgrades.
