Pix and vlan allowing traffic

Hello,



Is it possible to allow traffic from workstations located on vlan10 to fileserver (samba) located on vlan20? VLAN20 is on lower security interface.



Thank you.

Yes. If you do not have an access-group applied to vlan10 then that traffic would be permitted by default. If you do have an access-group, then allow it in the named access-list .

Return traffic is also of concern. SMB can be over TCP or over NETBIOS (UDP). If you happen to be using the NETBIOS version

-and- if the server sends asynchronous packets to the clients or the server might delay a response for over 2 minutes [e.g., waiting until a file becomes unlocked] then the UDP session might time out. To deal with that you would have to either raise the UDP timeout or else permit the UDP traffic in an access-group applied to the vlan20 interface.
