PIX minimal setup for pinging out the inside

What would be the minimal setup necessary for a successful ping out the inside interface ?



I assume all I would have to do is setup an IP address on the inside interface in the same subnet as the rest of my LAN. I souldn't need NAT or the Global commands working, and I should not need statics or an access list , right ? So something like



interface ethernet 1 100full nameif ethernet1 inside security100 ip address inside 192.168.0.238 255.255.255.0



is really all I would need, no ?


We picked up an old 515 E to use as a back up. I want to get it on the local net so I can upload the config from the working 515. As it stands I cant get to first base. No pings, no fun

Send us output from show interface, and make sure you have a straight patch cable to your inside switch. If you are using 5.x PIXOS then "conduit permit icmp any any" as I recall but it has been a while. The 515 should have 6.xx though. Keep in mind the OS needs to match for the config to come across, you might simply copy the "sh run" and paste in the config a line or 4 at a time to catch any errors. sh version will show your PIXOS and licensing details, that would be helpful.
