PIX plus RDP on Second Port (not 3389)

Aug 23, 2006 1 Replies

We have a Cisco PIX (501 I am pretty sure) and are using RDP to connect through a static IP address and default port 3389 to a Terminal Server. I would like to use the same IP address and a second/different port to connect to a second Terminal Server. This would require something like port translation or port forwarding. Is this possible? And how?



I have searched quite long and hard several times for an answer and have not found anything. I know on the client RDP side that I would specify the IP/port as xx.xx.xx.xx:yyyy. I also have seen mention that maybe Cisco version 6.33 is necessary.



Thanks for any help, Alan



As the client supports alternate ports, and as RDP is not something that PIX 6 has a "fixup" for, this should be easy on any PIX OS version supported on the PIX 501.
