PIX506 and second internal network

Hi - we'd like to add an internal subnet to our exiting LAN using a dump home router.

And I'm new to the PIX506.

The default route for the LAN is the PIX506 (192.x.1.1.)

In short, I'd like to change this

Internet --- Cisco1721 ==== PIX506 ---- LAN (192.168.1.0/24)

to this

Internet --- Cisco1721 ==== PIX506 ---- LAN -- dumb router | | (192.168.2.0/24)

I was able to add a route with the route command

route inside 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254 2

I can

(1) ping the PIX506 firewall from a machine on the new subnet (192.168.2.10) (2) ping the dumb router from the PIX506 (3) ping a host on the new subnet (192.168.2.10) from the PIX506

but I can't ping any other host on the 192.168.1.x subnet from the

192.168.2.x subnet (nor can I ping a host on the 192.168.2.x subnet from 192.168.1.x subnet other than from the PIX506.)

When I try to ping a host on the 192.168.1.x subnet from the

192.168.2.x subnet, the PIX506 logs the following error message

Jun 21 12:52:55 firewall Jun 21 2007 13:09:31: %PIX-3-106011: Deny inbound (No xlate) icmp src inside:192.168.1.101 dst inside:192.168.2.10 (type 0, code 0)

The OS version on the PIX506 is 6.3(3).

And needless to say, routing isn't working correctly.

You can't do this with a pix. The pix isn't a router so you can't route traffic from one network on the lan interface and have the pix route that traffic back out the same lan interface to another router, ie. route on a stick.

In this situation the best thing would be to install a persistent route on the clients to route to the second network via the router and not use the pix as a gateway.

Maybe I don't understand your topology. You can probably get away with static routes on your 2nd router and everywhere else. Also, the higher end PIXs can run OSPF and RIP, but that's probably not advisable. Again, I'm not sure if I understand your topology correctly, and I don't know how many interfaces is on your PIX 506.

Upgrade to PIX 6.3(4) or later (which you should do for security reasons anyhow -- the upgrade is free to registered owners).

6.3(4) gives you two VLANs on the 506/506E.
