Routing PIX 515 6.3

Jun 26, 2005 2 Replies

I have a problem route my internal networks.



The setup is :



Local LAN 192.168.1.0/24 default GW 192.168.1.1 Pix ip : 192.168.1.1



Secondary router on local LAN: 192.168.1.11



What i want to do is connect to hosts on LAN's on the other side of the



192.168.1.11 router.

I have added a "route inside 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.11" on the pix. Now the PIX can ping the hosts, but the clients on 192.168.1.0 cannot ping the 10.10.1.0/24 hosts. If i add a route on my pc for the 10.10.1.0/24 network, it works fine. Yesterday i had another firewall instead os the PIX, and that worked fine by just adding static routes.



I have no access to the 192.168.1.11 router.

You can't do that with PIX 6.3.

If you need to be able to do that, change the gateway of the machines on your local LAN to 192.168.1.11 and let that router forward any outside-bound packets to the PIX.

Alternately, upgrade to PIX 7.0(1) on your 515 (which might require upgrading the memory first.) This would not, however, be my recommendation.

:Yesterday i had another firewall instead os the PIX, and that worked :fine by just adding static routes.

And those other firewalls are probably vulnerable to the IPSec attacks announced in May. See below for more information:

Thank you for the answer..

I figured it out by setting another router in front of the pix, but thanks anyway.

You mentioned that the old Firewall's could be vulnerable, thats the reason for changing the setup, and equipment.

Thanks again.
