routing with 2 pix 506 vpn's

Sep 16, 2005 1 Replies

I need to figure out how (if it is possible) to route between two VPNs on a PIX Firewall. Namely...


china Office-----TJ-----HK-----CHICAGO-----Chicago Office



PIX PIX PIX


Two PIXes have VPNs that terminate at the same HK PIX.



I need to be able to route traffic from the china Office to the Chicago Office through the HK PIX.

The PIX 506/506E currently does not support PIX 7.0, so there is no direct way to do what you want with that model. The 515/515E is the lowest that supports 7.0 at present.

:Two PIXes have VPNs that terminate at the same HK PIX.

You -might- be able to take advantage of logical interfaces, if you have a VLAN-aware router or switch in front of the 506, and if you are able to assign distinct subnets.

PIX 6.x is not able to route traffic in and out of the same logical interface, under any circumstances, but from 6.3(2) the 506/506E can support a small number of logical (VLAN) interfaces on the same physical interface.
