How to configuring a PIX 501 to receive IP from Linksys router DHCP

What is the configuration on a PIX 501, for PCs behinf it to access the internet? The PIX to receive an IP address from a DHCP server-Linksys DSL router. The following config does not work.



PIX(config )# interface ethernet0 10baset interface ethernet1 10full ip address outside dhcp setroute global (outside) 1 interface nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ip address inside 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0 Config on PC Ip address 10.10.1.2/24 default gateway 10.10.1.1


The problem with your config is that the pix requires the PPPoE client to be enabled. If you have DHCP enabled on the outside interface, the Pix will automatically disable the PPPoE client you require - and vice versa if you have the PPPoE client enabled.

*Take the examples relating to the pppoe client itself; as there is alot more there.

Quite welcome.

Been there; suffered through that. It's can be quite frustrating. :)
