Cisco PIX and IPX

[veneficuss]

I just found out that i need to support 2 old novel file servers that run IPX within out DMZ zone.

1. Does Cisco PIX support IPX
2. If yes, What must I configure to enable this?

Much appreciative of your help

Nope. PIX does not support IPX, as IPX is not an Internet protocol suite.

Alternatives:
1. Put the server on the inside instead of the DMZ. Static NAT and open the ports you need.
2. Move to Novell 5+ which supports IP natively, and dump IPX.

hope this helps,
