Getting Started!!

Hi

I'm new to firewalls and I'm hoping somebody will give me enough information to get the ball rolling.

I've purchased two Cisco 506e firewalls for two sites, I purchased a managed service and got the suppliers to set up a VPN tunnel between the two pix's over the internet. At present the encryption used is DES and I want to upgrade this to 3DES,

I've purchased the upgrade and need to be able to interface the firewalls in order to run the upgrade. I could use the managed service but it costs a forture by the day.

I want to have a go myself but this is where I'm stuck I haven't a clue how to go about this, I think I will need a serial connection to the PIX from my laptop or PC but I don't know what software to use or where to get it from.

Ironically I'm fairly comfortable with running the commands once I have an interface.

I belive you need to download Cisco TFTP Server

Were can I get hold of that, does it cost anything?
