Hi,

How to connect two small corporative networks with PIX Firewall 501 and PIX Firewall 506E over leased line ?

Networks is 10.10.1.0/24 (on PIX 501) and 10.10.2.0/24 (on PIX 506E)


Thanks in advance.
 
If it is a leased line, why did you not just buy two routers instead of doing this VPN?

Thanks you LloydSev, but i don't want to make VPN, because i use leased line and i don't need more security.

My question is can i use PIX Firewall 501 and PIX Firewall 506E in routers mode for connect two small networks ?



 
Via just 2 PIX devices? That would be tough is possible as the PIX is not designed to be a router.

The PIX cannot act as a CSU/DSU. You need something to connect your leased line to...a router on the outside?
 
If you have a leased line then you need a router, the PIX only has ethernet ports and leased lines require a CSU/DSU which will give you access on a V.35 interface or other similar interface like V.24, EIA/TIA 232, etc. So there's no option but a router.
 
I now understand. Thanks you very much to all.
One last question:

How to build VPN Site-to-Site between 2 small networks with PIX Firewall 501 and PIX Firewall 506E ?

I read and try this help:
but PIX no connect over VPN. Where is my mistake ?

Thanks again.
 
well you said you have no router, correct?

Without a router there would be no way to interface your PIX to the internet or to the other end of your leased line.

yes, I not have router.
My leased line have ethernet (RJ45) ports.
