PIX VPN - Is 501 suitable?

[ensorg]

Hi,

Currently we have a PIX501 setup at our main site and a PIX501 at our remote site. These were brought as a firewall. But we are now thinking of setting up a Site to Site VPN between the two PIXs.

My question is, as the PIXs only have one outside interface, is it possible to have a VPN connection AND internet access running through the same outside interface, or will I need to upgrade to a PIX that has two outside interfaces?

Many Thanks

Gareth

The pix 501 can do the job fine. All you need to do is configure the site-to-site vpn, use this link as a guideline:

Thanks, I was worried that it would route all traffic thru the VPN thus our users would not be able to get out onto the web.
I will have a read of that page tonight and attempt to configure the PIXs tomorrow.
