Hi all. I'm finally getting around to setting up a DMZ on our PIX, which has been running fine for about a year, using static routable IPs for the inside interface (no nat).
I assigned IPs to the e2 interface, and set the speed so it's not shutdown. However, when I connect it to our switch using a straight cable, I get a link light on the switch, but sh int e2 still shows "interface ethernet2 "dmz" is up, line protocol is down".
I do have a license for the interface, and tried various speed (including auto) and different cables etc. Am I missing something obvious here, how do I get the line protocol up?
