remote admin of PIX E

[mickeyzalewski]

I installed a PIX 506E at a remote site yesterday - I used the PDM for most of the configuration - but looking back I think I would have been better off using a bare bones config from the CLI and tweaking it as necessary.
In any case I added remote management capabilities from telnet via the PDM - but now I am unable to acess the PIX.

configs the PDM inserted are below:

telnet X.X.187.0 255.255.255.224 outside

Why isn't it working?
I am trying to enable access from a /27 subnet.
The router I am telneting from is within the subnet range.
If anyone can recommend a config that should work I would appreciate it.

Also do I need to enable https from inside to outside or is it enabled by default?

Hi,

if I understand you right you want to telnet to the outside interface of the pix. This is not possible.

One workearound is to build up a vpn-connection through the pix to the inside network and than connect via telnet to the inside interface of the pix.

In order to telnet to the PIX from the outside interface, the traffic needs to be encrypted.
