topic PIX 501 Firewall Questions in Network Security https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-firewall-questions/m-p/162618#M615227 <P>I would like to add a PIX 501 Firewall to our existing network. Currently our ISP has provided a 1720 router that has a static IP address. That router is then connected to an HP Procurve switch. We already have a DHCP server in place that is providing private IP addresses to the devices on our network. Do I place the firewall between the router and the switches and disable the DHCP server on the firewall? </P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 06:56:26 GMT jerryfreeman 2020-02-21T06:56:26Z PIX 501 Firewall Questions https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-firewall-questions/m-p/162618#M615227 <P>I would like to add a PIX 501 Firewall to our existing network.

Will you be using legitimate ip addresses on the external interface of the PIX? </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Aug 2003 17:58:44 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-firewall-questions/m-p/162619#M615228 mostiguy 2003-08-18T17:58:44Z Re: PIX 501 Firewall Questions https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-firewall-questions/m-p/162620#M615230 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes. My ISP gave me an IP address, a Subnet mask &amp; a Gateway IP address to use. Does the internal IP address need to be changed to a static IP address from my private network range?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Aug 2003 20:50:33 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-firewall-questions/m-p/162620#M615230 jerryfreeman 2003-08-18T20:50:33Z
