PIX to route to another deivce ???

usderit — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 05:47:43 GMT

The PIX is working fine. People can go through the web thru the PIX w/o any problems, but is it possible to make the PIX behave like a router where it would route the traffic to another device if the packets are not destined to the Internet.

my routes in the pix:

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 65.201.199.1 1

route inside 10.30.17.0 255.255.255.0 10.30.50.1 1

the second line doesn't work, this is the other internal network that I want the PIX to forward the packets to another device. The internal interface of the pix is on the same network of the other device that can route to the 10.30.17.0 network.

Thanks

No the PIX is not a router and will not redirect packets off the same interface it received them. You’ll have to drop a gateway router in front of your PIX to do your internal routing.

Hi!

The "route inside" is only if you have an network behind your inside network that uses the pix to reach internet. So if you add route inside , the pix knows where to send the "established" traffic at the inside to reach back to your network that is behind your internal network.
