My goal is to have a tech pull a PIX out of the box and enter the Serial Number and MAC address into a database. At that point a DHCP reservation is made for the MAC address and the firewall is put on a shelf until needed.</P><P></P><P>When needed, the PIX is installed and powered up. The tech can then trigger an event to automatically push a configuration down (from outside) into the PIX eliminating as much operator error as possible.</P><P></P><P>The problem: The PIX does not come out of the box with SSH configured from the outside. Is there anyway to work around this? Presently, I am down to configuring SSH for outside, setting the domain-name and generating the RSA keys. I really need to eliminate even this amount of manual intervention.</P><P></P><P>Ideas?</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Steven</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 11:44:44 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automating-pix-configuration/m-p/897941#M957481 sfeltner00 2019-03-11T11:44:44Z Re: Automating PIX Configuration https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/automating-pix-configuration/m-p/897942#M957482 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I used to use VB scripts in SecureCRT to eliminate user error.
