Cisco PIX 515e basic configuration

attrib7575 — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 11:43:49 GMT

Was wondering if anyone might know why I cant establish basic connectivity from LAN to WAN interface on this machine? I've been trying very hard to get it and I guess its beyond me, very frustrating. Here is a post of the configuration:

It would be a relief if my company didn't have to scrap our nice Cisco stuff because we just cant figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks

First off, I would get rid of the unused global PAT entries:

no global (t1) 4 x.x.x.125-x.x.x.127 netmask 255.255.255.248

no global (t1) 2 x.x.x.124

no global (t1) 3 x.x.x.122

Then your route statement seems to be wrong:

no route t1 x.x.x.124 255.255.255.255 x.x.x.121 1

Use:

route t1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.121

Ok thanks, I'll try that

Wow that worked!! thank you so much! I think I was getting caught up in trying to change the interface IP addressees too much. Possibly that's where the incorrect global NAT's were accumulating. I was confused on what IP address to assign the WAN interface. Apparently you give it one of your static addresses, its not the same address as your wan gateway (in this case, the csu/dsu to the t1). Also, the global route is a confusing syntax. I'll have to look at that more. Whatever I typed in seems to work now. Thanks again!!!!

try changing your route t1 x.x.x.124 255.255.255.255 x.x.x.121 1 to

route t1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.121 1

To me it appears you are only trying to route x.x.x.124 to the outside (t1) interface.

That may be possible. But, since this configuration works and I've spent so long trying to figure it out. I'm not going to change a thing if I dont absolutely have to. Does anyone know how to permit an incoming Microsoft PPTP client? I have set access rules to permit PPTP and GRE, as well as static NAT to the VPN server on the LAN. IT isnt working, however. I can VPN the server from inside the LAN, so I know that its set up correctly. Its something to do with the firewall.

You need to setup a static mapping from an unused IP address from your CIDR range, to your VPN server. Then allow the appropriate traffic inbound to the mapped address on your t1 interface.

** please rate posts if helpfull **

Yeah, thanks. As I mentioned above, the connection works, as well as RDP now. I have taken up the VPN in another topic. THanks everyone!
