Nortel Contivity 1000 and PIX 500 series Firewall

[admin_2]

I need some insight onto how I can implement the following idea into a network: I want to set up a Contivity 1000 to create a VPN as shown in the diagram. The plan is to connect to another site and getting the Contivity to go either around the PIX or through it using a VPN. Would I need an intermediary device? Any design issue conflicts? Is there a more practical way to design this?

(ISP)

||

||

||=======||

(PIX) (Contivity)

||=======||

||

(Switch)

||

||

(LAN)

I have a vauge idea on how to go about accomplishing this. If anybody has any past experience or info on this I wouldy greatly appreciate any help on the matter.
