PIX 501 interface address issue

[racanelv]

I'm setting up a pix 501 to secure a VPN connection with our St. Louis office. Right out of the box I try and change the external IP addr. to a static one, okay but when I attempt to set the internal IP addr. so it fits within the parameters of our corporate IP structure it tells me the following.

"Interface Address is not on same subnet as DHCP pool".

Well I've tried changing the DCHP pool and it gives me the opposite error and I've even disabled internal DHCP and I still get the same thing. Why won't it let me change the interal/inside IP address on ethernet0?

Can you post some or all of your config? All would be better because I need to see your dhcp, pppoe (if used), as well as the vpn config info.

When you mention you disabled internal dhcp, are you referring to the dhcp service on the pix, or the dhcp client?

What version of pix code are you running?

Seems a lot of people have this issue with the pix. Use the following command to remove the address pool then you can change the inside interface IP.

PIX1(config)# no dhcpd address 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.50 inside (use your dhcp address range, it is probably different than what is listed here)

a successful command will look like the following:

PIX1(config)# no dhcpd address 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.50 inside

DHCPD disabled on inside interface because address pool is removed
