PIX 7.2 Packet Processing Order ?

Andrew von Nagy

I have searched for documentation regarding the order of operations for packet processing in the PIX 535 appliance for both inbound and outbound packets, but cannot find any.

Does anyone have a reference as to what order ACLs, Xlate, Conn, and NAT lookups occur on packets in the PIX?

You could also try the 'packet-tracer' command. It will show you the actual steps that are taken for a packet that you can specify.
