PIX as a PPTP Client?

matt.richter · ‎03-17-2003

Can the PIX (Ver6.2) be used as a PPTP client to connect to a MS server and thereby sharing the VPN connection using 1 IP address? I currently have MS Clients passing through the PIX to a MS server and all is working well until I run out of IP addresses to assign to "inside" clients.

Thanks,

No, the PIX is only a PPTP server. Even if it was a PPTP client, what you're trying to do (similar to a LAN-to-LAN IPSec tunnel) is not possible with PPTP.

Version 6.3 of the PIX code, due out in the next two weeks or so, allows PPTP with PAT, so you won't need a valid global address for each of your internal machines, they'll be able to all use the one address.
