PIX as a router?

[TRENT WAITE]

I have an old PIX 506, and I know the 506 supports RIP. However, can I use this simply as a router, to go from network A to B transparently, without any filtering? If I setup the outside interface to be 192.168.2.2 and the inside to be 192.168.10.1, how would I go about configuring the PIX to simply route to the inside network? Has anyone done this? Does anyone have an example config that is simply using the PIX as a router?

You will need to enable NAT on pix to route traffic between interfaces. Here is a link for sample config,

Hello,

You can configure nonat rule to bypass the NAT.

access-list nonat permit ip

nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat

Then you can configure RIP on both interfaces.

Hope this helps.
