PIX Transparent bridging workaround

hernacar · ‎08-05-2004

We have a situation where we have Servers that will need to be placed on a DMZ protected by a PIX that are part of the same subnet as the server farm inside the secure network. On the third arm of the PIX will have a second DMZ attached to a VPN contivity 600 switch and configured as site-to-site with a vendor. Until PIX ver 7.0 that will have the transparant bridging what would be the workaround without changing IP's.

I believe many of the others are able to do this (transparent firewall, stealth mode, bridging mode firewall), ie. Netscreen, Sun's etc.. and they've had it available for some time. Cisco will have it available in their 7.0 code for the PIX. There must be other's with the same need? maybe? There has to be a work-around I would think?

It is possible in the new IOS and it works quite good ;)
