Source-Based Routing in PIX

[haithamnofal]

Hi There,

I'm trying to lookup a way to do source-based routing in PIX to achieve the same functionality of the "route-map" command in Cisco routers; is there an equivalent command for it in PIX version 7.x? I recall that this wasn't available in previous versions and I couldn't find this out in version 7.x, too but I wanted to double confirm this with you.

Thanking in advance.

Regards,

Haitham

Haitham,

Your understanding is correct, Policy Based Routing is not supported on the Pix Firewall.

Also, dont get confused when you see the "route-map" command option in Pix 6.3 and higher. This command is applicable only when redistributing routes into OSPF.

Pix 6.3 Command Reference:

Pix 7.2 Command Reference

Let me know if it helps.
