Using OSPF with PIX firewall

[v.nastase]

Our company intend to install PIX firewall for the Internet access point. The internal dynamic routing protocol is OSPF. Also we intend to use OSPF for the connectivity with the two ISP that provide services for us (two different connections to the internet).

Does anybody know the optimal scenario for PIX configuration (if examples exists)to implement two different areas (one for inside and the other for outside)in order to support OSPF only with ISP routers ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi -

Q. Does the PIX support OSPF?

PIX Firewall implementation in version 6.3 code supports intra-area, inter-area and external routes. This release also supports the distribution of static routes to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) processes and route redistribution between OSPF processes

Hope this helps.
