Hi guys, I will try my best to be as clear as possible.
I'm junior Network Admin and just start to work in this small company.
Currently i have one ISP, 100mbps symetric link:
Internet > ISP1 > ISP SWiTCH > CISCOPiX1 AND CiSCOPiX2
Each CiscoPix is also connect to these differents domains through different nic:
Hosting SW
Dmz SW
Prod SW
Dev SW
I do not have additional Network Interface to connect new devices on my CiscoPIX...
NOW i have a new ISP coming soon with a 1 Gbps symetric Link
to have redundancy and improve some of my Prod services
What would be the best way to interconnect this new link to my network ?
And of course i want to keep my network behide a firewall.
I guess i would buy one or two new PIX and interconnect with the current switches. But does a pix can manage a Gbps link ?
Anyway please let me know if you have any advices.
Thanks
Xav.

First of all, I don't understand why do you have two PIX devices; each of them has one public IP and function as a router also ?
How many eth ports does your PIX equipment has?

Hi Florin,
The previous admin installed two PIX linked failover.
-each PIX is connected to the ISP1 switch and has it Public IP.
-each PIX has: 5 Network interfaces Total

Each network interface:
eth0
eth1
card #1 :eth
card #2 :OpticalFiber
card #3 :OpticalFiber
And yes they act as router also.
