How to configure PIX firewall as a vpn client

[amashau]

I would like to configure one pix firewall as a vpn client and the other firewall must authenticate this vpn client.( the second firewall must act as VPN server basically).

I don't want to configure lan to lan vpn.

I would appreciate your responsed.

Thanks

Hello amashau,

I do not think this can be done, by why would you want to anyway? Once the "client" PIX has connected to the "server" PIX, it will be devices attached behind the PIXs that communicate, with the PIXs (in effect) acting as routers - hence you will have a LAN-to-LAN topology.

Test first your VPV server and username/password combination with the regular Cisco VPN client

Add this configuration into the Pix acting like a client

vpnclient server

vpnclient mode client-mode

vpnclient vpngroup password

vpnclient username password

vpnclient enable

I had tested it with the version 6.3.3

Hope it help
