This sample configuration demonstrates how to set up the Cisco Security Appliances (PIX/ASA) for use with two internal networks.
When you add a second internal network behind a PIX Firewall, keep in mind the following points.
-
The PIX cannot route any packets.
-
The PIX does not support secondary addressing.
-
A router has to be used behind the PIX to achieve routing between the existing network and the newly added network.
-
The default gateway of all the hosts should be set pointing to the inside router.
-
Add a default route on the inside router pointing to the PIX.
-
Remember to clear the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache on the inside router.
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
This configuration can also be used with the Cisco 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance, which runs Version 7.x and later.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.
Note: To find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) .
This document uses the network setup shown in this diagram.
Note: The IP addressing schemes used in this configuration are not legally routable on the Internet. They are RFC 1918 addresses, which have been used in a lab environment.
This document uses the configurations shown here.
If you have the output of a write terminal command from your Cisco device, you can use Output Interpreter (registered customers only) to display potential issues and fixes.
