I have a Cisco 3620 with dual T1's that we're going to use for our Internet connection. We have an address pool of about 15 public IPs that we'll use for our internal servers. Can someone please send me a link to a good howto on setting up NAT and access-lists, or maybe just a good explanation here.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Chris,

Why try and do all your NATing and security on the router when you have a perfectly good PIX firewall sitting there doing nothing? That could be protecting your servers and doing one to one static translations from the LAN address to a live IP address.

Your right, how about this?

Are the servers web servers that the "outside" world see? If so, you could put all the servers in a DMZ off the PIX. This may be what your diagram is trying to depict, not sure.
 
Are you saying to add a third interface to the PIX and put the servers inside of that? Yes, the 4 servers are web servers.

Chris
 
Exactly. The PIX will have three, or more, interfaces. One that connects to the "outside", one "inside" and one "DMZ". This will isolate your servers from the internal network.
 
Here's the 'show version' output on the PIX 515. On the bottom, its says "Port Allowed: 2", under the "Licensed Options". I'm not sure what this means, but my guess is that we're only licensed to use 2 interfaces?

First off I would upgrade the software on this PIX. Next, on the 515 and above, depending on what version of the license you have will determine how many interface will work. On the "restricted" license you can use three. "Unrestricted" gets you 6 on the 515.

SO long story short you should be able to put another NIC in the PIX and be good to go.

 
Which version of the software should I upgrade to? We have the restricted license, and I was told that you can only use two interfaces with this license? Where can I find info on this?

Chris
 
Thanks for the link. Looks like I need to upgrade to the 5.1+ software.

Quick question....I already know that we have a restricted license, but if I didn't know this, how could I tell? The show version command doesn't tell you.

Chris
 
Once you upgrade a show ver will give you a little more info.
