help with static route

[fathead]

This is my first attempt at configuring a pix, so I need a little help. I need to configure so that when someone tries to access 10.1.0.0 subnet it sends to router 172.16.34.1 (which belongs to the hospital). The inside interface on the pix is 172.16.34.100. All users can access the internet ok, but they have to access 10.1.0.0 in order to run apps from the hospital.
I setup a static route and can ping 10.1.0.180 from the pix, but not from each workstation.

Is the PIX the default gateway? If so, then this will not work. The PIX is not a router and doesn't act like one (at least not in this case). I am going to assume that the PIX is your DG. Here are your options.


1) Use a layer 3 switch on your network as the default gateway and setup the routing statements in it.
2) Run a logon script (assumes windows) that adds the route to the computer when it logs in.
3) Manuall add the permanent route to each machine.

Option 1 is probably the best.


It is what it is!!

What type of PIX do you use?

From what I understand, and this has been touched upon by anyone yet running 7.0, but 7.0 is supposed to allow this type of operation on the PIX.

I used a logon script to route the traffic. I thought about it and I don't think I can route traffic back out the same interface. I think I would need a PIX with more interfaces in order to do this....right?

You will need a router to do this.

So you can use a spare router or a layer 3 switch. I prefer the later since it is designed to route at wire speed.
