PIX on a Stick?
Posted by Wil on July 30th, 2005


So I need a ton of DMZ ports all of a sudden. I know that the PIX
supports VLAN's, and I also know that the PIX will not route out of the
same interface that the packet comes in on. So, if I create say 5 VLAN's
(non-routable on the switch) and trunk it to the firewall will I be able
to create rules to allow traffic to the different VLAN's?

Example, I have VLAN 10,11,12 on the switch with no IP addresses. I
create logical interfaces on the PIX as everyone's gateway. Rules
permitting, can I allow a computer in VLAN 10 to talk to a computer in
VLAN 11?

Thanks!

Okay, so some reading proved that this can be done... Now, since I need
more bandwidth of course, how about aggrigating PIX ports?

A two GigE trunk would be nice, never heard of one on a PIX though...

Correct. Some people have reported that you can get a single GE to
work in a PIX 515/515E.

ok - didnot know this...
But still, considering the throughput performance on 515e, this can really
be an option, also considering it is unsupported from Cisco's side.
