Max no of VPNs on a cisco PIX

Hi all,
In our head office we have a pix506e and we have numerous remote offices with 877s. Each remote office has a site-site VPN connection to the PIX.
The problem I'm having we recently added 8 new sites, only half of which work. They will all form IPsec tunnels, but you cannot ping through them.
Chatting to a colleague he seems to think that each VPN uses 2 "peer" licenses and hence we will only get a max of 12 concurrent VPN connections.
Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

max number L2L tunnels on PIX506 is 25

Is there a Cisco AireOS to Cisco IOS XE conversion tool?

Hi,
We're currently migrating some AireOS WLCs networks into 5760 IOS XE.
Is there a tool or procedure available to converte an Cisco AireOS configuration into Cisco IOS XE?
I'm currently looking into the the "Cisco AireOS to Cisco IOS XE Command Mapping Reference, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE" document and I was wondering is there is an easy way to do this
Kind regards,
Vasco

There is not real tool that does this conversion. It's best to treat this as a Greenfield implementation.
Thanks,
Scott

SunBlade 100 to Cisco PIX Security Appliance

I have a problem connecting a SunBlade 100 workstation with Cisco Routers, and the PIX Security Appliance at the Console ports of both a Cisco router and the Cisco PIX Security Appliance. This should be out of the serial port of the SunBlade 100 workstation..
I have tried to use the UNIX command tip hardwire. No luck connecting to the console port. I also tried to use the UNIX cu command again no response from the console port. I tried connecting a modem temporarily to the SunBlade 100 workstation and was successful in echoing a phone number to a modem. However, I need to use a direct connection from the SunBlade 100 workstation.
Currently, Windows 2000 workstations are used with
Hyperterminal to connect to routers and the PIX Security Appliance. I have 24 SunBlade workstations in my classroom and need to use them to connect to the console port on Cisco routers, and the PIX Security Appliance. I would appreciate any help anyone might be able to give on this subject.

Hello Namit and Rahul,
Here are few questions that came in directly during your live webcast hence posting them here so that users can benifit:
1)      How is ASA CX different from other UTM solutions ?
2)      How is dynamic application inspection of CX better than other inspection engines ?
3)      What features or functionalities on the CX are available by default ?
4)      what are the different ways we can run or install CX on the ASA platform ?
5)      What VPN features are supported with multi context ASA in the 9.x release ?
6)      What are the IPv6 Enhancements in the ASA version 9.x ?
Request you to please provide your responses to them individually.
Thanks.

Cisco PIX SIP Issue

Hello All,
I am having an issue with running SIP through my Cisco Pix. A VOIP solution has just been installed, and softphones from the outside are trying to call in using SIP and are failing. The configuration is below. and the code is 6.3 (5). You'll see below that I have the no fixup protocol for sip, as the fixup wasn't working either. Is there something that needs to be configured that I'm missing or could this be a bug in the code? Any other show commands or debug commands I can provide if needed. The call manager server in the below config is 1.2.3.4. Thanks in advance for all your help, you guys are always so helpful.

Hi Jumora,
No need to troubleshoot this direct issue anymore. The client will be upgrading to an ASA 5505. Is there anything you may know of before I configure the ASA that I need to do to allow SIP through with no issues? Thanks again Jumora

Cisco PIX-515e reset to factory defaults

Hi,
I have a cisco PIX-515e which i have connected to a emulator through the console port, and im having trouble erasing data from it.
I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,

this is a little late over a year, you probably alreay figured it out. in monitor mode.
set your interface
monitor> int 0          (this doesnt matter much as long as the interface is valid)
next set the ip address of our pix
monitor> add 192.168.1.50     (this just sets the pix int 0 to this ip address)
now set the tftp server
monitor> server 192.168.1.79     (this is the ip address of my pc with a tftp server)
set the gateway
monitor> gateway 0.0.0.0      (i had much trouble with this but until i set the gateway to this it didnt work)
now back to your pc assuming you have a tftp server installed.
download the necessary recover tool at (subject to change probably) make sure you put it in your default directory of your tftp server.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_password_recovery09186a008009478b.shtml
this is key probably
if you have the wrong tool the image will download successfully to your pix but it will not do anything just stop
after the file has been received.
so if your unsure try all the images.
now back to the pix
to initiate a file download you have to declare it so
monitor> file np62.bin
and then to start the download
monitor> tftp
see below.... (entire session via console cable)
monitor> int 0
0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10)
1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11)
Using 0: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10), MAC:
monitor> add 192.168.1.50
address 192.168.1.50
monitor> server 192.168.1.79
server 192.168.1.79
monitor> gateway 0.0.0.0
gateway 0.0.0.0

Cisco PIX-515e reset to factory defaults *Expert Advice Only Please*

Hi,
I have a cisco PIX-515e which i have connected to a emulator through the console port, and im having trouble erasing data from it.
I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
When i last posted this i had alot of replies mentioning ROMMON mode but i want to stress the PIX 515e does not have ROMMON mode it has MONITOR mode however the commands are not the same as ROMMON commands.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cisco PIX 515E multiple ISP support in a VPN scenario

Iam currently running a cisco 7.2 ios in a Cisco PIX 515E appliance. I have terminated two ISP links in the two ports, and I also have a inside network (LAN). I want to establish 2 Site-Site VPN tunnels using each one of these ISP links respectively (Site 1 in ISP link 1 && Site 2 in ISP link 2).
Is this possible to achieve??

Hello,
This should work. Route the remote endpoint for site 1 out link 1 (using a static route) and for site 2 out link 2 (using a static route) and that should do it.
Return traffic should work, assuming both ISPs aren't advertising the networks your interfaces are on via BGP (ie, you don't want return traffic from site one coming down the link to site 2 because that ISP is advertising that AS as well.)

Linksys WRT600N vs CISCO PIX 506E.... Firewall / Routing Performance

Hi:
I am new to the forum and was hoping to tap into some of your expertise. I have a Linksys WRT600N version 1.1 and I recently acquired a CISCO PIX 506E firewall. My question is what should I use as a firewall? Both have SPI etc. Should I:
a) Use the 506E as a firewall and use the 600 as a wireless access point, or
b) Use the 600 as a firewall and wireless access point.
Do both routers have the same firewall routing performance? I want to use the storage feautre on the 600N, but if I do that and use it as a wireless access point the 600 can't get the proper time from the Internet, so my time for newly created folders and files shows they are 10 years old.
Anyway, just thought I would post and find out what some of the experts thought and maybe someone from Linksys or CISCO. I know the 506E is discontinued and was manufactured around 2001 and the 600N is a new model.
(Edited subject to keep threads from stretching. Thanks!)

The PIX is a real firewall. The WRT has a firewall which mostly protects the router itself. People prefer to buy a "SPI firewall router" instead of a simple "router" even though the router firewall does nothing or little to protect the LAN. The only firewall configurations on the WRTs you can usually do is on the Access Restrictions tab. But that's usually all. The LAN itself is not protected by the firewall. You would notice this if you had a public IP subnet and ran it through the WRT: the LAN would be fully exposed to the internet. Some routers have a few functions like protection against denial of service attacks or similar. But even then this often filters only the traffic targeted at the router and not the LAN.
The common protection of your LAN you have on the WRT is because you use private IP addresses inside your LAN and the router does NAT. However, NAT is not a security mechanism but a mechanism to solve the problem that you can only have a single public IP address but want to use multiple computers, which is why you have to use private IP addresses. Current NAT implementations usually drop unsolicited incoming traffic because they don't know to which IP address in the LAN to send it to. But the notion of NAT is to deliver and to allow connectivity. This has nothing to do with security or a firewall.
Thus, if you want to use a real firewall use the PIX. On the PIX you can configure the traffic which is allowed to enter the LAN and which not. It is far superior in this respect to the WRT. However, as it is a older model, I cannot tell how fast the PIX is. You should be able to find the old data sheets of the PIX somewhere on the cisco website. They should mention the possible throughput. I guess it won't be an issue.
To me another point for the PIX are the VPN capabilities which allow you to securely access your LAN while you are on the road.
Of course, you must know how to configure the PIX correctly. It is a complex device and can be configured pretty much for anything you like. This means of course if you do it wrong you may end up with little or no security.
BTW, there are no people from linksys in this forums except the moderators (which may be from lithium). To hear from Linksys you have to contact Linksys support.

These are the following commands I applied in my Router, It is able to connect but unable to access any other servers. The same user name & password I tried with the VPN dialer it works on my Laptop. Anything I am missing on the router configuration. The VPN server is Cisco PIX 515E.
Cisco IOS on 871W is 12.3(8)Y12

1) Isn't your default route supposed to be pointing towards the external interface?
ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 ?
2) Can you change the 'mode client' to 'mode network-extension'. Also the PIX will need 'nem enable'.
Have a look at the following (I'm assuming you already have as your config seems to be similar):

For old 6.x code on PIX, have a look at:

Oracle 8i through CISCO PIX Firewall

HI all,
I Need some help here with CISCO PIX Firewall 506e series. The ORACLE Server 8i on Windows NT.4, placed at the inside interface of PIX Firewall.
The Firewall has been configured to allow all the port to come from outside interface (this is where the Oracle client reside). When the client from outside try the oracle client application (where the login promt for username and password) when pressed enter the error msg
=============================
oracle error con 440
unable to make connection oracle - 12514 tns.couldn't resolve service name
the menu was not connectable with oracle. a menu is ended
==============================
Many thanks for PIX and Oracle config.

Varun,
Thank you for your help.
I have one quick question, this pix is not in failover, it is standalone but it has Unrestricted license. It only has 64Mb of Ram. Will I have any problems based on your link recommendation?
Memory Requirements:
If you are using a PIX 515/515E running PIX Version 6.2/6.3, you must increase your memory before upgrading to PIX Version 8.0(2). This version requires at least 64 MB of RAM for Restricted (R) licenses and 128 MB of RAM for Unrestricted (UR) and Failover (FO) licenses
What is the difference between the restricted Licenses and the Unrestricted Licenses?
Thanks!

Amazon S3 Backup with Cisco PIX 501 Router - slowww

We are in the process of setting up an Amazon S3 network backup of the NAS server we have in our office. We are using a Synology NAS to backup to Amazon s3, and we use a Cisco PIX 501 to secure our network. The backup from the NAS to Amazon is going painfully slow, so I contacted Synology to resolve the issue. After they examined everything, they think the router is filtering outbound traffic, and this is causing the upload to slow down. I was told the upload should happen over HTTP and HTTPS, and I made sure these ports where open through the Access Rules. There are no rules defined in the Filter Settings.
I looked at the settings with the PDM, and I can't find where the filtering would be. Does someone have any insight to what could be happening? I'm not too familiar with the PIX or all the network settings involved.
Thanks!
