4 2 Install the PIX 515E Follow these steps to install the PIX 515E: Step 1 Install th e rubber feet onto the five, round, recessed ar eas on the bottom of the chassis . Note The chassis is also rack-mountable. For rack -mounting and failover instructions, refer to the Cisco PIX Firewall Hardware Installation Guide .
5 3 Configure the PIX 515E The PIX 515E comes with a factory-default configur ation that meets the needs of most small and me d iu m bu s i ne s s networking environments. A defaul t DHCP server address pool is included for hosts on th e i ns id e in te rf ac e.
6 Step 4 T o access the Startup Wizard, use the PC connected to the switch or hub and enter the URL https://192.168.1.1/startup.html into your Internet browser . Note Remember to add the “ s ” in “ https ” or the connection fails. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) provides a secure connection between y our browser and the PIX 515E.
7 Step 1 Manage IP Pools fo r Network Translations For an inside HTTP client (10.10.10.10) to access the web server on the DMZ network (30.30.30.30), it is necessary to define an IP pool (30.30.30.50–30. 30.30.60) for the DMZ interface. Similarly , an IP pool for the outside interface (209.
8 c. Select the T ransl ation Rules tab. d. Click the Manage Pools button and a new window appears, all owing you to add or edit global address pools. Note For most configurations, global pools are adde d to the less secure, or public, interfaces. In the Manage Global Address Po ols window: a.
9 b. Click the Range radio button to enter the IP address range. c. Because the range o f IP addresses for the DMZ interface i s 30.30.30.50– 30.30.30.60 , enter these values in the two fields. d. Enter a unique Pool ID (in this case, enter 200 ). e.
10 When the new window comes up: a. Select outside from th e Interface drop-down menu. b. Click the Port Address T ransl ation (P A T) using the IP address of the interface radio button. c. Assign the same Pool ID for this pool as in Step d a bove (200).
11 Step 2 Configure Address Trans lations on Private Networks Network Address T ranslation (NA T) replaces the so urce IP ad dresses of network traffic traversing between two PIX interfaces. This tr anslation prevents the private address space s from being exposed on public networ ks and permits routing through t he public networks.
12 b. Right click in the gray area below the Manage Pools button a nd select Add . c. In the new window , select the inside interface. d. Enter the IP address of the client (10.10.10.10). e. Select 255.255.255.255 from the Mask drop-down menu. Note Y ou can sele ct the inside host by clicking on the Browse bu tton.
13 Note Enter the entire network range (10.10.10.0) or select the network using the Browse button and select the Pool ID if there are multiple HTTP clients.
14 j. Click the OK button. k. Click the Proceed button. Check the displayed configu ration for accuracy . l. Click the Apply butt on to configure the PIX Firewall. Repeat the steps to configure inte rface P A T between the inside and outside interfaces.
15 Step 3 Configure Ext ernal Identity for the DMZ Web Server The DMZ server is easily accessible by al l hosts on the Internet. This configuration requires tran slating the DMZ server IP address so that it appears to be located on the Internet, enabling outside HTTP clients to access it unaware of the firewall.
16 The configurations should display as show n below:.
17 Step 4 Provide HTTP Access to the DMZ Web Server In addition to configuring address translations, you must configure the PIX 515E to allow the specific traffic types from the public networks. T o configure access lists for HTTP tra ffic originating from any client on the Internet to the DMZ web server , complete the following: a.
18 The Edit Rule window opens up, allowin g you to select the ACL rules to permit/deny traffic. a. Under Action, select permit from the drop-down menu to allow traffic throu gh the firewall. b. Under Source Host/Network, click the IP Address radio button.
19 d. Enter the Source Host/Network information (0.0.0.0 for any host or network). e. Under Destination Host/Network, click th e IP Address radio button. f. Select dmz from the Interface drop-down menu. g. Enter 30.30.30.30 in the IP address box. h. Select 255.
20 The configurations should display as show n below: The HTTP clients on the private and public netw orks can now securely access the DMZ web server .
21 PDM provides an easy-to-use VPN Wizard that can quickly guide you through the process of configuring a site-to-site VPN in fi ve simple steps. The illustration below sho ws an example VPN tunnel between two PIX 515E, and will be referenced in the following steps.
22 Step 2 Configure the VPN Peer a. Enter the Peer IP Address (PIX 2) and select an authentication key (for example,“CisCo”), which is shared for IPSec negotiations between both PIX 515E units. Note T o configure PIX 2, enter the IP address fo r PIX 1 (1.
23.
24 Step 3 Configure the IKE Policy This step is comprised of two windows: 1. Configure the IKE negotiation parameters. In most case s, the defaul t values are suf ficient to establish secure VPN tunnels between two peers.
25 2. Configure the IPSec parameters. a. In the second window , select the Encryption algorithm (DES/3D ES/AES) and Authentication algorithm (MD5/SHA). Confirm all values before continuing to the next window . Note When configuring PIX 2, enter the exact same values for each of the options that you selected for PIX 1.
26 Step 4 Configure Internal Traffic This step is comprised of two window s: 1. Select network traffic on the local PI X 515E encrypted through the VPN tunnel. a. Select the Local Host/Network based on the IP Address, Name, or Group. Note Use the Browse button to select from preconfigured groups.
27 2. Select traffic permitted fr om the remote PIX Firewall. a. In the second window , select VPN traffic for re mote network configuration. For PIX 1, the remote network is Network B ( 20.20.20.0) so traffic encrypted from this tunnel is permitted through the tunnel.
28 Step 5 View and Enable VPN Commands If you enabled preview comman ds, you w ill see this page: T o enable preview command s: a. In the main PDM page, select Options. b. Select Preferenc es and check the Preview commands before sending to firewall box.

32 Alternative Ways to Access the PIX 515E Y ou can access the CL I for administration using the console port on the PIX Firewall. T o do so, you must run a serial terminal emulator on a PC or worksta tion .
33 • If your PIX 515E has one or two sin gle-port Ethernet circuit boards installed in the auxiliary assembly on the left of the unit a t the rear , the circuit boards are numbered top to bottom so that the top circuit board is Ethernet 2 and the bottom circuit board is Ethernet 3.
34 Step 3 Connect the inside, outside, or perimeter network cables to the interface ports. Starting from the top left, the connectors are Ethernet 2 , Ethernet 3, Ethernet 4, and Ethernet 5. Th e maximum number of allowed interfaces is six with an unrestricted license.
