PIX 6.x : Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically addressed PIX Firewall and the dynamically addressed IOS Router with NAT Configuration Example
Available Languages
Contents
Introduction
This document provides a sample configuration for how to enable the PIX to accept dynamic IPsec connections. The remote router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) if private network 10.1.1.x accesses the Internet. Traffic from 10.1.1.x to private network 192.168.1.x behind the PIX is excluded from the NAT process. The router can initiate connections to the PIX, but the PIX cannot initiate connections to the router.
This configuration uses a PIX firewall in order to create dynamic IPsec LAN-to-LAN (L2L) tunnels with a Cisco IOS® router that receives dynamic IP addresses on their public interface (outside interface). Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism in order to allocate IP addresses dynamically from the service provider (ISP). This allows IP addresses to be reused when hosts no longer need them.
Refer to Router-to-PIX Dynamic-to-Static IPsec with NAT Configuration Example for more information on a scenario where the router accepts dynamic IPsec connections from a PIX Security Appliance that runs 6.x.
Refer to IPsec Between a Static IOS Router and a Dynamic PIX/ASA 7.x with NAT Configuration Example in order to enable the PIX/ASA Security Appliance to accept dynamic IPsec connections from the Cisco IOS router.
Refer to IPsec Between a Static PIX/ASA 7.x and a Dynamic IOS Router with NAT Configuration Example in order to learn more about the same scenario where the PIX/ASA Security Appliance runs software version 7.x and later.
