If you add the Firewall Feature Set to the 262X you essentially have a
firewall. This actually gives you all of the functionality of the PIX and
more, but of course the drawback is throughput. Bear in mind that when
configuring them from scratch, the PIX has a default configuration of being
completely locked down which is completely opposite from a router. Get your
access lists in place before putting the firewall router online.
