Hello, My PIX is sitting directly on the internet. The cat5 connection from ISP is connected to external (ethernet) inerface of PIX. The inside(ethernet) interface is conneted to switch. From this switch internal network is connected. I have another Firewall appliance with 2 ethernet inerface which needs to be connected in parallel to PIX. Can anybody give some hints as how these connections are to made? I am thinking just to connect ISP connection to an ordinary hub & from there take two connections to outside interface for both firewall. Connect inside interface of both firewall to same switch. Is this right way of doing it? My only concern is can both outside interface of firewall be connected on on same hub? In fact External IPs for both & default gateway fall in same subnet. OR is there a requirement of any kind of a router or switch? Both firewalls need to be in parallel. One can't sit behind other OR can't be in DMZ of other. Thanks a lot for any advices....... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
