There has only been one Model release of the PIX 501 to my knowledge (this puppy has only been out since early September of this year)- and those 4 10/100 ports represent a 4 port Switch for (Inside) use only- But from documentations' reading, that doesn't infer that you can assign multiple net id's to the inside ports.
You can probably still add a Secondary IP (I don't know if this is even legal on the PIX due to lack of experience) to the (Inside) "interface" and then create different NAT pools from that, but from first thorough look, it looks like they just added 3 extra ports for convenience. From what I understand, its like a 506 (No DMZ ability), but you get the added 4-Port Switch integrated into it. Ole- As soon as possible, I'll be dropping you a line to take you up on that $495 offer. Have a great week! Also, Happy ThanksGiving to all that celebrate!

This could be a newer model, but this one with 10 users and 3DES encryption license, can be bought from new for $495.- Hth, Ole ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNP, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

It only has two interfaces. If you want to add another segment to your network (i.e. DMZ) then you have no choice but to upgrade to either a 515 or higher. Other than that, the PIX IOS code is the same through out the PIX Series (with the exception that for the 501 and 506 you don't have redundancy (fail-over support). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Lee" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 9:57 AM Subject: Re: PIX 501 [7:27002] > Has anyone used this PIX yet ? > > There were some discussions about this topic 2 weeks(?) ago but none of the > participants to the discussion has had any actual hand-on experience with > the PIX 501 at that time. > > I got a quote from our supplier for a new PIX DES bundle with 10 user > licence for less than $500.00.
