RE: Cisco quot;Frankenquot; Pix Firewall [7:51061]

2002-08-09 Thread Sabertech Networks

In spite of all the urban legends to the contrary, there is no law against
buying a computer, buying a card, putting the card in the computer
and selling it.  You own both parts, do whatever you want, it's
a free country.

Last week I bought a Pentium 3 machine, added an Intel
NIC and I will sell it next week.  I'm serious, so
now is the time to report this crime to Intel.

The herd will say it's illegal and make lots of scary
references to past legal action by Cisco in such cases,
but NO ONE AS EVER PROVED that it has happened.

Ghost stories.

First off, a 501 costs $400 and will teach you everything
except DMZ interfaces and Fail Over, each subject can be mastered
in about five minutes.

Secondly, a Franken Pix has no commercial value, I really
don't think that I'm going to give my customers the choice
of securing their networks with a cool Franken PIX that
I assembled with various junk parts.  That's silly.

Here's a good analogy, say I start buying old junk cars,
then I pay $20,000 each for factory built Mercedes Benz
engines, I put them in my junk cars and sell them.  Is Mercedes
Benz going to worry about my Franken Benz?

Hopefully someone in this group can help me answer it.

I purchased a couple of ISA Pix Flash card on the Internet last year to
build

a couple of clone pix firewalls so that I can get hand-on experience
with

the platforms.  I built two pix firewalls out of two Dell PII 233MHz box and

they work great just like a regular Pix 520.  Twelve months later, I have to
say

I've become an expert with Pix firewalls that I otherwise would not have
been

able to achieve had it not been for these two Pix clones.  These two clone

pix firewalls are running version 6.2(2) with PDM 2.0(2).

Here is my question.  I am pretty sure that it is illegal for me to sell
these

clone pix firewall (please confirm); however, can I sell just the Pix
Flash card

without the dell machine?

Personally, I think this could be a great resource for

someone who would like to learn Pix firewall.  I just don't think the Pix
501 and 506

is adequate for someone to learn everything there is to learn about Pix
because

two interfaces are just not enough.  You need to have at least three
interfaces so

that you can mimic a real production environment and frankly these clone
pix520

firewall can provide up to six interfaces which work just great.  I don't
care what

anybody say, after playing these clones for the past 12 months, 7 days a
week, I

can definitely say with confidence that you can learn a hell lot more with
more than

just inside and outside interfaces.

Scott,
Thanks for setting me straight, I forgot about the legal
concept of intention and design.  When I buy a hamburger
at McDonalds, they intended that I eat it, it was designed for that
purpose, if use it as a paper weight, I'm according to you, committing
a crime.

That part about the prison really scared me though, I guess
I'd better stop all this independent thinking and rejoin
the herd.

Party on...Richard

And you believe it's smart to box with Cisco's lawyers why?

If you tried to sell your Franken Benz as something that performs
exactly like a Mercedes Benz and runs the same software and commands and
everything else but the outer shell, then I'd be willing to bet
Mercedes would kick you around the courtroom too.

Intel's NICs are a commodity designed to go with computers of any
variety.  PIX Flash cards are not.  PIX Flash cards are designed to go
in Cisco's PIX boxes.  Period.  No grey area.

Knock yourself out, study how you will and quit arguing about the stupid
point.  Sell your franken-pix as such if you want, and write me from
your prison's AOL account telling me that I was right. :)

Get back to studying useful things.

RE: PIX Question [7:51095]

2002-08-09 Thread Sabertech Networks

You're talking about NAT 0.
The default gateway address will be the same address
as the default outside route on the PIX: either it will
be your Bastion Router or your ISPs router.

Hi All,

I have got a PIX firewall with two interfaces, the outside interface has a
public IP address and
inside a private IP address. I will need to connect a server with a public
IP address.
I know that the PIX firewall can be configured not to NAT a specific IP
address.

Can I connect a server with a public IP address on the inside interface of
the PIX ?
If yes, what will be the default gateway, the inside or the outside
interface of the PIX ?

Thanks in advance.

Zahid

Can someone please tell me why if you only set an enable password on a
router like
enable password password

and then
set the line vty 0 4
line vty 0 4
 exec-timeout 0 0
 password 7 00131C140F0F09030A330D
 logging synchronous
 login local

You get prompted for a username coming in from a telnet session when no
username is set ?
So then I would have to do

username user privledge 15 password password

to allow access through telnet?


I dont understand that behavior.
Thanks,

People, you're making it way too difficult,
just sell the FrankenPIX without the software!
SHEESSS!

Who doesn't have a copy of PIX OS?

I love all this Guilty of theft stuff!  Only a Court
of Law can determine if someone is Guilty of Theft..
This Powerless against Cisco attitude is very cool,
I'm gonna have that slogan put on some Tee-Shirts!

I must say, the Herd is as predictable as ever...

Party on!

..Richard


Cisco Software is NON-TRANSFERABLE.
Unless you bought the software license for the PIX from Cisco you are guilty
of theft. Owning an ISA card doesn't give you the right for the software.
The new owner would also be required to purchase a software license. Cisco
is under no obligation to sell you software and the license they sell you is
revocable, so they could choose to revoke the license you purchased, or just
flatly refuse to sell you one in the first place.

You really are that powerless against Cisco, you really need to read the
software agreement again.
It really is black and white.

Thanks

Larry
