RE: PIX Questions [7:65806]
The pix does have limited routing functionality. It can route packets but it's not it's primary purpose. It's primary purpose is however NAT / PAT / stateful inspection etc... With that said it can perform NAT/PAT in realtime, much faster than a router which has a multitude of functions to perform, whereas the pix is more focused on specific functions.

Is PIX a Router? 2. How different is a PIX and Router in handling NAT & PAT? For the 2nd question is I have a pix and 5 valid ips (range) for my internal network to access the internet. It allows only 3 machines at any time to Access the internet I added a global command and all machines are able to access the internet. Can anyone throw some light on how PIX handles PAT and how different it is from a router Handling PAT?

I'm afraid I have to disagree. The Pix is a router. Basically, any device that will forward packets between different subnets is a router. > > To answer your 2nd question, there is no functional difference between the > IOS and PIX doing nat/pat.

Re: PIX Questions [7:65806]
And for IOS nat'ing you can use policy routing to determine egress interface and thus NAT pool, which determines source address of outgoing traffic, which can be useful in controlling inbound traffic flow. YMMV But, this can be very useful when you are trying to do network gymnastics or inflict pain on a support team.
