OT - Pix Firewalls
This is off topic, but since you mentioned Pix Firewalls, thought this would be a good place to ask. Our new network manager has ordered a Pix Firewall. We will be dropping our managed security and doing this ourselves. It will be a great learning experience, but none of us have ever worked with this product, or handledsecurity, FTM. Can anyone point me to some good learning material on how to configure and manage a Pix Firewall? Karen Palmer SCJD List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: OT - Pix Firewalls
Marks suggestion is a good one. The information is good. If you have not worked with IOS and/or the cmd line for a while then you really need to take a PIX class. They are two days long but will make setup and managing go well. PIX (IMO) seem to need a lot of love and care so having some sort of PIX person handy will be probably be appreciated. Also make sure you are running the latest IOS and save images to a secure and backuped machine. ellery -Original Message- From: Karen Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 9:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OT - Pix Firewalls This is off topic, but since you mentioned Pix Firewalls, thought this would be a good place to ask.

Make sure you purchase the maintenance, Cisco has a very good support but it is only available during the warranty period (90 days) or if you have purchased a maintenance contract. Check out their web site for documentation as well as information on PIX training. Randy Hensel, MCP, Network Systems Administrator Coffey Communications, Inc.

RE: OT - Pix Firewalls
Make sure you use make this change in your PIX "IF" you're running Exchange 5.x or greater. It looks like your a college.. so I suspect you're not using Exchange. but here ya go just in case.. at PIX command line: "Conduit Permit tcp host x.x.x.x (the IP address of your Exchange server, the public one that is) eq smtp any" this will correctan EMSTP issue between the PIX and the Exchange server Just telnet to the PIX box... don't forget to WRITEMEM to save your changes to the config. -Rick -Original Message-From: Karen Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 8:21 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: OT - Pix Firewalls Don't know Cisco IOS.

Get the Cisco Press DCN book and router sim program. The router simulation software will show you how to use IOS with Cisco Routers/Switches/Firewalls. -Original Message- From: Karen Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:21 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT - Pix Firewalls Don't know Cisco IOS.

These items are on our state purchasing contract, which does provide a price break. We will get a brief training session, but I am not sure that "brief" will be comprehensive enough for newbies who have never touched routers or Cisco Pix firewalls. However, it will have to serve, since there is no money for training. -Original Message-From: Mark Kelsay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 11:58 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: OT - Pix Firewalls Who are you buying these items from?

RE: OT - Pix Firewalls
I was not part of the decision-making process. We are standardizing on Cisco equipment, so that probably played a part in the decision. As to why we are moving from a managed BSD/Gauntlet firewall, I believe that our network manager wants to save money. -Original Message-From: Ellery July [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 2:39 PMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: OT - Pix Firewalls Pix are not for do it yourself people unless you have lots of time.
