PIX doesn't support multiple ip's on interfaces. If you have an extra
interface on the pix available you can make that interface outside2 with a
sec level of like 5. Apply the nat and corresponding global pools to that
interface. Then add a second default route out the with a metric of like 5.
Theoretically it should failover to the second interface, but it's hit and
miss from what I have dealt with.

Subject: Pix Question


Hello All,

Thanks in advance to those who reply.

I have run into a situation where I am transferring ISPs.  The original
ISP
is passing the IP information through the serial connection to the
ethernet
interface.

My PIX firewall is then connected to this interface via a hub and we use
net
for the other addresses in our subnet.

My question is this:

Since I do not wish to purchase another router or firewall for the new
connection BUT I need them both up at the same time temporarily how do I
do
this?

I am think that I can assign a second network to the ethernet interface
of
the router without any problem.  Does anyone know if the Pix can have
two
external networks bound to the same interface?  I would think it
possible
since people have multiple subnets sometimes from the same provider.  If
anyone has any thoughts please let me know.

Thanks!

Mike
