Configure PIX Firewall using the commands that follow. You can enter commands from your console computer or terminal, or through Telnet or the HTML management interface.
Help information is available by entering a question mark by itself for a listing of all commands, or with a command for command syntax. For example:
pixfirewall> int ? usage: interface ethernet inside|outside 10baseT|100baseTX|auto
You can add comments to your configuration by entering a colon (:) as the first command in a line. Use comments to improve configuration file readability or to make configuration file commands not executable.
You can abbreviate most commands down to the fewest unique characters for a command; for example, you can enter write t to view the configuration instead of entering the full command write terminal, or you can enter en (enable) to start privileged mode and conf t (configure terminal) to start configuration mode.
To simplify the PIX Firewall interface, the "Type '?' for a list of commands" message displays for a variety of reasons:
pixfirewall(config)# hostname ? usage: hostname <newname>
Sets Private Link key duration. (Configuration mode.)
age minutes| minutes | Duration in minutes that a Private Link key is used to encrypt information on the connection. If you enter 0, the duration is set to 10 minutes. The maximum duration is 1215752191 minutes (2345 years). |
The age command specifies the length of time in minutes that a key is active over Private Link. Private Link supports up to seven keys that it selects sequentially to ensure additional security.
See also: link, show age.
pixfirewall(config)# age 0 pixfirewall(config)# show age Private Link Key Aging: 10 minutes
Apply outbound access list to an IP address. (Configuration mode.)
apply number outgoing_src|outgoing_destThe apply command applies the outbound list parameters to permit or deny access from an IP address in your inside network to an IP address in the outside network. Use outbound lists to permit or deny access to system ports.
See also: clear apply, no apply, outbound, show apply, show outbound.
pixfirewall(config)# apply 1 192.168.42.42 10.10.10.42
Add entry to PIX Firewall ARP table. (Configuration mode.)
arp inside|outside ip_address mac_address [alias]The arp command adds an entry to the PIX Firewall ARP table. ARP is a low-level TCP/IP protocol that resolves a node's physical address from its IP address through an ARP request asking the node with a particular IP address to send back its physical address.
See also: clear arp, no arp, show arp.
pixfirewall(config)# arp 192.168.0.42 0000.0101.0202 pixfirewall(config)# arp 192.168.0.43 0000.0101.0203 alias
Change PIX Firewall ARP table entry duration. (Configuration mode.)
arp timeout seconds| seconds | Duration that an ARP entry can exist in the ARP table before being cleared. |
The arp timeout command sets the duration that an ARP entry can stay in the PIX Firewall ARP table before expiring. The timer is known as the ARP persistence timer. The default value is
14400 seconds (4 hours).
See also: show arp timeout
pixfirewall(config)# arp timeout 42 pixfirewall(config)# show arp timeout arp timeout 42 seconds
Enable PIX Firewall user authentication. (Configuration mode.)
auth inside|outside inside
| Specifies that you require authentication for connections originating on your local network (inside the PIX Firewall). |
outside
| Specifies that you require authentication for connections originating on the outside of the PIX Firewall. |
The auth command enables PIX Firewall authentication. The no auth command disables authentication. With the inside or outside argument, you can enable or disable authentication on one side of the PIX Firewall or the other. Without arguments, you can enable or disable authentication on both sides.
For outside connections, a challenge prompt appears during FTP or Telnet sessions as defined by the type of authentication server.
Authorization notes:
authentication_username@remote_system_username
authentication_password@remote_system_password
pixfirewall(config)# auth inside
Specify IP address of authentication server. (Configuration mode.)
auth-server type server_ip[-server_ip] skeyThe auth-server command lets you identify the IP address of the authentication server. The authentication server must be on the inside PIX Firewall network interface.
Defines a server for the specified authentication server type. PIX Firewall tries each server in order until it receives an answer for the type of authentication you specify. Refer to the previous auth command description for more information on authentication.
pixfirewall(config)# auth-server radius 192.168.42.20-192.168.42.42
Specify IP address of authentication user. (Configuration mode.)
auth-user type ip_address netmask type
| Authentication type: radius or tacacs+ |
ip_address
| IP address from which or to which access is authenticated. If you want every system in your network to authenticate to this type of server, use 0.0.0.0 for the IP address. You can specify a network IP address by entering zero in each octet of the host portion of the IP address; for example, for a class C address, code 0 in the last octet, such as 192.168.42.0. |
netmask
| Network mask of ip_address. Always specify a specific mask value. If you want to limit authentication to a single IP address use 255 in each octet; for example, 255.255.255.255. |
The auth-user command lets you provide authentication services for an IP address. For outbound connections, use of auth-user indicates that anyone on the IP address you specify must use authentication when using Telnet, FTP, or HTTP. For inbound connections, auth-user indicates that anyone attempting to access the specified IP address with FTP, Telnet, or HTTP must use authentication.
Refer to the previous auth command description for more information on authentication.
See Also: auth, no auth-user, show auth-user
pixfirewall(config)# auth-user radius 192.168.42.1 255.255.255.0
Clear previous apply of outbound access lists to an IP address. (Configuration mode.)
clear apply number [outgoing_src|outgoing_dest]| number | An outbound access list identification number previously created with the outbound command. |
| outgoing_src | Examines the source address on packets traversing the PIX Firewall for access list enforcement. Limits access for an inside network address. For example, specify outgoing_src if you want to deny an inside user access to an external web site. |
| outgoing_dest | Examines the destination address on packets traversing the PIX Firewall for access list enforcement. Limits access to a particular IP address and service on the Internet. For example, specify outgoing_dest to prevent inside users from accessing a particular external web site. |
The clear apply command clears an outbound access list created by a previous use of apply.
See also: apply, no apply, show apply.
pixfirewall(config)# clear apply
Clear PIX Firewall ARP table entry. (Privileged mode.)
clear arp inside|outside [ip_address mac_address alias]| inside | PIX Firewall inside network interface ARP table. |
| outside | PIX Firewall outside network interface ARP table. |
| ip_address | IP address. |
| mac_address | Hardware MAC address for the ARP table entry. |
| alias | An ARP entry for one host that points to another. These entries are not cleared from the PIX Firewall ARP table during reboots. |
The clear arp command clears the PIX Firewall ARP table. To remove alias entries, specify the alias keyword. You may clear entries by IP or MAC address.
This command is the same as no arp.
See also: arp, no arp, show arp.
pixfirewall# clear arp inside
Remove authentication support for IP address. (Configuration mode.)
clear auth-usertype ip_address netmask
type
| Authentication type: radius or tacacs+. |
ip_address
| IP address from which or to which access is directed depending on whether the connection is inbound or outbound. |
netmask
| Network mask of ip_address. Always specify a specific mask value. If you want to limit access to a single IP address use 255 in each octet; for example, 255.255.255.255. |
The clear auth-user command removes authentication access for an IP address. You can remove all access by not specifying options, or you can remove access by authentication type, such as TACACS+, or by type and IP address.
pixfirewall(config)# clear auth-user tacacs+
Stop authentication access to a server. (Configuration mode.)
clear auth-servertype server_ip skey
| type | Authentication type: radius or tacacs+ |
| server_ip | The IP address of the authentication server. |
| skey | An alphanumeric keyword of up to 127 characters defined by what the authentication server accepts. This is a public key between the client and server for encrypting data between them. The skey value must be the same on both the client and server systems. |
The clear auth-server command specifies that an authentication server is no longer servicing authentication requests. Use this command when you take an authentication server offline or have changed your network topology.
You can remove access to all authentication servers by not specifying options, or you can remove access by authentication type, such as TACACS+, or by type and server IP address.
pixfirewall(config)# clear auth-server
Remove HTTP access to the PIX Firewall HTML management interface from the specified IP address or all IP addresses. (Configuration mode.)
clear httpip_address [netmask]
| ip_address | IP address of systems on the inside of the PIX Firewall that are able to access the HTML management interface. You can give access to a maximum of 16 IP addresses. |
| netmask | Network mask of ip_address. |
The clear http command removes HTTP access to an IP address. This is the same as the no http command.
See also: http, show http.
pixfirewall(config)# clear http
Clear outbound access list. (Configuration mode.)
clear outbound num [permit|deny ip_address netmask port]| num | A tag number for the access list. |
permit
| Allow the access list to access the specified IP address and port. |
deny
| Deny the access list access to the specified IP address and port. |
| ip_address | The IP address for this access list entry. |
| netmask | The network mask for comparing with the IP address; 255.255.255.0 causes the access list to apply to an entire class C address. 0.0.0.0 disables all access. |
| port | A port or range of ports that the access list is permitted or denied access to; for example, 1-1024. |
The clear outbound command clears an outbound access list or specific details within it.
See also: apply, no outbound, outbound, show outbound.
pixfirewall(config)# clear outbound 1
Clear the inside or outside interface's routing table. (Configuration mode.)
clear route inside|outside [static]The clear route command clears the routing table for the specified interface. You can clear both routing tables by entering clear route without the inside or outside keywords. To clear static routes, use the static keyword. To remove an individual route without clearing the entire table, use the no route command.
See also: no route, route, show route
pixfirewall(config)# clear route inside static
Clear SNMP contact or location, or stop sending SNMP event information. (Configuration mode.)
clear snmp-server contact|location|host value| contact | Clear the contact information. |
| location | Clear the PIX Firewall location. |
| host | Stop sending SNMP event information. |
The clear snmp-server contact command deletes the contact information from that which is sent to the SNMP server. The clear snmp-server location command has the same effect for the location. Use these commands when you want to change the text in the contact or location fields; that is, by clearing it and then replacing the information with the snmp-server command.
The clear snmp-server host command stops sending SNMP traps, or you can specify one or more IP addresses to which SNMP traps are not sent.
Using SNMP, you can monitor system events on the PIX Firewall.
See also: no snmp-server, snmp-server, show snmp-server
pixfirewall(config)# clear snmp-server location
Stop logging SYSLOG messages. (Configuration mode.)
clear syslog console clear syslog host ip_address clear syslog output facility.level| ip_address | SYSLOG host IP address. |
| facility | Eight facilities LOCAL0(16) through LOCAL7(23); the default is LOCAL4(20). Hosts file the messages based on the facility number in the message. |
| level | Message type; sets the level above which PIX Firewall suppresses messages to the SYSLOG hosts. Setting the level to 3, for example, allows messages with levels 0, 1, 2, and 3 to display. The default is 3. The levels are:
|
The clear syslog console command disables SYSLOG messages on the console. The clear syslog host command disables sending SYSLOG messages to the specified host. The clear syslog output command stops sending all SYSLOG messages. This command is the same as no syslog.
See also: syslog, show syslog
pixfirewall(config)# clear syslog
Remove PIX Firewall Telnet access from user. (Configuration mode.)
clear telnet ip_address netmask| ip_address | The IP address or network of a host that is authorized to access the PIX Firewall Telnet management interface. |
| netmask | The netmask for the network specified in this Telnet command. This allows multiple machines on a particular IP subnet access to the PIX Firewall management interface. |
The clear telnet command removes Telnet access to an IP address. Up to 16 hosts or networks are allowed access to the PIX Firewall, 4 simultaneously. show telnet displays the current list of IP addresses authorized to access the PIX Firewall. You can use the who command to see which IP addresses are currently accessing the firewall with Telnet.
See also: show telnet, who
Add conduit through firewall for incoming connections. (Configuration mode.)
conduitglobal_ip port[-port] protocol ip_address [netmask]
The conduit command creates an exception to the PIX Firewall Adaptive Security mechanism by letting you permit connections from outside the PIX Firewall to hosts on the inside network. Conduits exist on the static translation slots and can be added with the conduit command or through the last parameter of the static command. The conduit command is the recommended method. The no conduit command removes the conduit you specify.
If a conduit is specified as, for example: conduit 192.1.1.1 tcp:192.1.2.2/32-0, the host 192.1.2.2 can access the inside host that is mapped to the global address 192.1.1.1 on any TCP port. The same syntax applies for UDP.
See also: no conduit, show conduit.
The following pair of commands enables only SMTP communication between the UNIX gateway host (10.10.25.10) and an SMTP server on the inside network (192.168.1.49):
pixfirewall(config)# static 10.10.26.147 192.168.1.49 pixfirewall(config)# conduit 10.10.26.147 tcp:10.10.25.10/32-25
To remove the last conduit, issue the following:
pixfirewall(config)# no conduit 10.10.26.147 tcp:10.10.25.10/32-25
Merge current configuration with that on floppy disk. (Privileged mode.)
configure floppyThe configure floppy command merges the current running configuration with the configuration stored on floppy disk. This command assumes that the floppy disk was previously created by the write floppy command.
Each statement on floppy disk is read into the current configuration and evaluated in the same way as commands entered from a keyboard with these rules:
pixfirewall# configure floppy
Merge configuration with that from flash memory. (Privileged mode.)
configure memoryThe configure memory command merges the configuration in flash memory into the current configuration in RAM. Each statement in flash memory is read into the current configuration and evaluated in the same way as commands entered from a keyboard with these rules:
pixfirewall# configure memory
Start configuration mode. (Privileged mode.)
configure terminalThe configure terminal command starts configuration mode. Exit configuration mode by pressing ^z. After exiting configuration mode, use write memory to store your changes in flash memory or write floppy to store the configuration on floppy disk. Use the write terminal command to display the current configuration.
pixfirewall# configure terminal
Exit privileged mode and return to unprivileged mode. (Privileged mode.)
disableThe disable command exits privileged mode and returns you to unprivileged mode. Use the enable command to return to privileged mode.
pixfirewall# disable pixfirewall>
Start privileged mode. (Unprivileged mode.)
enableThe enable command starts privileged mode. PIX Firewall prompts you for your privileged mode password. The default password is cisco. Use disable to exit privileged mode. Use enable password to change the password.
pixfirewall> enable Password: ####### pixfirewall# disable pixfirewall>
Set the privileged mode password. (Privileged mode.)
enable password password| password | A password of up to 16 alphanumeric characters, which is not case sensitive. PIX Firewall converts the password to all lowercase. |
The enable password command changes the privileged mode password, for which you are prompted after you enter the enable command. When the PIX Firewall starts and you enter privileged mode, the password prompt appears. The default password is cisco.
pixfirewall(config)# enable password fnord42
Enable access to the optional failover feature. (Configuration mode.)
failover [active] active
| Make a PIX Firewall the primary unit. This argument cannot be used in a configuration file. Only use this command when you need to force control of the connection back to the unit you are accessing, such as when you want to switch control back from a unit after you have fixed a problem and want to restore service to the primary unit. Either enter no failover active on the secondary unit to switch service to the primary or failover active on the primary unit. |
The failover command without an argument indicates that you have connected the optional failover cable from your primary PIX Firewall to a secondary PIX Firewall. Failover works by passing control to the secondary unit should the primary unit fail. The switch between units occurs within
60 seconds of the failure event. The markings on the cable let you choose which unit is primary and which is secondary. Refer to Installing the Failover Connector Assembly and Cable (Document Number 78-3749-01) supplied with the failover cable option for more information about upgrading an existing PIX Firewall unit to accept the failover cable.
Enable the failover feature by adding the failover command (without the active parameter) to the configuration files for both the primary and secondary PIX Firewalls.
When you use Telnet to access the PIX Firewall, only the active unit serves the connection. Use the hostname command on both units to identify a unique name for each unit. Using the host name, you can tell if you are communicating with the primary or secondary unit. If you are using Telnet when a failure occurs, you need to disconnect the Telnet session and restart it to the IP address.
If a failure occurs, the host name in the Telnet command prompt gives you positive acknowledgment that the secondary unit is active. In addition, SYSLOG messages indicate whether the primary or secondary unit failed. Use the show failover command to verify which unit is active.
Aside from the different host names, the configuration files for both units need to be identical.
If you want to force a PIX Firewall to be active or go to standby you can use the failover active or no failover active command. Use this feature to force a PIX Firewall offline for maintenance or to return a failed unit to service.
Use the show failover command to verify the status of the connection and to determine which unit is active.
In the messages that follow, P|S can be either Primary or Secondary depending on which PIX Firewall is sending the message. Failover messages always have a SYSLOG priority level of 2, which indicates critical condition. Refer to the syslog output command description for more information on SYSLOG messages.
The SYSLOG messages sent to record failover events are:
See also: no failover, show failover.
pixfirewall(config)# failover active
Define IP address in the global pool. (Configuration mode.)
global global_id ip_address| global_id | An identification number from 1 to 10 that groups global addresses for use by networks on the inside of the PIX Firewall. If there is a single network on the inside of the PIX Firewall, the global_id has no meaning and you use 1. |
| ip_address | One or more IP addresses that the PIX Firewall shares among its connections. Each IP address must be registered with the Network Information Center (NIC). You can specify a range of IP addresses by separating the starting and ending addresses with a dash (-). |
The global command defines the addresses in the global pool. Global pool addresses must be registered with the NIC; they provide an IP address for each incoming and outgoing connection. Always use the nat command with the global command to assign the global_id values to each network.
Configuring the PIX Firewall requires you to specify at least two global IP addresses with the global command. PIX Firewall uses the global addresses to assign a virtual IP address to a connection. When the translate times out (defined by the timeout command), the global address returns to the available pool. If the outside network connects with the Internet, each IP address you specify as a global must be registered with the NIC. The phrases global network and virtual network are synonymous in this document.
When you assign global addresses from the pool for Private Link, select addresses from the start of global pool range. The PIX Firewall allocates IP addresses from the global pool by starting at the end of the range you specify and working backward.
The minimum number of IP addresses you must add to the global pool is 2; for example, 10.10.26.10-10.10.26.11. The maximum is 1 class B network worth of IP addresses. It is not valid to add 1 address; for example, global 10.10.26.20.
Note that the IP addresses assigned to the global pool differ by class type. If you specify a class A address, such as 1.2.3.0, global assigns address 1.0.0.1 through 1.0.255.254 to the global pool; whereas, if you specify a class C address, such as 192.168.42.0, global assigns only the
254 addresses from .1 to .254.
If you are using the same subnet and want to share it between the outside network and the PIX Firewall virtual network, the PIX Firewall causes a proxy-arp for the global pool on the outside network. If you are using global networks that are disjoint from the outside network address, be certain that the networking equipment and computers have a routing table entry for the global network with a next hop of the outside interface of the PIX Firewall.
When you enter the global command and specify a network address, such as 192.168.42.0, the "Some globals not created" message appears if the addresses you requested could not be assigned to the global pool. The firewall cannot assign either the .0 address or the .255 address to the global pool. Use the show global command to view which IP addresses were created.
pixfirewall(config)# global 1 10.10.10.0
Display help information. (Unprivileged mode.)
help ?The help or ? command displays help information about all commands. You can view help on an individual command by entering the command name followed by a question mark.

Change the host name in the PIX Firewall command line prompt. (Configuration mode.)
hostname newname| newname | New host name for the PIX Firewall prompt. This name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. PIX Firewall converts the host name to all lowercase. |
The hostname command changes the host name label on prompts. The default host name is "pixfirewall." If you have the optional failover feature, assign host names to both PIX Firewall units. Then if a failure occurs and you Telnet to the IP address, the host name in the prompt verifies that the secondary unit is functioning.
pixfirewall(config)# hostname spinner spinner(config)# hostname pixfirewall pixfirewall(config)#
Permit inside IP address access to the PIX Firewall HTML management interface. (Configuration mode.)
http ip_address netmask| ip_address | IP address of systems on the inside of the PIX Firewall that are able to access the PIX Firewall HTML management interface. |
| netmask | Network mask of ip_address. If you want to limit access to a single IP address use 255 in each octet; for example, 255.255.255.255. |
The http command lets an IP address access the PIX Firewall HTML management interface. Use no http or clear http to disable management interface access. Use show http to list the information you entered.
pixfirewall(config)# http 192.168.42.42 255.255.255.255
Identify Ethernet board speed and duplex. (Configuration mode.)
interface ethernet inside|outside 10baseT|100baseTX|autoThe interface ethernet command identifies the speed and duplex settings of the network interface boards. The speed setting affects the show blocks command. Refer to Installing Circuit Boards in the Cisco PIX Firewall (Document Number 78-3748-01) for information on installing an Ethernet board. Use no interface ethernet to disable access to the network interface. Use show interface ethernet to view information about the interface.
pixfirewall(config)# interface ethernet inside auto pixfirewall(config)# interface ethernet outside auto
Identify Token-Ring board speed. (Configuration mode.)

| outside | Network interface for network outside the PIX Firewall. |
| 4mbps | 4 megabytes per second data transfer speed. |
| 16mbps | (default) 16 megabytes per second data transfer speed. |
The interface token command identifies the speed of the Token-Ring network interface. Refer to Installing Circuit Boards in the Cisco PIX Firewall (Document Number 78-3748-01) for more information on installing a Token-Ring board. Use no interface token to disable access to the network interface. Use show interface token to view information about the interface.
pixfirewall(config)# interface token inside 16mbps pixfirewall(config)# interface token outside 16mbps
Identify IP address for PIX Firewall. (Configuration mode.)
ip address inside|outside ip_address [netmask]| inside|outside | The inside or outside network interface. |
| ip_address | IP address. |
| [netmask] | Network mask of ip_address. |
The ip address command assigns an IP address to the PIX Firewall. Use the show ip address command to view which addresses are assigned to the inside and outside network interfaces.
pixfirewall(config)# ip address inside 130.10.2.1 255.255.255.0
Terminate a Telnet session. (Privileged mode.)
kill telnet_id| telnet_id | Telnet session ID. |
The kill command terminates a Telnet session. Use the who command to view the Telnet session ID value. When you kill a Telnet session, PIX Firewall lets any active commands terminate and then drops the connection without warning to the user.

Specify Private Link connection to PIX Firewall. (Configuration mode.)
link remote_ip_address key-id key| remote_ip_address | IP address of a PIX Firewall running Private Link. |
key-id
| The key number. Version 3 PIX Firewall supports up to seven Private Link encryption keys. The key_id value can be from 1 to 7. |
| key | The 56-bit key (up to 14 hexadecimal digits) used to seed the encryption chip. This key must be the same on each host end of an encrypted link. The key consists of hexadecimal numbers; for example, fadebac. Select a unique key that is difficult to guess. |
The link command creates an encrypted path between version 3 Private Link equipped PIX Firewall units. You can specify up to seven encryption keys for data access between your unit and the remote unit. The key-ID and key values must be the same on each side of the Private Link. Once you specify the same keys on both sides of the connection, the systems alert each other when a new key takes effect. You can use the age command to specify the number of minutes that a key is in effect.
Specify the link command once for each key you want to specify; for example, if you want seven keys, enter the link command in the configuration seven times.
The PIX Firewall Private Link consists of an encryption card and software that permits PIX Firewall units to provide encrypted communications across an unsecure network such as the Internet. This optional feature is available to domestic customer sites.
PIX Firewall allows up to 64 Private Links. At least two PIX Firewall units are required along with the hardware/software option to use this feature.
Private Link works by checking packets that arrive at the PIX Firewall inside interface. If a route link previously created by the linkpath command exists that matches the destination network address, the packet is encrypted and encapsulated in an AH/ESP frame. The frame has a destination address of the remote PIX Firewall and a source address of the local PIX Firewall. When the packet arrives at the remote PIX Firewall unit, the data in the packet is decrypted and then sent through the inside interface to the original IP address specified. No translation takes place on packets that traverse the PIX Firewall Private Link. The addressing and data remains completely unchanged.
PIX Firewall allows up to 512 link paths.
You can manage remote PIX Firewall units through the Private Link interface.
See also: linkpath, show link
To configure a Private Link, refer to the example setup in Figure 4-1.
Before configuring Private Link, you would initially configure the systems using the standard commands. To configure PIX Firewall A, use these commands:
pixfirewall(config)# interface ethernet inside auto up pixfirewall(config)#interface ethernet outside auto uppixfirewall(config)#ip address inside 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0pixfirewall(config)#ip address outside 192.168.35.1 255.255.255.0pixfirewall(config)# nat 1 0.0.0.0 pixfirewall(config)# global 1 192.168.35.0 pixfirewall(config)# route inside 10.1.1.2 pixfirewall(config)# route outside 192.168.35.2
For this example, assume that PIX Firewall B, the version 2 PIX Firewall, is already configured to have the IP addresses and global IP addresses shown in the illustration, and that it has its Private Link configured to talk to PIX Firewall A and C. Refer to the version 2 Private Internet Exchange Reference Guide (Document Number 78-3362-02) for more information on configuring Private Link.
To initially configure PIX Firewall C, use these commands:
pixfirewall(config)# interface ethernet inside auto up pixfirewall(config)#interface ethernet outside auto uppixfirewall(config)#ip address inside 10.3.1.1 255.255.255.0pixfirewall(config)#ip address outside 192.168.37.1 255.255.255.0pixfirewall(config)# nat 1 0.0.0.0 pixfirewall(config)# global 1 192.168.37.0 pixfirewall(config)# route inside 10.3.1.2 pixfirewall(config)# route outside 192.168.37.2
When you configure a Private Link, follow these steps:
Step 1 In this example, with a version 2 PIX Firewall to which a connection is being made, you need to select an address from the global pool. In version 3, this dependency has been eliminated. For this example, IP address 192.168.36.2 was selected from the global address pool. When you assign global addresses from the pool for version 2 Private Link, select addresses from the start of global pool range.
Step 2 Agree on up to seven hexadecimal encryption keys for use between the PIX Firewall Private Link local and remote units; for example, one key could be like the hexadecimal value fadebac. Be sure to select unique keys that are difficult to guess. The key can be up to 56 bits in length
(14 hexadecimal digits).
Step 3 Use the link command to create an encrypted link for each key you want to specify.
Step 4 Use linkpath to tell the firewall to send packets for the destination network across the link rather than translating and forwarding them.
On PIX Firewall A, in the previous illustration, enter these commands to configure the Private Link:

| ip_address | IP address (host or network) from which to permit incoming connections (0.0.0.0 is any host). |
| netmask | Network mask. |
The no conduit command removes conduits to static translations. To remove groups of conduits, you must specify the global IP address, the port, and the protocol. You can also delete individual conduits by specifying the IP address and network mask. Use the show conduit command to view which conduits remain.
The conduit command lets you permit connections from outside the PIX Firewall to hosts on the inside network. Conduits exist on the static translation slots and can be added with the conduit command. The conduit command is the recommended method.
pixfirewall(config)# no conduit 192.168.42.0 25 tcp
Turn failover off or force PIX Firewall into standby mode. (Configuration mode.)
no failover [active] active
| Force the current PIX Firewall into standby mode. |
The no failover command without an argument turns the optional failover feature off. With the active argument, no failover forces a PIX Firewall into standby mode. The failover feature works by passing control to a secondary PIX Firewall should the primary unit fail.
Use show failover to view the status of the connection and to determine if the failover cable is connected to both units.
Refer to the description of the failover command for more information on this feature.

| IP address from which or to which access is authenticated. If you want every system in your network to authenticate to this type of server, use 0.0.0.0 for the IP address. You can specify a network IP address by entering zero in each octet of the host portion of the IP address; for example, for a class C address, code 0 in the last octet, such as 192.168.42.0. |
netmask
| Network mask of ip_address. Always specify a specific mask value. If you want to limit authentication to a single IP address use 255 in each octet; for example, 255.255.255.255. |

Provide SNMP event information. (Configuration mode.)
snmp-server contact|location text snmp-server host ip_addressThis command causes the PIX Firewall to send SNMP traps so that the firewall can be monitored remotely. Use snmp-server host to specify which systems receive the SNMP traps. You can specify up to five systems and all must be on the inside network of the firewall. PIX Firewall converts the contact and location information to lowercase.
Use snmp-server contact and snmp-server location to specify your name and the location of the PIX Firewall so that hosts receiving SNMP traps can contact you if monitored problems occur.
Using SNMP, you can monitor system events on the PIX Firewall.
The PIX Firewall SNMP MIB-II groups available are System, Interfaces, and SNMP.
The PIX Firewall SNMP traps available to an SNMP server are:
Use CiscoWorks Windows (Product Number CWPC-2.0-WIN) or any other SNMP V1, MIB-II compliant browser to receive SNMP traps and browse the MIB. SNMP traps occur at UDP port 162. Up to five hosts can receive SNMP traps. SNMP events can be read, but information on the PIX Firewall cannot be changed with SNMP.
pixfirewall(config)# snmp-server location 'building 42, sector 54'
Map local IP address to a global IP address. (Configuration mode.)
static global_ip local_ip| global_ip | The registered IP address to be used from the global pool. |
| local_ip | The local IP address from the inside network. |
The static command creates a permanent mapping (static translation slot) between a local IP address and a global IP address in the virtual pool. A static address is a permanent mapping from one of the global, registered IP addresses to a local IP address inside the private network. Static addresses are recommended for internal network service hosts, such as an SMTP server. Use show static to view static statements in the configuration.

View SYSLOG messages on the PIX Firewall console. (Configuration mode.)
syslog consoleDisplays syslog messages on the console port. Use no syslog console to stop the display. Refer to the description of syslog output for more information on SYSLOG.
See also: no syslog console
pixfirewall(config)# syslog console pixfirewall(config)# no syslog console
Define which hosts are sent SYSLOG messages. (Configuration mode.)
syslog host ip_address| ip_address | The IP address or network of a host that is authorized to receive SYSLOG messages. |
The syslog host command lets you specify up to 16 host IP addresses to which SYSLOG messages are sent. Use no syslog host to remove a host from the receiving list. Use show syslog to view the current hosts. Refer to the description of syslog output for more information on SYSLOG.
pixfirewall(config)# syslog host 192.168.0.99 pixfirewall(config)# no syslog host 192.168.0.99
Start sending SYSLOG notification messages. (Configuration mode.)
syslog output facility.levelThe syslog output command configures the facility and level of SYSLOG messages. Because network devices share the eight facilities, syslog output lets you set the facility marked on all messages. Messages are sent to the SYSLOG host over UDP. The syslog output command also starts sending messages onto the network. Use the syslog host command to specify which systems receive the messages.
You can use show syslog to view previously sent messages.
PIX Firewall generates SYSLOG messages for system events, such as security alerts and resource depletion. SYSLOG messages may be used to create email alerts and log files, or displayed on the console of a designated host using UNIX SYSLOG conventions. The log host must be on the internal network.
A PC WinSock version of syslogd also will work.
PIX Firewall sends SYSLOG messages to document the following events:
Logging is enabled by configuring the PIX Firewall with the IP address of the log host.
To configure a UNIX system to accept SYSLOG messages:
# mkdir /var/log/pix # touch /var/log/pix/name
| Message Priority | UNIX syslog.conf File Keyword |
|---|---|
| 0 -- Emergency | localn.emerg |
| 1 -- Immediate action | localn.alert |
| 2 -- Critical condition | localn.crit |
| 3 -- Error | localn.err |
| 4 -- Warning | localn.warning |
| 5 -- Notice | localn.notice |
| 6 -- Information | localn.info |
| 7 -- Debug | localn.debug |
In the syslog.conf file, you code each selector and action pair for the messages you want to receive. For example, if you want to receive messages in a file called pixfirewall for message priorities 0, 1, 2, and 3, and you use the default LOCAL4 facility, the syslog.conf statements would be:
# PIX Firewall SYSLOG messages (formerly A.S. violations) local4.emerg /var/log/pix/pixfirewall local4.alert /var/log/pix/pixfirewall local4.crit /var/log/pix/pixfirewall local4.error /var/log/pix/pixfirewall
This configuration directs PIX Firewall SYSLOG message to the specified file. Alternatively, if you want the message sent to the logging host console or emailed to a system administrator, refer to the UNIX syslog.conf(4) manual page.
Entries in /etc/syslog.conf must obey these rules:
# cat /etc/syslog.pid 92 # kill -HUP 92
The first command lists the SYSLOG process ID. This number may vary by system. The second command sends SYSLOG the HUP signal to cause it to restart.
pixfirewall(config)# syslog output 23.4
Examples of PIX Firewall SYSLOG messages resemble the following:
Oct 15 12:55:03 pix-in PIX out of connections! Oct 15 12:54:28 pix-in conn end faddr 192.168.42.42 fport 4457 gaddr 10.10.10.1 laddr 10.10.10.2 Oct 15 13:04:02 pix-in deny tcp out 192.168.96.14 in 10.10.10.42 flags SYN ACK Oct 15 13:37:44 pix-in conns 16384 conns_used 0 xlate 254 xlate_used 1 Oct 15 13:47:21 pix-in PIX logged in from 10.10.42.112

Allow inside IP address to configure the PIX Firewall from Telnet. (Privileged mode.)
telnetip_address netmask
| ip_address | The IP address or network of a host that is authorized to access the PIX Firewall Telnet management interface. |
| netmask | The netmask for the network specified in this Telnet command. Use any valid mask, or a network IP address to enable access to all in the subnet; for example if you set netmask to 255.255.255.0, all systems in the subnet can access the firewall over Telnet. If you set netmask to 255.255.255.255, only the IP address you specify can access the firewall. |
The telnet command lets you decide who can configure the PIX Firewall from Telnet. Up to 16 hosts or networks are allowed access to the PIX Firewall, four simultaneously. The show telnet command displays the current list of IP addresses authorized to access the PIX Firewall. Use no telnet or clear telnet to remove Telnet access from a previously set IP address. Use the who command to view which IP addresses are currently accessing the firewall.
With Telnet, you can configure the PIX Firewall from the inside network or over Private Link.

Sets the maximum idle time for translation and connection slots. (Configuration mode.)
timeout [xlate [hh:mm:ss]] [conn [hh:mm:ss]]| xlate hh:mm:ss | Idle time until a translation slot is cleared (default value is 24 hours). |
| conn hh:mm:ss | Idle time until a connection slot is cleared (default value is 12 hours). |
The timeout command sets the idle time for connection and translation slots. If the connection or translation slot has not been used for the idle time specified, the resource is returned to the free pool. The minimum idle time for both xlate and conn is 5 minutes. TCP connection slots are freed within 30 seconds after a normal connection close sequence.
Use show timeout to display the current timeout settings.
