and Monitoring PIX Firewall.”
Connecting to the Inside Interface of a Remote PIX Firewall
PIX Firewall Version 6.3 allows a remote management connection to the inside interface of a
PIX
Firewall over a VPN tunnel. This feature is designed to allow an administrator to remotely manage
a PIX
Firewall used as an Easy VPN Remote device, which typically has an IP address dynamically
assigned to its outside interface.
Cisco PIX Device Manager (PDM)
The Cisco PIX Device Manager (PDM) is a browser-based configuration tool that lets you set up,
configure, and monitor your PIX
Firewall from a graphical user interface (GUI), without any extensive
knowledge of the PIX
Firewall command-line interface (CLI). PDM provides a management interface
from Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Solaris web browsers. PDM access is password
protected, uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for encryption, and restricts access to client systems with
designated IP addresses.
Command Authorization
PIX Firewall Version 6.2 or higher provides a more flexible method of authenticating and authorizing
administrative access to the PIX
Firewall. Similar to Cisco IOS software command authorization,
PIX
Firewall now supports up to 16 privilege levels to be assigned to CLI commands. You can create
user accounts or login contexts tied to these privilege levels either locally or using a TACACS+ server.
Additional information is also now provided regarding the usage of CLI commands, such as command
tracing by means of syslog messages.
