PIX 501 on a LAN

dmunyak · ‎10-13-2003

I purchased the PIX 501 for my home broadband connection. Prior to installing it, I am trying to learn it at work.

I can't get ethernet0 to accept a DHCP assigned ip. Probably something simple.

Should I be using a crossover or straight through cable ?

The command is ip address outside dhcp.

Good stuff but I still can't get connected to the LAN.

I have tried using a straight through cable and cross over. When I issue the command sho ip, the line protocol for ethernet0 is down for either cable. I know both cables are working.

I have even tried to statically assign an IP to ethernt0. still, the line protocol is down.

Stupid is as stupid does !!!!!!!!

Forget the support. Thanks anyway, but It helps to look at the switch speed. I had the PIX plugged into a 100mb switch.

Everything is working
