Accessing PDM From My Desktop

[mrashby]

All,

I am trying to access the PDM from my desktop. I have a route to the inside interface of the PIX although my PC isn't on the same subnet. Do I have to put in a static route or something on the PIX to allow me to access the PDM from my desktop?

To access the PDM, the pix must know how to get to your PC. If your PC is not on a directly connected network, then you must have a route statement using the interface that you are trying to access the PDM from. You must also have a HTTP statement that permits you access to the PDM (HTTPS).

Okay, so lets say the network my pc is on is 123.12.23.0 and the inside interface of the pix is 2.2.2.2 so in essence I would create a static route that said:

route inside 123.12.23.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.2 1

will this work?

Correct. You would also need a statement that allows HTTPS access from your host or set of hosts. If your example, this command allows the entire Class C of hosts to access the PDM.

http 123.12.23.0 255.255.255.0 inside
