How to Allow ICMP to the PIX interfaces?

How do I configure the PIX 515 to ping the interface addresses

[p-hogan]

which interfaces or addresses do you wish to ping, and from where?

[djaisinghani]

I would like to ping the outside interface from the external side and the inside interface from the inside LAN

thanks

you should be able to ping the inside PIX interface (usually your gateway),

if you are a user on the same inside LAN (from what I remember)

if not mirror the command below

to allow an external address to ping the outside PIX interface address is possible but I would not recommend opening this up.

if you add this line onto the outside interface access-list

access-list acl_outside per ic any OUTSIDE_PIX_INT_IP

oops - forgot 'HOST'

access-list acl_outside per ic any host OUTSIDE_PIX_INT_IP
