PDM location /http

[itchampnz]

Hi, what is difference between:

pdm location xxxxxxx 255.255.255.0 inside

and

http xxxxxxx 255.255.255.0 inside

they do the same thing ????

Thanks

First one your mentioning the system you want access PDM

Second for that system your enabling http server

if both things are required run the PDm

it's an interesting question, as i never play with the command "pdm location" yet i do configure pdm access.

having another read of the command reference, i noticed that these two commands are not quite the same as i thought they might be.

the command "pdm location" doesn't control the access of pdm, rather it is more for pdm bookkeeping. further, when pdm is launched, it will auto discover the network topology and use this info to generate the list for "pdm location".

alternatively, the command "http ip_address [netmask] [if_name]" is used to control the pdm access to the pix.
