Remote Administration of a PIX

[fred]

I have several PIX506 FW in remote locations that VPN back to a PIX515 here at the main office. How can I set up remote access to the 506's so that I can administer them centrally? All ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you in advance.

you can setup ssh to the outside interface and lock it down to whatever ip you want to access it with.

"ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255 outside"

you'll have to genereate a public key on each pix to do it.

"ca generate rsa key 1024"

I use SecureCRT by VanDyke Software. It will do DES or 3DES.

Enjoy.

If you want to use GUI, you can configure accessing PDM from the outside interface:
