I have not used it, but I think there is going to be some issues for someone trying to use PPPoe on a firewall, especially if the IP is dynamic. Just to get hands on with a firewall, I was playing with ISA 2000 Server at home (Microsoft Firewall). Their packet filters would not bind to a dynamic IP. My opinion of using PPPoe with Pix 6.2b is that if you're using a DSL line with a static IP, it should work, but if the IP is dynamic I think there is going to be a lot of issues with stability. Packet filters like to be bound to a static IP, when the IP suddenly disappears, it doesn't work correctly.
So what I did was installed a small router that accepted PPPoe, with client side DCHP, so I set the PPPOE password on the router. Then my inside interface is 10.x.x.1, which goes do a switch. Though port forwarding, I can forward packets different servers. So like my first server is 10.x.x.3, and I make a rule to forward port 21 there. I am also doing DNS forwarding, for port 81, cause my ISP blocks incoming 80. I also run dynamic DNS services to keep my domain name mapped to the ip of the day. Maybe they will make a router as small at the 501 pix next, if they did, I would use that with PPPoe instead of a firewall. I think it's a nice theory, but I am skeptical. -----Original Message----- From: Clayton Dukes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PIX v6.2 [7:35987] Has anyone installed and used PPPoE with the new Pix 6.2 Beta?
