Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration that shows you how to enable the IOS^®router to accept dynamic IPsec connections from an PIX Firewall. The remote router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) if private network 10.0.0.x accesses the Internet. Traffic from 10.0.0.x to private network 10.1.0.x behind the PIX is excluded from the NAT process. The PIX Firewall can initiate connections to the router, but the router cannot initiate connections to the PIX.

This configuration uses a Cisco IOS router in order to create dynamic IPsec LAN-to-LAN (L2L) tunnels with a PIX Firewall that receives dynamic IP addresses on their public interface (outside interface). Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism in order to allocate IP addresses dynamically from the Internet service provider (ISP). This allows IP addresses to be reused when hosts no longer need them.

Refer to PIX 6.x: Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically Addressed PIX Firewall and the Dynamically Addressed IOS Router with NAT Configuration Example for more information on the scenario where the PIX accepts dynamic IPsec connections from the router.

Refer to PIX/ASA 7.x and later: Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically Addressed PIX and a Dynamically Addressed IOS Router with NAT Configuration Example in order to enable the PIX/ASA Security Appliance to accept dynamic IPsec connections from the IOS router.

Refer to PIX/ASA 7.x and later: Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically Addressed IOS Router and a Dynamically Addressed PIX with NAT Configuration Example in order to learn more about the same scenario where the PIX/ASA Security Appliance runs software version 7.x and later.
