Pix 506e w/5 static outside IPs - How to create a rule to allow ALL tcp/udp traffic from one outside

No need, just use the master configuration. The PIX will throw away
the comments as it reads them.

Yes; see my other reply in this thread about how to do this nicely.

Unreliable. The PIX does not have a big telnet buffer; you would have
to do small sections at a time.

Also, in the other posting I said that tftp files are read as if
they were in "config terminal". That is not completely accurate.
For example, if you had a comment that included a ? (question mark)
and were to copy/paste that into a telnet session, the ? would
trigger the PIX help system; when you tftp, that does not happen.
And most commands in the tftp'd file have to be full commands,
as it will not do command completion the way a telnet session would.

 

Hi Walter!

I'm just writing to thank you for your time to compose
the reply to my question. I really appreciate this.

I'll probably need to create a separate folder to store your
posts to comp.dcom.sys.cisco, the same thing that I had before
for your posts to comp.sys.sgi.*.

Thanks again,

Sylvek
