I have purchased a Cisco PIX 501 Firewall for our company. It says that it comes configured sufficiently for most companys. I am hesitant to install it until I know what the ramificaitons will be. (We have 1 web server and and Exchange server.) Ihave worked with other firewalls in the past, but don't feel I have a good grasp on how to configure the PIX.

Is this an issue where I should consult an expert, or is there documentation somewhere that will aid in configuring this firewall?

Thanks

Yes, you will need to have the help of someone familiar with Cisco PIX commands (the last time I configured one of these was more than two years ago) and what you want the firewall to accomplish.

You should have at least gotten a manual with the OS command definitions and example configurations. If not you should browse on over to www.cisco.com and see if they have your OS version manuals available for download. They used to keep these online.
