Hi
I have acquired a PIX 515 (foc) and want to use it to hang a DR ftp server off and replace the PIX 501 I have at present.
It sits behind an ADSL router that is set up in half-bridge mode, the outside interface configured for DHCP. The 501 works perfectly like this.
All going ok apart from the 515 is not picking up the IP address from the router. If I connect my laptop to the router it gets the IP fine and I can browse the web. I have the outside interface configured as:
ip address outside dhcp setroute retry 4
but nothing is happening and it fails. No idea why.
I was getting “Deny udp reverse path check” errors but was given a suggestion to add:
no ip verify reverse-path interface OUTSIDE
which has stopped that error, but now there’s nothing in any of the logs. I’m no expert on Cisco kit, but I need this going asap really.
Being in the UK and on a BT line, we’re limited to PPPoA. I have read that the PIX only supports PPPoE and out ISP doesn’t use it. Will this affect the PIX getting an IP? Can anyone give me any suggestions (ditch the PIX is not an option, BTW).
