How to open port 18261 in pix 501

Asked by: eazstream

My warehouse  manager just had installed 14 cameras hooked up to a network DVD recoder. i should be able to view all these cameras via their website from the oustside world. the camera tech set up port 18261 to access these camera. local ip for network dvd recorder is 192.168.3.100. I only have one external ip address (151.196.192.xx) which is being used by citrix as well, the tech stated that all i have to do is open port 18261 on the PIX to this ip and i should be able to log into the camera site.
 How do i open port 18261 using pix 501, and would iot cause any issue with my citrix users, even thou the tech assure me it wouldnt. im new to routers our network guy left and i was given this project and want to make a good first impression.

Can anyone provide the commands to open the port so that i can access these cameras.

Thanks

Assuming port 18261 is TCP, add these commands to the PIX:

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 18261 192.168.3.100 18261 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 18261

If you already have an access list applied to the outside interface with an "access-group" statement in your PIX config, then add the access list statement above to that same access list.

Your configuration got cut off a little bit, but it looks like the ACL applied to your outside interface is actually called the exact same thing that I used in my example, so you should be able to put in those commands I gave to you as is.

 

by: eazstreamPosted on 2008-01-11 at 11:59:11ID: 20639687

so just add it to the end of the list, again sorry for being a nwb but i really want to show them that i can atleast try to get this done... thanks to you ofcourse...
so first ill login to my pix, i guess my next command is configure, then ill type your command
right
thanks

Once you connect to the PIX and you have a "pixfirewall>" prompt, issue these commands:

enable
<put in enable mode password>
conf t
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 18261 192.168.3.100 18261 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 18261
wr mem

That should do it!
