Hi,<br />
We have a web server that we have had some problems with. The web server has managed to bring down our ASA5510 by swamping the Inside port with packets. We believe we have resolved the problem by stopping a Filezilla ftp service but we would like to isolate the web server behind a 2nd physical PIX 515. <br />
How would you suggest this was setup? would you suggest making the PIX 515 transparant? The PIX only has 2 ports.<br />
Many Thanks,<br />
Jaime

web server behind a secand firewall

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
