Cisco Pix port 22

First, it would be wie to do: access-list in_outside permit tcp any host 66.xxx.xx.xx eq 22
Second, did you also apllied: access-group in_outside in interface outside ?

Is the vendor trying to ssh into the pix itself or to a device that is inside the pix?

I am guessing based on the config that it is a device on the inside of the PIX and not the PIX itself.  If it is the PIX we have to do different things.

The one thing I would to Ernie's comment is that you should find out the public IP address that this vendor will be coming in from if at all possible and then update your ACL to include that as the source address.

i.e.

access-list in_outside permit tcp host x.x.x.x host y.y.y.y eq 22

or even the network he would be coming from

access-list in_outside permit tcp x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 host y.y.y.y eq 22

This further locks things down and prevents others from trying a brute force attack on you.

It is a device within our network.  I see what you’re saying with the security part but shouldn’t what I did allow them to get to their server that is inside our network?

It should, if the access-group command is in place as well as I said. Otherwise could you show is a sanitized config?

Things to check:

1) do you have an access list on the inside interface
2) is the ssh server listening on port 22
3) does the ssh server also have a firewall?
4) check to see if the query is reaching the firewall and it allowed
      sh log | i IP.OF.SSH.SERVER

And it doesn't matter if you specify "eq ssh" or "eq 22" since that number is standard for ssh.

Here is a copy of my config.  This external IP address that I am using is new and is not being used for anything else.  I have bolded and underlined the two changes that I made today to allow traffice for this new IP address.

From the inside, can you ssh to the server in question?

What do the PIX logs say?

Yes I can

What do the PIX logs say relevant to that access-list entry?

That's not the problem.  

What do the PIX logs say after a connection attempt?
