Chapter2 Installing a PIX Firewall
Installing a PIX 506
Step 2 The inside or outside network connections can be made to either interface port on the PIX 506. Connect
the inside network cable to the interface connector marked ETHERNET 0 or ETHERNET 1. Connect
the outside network cable to the remaining Ethernet port. Refer to the “Configuring the PIX 506”
section for information on how to configure the ports.
Step 3 The PIX 506 uses an external AC to DC power supply. Power is supplied to the PIX 506 by connecting
the power supply to the back of the PIX 506 and connecting a separate AC power cord to the power
supply. Figure2-4 displays the cable connection from the power supply to the PIX 506, and displays
the AC power cord connector (at the opposite end of the power supply).
