Step 1
Enable Password [<use current password>]:
Enter an alphanumeric password, up to 16 characters in length,
to protect the PIX Firewall privileged (access) mode. Record
the password in accordance with your security policy. If you
assign a password here, then it is used for authentication every
time you launch PDM unless you configured your PIX Firewall
to use another AAA server for authentication, in which case the
AAA server provides the authentication.
Step 2
Clock (UTC)
Year [2001]:
Month [Aug]:
Day [27]:
Time [22:47:37]:
Set the PIX Firewall clock to Universal Coordinated Time
(UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). For
example, if you are in the Pacific Daylight Savings time zone,
set the clock 7 hours ahead of your local time to set the clock
to UTC. Enter the year, month, day, and time. Enter the UTC
time in 24-hour time as hour:minutes:seconds.
Step 3
Inside IP address:
Specify the IP address of the PIX Firewall unit’s inside
interface. Ensure that this IP address is unique on the network
and not used by any other computer or network device, such as
a router.
Step 4
Inside network mask:
Specify the network mask for the inside interface. An example
mask is 255.255.255.0. You can also specify a subnetted mask,
for example: 255.255.255.224. Do not use all 255s, such as
255.255.255.255. This prevents traffic from passing on the
interface.
Step 5
Host name:
Specify up to 16 characters as a name for the PIX Firewall unit.
Step 6
Domain name:
Specify the domain name for the PIX Firewall.
Step 7
IP address of host running PIX Device
