Cisco PIX
The world-leading Cisco PIX Firewall Series is a family of purpose-built
security appliances that deliver unprecedented levels of security,
performance and reliability. These platforms provide robust, enterprise-class
security services including stateful inspection firewalling, standards-based
IPsec Virtual Private Networking (VPN), intrusion protection and
much more in cost-effective, easy to deploy solutions. Ranging from
compact, plug-n-play desktop firewalls for small/home offices to
carrier class gigabit firewalls for the most demanding enterprise
and service provider environments, the Cisco PIX Firewall Series
consists of these five models:
 |
Cisco PIX 535 Firewall
Intended for large Enterprise and Service Provider environments,
provides over 1 Gbps of firewall throughput with the ability
to handle up to 500,000 concurrent connections. Certain PIX
535 models include stateful high-availability capabilities,
as well as integrated hardware acceleration for VPN, providing
up to 95 Mbps of 3DES VPN and support for 2,000 IPsec tunnels.
The Cisco PIX 535 provides a modular chassis with support
for up to 10 10/100 Fast Ethernet interfaces or 9 Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces.

Built upon a hardened, purpose-built operating system for security
services, PIX OS, PIX Firewalls provide the highest levels of security
and have earned many industry accolades including ICSA Firewall
and IPsec certification as well as Common Criteria EAL4 evaluation
status.
X Firewalls provide a wide range of security and networking services
including Network Address Translation (NAT), Port Address Translation
(PAT), content filtering (Java/ActiveX), URL filtering, AAA (RADIUS/TACACS+)
integration, support for leading X.509 PKI solutions, DHCP client/server,
PPPoE support (coming in Q1 2002) and much more. PIX
Firewalls also provide advanced security services for multimedia
applications and protocols including Voice over IP (VoIP), H.323,
SIP, Skinny and Microsoft NetMeeting, giving you the peace of mind
when deploying next generation converged network services.
Leveraging the integrated remote access and site-to-site VPN capabilities
found in PIX Firewalls, customers take can take advantage of the
cost savings associated with VPNs as well as extend their networks
to new environments including teleworkers, remote/satellite offices
and other constituencies including business partners, suppliers
and customers.
PIX Firewalls support a wide range of remote access VPN clients
including Cisco software VPN clients (available on many platforms
including Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP, Linux, Solaris and Apple
Macintosh OS X), Cisco hardware VPN clients (such as the VPN 3002)
as well as PPTP and L2TP clients found within Microsoft Windows
operating systems.
Administrators can choose from a wide variety of solutions for
remotely configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting PIX firewalls.
These solutions range from an integrated, Web-based management interface.
(PIX Device Manager) to centralized, policy-based management tools
to support for remote monitoring protocols such as Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog. Administrators can also manage
PIX firewalls using a convenient command-line interface (CLI) through
a variety of methods including Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH) and an
out-of-band console port.
