8 Alternative Ways to Access the PIX 506/506E
You can use a serial terminal emulator from a PC or workstation connected to the Console port for
local administrative access.
You can also use PDM or a console to configure Telnet access to the PIX 506/506E. By default, Telnet
access is not permitted. To Telnet to the PIX 506/506E from the outside perimeter of the firewall,
configure an outside IP address and IPSec for a secure Telnet session. For more information, refer to
the Cisco PIX Firewall and VPN Configuration Guide.
To connect a console for local administrative access:
Step 1 Plug one end of the console cable adapter into a standard 9-pin PC serial port.
Step 2 Plug one end of the blue console cable (72-1259-01) into the PC terminal adapter.
Step 3 Plug the other end of the blue console cable into the Console port.
Step 4 Configure the PC terminal emulation software or terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, and 1 stop bit.
Refer to the Cisco PIX Firewall and VPN Configuration Guide for information about how to use the
command-line interface (CLI).
