Method One – SMA Appliance on LAN Interface

  1. From a management system, log in to the SMA appliance’s Secure Mobile Access management interface. By default, the management interface is X0 and the default IP address is 192.168.200.1.
  2. Navigate to the Network > Interfaces page and click on the configure icon for the X0 interface. On the pop-up that appears, change the X0 address to 192.168.100.2 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. When done, click OK to save and activate the change.
  3. Navigate to the Network > Routes page and change the Default Gateway to 192.168.100.1 When done, click Accept in the upper-right corner to save and activate the change.
  4. Navigate to the Clients >Settings > Client Addresses page. You need to enter a range of IP addresses for the 192.168.100.0/24 network that are not in use on your internal LAN network; if your network has an existing DHCP server or the PIX is running a DHCP server on its internal interface, you need to make sure not to conflict with these addresses. For example: enter 192.168.100.201 in the field next to Client Address Range Begin: and enter 192.168.100.249 in the field next to Client Address Range End:. When done, click Accept in the upper-right corner to save and activate the change.
  5. Navigate to the Clients >Settings > Client Routes page. Add a client route for 192.168.100.0. If there is an entry for 192.168.200.0, delete it.
  6. Navigate to the Network > DNS page and enter your internal network’s DNS addresses, internal domain name, and WINS server addresses. These are critical for NetExtender to function correctly. When done, click Accept in the upper-right corner to save and activate the change.
  7. Navigate to the System > Restart page and click Restart…
  8. Install the SMA appliance’s X0 interface on the LAN network of the PIX. Do not hook any of the appliance’s other interfaces up.
  9. Connect to the PIX’s management CLI by way of the console port, telnet, or SSH and enter configure mode.
  10. Issue the command ‘clear http’ to shut off the PIX’s HTTP/S management interface.
  11. Issue the command ‘access-list sslvpn permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq www’ (replace x.x.x.x with the WAN IP address of your PIX)
  12. Issue the command ‘access-list sslvpn permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq https’ (replace x.x.x.x with the WAN IP address of your PIX)
  13. Issue the command ‘static (inside,outside) tcp x.x.x.x www 192.168.100.2 www netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0’ (replace x.x.x.x with the WAN IP address of your PIX)
  14. Issue the command ‘static (inside,outside) tcp x.x.x.x https 192.168.100.2 https netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0’ (replace x.x.x.x with the WAN IP address of your PIX)
  15. Issue the command ‘access-group sslvpn in interface outside’
  16. Exit config mode and issue the command ‘wr mem’ to save and activate the changes.
  17. From an external system, attempt to connect to the SMA appliance using both HTTP and HTTPS. If you cannot access the SMA appliance, check all previous steps and test again.
