The PDM Startup Wizard is a good place to begin configuring
a new or erased PIX Firewall. Using the PIX setup command,
followed by the Startup Wizard, provides the basic requirements needed to
implement a network security policy for the PIX Firewall.
If the Start Wizard isn’t on the screen after PDM launches, use
the following steps from the PDM control panel:
-
Choose Wizards | Startup Wizard from the main menu.
-
After reading the Welcome to the Startup Wizard page, click
the Next button. The next screen allows changing the host name, the domain name,
and enable password, as shown in Figure 22-5. Each screen has a Help button for
assistance. Click the Next button to advance.

-
The next screen allows changing the outside interface
configuration, including features like DHCP client and PPPoE. Click the Next
button to advance.
-
Other screens allow configuring the other interfaces,
NAT/PAT, and DHCP server on the inside interface.
-
When you finish with the wizard pages, the Startup Wizard
Completed page appears. Click the Finish button to send the configuration to the
firewall, and then exit the wizard or click Back to edit previous
pages.
