The Cisco PIX line of products were devices that provided firewall and VPN functionality.

They have been replaced by the Cisco ASA line of products. Many of the configuration commands used in PIX are the same or similar to those used in ASA, particularly earlier versions of the ASA operating system (version 7.x). Therefore, many useful answers to PIX related questions may be found under Cisco-ASA questions.
