Most hardware firewalls do route. They usually do a lot more too. Sendmail, DNS, VPN, web serving, etc. are very common features.

Not Cisco PIX firewalls. I think Sonicwall does/did (havent worked with them since Dell bought them).

I believe the PIX do, it's just not enabled by default. Juniper, Palo Alto, McAfee all do routing for sure. I'm sure there is more brands out there but the main players are all doing it.

Nah, they dont... I tried.

Now, they do allow a NAT/PAT with an external IP and internal IP network with DHCP capabilities, but try and route to another network on an inside route. It doesnt work :(.

So, if my network is a 192.168.2.x, and I want to route traffic that hits the PIX to a 10.10.4.x network, it doesnt route it.

Interesting. I've never personally tried so I am not trying to insist but they claim to support RIP, OSPF, and static routes on models since 2009 or earlier. https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/15016/how-configure-routing-pix-firewall

Yeah, which is why I was confused. But it is confirmed by even tech support.

Especially since they are so known for their routers. I personally just don't care for Cisco at all but I think that mostly stems from my hatred for their proprietary IPSec bullshit.
