I need to open a port on a PIX 515.
Please can someone explain what I should be entering including the commands.
For the purposes of the explanation (so I can understand it ) I've given the different elements the following ips
Destination IP that the workstation on my network will be contacting: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
The workstation on my network YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
PIX IP: ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ
Port = PPPPP
I have logged onto the PIX via Hyperterminal.
Thanks for your help.

to modify the ACL you would issue:
