515E FailOver Problems

DanielO — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 10:10:47 GMT

Hello,

I have a PIX 515E FO and it is st the factory defaults. I simply assigned an IP Address to the inside interface. I am trying to upgrade to 7.0, then 7.1(1), which is the version my UR is on. I can't even ping any host on the same subnet, I am totally lost as to why this is happening? I have the correct subnet mask and ip address scheme, yet i get no responses from any host i try to ping. I have tried hooking up a cross over to a laptop and even that is unsuccessful. I thought that maybe I had a defective unit so I RMA'd it, but the new unit is displaying the same behavior. I am a afraid that I am missing something simple?

Here is my show run:

The issue here is the FO license. A PIX with FO license cannot work in standalone mode. This is the reason why you cant ping its interfaces or ping hosts from this PIX.

You may try enabling failover on PIX and then try doing upgrade.

ip address inside 10.18.1.18 255.255.0.0

failover ip address inside 10.18.1.19

failover

Wait for few secs, now this PIX should assume "Active" role and you should be able to ping the interface. Now try the upgrade.

Hope this helps.
