topic PIX 501 - Power issues in Network Security https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-power-issues/m-p/676257#M1035461 <P>I have a PIX 501 that has been working great but on my PC today I lost connectivity. When I looked at my PIX the VPN light was blinking rapidly. I did not have VPN setup but everytime it gets plugged in the VPN light is the only LED that lights up and blinks rapidly. Is my PIX fried? Is there any way to reset it from outside on the PIX, hard reset? Thanks</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 08:57:24 GMT jbanker 2019-03-11T08:57:24Z PIX 501 - Power issues https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-power-issues/m-p/676257#M1035461 <P>I have a PIX 501 that has been working great but on my PC today I lost connectivity.
