Hello.

Your firewall is licensed for Fail-over only.

This firewall needs to be connected to another firewall in order to run.

This is its default behavior.

Dear Tim,

It was connected with Active Firewall & working fine, now it has given this internal error.Please find my attached booting sequence.

An internal error occurred. Specifically, a programming assertion was

violated. Copy the error message exactly as it appears, and get the

output of the show version command and the contents of the configuration

file. Then call your technical support representative.

assertion "result" failed: file "crypto_nist_tests.c", line 406

Hi Sajan,

I believe you got VAC+ card connected to PIX515E See removing the vac+ card fix the issue .

traceback indicate the vac+ card was the issue for crashinfo ..

There is a junk bug filed in 6.3.1 ..not sure you have access to that bug tool or not

CSCec50850

Here is link for bug tool kit

If removing the VAC+ card resolve the issue .. its gr8 else see software upgrade helps..otherwise.. hardware issue

Pls rate it helps your issue to resolve to that other can take benefit of this forum

Thanks

Hi,

The bug the other user mentioned is junked, so it is not that bug.

I noticed that you're running a very old version, please do an upgrade at least to 6.3.5 as several defects have been fixed since then.
