Hi, I know this is nor right, I upgrade to v701 with 32MB memory, and now PIX is in a rebooting loop.

I can get to monitor mode, any one know the downgrade from monitor mode. Or how could I get out of the loop. If I get to command line I can downgrade

Best regards

Hi, Thanks for the update,

I thought about it and was reluctant to go that way cos, there is a downgrade special command in the commnad line.

But, this time I had to make up my mind and just did it, yes it works but it ask for activation key

Thnaks again

register the pix on the cisco site as if you are upgrading the license to 3 des. (use the serial number from show version)

They will send you the activation key. (hope you have a cco account)

Then use the activation key comman to enter the key.

If you remember the former key when the pix was running 6.3(x), you can enter this .
