Cisco PIX 501 PROBLEM

sgozio — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 08:53:53 GMT

Hi all,

I have one Cisco PIX 501 connect by outside interface to a Telecom Router. This Router show his state by web page. The router automatically each 5 minutes updates his tables and publish IP Addresses of each host connected, on his web page.

I think that Router capture IP Adresses of any host connect, by sending Gratuitous Arp. When this happens, my PIX 501 outside interface becomes not operational however its state is UP - UP.

It seams doesn't work to Router's IP only.

In this situation internet results unrechable.

Cane anyone help me???

Tks all.

Here is my Pix configuration:

Hello

It seems like you are having a conectivity issue.

If you are suspicious about your provider link then you will have to capture all the information and events you can.

1.- Start by testing your inside network , enable icmp on the inside interface of the pix

conf term

icmp permit any inside

then , from a host at your inside network do a ping to the PIX inside IP

ping -t 192.168.1.254

2.- Test and check the connectivity to your router from an inside workstation , by pinging continuosly to 10.0.0.254 which is your default ip address with a

ping -t 10.0.0.254

then , see how it goes , packet loss , variable response time.

3.- You can also enable your pix log , telnet to your pix and go into configuration mode and type :

conf term

telnet timeout 60

ssh timeout 60

logg mon 7

! this command will log all events to your teminal telnet or ssh session

term mon

logg buff 7

!this command will log all avents to buffer

logg on

!will start logging

Try to capture the log events at the moment you loose conectivity to correlate any possible event.

Hope this helps ... !

Regards

Hello, tks for answer!

1) The problem is between router and PIX, it happen also when inside interface is down.

2) I test by ping (I'm connect to PIX by his serial interface to my PPC) connection between router and pix. On my PPC I have also open Internet Explorer on Router Web Page, when I refresh this page the Router update connected Host IP Address list in this moment it is systematic: connection loose.

3) I also enable pix log but last log information is ping to router.

Tks for your time.

Let me ask you a couple of questions

What type of router is it ? Is it a DSL router ?

Are you the administrator of the router ?

How is DHCP configured on the router ? enabled ? disabled ? (it should be disabled on the interface connected to your PIX)

Have you checked speed and duplex ¿? (try fixing it to 10 full on the router and on the outside interface of the PIX)

In any case it seems like this is a conectivity issue not a malfunctioning PIX or a configuration related problem.

Hi Federico, tks for answer.

Router is DSL Router, I'm Administrator of Router but it is a Italian Telecom "Black Box".

On Router I can configure basic parameters by web interface only.

DHCP is disabled.

I already Fix speed of PIX to 10full, on Router it is impossible to fix (It is autosensing)

Telecom have already change Router and I already have change PIX but the problem is the same.

Perhaps the isuue is the Router IP discovering mechanism. In fact when I refresh router webpage were router listing inside IP connection, connection lost.

Any other idea???

It seams possible problem related to Router ARP Sending, in fact by Frame capture I find this information inside Router ARP frame informations:

Sender IP Address: 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0)

Note: Pix doesn't show anything inside log.
