topic bin files (pix 501) open improperly in Network Security https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307331#M562680 <P>Hi folks...this is my first time on here but it looks like i'm going to be on these forums a lot, at least till I can figure out how to get the info I need to trace an intruder. When I first received the pix 501 I had no problem loading the PDM. When I try to setup the software or the pdm program it opens as a "bootvis" file and says file wrong format....how do I repair the *.bin file association so that I can open the files on the CD?</P><P></P><P>Thanks, Hypnotist</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:36:24 GMT hypnotist 2020-02-21T07:36:24Z bin files (pix 501) open improperly https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307331#M562680 <P>Hi folks...this is my first time on here but it looks like i'm going to be on these forums a lot, at least till I can figure out how to get the info I need to trace an intruder.

You don't open them. The pix uses two .bin files these days - one for the actual operating system of the pix, and one for the pdm functionality. To admin the pix, you use a web browser to use the pdm, or ssh, or a console cable to the console port</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Sep 2004 15:05:27 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307332#M562681 mostiguy 2004-09-01T15:05:27Z Re: bin files (pix 501) open improperly https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307333#M562682 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Could you tell me what type in the broswer to access the PDM please?</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 01 Sep 2004 20:21:45 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307333#M562682 hypnotist 2004-09-01T20:21:45Z Re: bin files (pix 501) open improperly https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307334#M562683 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>They come from the factory configured as 192.168.1.1, I believe:</P><P></P><P><A class="jive-link-custom" href="https://192.168.1.1" target="_blank">https://192.168.1.1</A></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 02 Sep 2004 13:34:51 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/bin-files-pix-501-open-improperly/m-p/307334#M562683 mostiguy 2004-09-02T13:34:51Z
