Did you recently apply a crypto map? If you did and its not configured correctly, the pix will be locked up. Check for a applied crypto map, remove it. Do a wr t, not a show config. Things will return to normal after removing, hopefully. On the other hand, if you have a network down situation, i'd suggest you call tac, if what I mentioned isn't there. Hopefully you have a some type of contract on the pix. Otherwise post your configuration here so we can take a look at it.

My PIX 515 recently "locked" up, leaving all of my hosting clients down. I was unable to ping the PIX and was unable to connect to the PIX using a console cable. The only thing I could do was turn the PIX off then on again. I am logging debug messages to KIWI syslog server, but found nothing in the logs. It simply stopped accepting connections. I looked for any suspicious activity before the logs stopped, but all traffic looked normal. I am running PIX v 6.2(2) on a 515 R. Any help or insight would be VERY appreciated.</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 06:24:27 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-locked-up-need-help/m-p/143530#M650687 edgrant 2020-02-21T06:24:27Z Re: PIX locked up Need Help https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-locked-up-need-help/m-p/143531#M650688 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What configuration changes have been made to the pix?
