As soon as any ethernet traffic is sent (ping, etc), it starts the lock and reboot. I've reset it to factory default and reflashed 6.3(5). Does anyone have any ideas? I've searched for about a week. Let me know what info you need.</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 13:12:23 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941332#M916975 blueviewinc 2019-03-11T13:12:23Z Re: PIX 501 locks up with network traffic https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941333#M916976 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Is the PIX in a production environment? what you may need to do while pix is properly functioning is to look into its performance and processies, I had a PIX506 with similar behaviour which it turned out to be sensitive to heat so I removed it away from other system decipating heat and the freezing rebooting went away...but this may not be your case as it could also be a hardware problem.</P><P></P><P></P><P>Monitoring pix performance </P><P><A class="jive-link-custom" href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_tech_note09186a008009491c.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_tech_note09186a008009491c.shtml</A></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:46:07 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941333#M916976 JORGE RODRIGUEZ 2008-07-11T01:46:07Z Re: PIX 501 locks up with network traffic https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941334#M916977 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I had to remove it from production. It will run all day long with just the console connected. As soon as I attach my laptop to any of the ports (1-4) it resets with a watchdog timeout, dumps, then reboots and locks.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:04:59 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941334#M916977 blueviewinc 2008-07-11T02:04:59Z Re: PIX 501 locks up with network traffic https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941335#M916979 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You wouldn't happen to have the crash dump off hand would you?</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 12 Jul 2008 04:12:34 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-locks-up-with-network-traffic/m-p/941335#M916979 Magnus Mortensen 2008-07-12T04:12:34Z
