What this stems from is the ISP does not want to give me multiple IP's. Setup is a ADSL connection acting as a bridge connected to a PIX 501 version 6.2. The outside interface has a public IP address. Then you have to have another public IP for the g...

I see that the 6.2 image is available, but I'm seeing that 32MB RAM is required.From what I can see, the 501 only comes with 16MB of RAM.What is the final consensus on whether I can upgrade my 501 image?Thanks.

We have had PPTP working for several months on a PIX 515 pair up until last Wednesday. Since that time no one has been able to connect via PPTP. Cisco VPN 3.x clients are working OK. As far as I can see, no changes have been made to the PIX config in...

Was wondering if any of you have seen a problem similar to this one. Not sure how long it's been going on. We found it while logging some email traffic, and noticed that a great deal of traffic is from the second and third servers listed in the MX re...

I've been doing some config changes and wanted to go back to the default config and used the command 'clear config all' and I cannot now return to the PDM or use telnet. What can I do to get back to the Pix PDM or CLI??? Thnks.Barry

Hi,I have recently had a PIX stop forwarding traffic because of the 'reliable TCP syslog' feature, the syslog server had gone down.To stop it happening again I changed the PIX to use logging via UDP instead, however the same thing happened again a co...
