PIX 501

[saidfrh]

How do you restore the PIX 501, 6.2 to its default values. "Erase" is not a command, "reload" will not work.

Thanks.

The config looks fine.

http server enable

Question: Do you have any kind of error message when you connect to the PIX with browser ? If yes post it.

https://192.168.1.1

1.) There is maybe no pdm.bin installed on the PIX ? Very unlikely.

2.) Your browser blocks JAVA, cookies and popups. Try diffrent browsers.

3.) You might use an incompatible Java version 1.5.x but this usally leads to error messages.

Use 1.4.x version as Cisco recommends.
