We have a client PIX that is experiencing about 30% memory use, and about 40% packet loss...

Are there a couple of suggestions someone may have, that I can look at???

Thanks

Tony,

From you discription, it might be a virus issue as I came across a similar problem with one of my customer not so long ago which showed high cpu/memory usage. In my case it turned out to be a infected server on the inside LAN which was trying to propergate out on port 445/135.

Try (as a check) adding the following ACLs on the inside interface and see if you pick up any hits on the following ports - I might be completely wrong but worth a check...

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 135

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 445

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 5554

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 9995

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 9996

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 3127

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 3198

access-list inside deny tcp any any eq 1187

access-group inside in interface inside

Let me know how you get on and merry xmas & new year.

Thanks Jay for the info..

As it turns out, the issue was with the ISP circuits.

I had taken several trouble shooting steps, but nothing seem to make sense, but as stated, it was the ISP.

Thanks again, and have a great holiday..
