PIX 515 and XLATE

[mialback]

I took over communications at our firm a couple of years ago and am have learned the PIX by trial and error so please bear with me.

I have a PIX 515 (6.34) unlimited license that has been fine for 3 years. Some users were not able to get to the Internet who had been connected earlier in the day. It turns out, I have to clear xlate. This is happening a couple of times a week now. I have a NAT and PAT that seem to be working fine,but I still need to clear it. Please help.

Thank you

This seems like a new issue that just happened, right? can you check syslog messages? can you provide "show xlat count" and "show conn count"

thanks

Yes fairly new, a few weeks. Right now, nobody is really in the office but here is a sample.

sh xlate count

18 in use, 469 most used

sh conn count

114 in use, 1148 most used

My "in use" goes up to 69 or so, I have never seen the "most used" connections up that high

Thanks, Cec

I have ran Ethereal and dont seem to see a huge amount of any sort of traffic.
