PIX Firewall 4 -> 5 Upgrade problems

jlantoona

Level 1

Hi,

When i attempt to upgrade the PIX Software, on my "PIX Classic Firewall"

i get the below error. Do i need to change any Dip switch settings on the Flash card (ISA)?

I get the below error when i boot of the boothelper disk.

I have a 2MB Flash card. I am trying to load 5.29. Should i try an earlier version? if so where can i locate it?

Thanks

Hi,

What does this message say? "Obsolete FLASH card. Upgrade required. See release notes for this version."

So your flash card is not supported on any version higher than 5.1.4

5.1.4 is the max you can go with 2MB

Thanks

OK thanks for the advice..

Any ideas where i can locate / download 5.1.4 ?
