PIX upgrade to version 7.x nightmare

netmgt

Level 1

Recently we upgraded all our PIX 515E to version 7.1(2) and the nightmare begin. In one network the CitrixMetaFrame Web client stop working. We upgraded to version 7.2(1) and MetaFrame start working again but then the Remote Access vpn does not work anymore. Another problem we found, the asdm have a bug in the Global network objects group. Not all of the IP Names are shown in list. In another network the HTTP fixup start blocking to a Web portal we have in the DMZ. In that same network we have a Site-to Site VPN and with version 7.1(2) we couldn?t manage the Remote PIX with SSH or ASDM because there is a bug. WE had to upgrade the Remote PIX to version 7.2(1) to be able to manage the PIX remotely. Other problem we found, for some reason all the PIX start failing over from active to passive without reason. We had to remove all the failover configuration and reconfigure the failover again to make work more stable. Still we get failover sometimes without reason. Right now we are considering go back to version 6.3(5) until a GD version is release.

I would advise a downgrade to 7.0(5). I am using this version right now on both PIX and ASA hardware with good success. I have Citrix working through the FW using this code, and no failover issues.

Let me know how this goes if you downgrade.

I installed version 7.0(5). Now Citrix and the remote acces vpn don't work. The clients are behind the PIX and the server it's Outside.

Could you send me your config?
