I removed a static nat entry. I cleared the xlate table - within seconds the static translation for the entry I had just removed was back.
The firewall did not remove the entry from the translation table
Despite the fact that there is a command 'clear xlate' to clear the translation table which - the nat entry would only dissapear for a couple of seconds and then reappear. It was an system fault with the pix.
I tried a specific 'clear xlate <IP>' and then a global 'clear xlate' and neither worked.
This inherent fault is proven by the fact that, when rebooting the firewall, the problem dissapeared and the translation remained 'gone'. As I'm sure you'll agree it should not be necessary to reboot the firewall to get rid of an X-late entry.
Any advise or suggestions??
The pix version is 6.3.1
Thanks for your help

Hi,
this is a known bug within 6.3.1 (bug-ID CSCea84806)
See the following link:
Saving config and rebooting is the workaround for this bug. The problem has been resolved within 6.3.2

Hi -
I'm sure you did this, but did you do clear xlate after clearing the specific entry and the saved to memory with : write memory ??

No - I did this:
no static
sh xlate
clear xlate
clear xlate
wr mem
reload
<< ONCE REBOOTED ... GONE>>
Do you think I should have done a write mem and then checked the x-late table?
Why would it make a difference?

Try, what you suggested, i.e. write memory and then clear xlate and see what happens.
