Error with PDM

[bizsnatch]

I'm trying to open Pix Device Manager this morning and receive the following error:

[ERR] pdm location 172.16.1.0 172.16.1.1 inside Invalid netmask: 172.16.1.1

Usage: pdm disconnect <session_id>

pdm history enable

pdm logging [<level> [<messages>]]

show pdm history [view {all|12h|5d|60m|10m}] [snapshot]

[feature {all|blocks|cpu|failover|ids|interface <if_name>|

memory|perfmon|sas|tunnels|xlates}] [pdmclient]

show pdm logging

show pdm sessions

clear pdm

clear pdm location

clear pdm logging

Command failed

pdm location 172.16.1.0 172.16.1.1 dmz

172.16.1.0 is my internal subnet

172.16.1.1 is my PIX inside interface

Any ideas?

thanks,

biz

Hi Biz,

As the error indicates you netmask in incorrect, for instance if you want a specific client on the inside to be allowed to open/use PDM then you'll need the following (example):

http server enable

http 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.255 inside

or for a range of clients then...

http server enable

http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside

Makesure to save with command - write memory

Thanks -

It was actually my telnet. It had all kinds of funky entries I've never seen before... cleared it out and all is well... thanks.
