Faulty 1FE?

[simonw]

Hi,

I have a working PIX with a reasonably large config (11k). I added a new PIX-1FE to the box, and every few hours since the PIX crashes - sort of. Established VPN PIX-PIX tunnels still work, and ICMP across a PAT works, bit TCP and UDP connections (e.g. incoming SMTP, outgoing DNS & www) don't. I've just taken the card out, to see if the problem disappears.

Nothing looks wrong from the show tech, and the box (515e UR) had no problems before the additional card went in.

Anyone seen anything similar?

When it first happened, I suspected the DNS and proxy servers, as I'd never had a problem with a PIX before!

Thanks

Simon

Bit hard to tell what happened. What did the syslog show for the failed connections? What was the CPU util?

Nothing useful in the logs and 0% CPU.

Interesting other symptom - VPN tunnels continued to work fine.

Took the card out 24 hours ago, and no problems yet.
