Re: Locked Out Pix515

hnohammar · ‎12-03-2001

I have a misconfigured Pix 515, and need to clear the flash in it.

The pix-login authentication is set to TACACS+ for

both telnet and console access. But since the Ip address on the interfaces are wrong due to misconfiguration, i cant fix a connection to

the TACACS+ server.

I´ve tried the "no-password" files, but since they

do not clear the TACACS+ configuration, they wont help.

I´ve opened the chassis but dont know what jumpers to change to clear the flash.

Please help me out!

Regards

Call TAC and open a case! They're real good at the whole support thing, especially on Cisco stuff ;-)

I´ve resolved this issue,

Its undocumented...

I downloaded a file called erasedisk611.bin from

ciscos ftp-site (it was not available from the web).

And installed it in monitor mode...
