The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PIX 501 assigning IP's

Asked by DCInfoSyst in Miscellaneous Security, Enterprise Firewalls, Cisco PIX Firewall

Tags: pix, 501, clear, ip

We have a PIX 501 device that has a local pool of 10 IP numbers to assign. Our mobile users are communicating with laptops using a wireless (cell phone company) adapter. Every so often the wireless adapter will lose connectivity through the cell company. It does an auto-reconnect but then the PIX assigns them a new IP number. This wouldn't be a big deal except that it doesn't seem to free up the previously issued IP addresses and eventually our pool of 10 is used up. The only way we have found to free up the IP numbers is to reset the PIX - i.e., unplug it and plug it back in. Using the command line option of "show ip local pool" displays that those previously issued IP's are available when in fact, they really aren't.

Is there an option to refresh or clear the assigned IP numbers? We have been researching command line syntax and can't seem to find what we need.

Our PIX is a 501 running version 6.3(4) and using Device Manager version 3.0(2).

Thanks.
