I have to reboot Cisco Pix 515E Everyday

Hi there,

We have a Cisco Pix 515E Ver 6.3 firewall that I have to reboot every day. What I don't know is, before I reboot I could not tftp into it from the console until I reboot the router. Is this a hardware problem or the router needs a firmware upgrade? Anybody out there with similar problem? Your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is it only because you can't tftp ? Are you seeing some other problems as well ?

Also what version of the software are you running 6.3 (????)

6.3(5) is the last in that train and it had addressed a lot of bug fixes.

Cheers,

No, the unit regularly loses connectivity and we find ourselves having to reboot the box regularly to get back in. We are unable to even get into the box via the console until we reboot.   The Version is 6.3(5).
I guess there is some fundamental problem with the PIX, do you have a Cisco contract ? If so I would call them up and have it RMA'ed.

Cheers,
Rajesh
