Hi All,

I have a pix 535 running 6.3(5) code.

As cisco recommends , I tried to uprade from monitor mode to 7.2. The first step that the doc suggests is to configure the interface to which the laptop(that console-d the pix) is connected to.

the command is "monitor>interface <num>"

But it didnot accept when I gave the interface number. It gives me the following o/p

monitor> interface 1 (I tried 2 as well)

0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:2 irq:255)

1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:1 irq:255)

Ethernet auto negotiation timed out.

Ethernet port 1 could not be initialized.

Tried the below as well :

monitor> interface gb-ethernet1 (tried 2 as well )

0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:2 irq:255)

1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:1 irq:255)

Ethernet auto negotiation timed out.

Ethernet port 0 could not be initialized.

Checked the speed/duplex settings on the FW and switch. They are set to AUTO.

After giving the IP address/gateway/server(tftp) information , from the pix , I am not able to ping the laptop.

I believe the "interface" command created this issue.

Looking for a resolution

IP of Laptop - 9.52.115.92

Gateway - 9.52.112.145

The Laptop is trying to access the PIX via the production interface of the PIX.

The truncated config is attached.

Let me know if you need further detials

Thanks,
