Core issue
This condition occurs when a user:
- Loads the PIX Device Manager (PDM) image 3.0.0.134
- Has a gigabit interface card
- Configures the IP address for the interface and names it outside
- Connects to the PIX Firewall through the PDM
- Goes to System Properties under the Failover tab
- Then sees that the outside interface is not displayed in the failover panel.
This issue occurs due to the presence of Cisco bug ID CSCdz77856.
Resolution
As a workaround, perform either of these steps:
- Configure the failover interfaces that do not appear on the PDM through the PIX Command Line Interface (CLI).
- Upgrade the PDM to version 3.0(0.139) or later.
