Access to the PDM

I cannot access the PDM anymore. It was working until yesterday. I was repeatedly prompted for a password; I checked & reset the PIX clock to the correct GMT as per the troubleshooting guide (it had lost 8 hours). I still cannot bring up the pdm. Here's some of our configuration:

Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.1(4)

Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 1.1(2)

Hardware: PIX-515E, 32 MB RAM, CPU Pentium II 433 MHz

Flash E28F128J3 @ 0x300, 16MB

BIOS Flash AM29F400B @ 0xfffd8000, 32KB

0: ethernet0: address is 000c.85ba.a18b, irq 10

1: ethernet1: address is 000c.85ba.a18c, irq 11

2: ethernet2: address is 0002.b3ca.9e6a, irq 11

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

With that configuration you can't do nothing with the PIX:))

Please give us more details (configuration).

Can you ping the PIX? In what interface are you? Don't you have any ACL applyed to that interface? Is the PIX clock up to date?

Regards.

I can ping the real address of the pix, and access the web server inside the DMZ from an outside box using the static address for the DMZ, from the inside using the address assigned to the inside interface, from one DMZ box to another. I can run a TTY session and log in to the PIX. The clock is using the correct time (4 hours greater than EST, which is right since we're still under daylight savings), I just can't launch a PDM session. Here's all of my configuration, copied & pasted from a write terminal command:

[OK]

I didn't want to include all of this info in a clear text message, but there it is. Do I need to install a newer version of PDM, or just tweak the acl for the inside interface?

thanks.

Hi Charles,

1st, is the config you posted above the actual config from the PIX, if so you have left your network to open abuse, I hope that the above config is not the real config of your PIX.

2nd, What happens if your use a static (reserved) IP for your inside PDM access i.e.

> http server enable

> http 255.255.255.255 inside

save with command: write memory

and open up IE on the inside of the above IP address client with https://

Hope this helps and let me know how you get on - Thanks.

Still not working - I even issued a clear http, enalbe http, specified an internal static address with the netmask of all 255's, saved it to memory, and then tried to access the PDM, to no avail.

I had the same problem, one day it worked fine, the other day it didn't. Till I cleared the cache (temp files) in MS Internet Explorer, then it worked again.

Still I don't know it's a known problem.

Regards

Aad

Could you elaborate how the network is open to abuse. What lines are incorrect and how would you fix them,

Thanks,

Scott
