Pixfirewall and traffic blocking issue

[sfanayei]

Hi,

I have running a pixfirewall 515 vers. 6.3(3). Time to time i am experiencing that my firerwall is blocking traffic and i can either ping or telnet to it. I am logging with trap informational level to a syslog server. How can I found out, what was hapning at the given time?

Tanks in advance.

Hi.

What you can do is try using capture command to filter out exact traffic. Make an access list with predefined source and destination. Use this access list in the capture statement which will show you exactly what is happening.

e.g

access-list test permit ip host a.b.c.d host k.l.m.n

capture abc access-list test in interface

logging on

I have same problem with PIX 506E.

I tried following one by one.

1. Firewall Config

2. Capture Access-list or interface.

3. Monitor the ports for input output queues.

But none of this wor

So finally have to replace my PIX with the new one..
