PIX 506e OS Upgrade (How do I do it?)

Hello,
I have never upgraded an OS on a PIX firewall but now I have to take OS 6.2.2 and put it to OS 6.3.5.
I have downloaded the pix635.bin file to my desktop and installed PumpKIN (TFTP server program).
Can someone please provide me with instructions on how to do this? Like I said im new at this, I have entry knowledge of PIX so try to make it make sense, cause i found a few sites online that explained it but they were written messy without explantion of what each command did and what needs to go there.
Thanks in advance

If you use the PDM remember to download the latest version of the PDM too. The following will show you how to upgrade the PIX.

Linksys WRT600N vs CISCO PIX 506E.... Firewall / Routing Performance

Hi:
I am new to the forum and was hoping to tap into some of your expertise. I have a Linksys WRT600N version 1.1 and I recently acquired a CISCO PIX 506E firewall. My question is what should I use as a firewall? Both have SPI etc. Should I:
a) Use the 506E as a firewall and use the 600 as a wireless access point, or
b) Use the 600 as a firewall and wireless access point.
Do both routers have the same firewall routing performance? I want to use the storage feautre on the 600N, but if I do that and use it as a wireless access point the 600 can't get the proper time from the Internet, so my time for newly created folders and files shows they are 10 years old.
Anyway, just thought I would post and find out what some of the experts thought and maybe someone from Linksys or CISCO. I know the 506E is discontinued and was manufactured around 2001 and the 600N is a new model.
(Edited subject to keep threads from stretching. Thanks!)

The PIX is a real firewall. The WRT has a firewall which mostly protects the router itself. People prefer to buy a "SPI firewall router" instead of a simple "router" even though the router firewall does nothing or little to protect the LAN. The only firewall configurations on the WRTs you can usually do is on the Access Restrictions tab. But that's usually all. The LAN itself is not protected by the firewall. You would notice this if you had a public IP subnet and ran it through the WRT: the LAN would be fully exposed to the internet. Some routers have a few functions like protection against denial of service attacks or similar. But even then this often filters only the traffic targeted at the router and not the LAN.
The common protection of your LAN you have on the WRT is because you use private IP addresses inside your LAN and the router does NAT. However, NAT is not a security mechanism but a mechanism to solve the problem that you can only have a single public IP address but want to use multiple computers, which is why you have to use private IP addresses. Current NAT implementations usually drop unsolicited incoming traffic because they don't know to which IP address in the LAN to send it to. But the notion of NAT is to deliver and to allow connectivity. This has nothing to do with security or a firewall.
Thus, if you want to use a real firewall use the PIX. On the PIX you can configure the traffic which is allowed to enter the LAN and which not. It is far superior in this respect to the WRT. However, as it is a older model, I cannot tell how fast the PIX is. You should be able to find the old data sheets of the PIX somewhere on the cisco website. They should mention the possible throughput. I guess it won't be an issue.
To me another point for the PIX are the VPN capabilities which allow you to securely access your LAN while you are on the road.
Of course, you must know how to configure the PIX correctly. It is a complex device and can be configured pretty much for anything you like. This means of course if you do it wrong you may end up with little or no security.
BTW, there are no people from linksys in this forums except the moderators (which may be from lithium). To hear from Linksys you have to contact Linksys support.

Manual for PIX 506E?

Hi everyone! I just became in charge of a PIX 506E, which I have no experience with. I was not told how it was set up, what the password is, etc...Oh, and the dongle for the console connection is non-existent as well.
On Cisco's website, I can't find any manuals for it. The only documentation I could find was a quick setup guide, which is not helpful at all if it is already set up.
Basically, I am looking for any help anyone can provide so that I can get into the interface for the PIX 506E so I can see how things are set up and to change things in the future. Thank you in advance!

This could be a long journey or a short one, but for sake to help you here we go..
When I say long journey it is because all depends on what type of resources you have at hand, at least you have us in netpro, but more specifically if you do not know the admin password for the PIX that is number one headache, you need password recovery procedure, please try to make an effort to obtain the password to not go through all these procedures, if you cannot then you need password recovery .
See password recovery.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_password_recovery09186a008009478b.shtml
Please have handy these tools
1- Console cable to connect to COM port in PC and PIX console port
2- Terminal emulator - hyperterminal
3- Mini hub to connect your PC and pix pysical interface to it
4- tftp server software running on your PC
Follow instructions on link.
As for instructions about the PIX there are hundreds of documentation in Cisco website, we can direct you to them but first you need to gain access to PIX.

Can PIX 506e return port unreachable

Hello
Can PIX 506e return ICMP port unreachable on Linux traceroute with UDP data gram, and if somebody knows how, can you make an example of the access-list how it should be written to allow this response?

PIX won't return an ICMP port unreachable message and access lists cannot be configured to make PIX to respond a port unreachable.

I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?

If you don't have a backup, then all your pics/text/notes are gone.
You can sync back music and app. If you were syncing your contacts with a program in itunes, then you'll get that back.
Not sure why you didn't do a backup, especially prior to doing an upgrade.

After upgrade how do I close my apps to save my battery

after upgrade how do I close my apps to save my battery

Double tap the home button, then when in multitasking view take your index finger and swipe up on a card to completely exit the app. Same goes for safari but instead of swiping up swipe to the left or tap the x icon when you are in the multi page view.

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.

Sorry, but we cannot help you with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums. You will have to look on other web sites, perhaps that of the place where you go the jailbreak, for assistance.

PIX 506E routes died

Hello experts...
I've had a set of PIX 506E boxes holding an IPSEC tunnel for a good year or so without a hitch. Today, the tunnel dropped and I lost access to the remote site. The local PIX can only ping devices on the local [inside] subnet and all nodes on all my other subnets can't find a route to the PIX. On the local gateway, I can ping the PIX, but can't traceroute to it. I also ran an ICMP debug and could see when remote nodes ping, but the reply doesn't leave the box.
Nothing has changed, routes all look good, i've reset everything -- no luck at all. Any idea what may be happening? I have a feeling it's a basic issue that looks more complex that it is, but i'm stumped at this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jad

Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix? If so, how do I accomplish this?

Our church used an HP for 12 years that was refurbished and finally died. We captured Sunday services for broadcast using Avid Express connected to a Broadcast Pix Switcher via an Avid Mojo with a firewire cable. This week, I replaced it the HP with a Mac in hopes of using Final Cut Pro to capture and edit video for broadcast. Will Final Cut Pro X recognize Avid Mojo interfacing with Broadcast Pix? If so, how do I accomplish this? Currently I have the mojo connected to the Mac via a firewire adapter through the thunderbolt port. However, the Mac isn't seeing the mojo or the cameras connected to the switcher.

Just turned off background rendering.
I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,083
Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,274
Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?
