PIX Devices Without a Floppy Drive

If the PIX device is a newer unit without a floppy drive, perform the following steps. In this process, you type a series of one-word commands, followed by an IP address or a filename. Look at Step four for the information you need.


 Note 

I tried this on my 520 (with floppy and v6.2) and it wouldn’t respond to Step 3.

  1. Start a console session with the PIX unit console port. Because you’re locked out, you should only see a password prompt.

  2. Make sure the TFTP server is running and the appropriate Password Lockout Utility file was copied to the folder TFTP uses as its source.

  3. Power on the PIX Firewall and, as soon as the startup messages appear, send a BREAK character or press the ESC key. For Windows HyperTerminal, use CTRL+BREAK. You might have to do his several times. The monitor> prompt will indicate success.

  4. Make the following entries, pressing ENTER after each. The command is repeated or responded to on the next line.

    monitor> interface 1                          (PIX interface to TFTP)
    0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10) 
    1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11) 
    Using 1: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11), MAC: 0002.b945.a23c 
    monitor> address 192.168.1.1                  (PIX interface address)
    address 192.168.1.1 
    monitor> server 192.168.1.10                  (TFTP server address)
    server 192.168.1.10 
    monitor> file np622.bin                       (PIX Lockout Utility)
    file pix622.bin 
    monitor> ping 192.168.1.10                    (Test connectivity to TFTP)
    Sending 5, 100-byte 0xcde2 ICMP Echoes to 192.168.1.10, timeout is 4 seconds: 
    !!!!! 
    Success rate is 100 percent (5/5) 
    monitor> tftp                                 (starts TFTP copy)

    Do you wish to erase the passwords? [yn] y    (removes passwords)
    Passwords have been erased.
    Rebooting....

  5. With PIX OS v 6.2, if AAA authentication Telnet or console commands are set, the system will also prompt to remove those.

    There should be no enable password. The telnet password is cisco.

  6. In Configuration mode, use passwd new_password to create a new Telnet password and use enable password new_enable_password to create an enable password, and then save your changes with the write memory command.
