No LAN connectivity on Pix 515E

Apr 28, 2007 5 Replies

Having a problem with Pix515E that I just configured where I can't ping nodes on LAN from the pix and vice versa. Pix has an outside interface which is plugged in, the additional interface is not plugged in and not being used, and there is a built in 4 port switch on the unit that I have two workstations plugged into with static ip addresses on the internal network (10.10.10.x). Workstations get the link light and signal but request times out when pinging the pix(and can't ping workstations from pix either). Although I am able to ping out to the Internet from the pix I cannot communicate with the internal network. I think it may be related to the "interface ethernet1 "inside" is up, line protocol is down" when I do a show int. DataLink layer problem? Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?? I pasted a show int command followed by my pix config. Thank you

The PIX 515E does *not* have a 4-port switch: every connection on the PIX 515E is a different interface.

The PIX 501 is the only PIX model with a 4-port switch, but it does not have "ethernet2", so you can't be using a PIX 501.

Do you hve internal interface plugged in same as outside interface.. ? If not it will not be pinged from any interface..

My external interface Ethernet0 is plugged in to the Router. The next port over is Ethernet1 and is not plugged in. Then there are 4 ports together that look like a switch at the other end. I have my servers plugged into two of those ports. which port is intf2?? strange because servers get a signal and link but no communication beyond that... _________________________________________ OOOO O ethernet1 Oethernet0 _________________________________________

First of all, your Pix is only recognizing 3 interfaces based on your config above. Means only one thing, you have a 515R, it only supports 3 interfaces.

As you have it layed out above: Eth6, Eth5, Eth4, Eth3........Eth1......Eth0

You do not see 6,5 and 4 in the config because you are not licensed for those interface. They are physical interfaces, not switch ports as you have already been told by another member.

I didn't realize interfaces needed to be licensed. Thanks I will look into that.
