Hi. My PIX 501 suddenly stopped working last night after a power outage and it is not comeing back up.
My interface is showing line protocol down. I hooked it up to an switch, and the link like on the switch showed up but the interface on the pix still showed line protocol down.
The result is the same with various patch cables, and the light on the front of the PIX is dark regardless of what I do.
Did my Firewall's enternal interface go bad? If so is there anything that I can do to help determine if it did, and if so can I get it repaired or anything so I can have my firewall working again? Here is the output of show interface ethernet0.
interface ethernet0 "outside" is up, line protocol is down Hardware is i82559 ethernet, address is 000b.4605.ce1f MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit half duplex 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 9 packets output, 5310 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets 0 babbles, 0 late collisions, 0 deferred 9 lost carrier, 0 no carrier input queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (128/128) software (0/0) output queue (curr/max blocks): hardware (0/1) software (0/1)
I also made sure the interface was set to auto.
The only thing that happened between yesterday and today was a power outage that lasted about 10 hours.
Thanks
