I have just upgraded a PIX 515 to 6.2.1 from 6.1 There was a problem in that the image stopped after 5 secs. I had to erase the flash and the reload the new image and she worked great.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. > > Regards > > Marcos I encountered similar problems late one evening uploading an image to a router, I tried to switch to the Cisco TFTP server, which also bugged out with an error message saying 'failed (state error)' With both servers the transfer stopped after about 5 seconds, and then timed out after about a minute. The solution in my case was to follow the advice in: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/install_tftp.html#state_error Disabling logging in solarwinds did not improve the situation that night. As to the reason for the failure... I expect that to be one of those little demons that pops up friday night when you want to go for a beer with your friends but instead have to sacrifice hours in front of the routers. I did learn a lot of partitioning flash, how to get hold of spare RAM at 8 PM in the evening, quirks of tftp-servers and mss-settings in GRE-tunnels. After that the tftp-servers have behaved, and I am still partial to the possession theory until something better comes up :-) Bjorn This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
