has anyone have much success with the "auto-update" feature in Cisco Pix Firewall? From what I've read, this feature allows the firewall to automatically retrieve the latest code and configuration from the "auto-update" server. However, I am having trouble to get it work.
Here is what I put on the Pix firewall config: auto-update device-id hardware-serial auto-update poll-period 1 5 1 auto-update server https://199.0.216.222/pix622.bin The "auto-update" server is a Solaris running Apache to serve http and https connection. The problem is that I can see the pix firewall trying to connect to the "auto-update" server but I am not seeing it downloading anything from the "auto-update" server. The pix is running version 6.2(1) and I have an image onthe "auto-update" server that is pix622.bin. I reboot the pix several times but I still have version 6.2(1). Now if I decide to this mannually then it works: pix# copy https://199.0.216.222/pix622.bin flash copying https://199.0.216.222/pix622.bin to flash:image !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received 1658880 bytes Erasing current image Writing 1540152 bytes of image !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image installed pix# wr t After that, I reboot the firewall and it comes up with version 6.2(2). However, because this requires human intervention, it defeats the purpose of "auto-update". I have to manage 50 Pix firewalls and I would like to use this "auto-update" feature to automatically upgrade the code image and configuration. Anyone has success with this feature, please let me know. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=50003&t=50003 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
