RE: PIX firewall Problem !!!

[Christiaan Meihsl <Christiaan.Meihsl () reuters com>]

I had same type of problem (or NIC defaulting to half-duplex even
though it is capable of full duplex)between CISCO switches and :
- various SUN boxes (specially if have 2 NICs connected to 2 different switch
ports)
- various PCs with various mixes of NICs and drivers
I ended up blocking all the settings both sides.

This seems to be the common problem with FastEthernet using Cisco switches
and other Cisco equipment. So far I've found that I need to set the switch
to 100Mbit/Full for each PIX (or router!) that's connected, otherwise you
see problems with the port going up and down. Same seems to go for Sun boxes
too.

  Our PIX 520 (with 5.2 OS), is directly connected to a 48 port
FastEthernet blade in a Cisco 6509 switch.  We had a similar problem
where the port the PIX was plugged into would shut itself off -- went
into an "errdisable" state.  The "fix" for us was to change it from
autosense and set the port on the Cisco to 100Mbit/Full duplex.  We
haven't had this problem since.
