I seem to recall (possibly incorrectly) reading that with
systems that old, you had to use the floppy based recovery.

Sorry, looks like I was confusing the 515 with the 520.

If you still have the box somewhere, here is a hint:
The version is like a PC you have a Bios version and the OS version and you need the OS version to do the procedure, you can find it by doing this:
Boot the unit completly without pressing any key and after you have the prompt "xxx>" do this command "show ver", this will produce a listing beginning like this:
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)
Cisco PIX Device Manager Version 3.0(1)
Compiled on ...
Now you have to take the file according to the version of the PIX Firewall, in this case np63.bin
Good Luck! |

dear god.. i think that version of pix came out before i was born. Ive dealt with a lot of firewalls and sorry to say but my honest best advice to you is scrap that peace of junk. Chances are if you actually found a chassis running on PIX 4.0, it probably doesnt have enough built in memory to handle an upgrade to the newer PIX versions anyhow. You're better off with an old linux box and two NICs running IPtables.. Or just leave it the way it is, and cross your fingers it doesnt get one of its ancient vulnerabilities exploited. 4.0 though, wow, security by obscurity? lol
sorry for the troll.. its not generally my style.
