Figure 4-9 Two Single-Port Ethernet Connectors in the PIX 515/515E
Note As shown in Figure 4-9, if your unit has one or two single-port Ethernet circuit boards installed
in the auxiliary assembly on the left of the unit at the rear, the circuit boards are numbered top
to bottom so that the top circuit board is Ethernet 2 and the bottom circuit board is Ethernet 3.
(Additional Ethernet circuit boards require the PIX-515/PIX 515E-UR license to be accessed.)
If you have a second PIX Firewall to use as a failover unit, install the failover feature and cable as
described in “Installing Failover”.
Note Do not power on the failover units until the active unit has been configured.
Step 4 Power on the unit from the switch at the rear to start the PIX 515/515E.
PIX 515/515E Feature Licenses
If you have the PIX-515/515E-UR unrestricted feature license, the following options are available:
• If you have a second PIX 515/515E to use as a failover unit, install the failover feature and cable as
described in “Installing Failover”.
• If needed, install the PIX Firewall Syslog Server as described in the logging command page in the
Cisco PIX Firewall Command Reference.
• Refer to “Removing and Replacing the PIX 515/515E Chassis Cover”, for information about how to
remove and replace the chassis cover if you need to install optional circuit boards.
Note It is very important to remove the chassis cover before installing circuit boards in the PIX 515/515E.
Even though it may appear possible to add or remove circuit boards from the back panel, removing the
chassis cover greatly simplifies the process.
• If you need to install additional memory, refer to “Installing a Memory Upgrade”.
Note If, for any reason, you may choose to downgrade to any software version, note that you must use the
clear flashfs command before doing so. A new section is added to Flash memory that must be cleared
before downgrading.
