Hi,
I just installed a new Pix 515e in our office over the weekend. This is the first time I've used a Pix, but I do have a few years experience with Cisco routers. Today, one of the users in my NAT pool wasn't able to connect to the internet roughly halfway through the day. Giving him a new address out of a different DHCP pool seemed to do the trick and fixed his problem. However, I'm concerned about why he lost it in the first place. I know on Cisco routers you can specify the timeout lengths for NAT sessions and I'm wondering if this might be a possible culprit on the Pix. I just haven't been able to find the command to look at this, though. Any suggestions?
Also, the Pix just lost its net connection entirely. I was logged into it using the PDM and had just enabled debug level logging to my syslog server (still not working for some reason) and all interfaces on the Pix stopped responding. I had to do a reload from the console in order to get a connection again. Any ideas what might be causing these issues?
