I have posted several posts here and tried to get a ping response from my PIX515E. I spent several hours with TAC and still no answer. Today I just discovered that my MAC address shows ffff.ffff.ffff. My silly question is that is this some security issue on the 515E?? I have another 515E here and it has a valid MAC address? Could this be a hardware issue? Is the MAC address have to be set statically? Any help would be appricated.
