Obtaining Technical Assistance
Introduction
This release note describes the new features, restrictions, and caveats for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall 5.3(1) release.
System Requirements
The following sections describe the system requirements for operating a Cisco Secure PIX Firewall unit with version 5.3(1) software.
Memory Requirements
Note
All PIX Firewall units must have at least 32 MB of RAM memory or the PIX Firewall unit will not boot. In addition, all units except the PIX 506 must have at least 16 MB of Flash memory to boot. The PIX 506 has 8 MB of Flash memory, which works correctly with version 5.2 and higher.
The following table lists Flash memory requirements for this release:
Software Requirements
The following is required for version 5.3(1):
1.
The PIX Firewall image no longer fits on a diskette. If you are using a PIX Firewall unit with a diskette drive, you need to download the Boothelper file, bh531.bin, from Cisco Connection Online (CCO) to let you download the PIX Firewall image with TFTP.
2.
If you are upgrading from version 4 or earlier and want to use the IPSec or VPN features or commands, you must have an activation (license) key that enables Data Encryption Standard (DES) or the more secure 3DES.
To obtain a DES (56-bit) license key for the PIX Firewall, use the IPSec 56-bit Customer Registration form. Accessing this form requires prior registration on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/register. However, access to this form does not require a purchase or service contract. You can register as a guest and then proceed to fill out the form. The form is available at the following website:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl?pid=221&fid=324
You must purchase a 3DES (168-bit) license key, or have a service contract, to obtain a 3DES license key. If you have already purchased a 3DES upgrade, and you have your Cisco PIX Firewall 3DES upgrade document with the entitlement number printed on it, you can register your license key for use on your PIX Firewall with the License Registration form. Accessing this form also requires prior registration on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/register. The License Registration form is available at the following website:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Software/FormManager/formgenerator.pl?pid=221&fid=301
You must also purchase or have a service contract to download PIX Firewall software.
3.
If you are using PFSS (PIX Firewall Syslog Server), Cisco recommends you install Windows NT Service Pack 6 to fix year 2000 conflicts in Windows NT.
4.
If you are upgrading from a previous PIX Firewall version, save your configuration and write down your activation key and serial number. Refer to the Configuration Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3 for new installation requirements.
Cisco IOS Software Interoperability
If you use IKE Mode Config with the PIX Firewall, any routers on the IPSec connection must run Cisco IOS Release 12.0(6)T or later.
Cisco Secure Policy Manager Interoperability
Cisco Secure Policy Manager (Cisco Secure PM), version 2.1, provides policy-based management support for PIX Firewall units running version 4.2, 4.4, and 5.1 software images. Cisco Secure PM version 2.2 supports PIX Firewall version 5.2 and higher.
Refer to the documentation set for Cisco Secure PM at the following site:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ismg/policy/index.htm
Cisco Secure VPN Client Interoperability
PIX Firewall version 5.2 and higher requires Cisco Secure VPN Client version 1.1. The Cisco Secure VPN Client can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT version 4.0. The Cisco Secure VPN Client is not supported for use with Windows 2000.
Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator and Client Interoperability
PIX Firewall version 5.2 and higher requires Cisco VPN 3000 Client version 2.5 or later and Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator version 2.5.2 or later. The Cisco VPN 3000 Client can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT version 4.0. The Cisco VPN 3000 Client is not supported for use with Windows 2000.
PIX Firewall Manager Interoperability
You can use PIX Firewall version 5.2 and higher with the PIX Firewall Manager version 4.3(2)g. Refer to the Release Notes for the PIX Firewall Manager Version 4.3(2)g for more information. You can view this document online at the following site:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/index.htm
The PIX Firewall Manager (PFM) lets you manage PIX Firewall units; however, it does not let you configure any PIX Firewall features added after version 4.3(2).
The "Frequently Asked Questions" section in the PFM release notes provides useful troubleshooting information.
Determining the Software Version
Use the show version command to verify the software version of your PIX Firewall unit.
Upgrading to a New Software Release
If you have a Cisco Connection Online (CCO) login, you can obtain software from the following site:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pix
New and Changed Information
The following describes the new software and hardware information in this 5.3(1) release.
New Hardware Features in Release 5.3(1)
The sections describe the new hardware features in the 5.3(1) release.
VPN Accelerator
The VPN Accelerator (PIX-VPN-ACCEL) is a new encryption accelerator board. For more information on the VPN Accelerator, refer to the Installation Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3. Observe the following before installing the VPN Accelerator:
•
Do not use a Private Link board and a VPN Accelerator in the same PIX Firewall chassis. If your PIX Firewall has a Private Link board installed, you should remove the Private Link board before installing the VPN Accelerator.
•
The VPN Accelerator uses a PCI interface and therefore can only be installed in PIX Firewall platforms with PCI slots.
•
Before downgrading from version 5.3(1) to an earlier version, remove the VPN accelerator board from your PIX Firewall unit. The PIX 535 cannot be downgraded to earlier versions.
PIX 535
The new PIX 535 model has the fastest performance and highest capacity of any of the PIX Firewall series. Observe the following before installing the PIX 535:
•
PIX 535 only supports PIX Firewall software version 5.3 or later. Installing a version earlier than 5.3 using the copy tftp flash command causes a condition in which the PIX 535 fails repeatedly. Should this occur, when the PIX 535 unit restarts, press the Escape key on your console workstation to access Monitor mode and load version 5.3 or later before proceeding with the startup.
•
A PIX 535 configured with only Gigabit interfaces will not be capable of upgrading an Activation key. Activation key upgrades require Monitor mode for all systems without floppy disk drives. Monitor mode does not support Gigabit interfaces. A Fast Ethernet interface must be installed to use Monitor mode.
A PIX 535 with Gigabit Ethernet should be populated only with PIX-1GE66 Gigabit Ethernet adaptors. The PIX-1GE functions, but with significantly reduced throughput (about 50 percent). The software displays a warning if a PIX-1GE is detected.
If a PIX 535 is ordered with Gigabit interfaces only, an additional Fast Ethernet interface is included with the unit so that the Activation key may be upgraded.
•
For the PIX 535, the only supported Ethernet interface types are the i82558 or i82559. You can view the interface type in the second line of the show interface command output. The correct interface type displays as "Hardware is i82558 ethernet" or "Hardware is i82559 ethernet."
For more information on the PIX 535, refer to the Installation Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3.
The PIX 535 provides the following features:
New Software Features in Release 5.3(1)
The following features are new in version 5.3(1):
•
DHCP—DHCP Server now supports 32 clients instead of 10 clients.
•
nat 0 access list—There is no longer a restriction on having nat 0 access-list and
nat 0 (Identity NAT) configured at the same time. Both nat 0 and nat 0 access-list may be configured concurrently.•
RIP Version 2—RIP Version 2 multicast is now supported on the PIX Firewall.
Refer to the Configuration Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3 for complete information about each software feature. IPSec features are described in the IPSec User Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3.
Command Changes
1.
sysopt connection enforcesubnet—This command has been deleted from the Command Line Interface.
2.
show eeprom—Displays the current PIX Firewall eeprom contents.
eeprom update—Update the eeprom contents.
3.
Global RADIUS port definition option:
aaa-server radius-authport <authport>—Specifies RADIUS server authentication.
aaa-server radius-acctport <acctport>—Specifies RADIUS server accounting.
Note
This is a global setting that takes effect when RADIUS is started. The default ports are 1645 for authentication and 1646 for accounting as defined in RFC 2058. Newer RADIUS servers may use the port numbers 1812 and 1813 as defined in RFC 2138 and 2139. If your server uses ports other than 1645 and 1646, then you should define ports using the aaa-server radius-authport andaaa-server radius-acctport commands prior to starting the RADIUS service with the aaa-server command.
Syslog Messages
The following are new or changed syslog messages in PIX Firewall software version 5.3(1):
•
%PIX-3-305008—Free unallocated global IP detected
•
%PIX-2-211002—Failed to allocate channel
This syslog message,%PIX-2-211002, is no longer used.
•
The following message has been changed from:
%PIX-2-106002:protocol# Connection denied by outbound list
list_ID src laddr/lport dest faddr/fport
Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is logged if the specified connection fails because of an outbound deny command statement. The protocol# variable is 1 for ICMP, 6 for TCP, and 17 for UDP.
To the following:
%PIX-2-106002:protocol Connection denied by outbound list
list_ID src laddr dest faddr
Explanation This is a connection-related message. This message is logged if the specified connection fails because of an outbound deny command statement. The protocol variable can be ICMP, TCP, or UDP.
•
The following message has been changed from:
%PIX-3-106010:Deny inbound from outside:IP_addr to inside:IP_addr chars
To the following:
%PIX-3-106010:Deny inbound icmp src outside:IP_addr dst inside:IP_addr (type dec, code dec)
•
The following message has been changed from:
%PIX-3-305006:Invalid dst is network/broadcast IP, translation creation failed for protocol src int_name:IP_addr dst int_name:IP_addr.
To the following:
%PIX-3-305006:Regular translation creation failed for protocol src int_name:IP_addr/port dst int_name:IP_addr/port
All syslog messages are described in the System Log Messages for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3 document.
Documentation Changes
AAA
The clear aaa command is shown in the "Command Reference" chapter of the Configuration Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3 as:
clear aaa [accounting include | exclude authen_service inbound | outbound | if_name group_tag]
clear aaa [authentication include | exclude authen_service inbound | outbound | if_name local_ip local_mask foreign_ip foreign_mask group_tag]
The description of this command should be shown with a bracket before the include and after exclude, and before inbound and after outbound:
clear aaa [accounting [include | exclude] authen_service [inbound | outbound] if_name group_tag]
clear aaa [authentication [include | exclude] authen_service [inbound | outbound] if_name local_ip local_mask foreign_ip foreign_mask group_tag]
Configuring Failover
There is a change in the failover installation instructions in the Configuration Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3. In the printed document, this change is in the section, "Configuring Failover" in Chapter 3, "Advanced Conversations." This change may be viewed at this website:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_v53/config/advanced.htm#xtocid227608
•
Previous text:
Step 2 Ensure that all active network interfaces are connected between both units.
•
New text:
Step 2 Attach a network cable between the Primary and Secondary units for each network interface to which you have configured an IP address.
Important Notes
The following sections describe important notes for the 5.3(1) release.
16 MB Board
8 MB or more of Flash is required to install and run PIX software version 5.3(1). The purchase and installation of Flash upgrade PIX-FLASH-16MB= is required for PIX, PIX10000, PIX 510, or
PIX 520 revisions A0 through C0 to install version 5.3(1). PIX 520 revisions may be identified by the Flash type as reported in a show version command request. 2 MB models contain the AT29C040A Flash OR ATMEL , and 16 MB models contain the i28F640J5 Flash.AAA
The Configuration Guide for the Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Version 5.3 incorrectly states that the maximum number of AAA servers is 14. This information appears as usage note 15 on the aaa command page and in the group_tag description for the aaa-server command page. Both these command pages appear in Chapter 5, "Command Reference." You can have up to 16 AAA servers per tag group, up to 14 AAA server tag groups, and a total of up to 224 AAA servers.
Access-list
The new access-list option changes the behavior of the nat 0 command. (Without the access-list option, the command is backward compatible with previous versions.) The nat 0 implemented the identity feature; this new version of the command disables NAT. Specifically, the new behavior disables proxy ARPing for the IP addresses in the nat 0 command statement.
Cisco Secure Policy Manager
PIX Firewall version 5.1(2) and later, by default, generates the isakmp identity hostname command prior to any crypto configuration. Subsequently, when attempting to configure Cisco Secure VPN Client (version 2.1.2), an IPSec tunnel cannot be established because it defaults to an IP address as its default ID Type. This causes failure with the Cisco Secure Policy Manager version 2.1 when it tries to configure the PIX Firewall through an IPSec tunnel.
Cisco Secure VPN Client
When using the Cisco Secure VPN Client with SoftID, the single password challenge prompt only appears for 30 seconds. When two passwords are required, the prompt only appears for approximately 60 seconds. You must enter your password information promptly before the timeout expires. Refer to caveat CSCds59105 for more information.
DHCP
The following notes apply to DHCP:
•
A new DHCP command, dhcpd ping_timeout, is introduced. This command allows setting a ping timeout value before assigning an IP to a DHCP client.
DHCP daemon can be enabled on inside interface only. The DHCP Server on the PIX Firewall does not support clients that not directly connected to the inside interface.
The maximum lease supported on PIX is 2147483647, not 0xFFFFFFFF (as in RFC 2131).
•
PIX Firewall removes an IP address from the pool of available DHCP IP addresses if a host responds to a ping request that the PIX Firewall sends prior to issuing the IP address to the DHCP client. The address removed from the pool can only be made available again by rebooting the PIX Firewall, or by disabling and then reenabling the DHCP server command statements in the configuration. Refer to CSCds51664 in the Bug Navigator on CCO to view more information.
DNS
PIX Firewall drops DNS packets sent to UDP port 53 that have a packet size larger than 512 bytes.
Failover
Ensure that all PIX Firewall interfaces to which you assign an IP address are connected between the Primary unit and Secondary unit.
Gigabit Ethernet
If, after configuring a PIX Firewall unit for Gigabit Ethernet boards, you replace the boards with 10/100 Ethernet boards, the order of the boards in the configuration changes from what you originally configured. For example, if you configure ethernet0 for a Gigabit Ethernet board assigned to the inside interface and replace this board with a 10/100 Ethernet board, the board may no longer appear as ethernet0.
ISAKMP
•
When CRL checking is configured as mandatory, PIX Firewall takes about two minutes to poll the CRL from the VeriSign CA Server during ISAKMP negotiation. As a result, ISAKMP negotiation fails with the message "ISAKMP (0):Unknown error in cert validation, 0" and packets are lost until the PIX Firewall receives the CRL. Refer to caveat CSCdr89880 for more information.
•
Use the following information to configure the isakmp keepalive command:
isakmp keepalive <seconds> [retry <seconds>]
The keepalive interval can be between 10 and 3600 seconds. The retry interval can be between 2 and 10 seconds, with the default being 2 seconds. The retry interval is the interval between retries after a keepalive response has not been received. For more information on keepalive see the following Cisco IOS software documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/so/neso/vpn/vpne/vpne_an.htm
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/so/neso/sqso/eqso/dplip_in.htm
PIX 525
•
PIX 525 in version 5.3(1) supports up to eight interfaces with an unrestricted license (UR). The restricted license (R)supports up to six interfaces. The show version command lists the maximum number of supported interfaces on the unit. If you add more interfaces than are supported, the additional interfaces are ignored. However, when you first start the PIX 525 unit, the startup messages display the number of installed interfaces followed by two error messages stating that interfaces are disabled. You can ignore these messages and use only the information in the show version command to verify the correct number of supported interfaces. Refer to CSCds44827 in the Bug Navigator on CCO to view more information.
•
There are no hardware or software limitations regarding using more than 2 Gigabit interfaces
in the PIX 525 as of the 5.2 version software release.There is a performance limitation because the PIX 525 uses a 32-bit PCI bus.
PPTP
If you configure PIX Firewall for 128-bit encryption and if a Windows 95 or Windows 98 client does not support 128-bit or greater encryption, the connection to the PIX Firewall is refused. When this occurs, the Windows client moves the dial-up connection menu down to the screen corner while the PPP negotiation is in progress. This gives the appearance that the connection is accepted when it is not. When the PPP negotiation completes, the tunnel terminates and PIX Firewall ends the connection. The Windows client eventually times out and disconnects.
RAS
H.323 RAS fixups cannot be disabled through the PIX Firewall when the PIX Firewall unit is between the H.323 Gateway and Gatekeeper. When the PIX Firewall is between the Gateway and Gatekeeper, whenever PIX Firewall detects RAS packets, it enables packet checking. Use the debug h323 ras event command to determine if RAS packets are passing through the PIX Firewall.
Sample output from the debug h323 ras event command appears as follows:
57:RAS::RRQ received from 10.130.4.250/51527 to 10.132.4.6/1719
58:RAS::RCF received from 10.132.4.6/1719 to 10.132.4.250/51527
The first line shows that a RAS registration request was received by the PIX Firewall. The next line shows that the request was confirmed.
If the PIX Firewall unit is not between the Gateway and Gatekeeper, you can enable RAS fixups with the fixup protocol h323 1720 command. If the PIX Firewall unit is not between the Gateway and Gatekeeper, you can disable RAS fixups with the no fixup protocol h323 1720 command.
However, if the PIX Firewall unit is between the Gateway and Gatekeeper, the
no fixup protocol h323 1720 command has no effect and RAS fixups continue automatically.RIP Version 2
With version 5.3, when RIP version 2 is configured in passive mode, the PIX Firewall accepts
RIP version 2 multicast updates with IP destination of 224.0.0.9. For RIP version 2 default mode, the PIX Firewall will transmit default route updates using an IP destination of 224.0.0.9. Configuring RIP version 2 registers the multicast address 224.0.0.9 on the respective interface in order to be able to accept multicast RIP version 2 updates.Only Intel 10/100 and Gigabit interfaces support multicasting. FDDI and Token Ring will still operate in broadcast mode (IP destination 255.255.255.255 not 224.0.0.9).
When the RIP version 2 commands for an interface are removed, the multicast address is unregistered from the interface card.
RTSP
You can configure NAT for Apple QuickTime 4 or RealPlayer. Cisco IP/TV only works with NAT if the Viewer and Content Manager are on the outside and the server on the inside.
SMTP
As of version 5.1 and later, the fixup protocol smtp command changes the characters in the SMTP banner to asterisks except for the "2", "0", "0 "characters. Carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF) characters are ignored. In version 4.4, all characters in the SMTP banner are converted to asterisks. Refer to CSCds33156 in the Bug Navigator on CCO to view more information.
Token Authentication
For use with the crypto map token authentication command, token based authentication for the Cisco VPN 3000 Client connecting to a PIX Firewall has been tested and verified for the following token devices:
•
Security Dynamics (SDI) SecurID/ACE Server with SDI RADIUS
–
Next Token mode
–
New Pin mode
•
SDI with CiscoSecure ACS NT version
–
Next Token mode
–
New Pin mode
•
SDI with CiscoSecure ACS UNIX version
–
Next Token mode
–
New Pin mode does not work
Token based authentication using the SDI RADIUS server has also been tested and verified with the Cisco Secure VPN Client version 1.1 including:
•
Next Token mode
•
New Pin mode

Open Caveats - Release 5.3(1)
•
CSCds80108
Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (Cisco Secure IDS) signature number 1101 is not supported by PIX Firewall. When an unsupported signature number is entered, PIX Firewall returns an error message:
pixfirewall(config)# ip audit signature 1101 disable usage:ip audit signature number disable
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
pixfirewall(config)#•
CSCds69891
Before downgrading from version 5.3(1) to an earlier version, remove the VPN accelerator board from your PIX Firewall unit. The PIX 535 cannot be downgraded to earlier versions.
•
CSCds67745
If you configure a network static where the network static is the same as a third party netmask and address, then an outbound H.323 connection fails. The following example clarifies this problem:
The interfaces in the example are as follows:
–
The outside interface IP address:10.1.1.6
–
The inside interface IP address:10.0.0.5
–
Embedded address on inside interface:10.0.0.7
Example network static command statement:
static (inside,outside) 10.1.1.0 10.0.0.0
This command maps the inside host address of 10.0.0.5 to the outside global address of 10.1.1.5 and the inside host address 10.0.0.7 to the outside global address of 10.1.1.7.
If the PIX Firewall encounters a packet from 10.1.1.5 to 10.0.0.5 with the embedded IP address of 10.1.1.7, the PIX Firewall unit will not be able to determine if the embedded IP address belongs to the inside or outside network.

When using the Cisco Secure VPN Client with SoftID, the single password challenge prompt only appears for 30 seconds. When two passwords are required, the prompt only appears for approximately 60 seconds. You must enter your password information promptly before the timeout expires.
•
CSCds51664
PIX Firewall removes an IP address from the pool of available DHCP IP addresses if a host responds to a ping request that the PIX Firewall sends prior to issuing the IP address to the DHCP client. The address removed from the pool can only be made available again by rebooting the PIX Firewall, or by disabling and then reenabling the DHCP server command statements in the configuration.

However, when you first start the PIX 525 unit, the startup messages display the number of installed interfaces followed by two error messages stating that interfaces are disabled. You can ignore these messages and use only the information in the
show version command to verify the correct number of supported interfaces.•
CSCds33156
As of version 5.1 and later, the fixup protocol smtp command changes the characters in the SMTP banner to asterisks except for the "2", "0", "0 " characters. Carriage return (CR) and linefeed (LF) characters are ignored. In version 4.4, all characters in the SMTP banner are converted to asterisks.

CSCdr89880
When CRL checking is configured as mandatory, PIX Firewall takes about two minutes to poll the CRL from the VeriSign CA Server during ISAKMP negotiation. As a result, ISAKMP negotiation fails with the message "ISAKMP (0):Unknown error in cert validation, 0" and packets are lost until the PIX Firewall receives the CRL.
•
CSCdr82395
PIX Firewall by default generates the isakmp identity hostname command prior to any IPSec configuration. Subsequently, when attempting to configure the Cisco Secure VPN Client version 2.1.2, an IPSec tunnel cannot be established because the IPSec tunnel defaults to IP address as its default ISAKMP ID type. This also causes the Cisco Secure Policy Manager version 2.1 to fail when it tries to configure the PIX Firewall through an IPSec tunnel.
•
CSCdr78383
H.323 RAS fixups cannot be disabled through the PIX Firewall when the PIX Firewall unit is between the H.323 Gateway and Gatekeeper. When the PIX Firewall is between the Gateway and Gatekeeper, whenever PIX Firewall detects RAS packets, it enables packet checking. Use the debug h323 ras event command to determine if RAS packets are passing through the PIX Firewall.
•
CSCds44827
If two four-port Ethernet boards are inserted in a PIX 525 with an R license, which only supports 6 interfaces, the last two interfaces are ignored. The following messages appear at startup:
–
Ignoring NIC in PCI slot 3
–
Ignoring NIC in PCI slot 3
These messages indicate that the PIX Firewall unit detected more interfaces than permitted by the license and ignored the extra two.
•
CSCds11526
The following information applies to use of the crypto map token authentication command. Token based authentication for the Cisco VPN 3000 Client connecting to a PIX Firewall has been tested and verified for the following:
–
Security Dynamics (SDI) SecurID and ACE Server with SDI RADIUS:
Next Token mode
New Pin mode
–
SDI with Cisco Secure ACS Windows NT version:
Next Token mode
New Pin mode
–
SDI with Cisco Secure ACS UNIX version:
Next Token mode
New Pin mode does not work
Token based authentication using the SDI RADIUS server has also been tested and verified with the Cisco Secure VPN Client version 1.1 for Next Token mode and New Pin mode.
