Downloading the Current Software
• pix6nn.bin—The latest software image. Place this image in the TFTP directory so it can be
downloaded to the PIX
Firewall unit.
• pfss512.exe—Contains the PIX Firewall Syslog Server (PFSS), supported on Windows NT, 2000,
or XP. After installation, this receives syslog messages from the PIX
Firewall and store them in daily
log files. The PIX
Firewall sends messages to the PFSS via TCP or UDP and can receive syslog
messages from up to 10 PIX
Firewall units.
• rawrite.exe—A program you use to create a Boothelper diskette for the PIX Firewall.
Getting a TFTP Server
Note If you are using a PIX Firewall unit that contains a diskette drive, use a “Boothelper” diskette to
download the PIX
Firewall image with TFTP. If your site has a Cisco router, the use of TFTP is similar
to the way you download Cisco IOS software to your router.
You should have a TFTP server to install the PIX Firewall software.
Note If the PIX Firewall hangs during a TFTP file transfer, press Esc to abort the TFTP session and return to
the command prompt.
Cisco.com account, you can download a TFTP server from Cisco from the Web or by FTP.
You can download the server software from the following website:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/tftp
Follow these steps to download the server by FTP:
Step 1 Start your FTP client and connect to ftp.cisco.com. Use your Cisco.com username and password.
Step 2 Enter the command cd /cisco/web/tftp and use the ls command to view the directory contents.
Step 3 Use the get command to copy the TFTP executable file to your directory.
Downloading Software from the Web
You can obtain PIX Firewall software by downloading it from Cisco’s website or FTP site. If you are
using FTP, refer to “
Downloading Software with FTP.”
Before downloading software, you need to have a Cisco.com username and password. If you do not have
these, register at the following website:
