Question : xmodem with pix

How can I use xmodem with a pix 525. I have done this a couple times with a router but cant seem to find any documentation on how to do with a Pix.

Can anyone help me out with the process??


Thanks

Answer : xmodem with pix

i would use the monitor mode on the pix instead of xmodem.  this shows how to upgrade from monitor mode, but you shouls be able to get the jist of it,  to get into monitor mode, hit the break key in a hyper terminal connection via console cable while the pix is booting.

Example - Upgrading the PIX Firewall from Boothelper or Monitor Mode
monitor> interface 1
0: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:14 irq:10)
1: i8255X @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11)

Using 1: i82557 @ PCI(bus:0 dev:13 irq:11), MAC: 0002.b945.a23c
monitor> address 172.18.124.154
address 172.18.124.154
monitor> server 172.18.125.3
server 172.18.125.3
monitor> file pix611.bin
file pix611.bin
monitor> ping 172.18.125.3
