Installing a 3des License
3des license is now available for free from Cisco, and since my PIX didn’t have a 3des license I headed over to this link to get it for free.
Upgrading IOS to Latest Version
Memory Upgrade
Since I have a PIX 515 (not a 515e) I needed to upgrade the flash from monitor mode. The current version on it was 6.3 and I wanted it to be at least v7 as I wanted to be able to use it as a transparent firewall.
The first step was to upgrade the memory as the 515 only had 32mb, so I added a PIX-515-MEM-32 to get to 64mb DRAM
IOS Upgrade
pix515# write net <tftp server ip>:pixconfig
Now reload the PIX and send a break to enter monitor mode
monitor> interface 1 monitor> address <ip address> monitor> server <tftp server address> monitor> file pix704.bin monitor> tftp
Once the new PIX image is booted, run the following:
pix515> enable pix515# copy tftp flash
After that I did the same exact process to get to version 8.0(4)
