I have a client that will be moving locations and they use a PIX 501.
In order to change the IP address do I need to upload a whole new
config file or can I just make a change to the IP scheme? Waht would
be the commands to make a change for the IP address? Thanks in
advance.

enable# config terminal
no ip address outside
ip address outside NEWIP NEWNETMASK

write memory
clear xlate


The above is sufficient for a properly configured PIX 501 running
PIX 6.2 or PIX 6.3. If it happens to be running PIX 6.1, then
it should be upgraded -- but besides the upgrade matter, in PIX 6.1
you also need to check the 'access-list' and 'static' and 'global'
commands in case they mention the old outside IP. This is not necessary
in a properly configured PIX 6.2 or PIX 6.3 system: in 6.2 and 6.3
it is a configuration bug to refer to the interface address by number
in the rest of the configuration (the word 'interface' or
'interface outside' would get used instead.)

I'm in a similar soup Could you please drop a hint *how* to upgrade?
I mean we go to the links you have posted earlier, and then what? We
download the upgrades to a local PC? How do we actually install on the
pix?

Thanks & Regards

The upgrade process is fairly well documented. See
