PIX 525e Failover to PIX515e?

[RichardParry]

Hi,

Quick question, we're using a PIX 525e with the Quad Port F/E card installed at present but are looking at getting a second unit for redundancy. Would it be possible to connect a PIX 515e with the same memory, ports (with the quad port card) and IOS revision as a failover unit (with the failover cable and an Eth cable for stateful failover)? Or can only exact model pairs be used for failover?


Thanx! Richard

For failover you must have exactly the same system setup - hardware down to the (e), RAM, ROM and cards and the same major and minor software version. The first must have an unrestricted license and the second can have a failover license.
