Firewall failover

Dear all,

If I have 2 UR licenses for primary Firewall, can I make one of them as Failover.

TIA

yes. you just need to designate one of them as standby in the config if you are doing lan based failover

Thanks Justin,

I will make the other as standby and test them if it works fine. Is there any special configs for that or same as usual.

Regards

Faiz

The configs should be the same as if the second pix was failover only. The following link from cisco will aid you in the config of a lan. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that the two pix must be identical

Hi Faiz,

if you have two UR license firewall, you can

run them in Active/Active if you like.

If you decide to make it Active/Standby, get

a FO firewall, it is much cheaper. But

Active/Standby configuration will work with

both UR firewalls but you're wasting your money.
