i still do not have the new one. but in cisco advisor, it list one as 5515x-k9 and the old as 5515x-MB, below is the show version of the 5515x-MB. i know K9 has more to do with the encryption level the box comes with. so im curios as to what MB stands for.

Hi,

I was not able to find what exactly MB means but if the show version matches that of the K9 you should be able to get the failover up and running.

Aditya

I believe MB stands for Motherboard.

This is similar to how some ASA code reports the PCB (printed circuit board aka motherboard) serial number differently than the chassis serial number leading to confusion in requesting activation keys for feature licenses.

topic Yes, you are correct. in Network Security
