But I always recommend to do it on a maintenance window. A single communication issue on the failover link can cause a network outage. </P><P></P><P>Mike </P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:11:29 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-pix/m-p/1780234#M493580 Maykol Rojas 2011-11-12T18:11:29Z Failover PIX https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-pix/m-p/1780235#M493583 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Noted</P><P> Thanks. </P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:16:47 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-pix/m-p/1780235#M493583 samuel_M9 2011-11-12T20:16:47Z
