We suggest a separate interface because there can be quite a bit of traffic going over it, but if your PIX's are relatively lightly loaded then you should be OK. Monitor it for a while and make sure you're not seeing any unnecessary failovers, these may indicate that the interface is getting too busy and your dropping hello packets. If this starts to become an issue you may need to purchase another interface card for each one and set that up as your failover int.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Sep 2004 23:12:03 GMT gfullage 2004-09-27T23:12:03Z pix lan-based failover using outside interface https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-lan-based-failover-using-outside-interface/m-p/394364#M560188 <P>I have a pair of 515e configured with cable failover. I wanted to configure lan-based failover. I'm currently using the inside and a dmz interfaces, and the only interface available is the outside. Can I use it for the failover?</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:39:02 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-lan-based-failover-using-outside-interface/m-p/394364#M560188 hernacar 2020-02-21T07:39:02Z Re: pix lan-based failover using outside interface https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-lan-based-failover-using-outside-interface/m-p/394365#M560192 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Any interface can be used as the LAN failover interface.
