Failover with Pix 520

r.dalessandro — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 05:48:52 GMT

I would to connect two pix 520 in a failover configuration.

When I ignite the secondary, both secondary's and primary's configuration was resetted. The cable's primary end was inserted in the primary.

I premise to have modernized the version of the secondary one to 5.1 (2) and before it had a 5.3(1).

Which it could be the problem?

Thanks.

Hi....

Is both the pix running same software ver.?

If yes then first complete config on the PIX ,which you want to make Primary ,then enable failover feature and 2nd Pix put off (power) and connect failover secondary end cable to (secondary )Pix and power on 2nd Pix.As It boots up after that config sync. started from Pix Primary to secondary.Now as it completes login to secondary pix and give command write mem.

Then test failover feature.

If still problem write me in detail.

Jejus.
