Monitor PIX Failover

[mklimesch]

hallo all,

i run two pix 535 in failover mode. one primary pix in active mode and a secundary pix in standby mode.

can i monitor, perhaps per snmp, when the pix switches from active in secundary mode ?

thanks in advance . . .

Hi,

Failover messages always have a syslog priority level of 2, which indicates a critical condition. To receive SNMP syslog traps (SNMP failover traps), you must configure the SNMP agent to send SNMP traps to SNMP management stations, define a syslog host, and also have compiled the Cisco syslog MIB into your SNMP management station.

For more info on SNMP, refer to this url;
