Pix 7.0.2 failover not working

[fabrice.demierre]

I have a pair of PIX 525 that were doing failover with v6.3.2 code, but today I've upgraded to v7.02.

The failover interface are up and I can ping the failover ip addresses but the 2 won't communicate. One is a PIX 525 UR and the other is a PIX 525 FO.

Thanks

Hello.

My cisco dealer said once that there is no FO licence for PIXOS 7.

If u want a failover with PIXOS 7 u need a second licence of the same type as the first one.

My guess is that since PIX 7 enables you to do a active-active failover, u get twice the power & throughput, so Cisco wants a little bit more money this time :-)

I was soo wrong :-)

there is a FO licence for PIXOS 7.0 as well as a FO-AA (failover for active active scenarios).

I solve the problem of how to do it.

Secondary PIX failover status checking

PIX#show failover

failover off

~~~

Secondary PIX enable failover

PIX(config)#failover

PIX(config)#show failover

failover on

~~~

thanks
