PIX failover problem

[dadams]

We have 2 PIX 515s, each with 4 ifs - outside, inside, dmz, and private connected between the two. If we run the primary PIX by itself, it works fine. When we connect the secondary and bring it up, both may work for a while, but then it will hang. Any ideas?

Make sure the failover cable is connected ok. I had the same problem and it turned ot the Primary end of the cable was plugged into the Secondary PIX.

Cisco is sending us some replacement units this week. Hoepfully, we will be able to set them up next week.

I had the exact same problem. This was a known ethernet controller issue and we got two "new" boxes from Cisco. When yours arrive, look closely at the paint on the covers, ours clearly had been touched up and/or refurbed units. Nonetheless, they worked!
