IMO, stateful failover means active TCP connections are retained and, once the firewall fails over there might be a small blip, but eg downloads will resume.
This does not appear to be the case on a PIX. I have configured cable based, and stateful failover using dedicated interfaces and can see the state table being populated. 2950 switches have been also set and verified. The firewalls certainly failover, however, state is not retained and downloads break and have to be restarted from scratch.
So.... has anyone had a PIX configured to do this?
If so, please enlighten me with a how to.
