Dear All,
I have a two units of PIX 515E in running my environment as a Active/Standby mode in redundant manner.
Now I have a purchase third one for Back up if one PIX will fallen or any kind of trouble that's why immediately we place that one.
Can you please sugget which ASA will I purchase, and that will ensure failover with another PIX with Active/ Standby mode.
Please see the attached existing configuration for your better convenience.
Please help me which model would like to purchase ?
Regards
Palash

You can't mix PIX and ASA in a failover-scenario. You even can't mix different ASA models. So your options are to get a used third PIX 515E which I would not reccomend as they are very old devices and won't be supported that long any more. Or better you go directly for a new ASA FO-system. The smallest ASA that supports full failover out of the box without additional licenses are the ASA 5515-X models. They would match even more then your requirements.

Hello,
The failover configuration requires two identical security appliances connected to each other through a dedicated failover link and, optionally, a stateful failover link. PIX and ASA cannot be mixed in a failover-scenario
