Secondary PIX

Dec 03, 2007 2 Replies

Hello folks,



I am new to PIX technology...we have stateful failover configured(515E)...recently the secondary PIX brokedown..and cisco has shippedpout a replacement unit...I would like to know as the minimum config I have to do to make it sync with the Primary PIX..Primary has Unrestricted and Secondary has Failover License...your help is appriciated.



Thanks in advance! cheers


If you are using the failover cable:

Power on the secondary unit (with a clean configuration) and enable failover on the unit if it is not already enabled:

hostname(config)# failover

The active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby unit. As the configuration synchronizes, the messages "Beginning configuration replication: sending to mate" and "End Configuration Replication to mate" appear on the primary console.

Check your failover status:

hostname# show failover
