Hi Pat,
I have got the correct configuration as mentioned in Cisco. I too think
the primary PIX fails as the failover link goes into failed state as the
secondary is down and secondary PIX will become active as the primary is in
failed state.
Has anyone faced this problem ? What is the normal practice of
connecting PIX in failover configuration ? through cross over cable or
through a separate switch ?
Pls reply.
Regards,
Vamsi
