Re: Failover distance between two PIXes [7:11468]

2001-07-09 Thread Patrick Ramsey

Without the serial cable, there is no way to keep the configs updated on
both machines.  The ethernet cables are actualy what control failover.

In theory, you could run ip to and from a termserver on either end and
connect to a local serial port from that term server to the pix.

IE. PIX1serial to TS1--ethernet-TS2---serial to pix2

Remember for failover to take place though you still have to have an
ethernet connection between the two, and for stateful failover it must be
full duplex.

Is there any way to create failover between PIXes over longer distance than
the max limit of the failover cable (modified RS-232). I am thinking of
connecting two houses. The distanse between them is around 2 kilometers.
There is an Gb Ethernet optical cable between them that I can use if the PIX
supports it. I have looked on the CCO but have not seen any article about
this.

Hehe...if you figure it out let me know.  Are you going to have the inside 
outside line running parallel in both houses or are you talking about using
a different outside line for the failover unit?  You could have both active
 just use something to route/split traffic where both are live...but maybe
that doesn't fit the scenario you're trying to resolve.  Having both live
leaves you with the problem of incoming traffic not using both.

I'm not 100% sure...maybe more like 95%...but I don't think the failover
cable would work unless there's some kind of repeater that could be used for
that.

quite simply, you need to upgrade the positronic quasitator on the
motherboard of your packet-dropping device. this will allow the electron
flows to migrate from the electro-channeling device over the flex-capacitor
to a lambda on the quanta-channeling circuit.

What planet are you from

But beware...if you upgrade using a non-Cisco positronic quasitator, you
run the risk of creating a negative induction through the flux capacitor
which will result in inverted backpressure toward the source.  This has
the effect of cancelling out the signal or at least reducing it to the
point where you can never achieve failover. 

Besides, it voids your warranty.

NO NO NO! everyone knows you look beside the brush protectors and plug
