Hi Sim, You can configure PIX Firewall send the message to a syslog server when the Active PIX in failover down, then the configure the syslog server to notify admin via e-mail.
To make two PIX Firewall in Failover you need: 1. PIX IOS vers 5.0 or later to run Statefull Failover 2. Two PIX must be same IOS version and same hardware. 3. PIX 515, 525, 535. 4. Feature-based license key with Failover feature support. You can take out the secondary PIX, but the failover do not work in your network.
