Kostas,
On the back of the PIX, look for a 'FO' in the part number or
description. The primary would have something such as 'UR'. HTH,

What i meant was that Cisco has a policy that the secondary PIX can be
bought
at a lower price, but cannot act on its own as a primary.
We cannot tell which of the two that came is the secondary.

It is - else it would not be able to do all the work if the primary
fails.
Basically both will be configured (nearly) identically. I personally do
not
know the PIX, but I guess you meant that the administration will be done
on
the primary machine and then replicated automagically to the secondary.
