Subject: RE: Cisco PIX: questions
c) For statefull failover on Gigabit enviorment (and working also
with very high bandwith requirements), does the "link" between the
PIXes need to be gigabit too? Can the statefull failover keep up
with high bandwith?
c) Not 100% certain but my gut tells me that a fast ethernet link will be
sufficient
The PIX uses a serial connection to do stateful failover, not ethernet or
other, so you have to PIX connected to the gigabit ethernet network with a
serial cable in between. When one PIX fails the other assumes the MAC and IP
addresses of the previously active PIX.
ie.
PIX1---\
| \
Serial ----- Switch ----- Router
| /
PIX2---/
d) Version 6 allows SSHv1 support.
As does 5.3
