RE: Implementing PIX Failover over a Fibre link?

[andrea_avosani () hp com]

You can't have any 10/100 Ethernet fibre ports on the pix (model is 520?) 
firewall, so you
should use two hubs (or switches) with fibre ports between the two pix.
For example:


[PIX]-------------[HUB]============================[HUB]-----------------[P
IX]
   100baseT 100baseT   100baseFX                100baseFX    100baseT  100baseT

The traffic between the two pix is not so heavy, even using the stateful 
failover option, so
even a small hub should work.

Subject: FW: [fw-wiz] Implementing PIX Failover over a Fibre link?


All:

We have a requirement for multi-site resiliance for one of our customers
Extranet sites and I would ideally like to have the 2 PIX firewalls
communicating in the active-passive failover mode, however, the two sites
are approximately 2 miles distant from one another.  The question is, can 2
PIX firewalls operate across a fibre link in failover mode, and if so, how?

Thanks for any and all help
