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.

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?
