Deleting a failover of PIX

• License number of PIX

  Dear all,

  Am I right for the limited license in PIX, I can't activate the failover? In other words, once I activated the license for failover, the PIX must be permitted without restrictions.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Raymond

  Yes you are right. Failover will not work on a permit restricted on the firewwall either primary or secondary. Need a permit without restrictions on primary school and the same failover license or secondary.

• Type of failover and the difference

  Hello

  I would like to know what are the different type of failover in PIX 515E with 6,3 OS.

  I want all the details of it.

  I am aware of LAN-based failover and failover with cable to failover.

  Why the failover cable is use and it is important.

• VPN Tunnel, routing

  Hello

  We had the following problem:

  One of our customers is connected through the VPN Client software. Our counterpart is a hub. We use IP addresses in the range of 172.28.0.0 to 172.32.255.255.

  The client uses IPs 172.16.0.0/13.

  When the customer uses the tunnel a connection to a host in our net 172.16.x.x is possible. A connection to a host 172.32.x.x is not possible.

  172.16.x.x ping is shown in the log file of my firewall (where all packages should travel through). A ping to 172.32.x.x do not reache the firewall.

  Thanks in advance.

• Simple failover PIX LAN question

  Is - this (PIX 6.3) FO license that is sufficient for LAN-based failover to secondary unit or to be unrestricted? I can not find the exact answer on the Cisco Web.

  Marko

  Yes, Marko, FO license is sufficient for the minor unit. Primary should be allowed without restriction.

• PIX 515E failover

  I have a pair of PIX 515E (6.3) running in failover mode. They are currently connected to a single chassis base. We are upgrading our network with the heart, dual 6500's. Is there a way to connect each PIX to a separate kernel (1 PIX - Core1, PIX 2 - Core2) to allow a failure of the base?

  Core 1 and Core 2 will have a L2 link between them. If the current active PIX is connected to Core1 and Core 1 dies, this would not lead to support PIX failover. All LAN traffic would go through Core 2, but since he does not have an active path to the active PIX 1, traffic would drop. My reasoning is correct?

  Is there a way to connect the PIX to two cores running V6.3?

  Hello

  If you use the cable-based failover, you can change the basis of LAN failover.

• Replication failover PIX VPN (CEP) certificate

  Hello

  Had a pair of PIX 525 on 6.3 (4) version running in active/failover mode, I recently configured VPN authenticated by certificates, which involved the use of PRACTICE in order to get the certificate to the PIX. Certificates have been imported for the PIX from a snap-in with the software component CEP Protocol Windows CA server by following the instructions described here: http://www.ciscosystems.com/en/US/docs/security/pix/pix63/configuration/guide/sit2site.html#wp1007263 .

  It all works very well, the configuration has been saved, certificates registered cases using "ca save all", everything works well except the certificates that have been imported have not been replicated for the PIX failover - the command 'Show the ca certificate', shows not all certs.

  Private keys show 'sh ca mypubkey rsa' are the same on both devices.

  I'm not able to find any documentation about how certificates must be replicated on the PIX failover, and it is not possible to write certificates again on the PIX failover using the commands they were initially imported by:

  PIX - fw # conf t
  WARNING *.
  Configuration of replication is NOT performed the unit from standby to Active unit.
  Configurations are no longer synchronized.

  PIX - FW (config) auth ca ca
  WARNING *.
  Configuration of replication is NOT performed the unit from standby to Active unit.
  Configurations are no longer synchronized.

  Everyone knows a similar issue or how to get the PIX failover with the new ca certificates?

  Kind regards

  Sarunas

  Hello Sarunas

  PIX 6 indeed do not synchronize keys and certificates automatically.

  However, you should be able to do this first, forcing a failover (i.e. secondary image make it active), then register (now active) high school with the certification authority.

• PIX 515E failover restart problems

  Thursday, November 23, we went from the PIX cluster to version 7.1 (2) 6.2 (2) with the default memory (64 MB) in each PIX. The Active PIX then suffered what appeared to be leaking memory (attributed to process ARP Thread). This continued for a few days? with the result that we force reloaded the Active PIX every 8 hours to ensure the continuity of the service. Monday 27 after a reload? It has been noticed that the Active PIX leaked is more memory per process threads ARP? the same day, we went from the cluster PIX to 128 MB of memory. Then, we have had failovers active / standby every 2 hours? that seems to be attributed to missed? Hello? in the e-mail of failover? We decided then to configure LAN failover on the PIX cluster. In the process of activation of this secondary feature PIX (which was the current asset) crashed

  You have any explanation as to why these events took place.

  Hi Carlton,

  I can tell you that maybe the method you used to upgrade starts the chain of problems. I used for the migration of these products and I've never met before. In general I WINS configurations, program a service stop and I leave the unit of failover working alone while I do the upgrade of the unit the ex-active. After the upgrade, I had loaded the software configuration I saved before and made the customizations.

  For the PIX without restrictions, is real memory of 128 MB required. For the restricted permission, you can use the default of 64 MB.

  After that, you can place the active unit instead of the recovery. You improve the unit of failover so and connect again in active, already in production and restart the synchronization.

  For all my clients, it worked.

  It will be useful. If Yes, please rate.

  Kind regards

• PIX failover

  We have a PIX 515e failover bundle. In the documentation, I read that the PIX failover will restart even 12 hours min. This also occur in a failover design 'ordinary '?

  If the status of the lan failover interface connection is in place:

  * The only FO PIX will start and becomes automatically active if it fails to detect the primary UR PIX.

  * The device recharges itself all 24 hours, becomes automatically active whenever.

  If the lan failover interface link status is down:

  * The only FO PIX will start and are online but not become active.

  Active failover ordering must be run manually to the active unit.

  * The device recharges itself all 24 hours, requiring another manual failover active to make it active each time.

  This is precisely why we suggest to to connect with PIX failover through a switch instead of a crossover cable.

• DMZ and PIX failover

  Hello

  I'm pretty happy with the tipping of inside and outside interfaces - i.e. the backup PIX inherits the IP address and MAC address of the main unit. However, what about the DMZ interface? Which also inherits the IP address and MAC of the primary unit?

  In a design of failover DMZ with only a couple of servers on the DMZ, you connect two PIX DMZ interfaces into a common switch (same VLAN of course!) and then plug servers?

  Pretty basic questions, I don't know, but I cannot find an answer to this on cco.

  Best regards, Steve

  Hi Steve,.

  Yes... DMZ interfaces inherited also the IP and MAC address of the primary PIX.

  In this scenario, even if you have a server you need to plug the 2 PIX on a switch and then the server on the same VLAN... This will ensure the physical accessibility of the server at the same time PIX. In case you have only a single connection, you must change the cable manually, when a PIX fails, which is a big headache...

  I hope this helps...

• PIX failover message

  I've recently updated the key for activation on a PIX and now get the message:

  ========================== NOTICE =========================

  This machine has been approved as a unit of secondary failover

  but it lacks a connection to a primary PIX entirely under license.

  Please check the connection of cable to failover to the

  primary system. This machine will restart at intervals

  in its current state.

  I don't want to use failover.

  I tried to disconnect the connector of switch but no change.

  So I have two problems, 1) whenever I make a configuration change, I get the "can not sync config are you high school", but more 2) he worry about the States in the above message that the device will restart at intervals!

  Anyone know how to disable this?

  Hello

  If you do not have this key in the activation message befor Exchange, then you got the incorrect license key. This means that you downgrated a PIX entirely under license in a PIX failover. Reply to the email that you have received the key to and ask the right key. Until you get the right key, your PIX will restart every day.

  I got a bad hit some time ago, that has been disable IPSEC and updated remotely. After the restart, I had to get out there and change the key because the VPN broke down.

  Hope this helps

• With the help of port security with Failover PIX

  Hello

  I want to configure port security on a switch in which a pair of PIX failover are configured. However, after

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/LAN/cat6000/12_1e/swconfig/port_sec.htm

  It seems that this is not possible due to the PIX swapping MAC addresses: "If a workstation with a secure MAC which is configured or learned about a secure port address tries to access another secure port, a violation is marked."

  Does anyone know of a way around this?

  Many thanks in advance,

  Matt

  Hello Matt,

  Unfortunately it not there no work around to your problem.

• Q for PIX-525 spec (failover FE) and the GBIC

  Qestion for PIX-525 spec.

  1 PIX-525-UR-GE-BUN(2GE + 2FE). I want to use 2GE as inside and outside interface and failover FE. I found a doc who must use the GE model 535 failover. Is it supports statefull failover FE model 525?

  2 PIX-1GE-66 map PIX 525, is the built in card GBIC interface, or do I module GBIC order (ex, WS-G5484) to put into the card?

  Thank you

  1. the restriction on the use of a dynamic rollover interface that corresponds to the fastest interface on the PIX is the PIX 535. The PIX 525 cannot switch the line traffic GE rate if this restriction is lifted on the 525 platform. You can use a link FE on a PIX 525 as the dynamic link even if you have GE links as other interfaces.

  2. the GE on the PIX interface card contains a multimode SC connector. No GBIC not necessary... just of cables.

  I hope this helps.

• PIX failover: failover cable disconnected and active the unit off

  Hi all

  We have 2 PIX 515E 6.3 (3) in the failover configuration (not stateful failover). Basically, the failover works very well. Recently, we did some testing of failover and had the following situation:

  When we force the active PIX failover cable is disconnected, the rest-aid box inactive and has not changed in the active state.

  It is the 'normal' behavior or is there something wrong?

  Thank you for your response.

  Daniel Ruch

  Daniel,

  As mentioned previously, the behavior you report is expected. If the failover cable is removed from a pair of PIX failover during the race, each PIX will maintain it's State as active it or standby PIX. Remove the failover cable in effect, disables the failover of both units to avoid having two devices moving to an active state.

  Does make sense? I'm still confused what about * why * you test this though. Is this something you think that will happen in your environment?

  Scott
