Frequent Ask Questions

• What is the Cisco PIX-FO PIX Failover Cable?

  The Cisco PIX-FO PIX Failover Cable is designed to connect two Cisco PIX firewalls in a failover configuration. This setup ensures that if one firewall fails, the other automatically takes over, providing continuous network security and connectivity.

• How does the failover mechanism work with this cable?

  The failover mechanism works by constantly syncing the state and configuration between the two connected PIX firewalls. If the primary firewall experiences a failure, the secondary firewall seamlessly assumes control, minimizing downtime.

• Is the Cisco PIX-FO cable compatible with all PIX firewall models?

  The Cisco PIX-FO failover cable is specifically designed for use with certain models of Cisco PIX firewalls. Compatibility should be verified with the specific PIX models you are using by checking the product documentation or consulting with Cisco support.

• How long is the Cisco PIX-FO failover cable?

  The typical length of the Cisco PIX-FO failover cable is determined by the specific model and requirements, but it\'s generally designed to suit standard data center rack configurations.

• Do I need special configuration to enable failover using this cable?

  Yes, proper configuration is required on both primary and secondary PIX firewalls to enable failover functionality. This includes configuring the failover settings and ensuring both devices are properly synchronized and operational.

• Can the Cisco PIX-FO cable be used for load balancing?

  No, the Cisco PIX-FO cable is specifically for failover purposes and does not support load balancing between the connected firewalls. It ensures redundancy rather than balancing network traffic.
