PIX failover 实验

部分配置省略：

PIX Version 6.3(3)
interface ethernet0 100full
interface ethernet1 100full
nameif ethernet0 outs security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
ip address outs 192.168.18.201 255.255.255.0

sho failover信息：在secondary PIX

开始时是primary PIX为active状态，secondary PIX 为standby状态。

经过5秒左右状态切换过来！

是primary PIX为standby状态，secondary PIX 为active状态。

注：1、在应用层几乎察觉不到切换

         2、实验参考：Cisco PIX Firewall and VPN Configuration Guide, Version 6.3 中的Using PIX Firewall Failover部分
