| PIX Failover |
|
One important feature of the PIX is failover. It has a proprietary
failover mechanism that can work over a special serial cable or over
a switched LAN. The state information can also be copied with the
stateful failover feature. What makes the PIX an attractive
proposition, when compared to other choices, is Cisco's policy of
supplying the failover PIX at a third of the price of the primary,
thus making failover a very economical solution.
