Heya,

Well, technically, you can only configure failover for two identically
configured PIX devices (hardware, firmware, interfaces etc). And one
needs to be Unrestricted, while the other can be Failover or
Unrestricted (but not Restricted). Also, the 506E doesn't support
failover. However, if your 515E only has 2 interfaces, you could always
use your 506E as a cold standby. >:)

I'm looking at replacing a 506E with a 515E - can I keep the 506E as a
fail over firewall? Which 515E would I need? What would the other
options be? [any?]
