What good is a failover device that locks up every so often? Sounds stupid
to me.
We have never had a PIX that failed over to lockup because it was running as
a FO license. We have had it fail back over for the same reason the
unrestricted failed over :-) something like 300,000 sessions when it is
suppose to support 500,000..........
One of our pair of PIX's is currently going on 48 days running on the FO
licensed PIX.. The UR licensed PIX is dead and we have been through 3 RMA's
trying to get it working again.
