Two Security Context for Customers on One firewall means TWO Virtual
firewall on One Physical Box.
so every Customer context has its own configuration, interfaces, security
policies(ACLs), etc.
means every customer context acts as a virtual firewall with its own
configuration that contains almost all the options that are available in a
standalone firewall.
In Active/Active Failover, both units can pass network traffic which works
in only multiple context mode for load balancing .
On Firewall 1 - CustA(Active),CustB(Stand)---- Firewall 2 -
CustA(Stand),CustB(Active)
Please correct me If I am missing something .

Thanks
Shahid Ansari
