I have configure Active/Standby Failover.
I have 2 PIXes (7.2(2))connected through a failover serial cable and crossover Ethernet cable for Stateful interface.
In the primary PIX:
#sh run failover
failover
failover link statefa Ethernet3
failover interface ip statefa 192.168.192.1 255.255.255.0 standby 192.168.192.2
#sh running-config interface ethernet 3
!
interface Ethernet3
description STATE Failover Interface
speed 100
duplex full
On the secondary PIX enable failover
#failover
When the replication starts, the security appliance console on the SECONDARY unit displays the message:
"Beginning configuration replication: Sending from mate."
---- MALLOC HEADER CORRUPTED -----
dump memory
---
end Rebooting secondary PIX
any help !

Could be either a bad failover cable or a memory corruption.
Sounds like a TAC-case.

hello,
i remember reading some place that it was an issue with memory, but i am not positive
HTH, please rate it.

1. have you tested lan-based failover?
2. have you tried copying the config over manually to the secondary pix?
-> copy tftp startup (then reboot)

Hi!
Just to be sure, can you do a "show version" on both PIXes to confirm that they have same software version, same software features, same hardware (memory included) and check to see if the primary side of your failover cable (its labled) is connect to the primary PIX.
