I have pix 525 with failover , when i notice that The failover pix become active most of the time especially when there are a high traffic if i switch to primary it work fine for 5 or 6 hours then switch to failover , also i configured a statefull ,

your advice is appreciated

when the failover occurs and the secondary device becomes active, what does the "show failover" indicate??

Nothing not normal every thing is normal and also the interfaces ar marked as normal .

Check the uptime "sh version" of the primary firewall. It could be that the primary firewall is reseting.

I was thinking like that but it doesn't make a reset at all. but I notice when I type show failover interface 6 is always marked with "test" not like other interfaces marked with "normal" , could it be the problem at this interface .
