PIX Failover configuration?

[jason.aarons]

I need clarification on the pix failover.

Each PIX will have it's own inside and outside ip addresses. You can't use the same ip on both units (correct?).

We currently use a 255.255.255.252 ip address with our ISP on the outside interface, this means I need to contact them and request a 255.255.255.248 address, correct?

Correct.

When a failover does occurs, the 2 PIX's will swap addresses and mac addresses on each interface to ensure a seamless failover.
