It seems that if any one or more of your ports stop responding - the system will failover to the standby unit.
I have the standard failover cable between the units as well as an ethernet connection between the 520's for stateful information sharing. Works pretty well.

Dear All,
In a PIX 520 failover bunder, wherein both the active & standby units are
populated with a single 4 10/100 Ethernet port adapter each, does the
failover mean that redundancy is only provided, when the active unit fails
(Device level redundancy), or else if a port on the active unit fails,
will a port on the standby unit provide automatic failover.
Kindly enlighten me.
Thanks a lot in advance.
With warm regards,
Vinod.
