[c-nsp] PIX Failover hung up when both units start up at the same time

[Zacchello Marco]

Hi to all,

I have a strange behaviour of tho PIX (failover bundle), when both units start up at the same time,
for example after a power outage. In this situation the failover unit hung up, it isn't possible 
to connect to the unit with console/telnet/ssh. Only powering off and then powering on the failover unit
in a second time, the failover unit starts correctly.
I have two PIX-525, 
Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(4)
7 ethernet IF
with cable failover
and statefull failover lan interface.
The failover works well, after both units boot up correctly.

I'm wondering if someone faced the same issue, or if I have to ask for failover unit substitution.

Thanks for help.
regards
Marco
