[c-nsp] PIX 7.0 Failover Question/Problem

[Jimmy Changa]

Hi Folks, 

I have 2 questions, one of them may be more of a problem then a question. 

Question 1. 

Should I be able to telnet secondary/standby unit via its assigned IP?
My active unit is x.x.x.2 and the standby is x.x.x.3. I cant ping or
telnet x.x.x.3.

Question 2. 
With a Active/Standby Cable-based w/ Stateful LAN, what is the
expected time frame for failover to complete. When I manually failover
the active to the standby it take between 45 to 60 seconds. I also
noticed the adjacent routers show it looses OSPF neighbor status with
the firewall during this time. Ill add the failover portions of my
config.

Thanks, 
Joe
