I have successfully completed HSRP and failover configuration.When both switch are runnign then the failover run successful and wheneber one link fail then the failover run successfully but when down one 6509(total box) the failover not working.....
View 7 RepliesWe have a setup of FWSMs configured in single mode in 6509 chassis. Both 6509 are configured in VSS. Recently I have upgraded the firmwre from 4.0(3) to 4.1(3).....before upgradation config sync was not having any problem.
After upgradation...If any one of the FWSM reload..while coming up it gets stuck in config sync and no command we can run on any of the unit and get the error as..
Configuration update in progress by another process. Also on stannby fwsm no running-config displays.
If we used # failover suspend-config on primary and then reloads the standby fwsm...standby boots up with startup config and when # no failover suspend-config command runs on active fwsm..the sync started and completing succssfully within 15 sec..
Also failover works well..with #no failover active..
I have FSWM active/standby installed in 6509-E core switches running following FWSM Firewall Version 3.1(3) Device Manager Version 5.0(2)F..I want to upgrade to latest FWSM version as well as ASDM, I downloaded asdm-622f.bin and c6svc-fwm-k9.4-1-5.bin from cisco portal. When i checked the show version of FWSM, it says..The Running Activation Key is not valid, using default settings: Running Activation Key: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
I have gone through threads on CSC about how to upgrade FWSM in failover mode, now my concern is, Do i have to take care about activation key or keep as it is ? I have maintenance contract with cisco for all devices.
We have two PIX515E ( 6.3), one is Primary( Active) and second one is Standby. after configuration of Secondary Firewall as Standby. getting problem.
1. Configuration part everything is fine
2.we have done failover text also .
Aster Some time , we are not able see Standby Firewall its going down .
last night I started upgrading our ASA5520 active/standby cluster. Because of lack of memory, I stopped the upgrade process and will continue when the memory modules have arrived... Currently I'm running 8.0(5) on both nodes (Version: Ours 8.0(5), Mate 8.0(5))Whenever I use the "write standby" command on the active ASA, the passive ASA seems to drop it links for a short while.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have multiple 6509 vss switch. and i notice when the standby chassis reboot I didn't get any snmp trap, but I got when the active one reboot. my question is is there any mib out there for detecting and got a trap when standby reboot?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have my hsp setup where switch A and switch B share active/standby roles among several vlans. In the last few weeks, i have seen trouble tickets where connectivity is lost and upon investigation i discover that i can ping physical interface IP addresses for both standby and active devices but not the standby IP. I have also validated configurations and layer 2 paths and they haven't been broken.
What I end up doing is failover to the standby device and back and the problem clears, reachability is restored. My question is whether I am solving this the right way. If so, what is it that would cause the standby IP to not be reachable and how does my solution fix that? N/B the switches are catalyst 6509's.
I have 2 6509 chasis with one SUP720-3B in each and current IOS is s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4 and 2 FWSM with version is 3.3.1 I need to upgrade FWSM system software to 4.1, after checking FWSM 4.1 release notes, I thought of upgrading IOS to latest version to 12.2(33)SXJ.I got new 2 CF of 512MB and downloaded the new IOS on them and need to upgrade 6509 IOS first to meet the requirement for FWSM upgrade.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two WLC version 7.3.101.0 with the standby unit having HA-SKU. I have tested the AP-SSO functionality without any problem in lab with direct connection on RP port between two WLC. Once I brought them into data centre in separate location (latency is less than 10ms between the two DC), the standby unity always went into maintenance mode. The booting process on standby unit went to maintenance mode as shown below:
Management Gateway and Peer Redundancy Management interface are not reachable.Entering maintenance mode.
I have checked on the core switches at 2 data centre that the two WLC RP ports are connected to same VLAN and it is spanned across MAN link (10GB and less than 10ms delay). The spanning tree on those ports are forwarding as well.I have rebooted the second unit but no luck.The interface between two DC is using MTU 9216 which I do not think would cause this issue.
How I can actively monitor the interfaces and overall status of 2 x ASA 5500s in an Active/Standby configuration?
I can setup monitoring of the interfaces on the Active member but I'm not sure how to manage the Standby member?
Is there a way to access the asa in a failover pair that is in standby mode from the primary asa? IE I am logged into the primary asa via command line and was hoping to access the other asa from here.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to work with two ASA's 5550 in HA (Acitve-Standby) like perimetral firewalls and also work with another ASA 5540 but like a SSL VPN Remote Access to end users.Which will be the best topology to this scenary?. Perhaps i need to put the ASA 5540 SSL VPN together with the ASA's in HA directly in a port.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue where when I upgrade from 8.2(5) to 8.4(2) on an active/passive asa 5585 running in transparent mode I can no longer reach the standby ip. The BVI interface appears to be created properly, the device IP and standby IP are listed in the config under the BVI interface and my inside and outside interfaces are both joined to BVI1-group.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this 2x ASA5540 firewall and notice the it is configured with a standby ip. The firewall is run in Active/Passive mode.However, the standby ip of this firewall is not point to the secondary firewall and vice versa for the primary firewall. [code]
1) May i know how is this configuration valid in the first place? I have checked through the configuration. None of the configuration is related to this ip address.
2) Can we remove this standby ip address on both the firewall and correct to the correct primary and seconadary ip address in both firewall?
3) We tried to use this ip address but cannot be used ? Is it related to the configuration of the standby ip address.Do note that the ping to this ip address x.x.x.120 is unreachable.
I have 2 x 5510's in active/standby mode, things look fine until the active one needs to be failed over and I realize the standby one is dead. I never notice as the lights on the ASA look good, I only nice as I can't telnet or console onto it, how can I debug this issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can no longer communicate with the standby IP address configured on the inside interface of a secondary ASA5510. Just a couple days ago I could snmp, http, ssh, and ping it.From the switch that is directly connected to the inside interface I'm getting unexpected results when viewing the the arp table. The switch is saying the IP address associated with the ASA's inside interface has mac address 0023.3353.bcc8 but the ASA is saying its inside interface mac address is 0023.33bb.8362?Furthermore when I issue the "sh mac address-table interface f5/46" command on the switch i see multiple macs on the interface that is connected to the inside interface of the ASA...

Come across pix 525 with 7.2.4 , 256 MB RAM, experienceing high memory utilization ?.show memory was giving used memory = 97%.All I had done was, i did a reboot of the firewall since we were not able to take the control of the f/w.I wonder why only the standby f/w had this issue and not the primary does not have, just to rule out that it was not due to Traffic.I have searched in bugtool kits and support forums and did not find anything relevant except for a similar issue for ASA CSCsg43844.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have 2 ASA 5505 running 8.3(1) and ASDM 6.3(1).
the first unit is currently working, and i now wish to configure the second unit as standby. im configuring through the ASDM GUI. Started the HA Wizard, choose Active/Standby configuration and enter the IP of the peer device. checks come back all ok. On the LAN link configuration page (step 3of6) Interface is pre selected as VLAN99, I give it a logical name as iface_fail, and enter 10.0.0.1 as primary address and 10.0.0.2 as standby, subnet as 255.255.255.248, and select port Ethernet0/5
Note that if i click on the buttons next to the IP fields, i get IP addresses of remote hosts!.
I have a pair of asa5520's in active/standby configuration. I plan on ugrading the asa/asdm images to 8.4 shortly (currently on 8.0) and would like to do this with zero downtime. Specifically, I would like to upload the new software to the standby unit, upgrade it, swap standby/active units and then upgrade what will become the standby after the swap.The problem I'm having is getting the new images uploaded onto the standby unit. I've read that the routing table is not shared from the primary and the USB ports are "for future use". I have no problem uploading the new images to the active unit via tftp...but can't do the same to the standby.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a document that explains how the configurations are updated to the standby ASA and what needs to be manually added tot he ASA? I have two ASA 5510 running ASA ver 8.3(2) and ASDM 6.4(1). When I add static routes to the primary ASA the routes are not sent to the failover ASA. Is this to be expected or do I have a bug?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi read that you need only one L-ASA5510-SEC-PL for setting up a Active/Standby Failover. I installed the license on the 1st ASA and tried to setup the failover via the ASDM wizard. It always fails, because the 2nd device can't have a 'base' license.So does this mean, i really need another license?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHere are the configs for failover:

failover lan unit secondary
failover
In the above configs is it i m missing something for failover? when i shut the INSIDE interface of Secondary ASA I get the below output, It shows me secondary failed and primary Active, WHY it is showing me FAILED instead of STANDBY/READY. What i know about firewall failover is when active goes down the other becomes standby unit but in this scenario it is showing me FAILED,
FW0001(config)# sh failover
Failover On
Failover unit Secondary

I have two ASA 5520 version 8.2 in active Standay Mode. What is a good practice to setup IPS AIM ssm-20 for this setup.
Is IPS should be in Fail-Open or Fail-Close mode ?
Is Mangement ip for both IPS module should be same or diffrent. ?
i have a active/standby pair of asa 5520's, i can access the active asa but not the standby asa via console,
i have tried the password recovery on the standby unit but it does not work, do i need to remove the unit from the network to become a standalone unit to perform the recovery?
I got 2 x 5520 ASAs configured in active/standby mode and they are connected to 2 x 4500 switches in which too configured for failover.Telnet to ASAs is allowed only via subnet 172.18.0.0./24
I can only ping and telnet to the active ASA from subnet 172.18.0.0./24 but not the standby But i can ping and telnet to both the active and standby ASAs within the 4500 switches.
I currently have a LAN-based failover setup between two 5510s. The failover link is a crossover cable. In the current setup, if I unplug the crossover cable both units become active. From what I understood from Cisco documentation, each unit should mark the failover interface as down and there shouldn't be any failover. That's exactly how I want this setup to work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a 6509 on my network and also have LMS4.1 for management. My 6509 is listed in my lms as a device. The config is in LMS. But I am not getting any syslog messages in LMS for my 6509. I have logging turned on and I have my LMS server listed in the config using the logging IP address command. What could be missing that would prevent the syslog messages from showing up in LMS. I have other devices that send syslog messages fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just finished setting up two ASA5510s in Active/Standby Staeful failover, using the Management interface for both failover and state. Everything appears to be working well.Configurations were transferred and the "sh failover" on both accurately reports their status before and after a failing the active device.I monitored the inside IP with a continuous ping (using a Windows client) and noticed that there were usually two to three ping responses lost. Is this normal?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am looking to add the IPS module to my ASA 5510's. I am contemplating only purchasing one module and placing it in the active ASA. I am willing to accept that in a failure scenario I will loose the IPS functionality until the primary ASA is recovered. I have not had a chance to talk to my SE to see if this is even possible. Has anyone attempted a deployment such as this? Will it work and is it supported?
