The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ASA Failover Management Crossover

Asked by rclaxton1 in Cisco PIX Firewall

Tags: ,

I have a question related to the configuration below. I have a live ASA 5520 and another ASA with a default configuration. What I need to do is have the Lan/stateful failover occur on the Management Int using a crossover between the two. Since one of my firewalls is already live, I believe the only option is the management int. WIth this said, could I use the code below and simply replace the int with manament?

Also, if the primary manament address had physical int address of 192.168.199.2 and secondary of .3 would not the failover interface ip ASA failover addresses be flipped on the Primary and Secondary? I ask because below it has them the same. Thanks. --Rob.




Hi all,

I just setup two ASA and I am trying to configuring stateful failover using a crossover cable but both devices don't seem to detect each other. Below is the failover configuration:

interface GigabitEthernet0/3
 description LAN/STATE Failover Interface

Primary
failover
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface ASA_Failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover link ASA_Failover GigabitEthernet0/3
failover interface ip ASA_Failover 192.168.199.2 255.255.255.252 standby 192.168.199.3

FW00# sh fail state

               State          Last Failure Reason      Date/Time
This host  -   Primary
               Active         None
Other host -   Secondary
               Not Detected   Comm Failure             06:33:57 CST Mar 1 2007
