Are you just using the command "failover active" or have you tried using "failover exec active"?

Hi Thank you so much for your fast reply. I just used failover active. I did not use failover exec active<br />
I can see &quot;<b>exec</b>&quot; means Execute command on the designated unit, what is this meaning exactly ?

Hi We have failover pair ASA 5555(ASA1 and ASA2). After we configured failover, we cannot switch active/standby by command failover active. When I use the command in ASA2(in standby status), it can only change Secondary status into Primary status. When I re-used the command, the Primary change back into Secondary, the standby status in ASA2 remain unchanged. Anyone can explain it ? Thank you

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
