ASA Cluster : Failover

flokisaints@gmail.com — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 16:51:51 GMT

Good day,

So we have two cisco asa 5516-X which is configured as Cluster.

Everything is smooth until we tested the failover.

We connected the Cluster Control Link between the two Firewalls [Interface Gig 1/8] on both firewalls

When we tested to poweroff the Slave in the cluster, the interface gig1/8 also go down, as well as the cluster on both ASA and the port channels as well.

Is there a work around on this? Without using switch in between?

Maybe there's cluster configuration which will can make the port channels active even though cluster control link is down?

Thanks a lot!

suggest to post the confifguration and topology how they are physically connected. what you see in the logs when you trun off slave device power down as part of testing.

also provider what is the OS code running /

Please refer the configuration guide :
