ASA HA ACTIVE\FAILOVER , Primary device in nt preempting to active

SANTHOSHKUMAR SARAVANAN — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:40:34 GMT

Hi All

I have HA for my networks setup ( Active\Standby ) , when my primary ASA fails down or powered off automatically failover replication is happening and my secondary device carrying the traffic . whn i power on back my primary device its nt prempting to active and restoring back to active state,

let me know any commands to be added , else it have any defined time interval so that primary device ll prempt automatically to active state ,

else we do it manually by forcing failover active .

config of primary ASA

failover lan unit primary

ASA Active/Standby failover does not support preemption.

Only ASA Active/Active failover or multicontext mode supports preempt when configured under failover group as follows:
